I have during the last two months found out
what I believe is the ultimate way to lift and stretch the sternum. It is a
light weight exercise that I have developed myself. I will call this
exercise “Sternum Lifter”. It activates the muscles in the upper body in two
opposite directions which will make the sternum to stretch and lift. I believe
that it’s best to do it right before going to sleep so that the muscles in the
upper back will get optimal rest during the night. How to do it?
Because this is a light weight exercise you
don’t have to buy dumbbells. I grabbed two rocks with a weight around 1.5 kg
each.
1.
Lie down on the back with the
arms along the side.
2.
Lift the upper body a few
centimeters at the same time as you lift the arms so that the rocks touch each
other as illustrated in the picture (not higher than the illustration shows).
3.
Repeat many times (10 reps,
2-3 sets).
