Lie on your back.
Bend your legs at your knee joints and place your feet flat on the floor about hip-width apart.
Tuck your chin, and keep your shoulders relaxed.
Spread your arms horizontally out to your sides on the floor. You should feel a mild stretch in your shoulders and across your chest muscles.
If you still don't feel a stretch, try inserting a firmly rolled blanket or a foam roll under your spine extending from your head to your tailbone.
Hold for a count of 15 to 30 seconds as you continue to breathe normally.
Return to the starting position.
Aim for at least 2 to 4 reps.
As you can tolerate this stretch, slowly keep adding to the time so you can hold for a maximum of 2 to 3 minutes.
