Pectoral stretch
The pectoral (pec) muscles around your chest are some of the most commonly worked muscles when going to the gym, but can also be some of the tightest. Have you ever wondered (often at music festivals) why so many of the muscular men have their shoulders further forward than their head? It’s because they forget to stretch their pecs, which can lead to shoulder, neck and back pain. A simple pectoral stretch (pictured below) held for 30 seconds can help fix this, and all you need is a door!
Mid/Lower back stretch
Lying on your side, bend your knee and hip to 90° and let your knee drop to the floor in front of you. Meanwhile, try to rotate your shoulders so they are both lying flat on the ground, and you are looking upwards. You should begin to feel a nice stretch through your middle to lower back.Some lucky people also feel a small stretch in their glutes, it be held for up to 1 minute.
