Instructions

Standing Forward Double Tap and Open Chest

Positioning:

Begin by standing up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Keep your knees slightly bent and your core engaged for stability.
Extend your arms out to the sides at shoulder height, palms facing forward.

Movement:

Forward Tap: Inhale deeply. As you exhale, bring both arms forward to meet in the center of your body. Tap your fingers together lightly.
Open Chest: Inhale again. Open your arms wide back to shoulder height, squeezing your shoulder blades together as you do so. Make sure to keep your palms facing forward.
Repeat: Continue this sequence of tapping your fingers together in front of you and then opening your arms wide. Perform 10-15 repetitions.
Finish: After completing your sets, relax your arms down by your sides and take a few deep breaths to finish the exercise.

Tips:

Maintain a relaxed posture and avoid arching your back.
Keep your neck relaxed and in line with your spine throughout the movement.
Focus on smooth, controlled movements to maximize the benefits.
