Instructions
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and arms fully extended at your sides.
2. Engage your core and maintain a straight posture throughout the exercise.
3. Bring both arms up in front of you at chest level, palms facing down.
4. Cross your arms over each other in the middle, trying to reach as far as you can as if you are hugging a large tree. One arm should be over the other.
5. Hold the crossover position for a second, feeling the stretch in your chest then slowly return to the starting position.
6. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, alternating which arm is on top each time you cross them over.
Make sure to perform this exercise in a controlled manner, focusing on engaging the chest muscles as you bring your arms together.
