You will complete these 4 exercises, 2 rounds.

Hold both arms in front, hands palm-to-palm. Inhale deeply and smoothly draw your arms out and back. Take in several deep, cleansing breaths and feel your chest and shoulders open. Squeeze your shoulder blades together as you breathe. Return both arms to the front and repeat 5-10 times for a duration of 30 seconds.

Open chest stretch

This exercise is performed by tucking the chin to the chest, and then rolling the head in a circular motion in an attempt to stretch the muscles and ligaments of the neck. Take this slow and controlled. Once half way through the 30 seconds switch directions.

Neck rolls

This stretch helps to lengthen the muscles in your chest and front of your shoulders while also increasing the range of motion. You're going to place your elbows on a couch or chair anything that is sturdy. You are then going to tuck your chin and sit back into your hips. From here you will feel a stretch. Take is slow and do not rush.

Shoulder stretch

Begin to rotate leading with the eyes, head and shoulder as far as possible down toward the hand. Then reverse the motion leading with the eyes, head and shoulder rotating upwards as far as possible. Maintain position of opposite arm with elbow extended while moving in both directions and keep the lumbar, thoracic and cervical aligned during rotation. For second position, change the hand position and place it on the low back with the palm facing up. Repeat the exercise with the hand in this position. Bring the hand back to the start position under the shoulder returning to the full quadruped position after the exercise.
