Today we are going to restore some freedom to our chest and ribs. Short pecs and lack of movement of the ribs can negatively impact your breathing as well as your shoulder function. In order to give your chest a rest you are going get a Yoga Tune Up® Coregeous ball and lie down on top of it. With the ball right in the middle of sternum relax over the ball and try to shape yourself around the ball. Slowly start to roll over the ball and massage the chest. Try to pin and spin yourself over the ball too. Stay relaxed. Less is more with this technique.
Check in and check out with lying on your back breathing and also raising your arms overhead. Notice the quality of your breath and notice if your overhead position is improved.
The rules for the Ball Fucking Harder Challenge are easy. First, I recommend getting some Yoga Tune Up® balls to roll on. All you have to do is post a pic or video of yourself doing the technique and tag me (@coachpanda). Use the hashtags #ballfuckingharder #30daypandachallenge #supplepandas #pandiculation. The challenge is even better when you share it with friends so tag your friends to play along.
