Triceps Stretch (Chest & Arm) 

One of the major benefits of Stretching is that it improves your flexibility. Regular Stretching can help retain your flexibility and a good range of motion when you grow old, not only for exercising but for your daily activities as well. While Stretching may appear a bit bland as compared with resistance exercises such as Training with Free Weights and Weight Training Exercises, without a good stretch, all your hard work at the gym will be in vain.

Like the shoulders, the triceps brachii muscles, commonly known as triceps, are also a three-headed muscle complex. The triceps are the muscles that run on the backside of your upper arm from your shoulder to your elbow. They constitute two-thirds of your upper arm. These muscles straighten your elbows and allow you to push your arms forward.

Strengthen your triceps by doing the Triceps Stretch regularly. Learn how to do this exercise in this section:

Chest Stretch (Chest & Arm) 

One of the major benefits of Stretching is that it increases your flexibility. While Stretching may appear a bit bland as compared with resistance exercises such as Training with Free Weights and Weight Training Exercises, without a good stretch, you will not be able to minimize the risk of injury.

The chest is made up of pectoral muscles - major and minor. The pectoralis major covers the front of the upper chest and is attached to the upper arm. This muscle is responsible for major arm movements such as flexion, rotation, and adduction towards the body. Strengthen your pectoral muscles by doing exercises that target those muscles. The Chest Stretch is one of those exercises.
