Hi Leigh,

Your off to a good start. Stretching and flexibility is a process and often takes much longer to improve than regular strength training. It is okay to be struggling with these stretches now because you will improve as you are consistent in your training. It is also alright to choose one or two key exercises from the stretch series to include as part of your warm-up and cool-down on your strength training days.

As you do this exercise, avoid ducking your chin to your chest. Work on keeping your head in a neutral position as you press the shoulders and chest open.

Hi Leigh, as stated by Jeffrey ti is a procress, I suggest to  begin a little more closer to the wall. also you can consider in a separate day to do the same exercise but rest in the position where you can touch the wall. it can be a good additional work if you are specifically tight in this exercise. I find the wall flexion extremely useful with all my clients.

many thanks

This is approximately as the previous video, you need to spend more time in the elevated cat and on the reverse cat.

Yes will do . In another thread Everett has suggested just that so I will leave this exercise alone for a while 

Hi @Jeffrey Bittner and @Alessandro Mainente

I’ve submitted another form check as it’s been a while since the last one and as I’ve been told  my shoulder flexion has improved I wondered what next for me to improve this exercise 

many thanks 

HI Leight, the more you can hold the sternum in the better the result.
