Chest Stretch on Stability Ball

A dynamic chest stretch performed by draping the chest over an exercise ball to lengthen pectoral muscles.

Instructions

1. Get on your hands and knees next to an exercise ball.
2. Place your elbows on top of the ball, keeping your arm out to your side. This is your starting position.
3. Lower your torso towards the floor, keeping your elbow on top of the ball to stretch your chest.
4. Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds, feeling a gentle stretch across your chest.
5. Return to starting position and repeat on the other arm.
6. Perform the stretch on both sides.

Tips

• Use a stability ball that allows you to maintain proper positioning
• This is a unilateral stretch; perform on both sides equally
• Do not force the stretch; only go as far as is comfortable
• Breathe deeply throughout the stretch
• Great for post-workout mobility and muscle recovery
