► INSTRUCTIONS:
5 Thoracic Mobility Exercises
Timed Intervals (40 seconds of work, followed by a 20 second transition between moves)
Repeat All 5 Exercises x1 Set, No Repeats
NOTE: I'll cue this in the video, but it's so important to ACTIVELY keep your body from tensing up as you hold each stretch. Focus on breathing into each stretching exercise, and think about "releasing" the tension in each muscle group to avoid clenching up.
