Video Transcript

"The next thing I want to talk to you about is chest lifts. For chest lifts you want to make sure you're in good posture. It's very very important for this move. Again, tail bone tucked under, chest is lifted, make sure those shoulders are back, and your chin should be up. For chest lifts you want to, from here from your rib cage, you want to lift. You want to throw your rib cage out to get that lift. And drop. Lift and drop. You might just get a tiny lift just at the beginning, it will work into a bigger stretch for yourself. So again, lifting from here, you want to think of it as something of a string here at your rib cage and pulling out and releasing. Pulling out and releasing, chest lift, up, down, up, down. Again, remember it's coming from the rib cage. Push the rib cage up and out and drop. Lift, drop, lift, drop, lift, drop, and again, just make sure that you are lifting from the rib cage here. Make sure you are keeping your shoulders level. Don't lift with your shoulders also. Just lift with the rib cage. Lift, drop, lift, drop, this is your chest lift."
