How to Do Chin To Chest Stretch

Step-by-step instructions, muscles worked and workouts that use the chin to chest stretch.

How to do it

1. Get into a seated position on the floor.
2. Place both hands at the rear of your head, fingers interlocked, thumbs pointing down and elbows pointing straight ahead. Slowly pull your head down to your chest. Hold for 20-30 seconds.

Form tips

• Start light and own the movement before adding weight.
• Control the lowering phase — don't drop into it.
• Keep breathing; exhale on the hardest part.
• Stop if you feel sharp pain (different from muscle burn).
