Building flexibility is just as crucial as strength training. A well-rounded fitness routine, like a psynetic method session, should blend resistance work with targeted stretches. The Fan Stretch deeply relaxes and lengthens the muscles along your body's sides, promoting better mobility and posture.
Stand tall with your gaze forward.
Position your feet about 1 meter apart, so your thighs form roughly right angles.
Extend your arms out to the sides until they're horizontal.
Stay in the frontal plane—imagine performing this against a wall, keeping full back contact.
Avoid overstraining your obliques to prevent injury.
Ascend very gently, using your support arm for leverage and your free arm to balance the effort.
Perform this stretch very slowly to fully relax and lengthen the muscles.
Hold for 20 breaths per side.
This exercise targets the obliques, latissimus dorsi, outer pectorals, and triceps, leaving you deeply relaxed and noticeably taller.
For beginners, place your support hand on your thigh.
To increase intensity, reach toward your calf or ankle.
