A. PEC STRETCH<br />
Hold your hands together behind your bum.<br />
Focus here on pushing your shoulder blades<br />
together and your chest out, standing proud.<br />
You’ll know if you’re doing it correctly, as your<br />
hands will move away from your bum. Hold this<br />
stretch for 20-30 seconds for maximum results.<br />
B. DELT STRETCH<br />
This is the easiest stretch in the book, but many<br />
people make one simple mistake. Bring your<br />
shoulder across your body, look in the opposite<br />
direction and use your other arm to pull your<br />
outstretched arm into your chest. Hold for<br />
20-30 seconds on each arm. The ‘trick’ is to<br />
place your non working arm above or below (not<br />
on) the elbow. This will give you a much better<br />
stretch. The good thing about this move is it can<br />
even be combined with lower body stretches to<br />
do two at once. Try throwing it together with a<br />
lunge<br />
C. LAT STRETCH<br />
The stretch which can be obtained here is glorious. Get on your knees and reach out as if trying to<br />
make a letter ‘Y’. Now sit back into the stretch and try to keep your hands as far in front of you as<br />
possible. Feel your lats stretch out as you do this; hold for 20-30 seconds.<br />
