Chin To Chest Stretch Exercise
Builds strength and control by improving stability, coordination, and efficient movement.
Description
Chin to chest stretch focuses on controlled movement and maintaining proper body alignment throughout the exercise. The goal is to create tension where needed while avoiding unnecessary strain or momentum. This helps improve movement quality, joint stability, and overall physical control.
Instructions:
- Get into a seated position on the floor.
- 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.
Exercise FAQ
How intense should the stretch feel?
Mild to moderate tension is enough. Avoid sharp pain, numbness, or joint pressure—those are signs to back off.
Can this help with posture or movement quality?
Yes—better mobility can make strength exercises feel smoother and help you keep cleaner positions under load.
How often should I include this?
Most people benefit from 3–6 times per week in small doses. Consistency matters more than long sessions.
