Stretching the muscles is very important in order to be flexible. Muscle shortening and the resulting incorrect posture can be corrected by stretching. It helps to reduce tension in the muscles and increase blood circulation. This exercise stretches the chest muscles.
Exercise
Chest stretch (against wall)
Type: Unilateral
Equipment: Körpergewicht
Tutorial
1
Position your left palm at shoulder height against a wall. Arm is stretched and fingertips point to the left.
2
Turn your body to the right until your left chest is stretched. Keep your left hand on the wall at all times.
3
Hold this position until you have reached the specified time. Then do the exercise with your other side.
Tip
Short-term stretching (10-15 seconds) is suitable for warming up before training. To increase flexibility in the long term, the muscle should be stretched for 30 seconds or longer. The intensity should be chosen so that you feel a stretch in the muscle, but not too much pain. Pay attention to how your body feels. Parameters such as temperature, time of day, age and training condition should be taken into account
Make sure that you maintain calm and even breathing while stretching.
