THE WORLD'S GREATEST STRETCH

-

WHAT IT DOES “This stretch hits every part of the body,” Madi says. “It targets thoracic mobility [the middle part of your spine], so it’s a good counteract­ion to sitting in an upright position for long periods. I do this stretch every day, whether I’m playing sport or not.” HOW TO DO IT Get into a highplank position – as if you’re about to perform a push-up. Step your left foot up to the side of your left hand. Push your right hand into the ground and raise your left hand over your head, twisting your middle to open up your chest.

Bring your gaze to the extended fingertips of your left hand. Hold for 20 seconds then repeat on the other side.
