How to make Chest Stretch easier
If you are unable to interlace your hands behind your back, you can use a towel or a belt and hold it with both hands behind your back. As you flexibility improves you will be able to hold it with your hands closer and closer to each other until you will be able to interlace your fingers and no longer require the towel / belt.
