Walking Program Gravity Drop

Great question, and no worries at all if hanging is not an option for you. A solid substitute is a standing chest opener: step into a doorway, place both forearms on the frame at shoulder height, and gently lean your chest forward until you feel a stretch across the front of your shoulders and chest. Hold that for 20 to 30 seconds and focus on letting your head stack tall over your spine as you breathe. It hits a similar goal of opening the front body and encouraging that upright, relaxed alignment we are after in The Walking Program.
