Chest Flexibility Test

To test the flexibility of your chest, follow these steps:

• Stand up tall with your back straight, your abdominals lifted, your shoulders down, and your arms at your sides.
• Inhale and bring your arms straight out in front of you at chest height.
• Exhale and open your arms to the side (palms facing forward) as far as you can without arching your back.
• Keep your shoulder blades down and stable.
• Make a note on your worksheet at what place on the clock your hands point.
• • 10:00 and 2:00 are tight.
• • 9:00 and 3:00 are a healthy range of motion.
• • 8:00 and 4:00 are very flexible.
