# Bent Arm Chest Stretch

Stand beside a wall and place your bent arm (elbow at a 90-degree angle) against the wall, with your forearm and hand flat against the wall.

## How to do it

1. Stand beside a wall and place your bent arm (elbow at a 90-degree angle) against the wall, with your forearm and hand flat against the wall.
2. Gently rotate your torso away from the wall to feel a stretch in your chest.
3. Hold this position for 15-30 seconds, then switch sides and repeat.

## Form tips

- Keep your shoulder down and away from your ear to avoid strain and ensure proper alignment.
- Rotate your torso slowly to control the intensity of the stretch and prevent overstretching.
- Breathe deeply and steadily to help relax your muscles and enhance the stretch.
