Pectoral, anterior deltoid release, 💗 opening option 💙.
This option supports releasing - "stretching" pectoral, biceps and anterior deltoid muscles & fascia. By shifting angles of the torso and arms relative to what we are gripping, varied areas of muscles & fascia can be emphasized.
Tight pectorals ( chest ) muscles, and anterior deltoids to an extent, are fairly common. Partly due to how often people round chest, shoulders & neck forward, looking at computers, phones, driving, picking up & cradling babies & animals, slouching, reading, etc.. That shortens & tightens pectorals - chest region.
Which perpetuates the rounding forward postural strain created as weight shifts off-center forward of spine central equilibrium line.
That also somewhat compresses the thoracic - ribcage & heart area, diminishing breathing capacity. Along with contributing to excess tension, strain & pain in neck, back & hips as they overextended and tighten trying to maintain semi-upright posture.
Opening the anterior torso - chest region helps deepen and smooth our breathing, opens our heart 💗 center, helps relax more deeply into natural equilibrium - alignment and grounding, and supports greater comfort & ease in neck, back, hips and whole kinetic chain.

Back & postural strengthening options using resistance band.
Back & postural strengthening options using resistance band 💙 ☯️ Strengthening spinal erectors, lats, trapezius, teres major, gluteus, guads... using a resistance band. ☯️💙
Option with variations for helping correct & preventing forward hunching & rounding of chest, shoulders & back which contributes to hip, back & neck pain & postural imbalances. Such forward caving of chest, torso & head , rounding of back, commonly occurs when sitting, looking at computers, phones, kids, etc...especially when done for extended periods of time.
Strengthening rhomboids, traps, lats, glutes...& opening anterior chest & torso helps bring body back into central equilibrium - alignment.
Thereby using less energy to maintain optimum alignment when standing, sitting and moving.
And allowing lungs to expand & release more freely, deepening breathing and increasing oxygen intake. By looping band over wrists & relaxing hands, the rhomboids, traps & lats can be more directly utilized.
Arching torso backward a bit from ground up through body provides some change for fascia - alignment to as a counterbalance to forward rounding patterns.

Releasing lats, traps, intercostals option 💙☯️.
Among additional benefits, releasing the lats, traps and intercostal muscles & fascia facilitates easier, deeper breathing as the rib cage expands and contracts more freely.
Releasing lats & traps can also help reduce or prevent some issues of hip, shoulder & neck pain and headaches caused by over contraction in the origins and attachments & connected fascia.
