Body WeightBeginner

The 90 to 90 Press Stretch improves shoulder mobility and flexibility.

  1. Begin seated on the floor with your legs bent at 90 degrees.

  3. Gently press your chest forward while keeping your back straight.
  4. Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds, then relax.

How to perform the 90 to 90 Press Stretch

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the 90 to 90 Press Stretch using your body weight.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your primary working muscles.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your working muscles rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
