Against-Wall Lat Stretch

1. Starting Position:
- Stand facing a wall with your feet shoulder-width apart.

2. Hand Placement:
- Extend both arms out in front of you and place your palms flat against the wall at shoulder height.

3. Body Positioning:
- Step back slightly from the wall while keeping your hands in place. Your arms should be straight, and your torso should lean forward.

4. Stretching Movement:
- Gently lower your chest towards the ground while keeping your arms extended. You should feel a stretch in your lats (the muscles along your sides) and upper back.
- Hold this position for about 15-30 seconds.

5. Deep Breathing:
- Breathe deeply and relax into the stretch. Avoid any bouncing movements.

6. Return to Start:
- Slowly return to the starting position by raising your torso and stepping back closer to the wall.

7. Repetitions:
- Repeat the stretch 2-3 times, allowing some rest in between.

Tips:
- Keep your back straight throughout the movement to prevent any strain.
- If you feel any discomfort, ease out of the stretch and adjust your hand position or angle.
