Hooklying Low Reach

The Hooklying Low Reach exercise aims to improve your breathing and strengthen your hamstrings and inner thighs. For this exercise, you will need a foam roller, a wall, or any object that you can use to elevate your feet.
We want you to keep your toes relaxed and maintain a good tuck with your pelvis. They also suggest progressing to holding your breath for three to five seconds after exhaling.

Will this help with anterior thorax expansion

[@IanMarkow]

@@Rokia2003 it could but it is better for lower posterior expansion. Do the core program 😉

[@kevinb7058]

Can I do it without the band on the T/L junction? That's where my pain is, on the left side

[@IanMarkow]

Yes you can. Although it might be even more beneficial to have a thin towel under the left back lower ribs as feedback. Try to feel that expand when you inhale

[@hellyeahman]

Would be much more helpful if you actually explained the purpose of the exercise

[@IanMarkow]

Thanks for watching. You can find more info in the caption under the video. We get the opposite feedback on a lot of our content where people don’t need a lot of explanation and just want to learn how to do it well.
TLDR: strength hamstrings and adductor while opening up back and side ribs with breath.
