Here’s a stretch that will work to help increase the flexibility in your shoulders and chest.  Begin the stretch by standing straight inside a doorway.  Make sure that your knees are slightly bent and that your feet are a couple of feet apart and staggered.  Your abs should be tight throughout the exercise.  Bring your right arm up to make a 90 degree angle between your forearm and bicep.  Be sure that your bicep is now parallel to the ground and your other arm is at your side.  Lay the forearm of your right arm on the door frame and press forward.  Hold for 20 seconds.  Now switch arms and repeat.
