Short Class 44: Chest Specific Mobility
Class Focus: SHOULDER & SCAPULA
•
31m
This class is specific to those who struggle with a tight chest
Equipment Needed: Yoga blocks. A wall, and something to put your hands on (we use an exercise bench).
The chest is a common area people complain about tightness, so I wanted to make a class specific to this area/issue. Here we’ll work a few different bases to help target this area to improve range of motion and overall strength.
If this is a priority area for you, you'll want to program in this class 1x a week. For anyone with more serious past injuries to this area, it would be wise to listen to your body, and monitor your intensity and range of motion at first. Then you can slowly build up from there, increasing the intensity and range gradually with each class. You shouldn't go full intensity and push your ranges right away - it's always best to start off slow and then build from there.
I hope you feel the butter after this one!
