Wide Breathing in your chest
You should support the palms of your hands holding the ends of a bar (you can use a broom). You should raise it above your head by opening your chest and then slowly lower it. Repeat the process 10 times.
Then, with the stick above your head, tip your trunk to one side gently, without displacing your hips. This way you will feel how your ribs are mobilized in the process.
Breathe and release the ribs
Lie on your back on your bed with your legs bent and place your hands in an inverted V shape that will form your ribs. Inhale deeply and feel your ribs open as you breathe.
Hold the air and release it gently and see how your ribs will return to their initial position, repeat the process about 10 times.
Open the side of your body
With the help of a chair, sit on one side of the table and support the side of your arm and the back of the shoulder, place your hands on the back of your neck and your elbows forward, look up at the ceiling rotating your trunk, at this moment you will feel how the pectoral area opens.
Do not forget to breathe gently in this position, this time you will repeat the breathing exercise 5 times and then change sides and repeat 5 more times.
