The next thing I'm going to show you is called the V chest lift. Again, you just want to work on just the plain chest lift, lifting and dropping, lifting and dropping. Be conscious of your shoulders, lift and drop, lift and drop, again, just lifting from the ribcage. Now, to make the V, what we're going to do is we're going to be in the neutral position, make sure that chest is lifted. You don't want to be hunched over, so lift. What we're going to do is we're going to lift over to the side and we're going to drop, back center, and lift over to the side and drop. Essentially, it's almost like I'm going to be making a V or a U shape with my chest. So, again, this is center, lift over to the side, drop, and lift over to the side, drop. Lift and drop, lift and drop. Just be conscious of your shoulders, I have some students that will put their shoulders into it. You want to make sure you try to maintain them as much as possible. They will move a little bit as you're moving, but make sure you're not putting any extra movement into them. So, it's lift over to the side, drop, center, lift over to the side, drop center, lift, drop center, lift and drop center. Another thing to be conscious of is make sure that you are not moving your hips. So lift and drop, lift and drop, lift and drop.
