This stretch opens up the chest and front deltoids using a broomstick or similar object. It’s a staple in upper body mobility routines, especially for anyone who spends time hunched over at a desk or lifting weights.
Instructions
- Stand with your feet together and hold a stick or broom in front of you.
- Grip it with a wide overhand grip, palms facing down.
- Slowly raise the stick overhead, then gently behind your head.
- Only go as far as comfortable — never force the motion.
- Hold briefly, then return to the start. Repeat 3–5 times.
