An explosive lower-body move paired with a wall lat stretch – for anyone who wants leg power work and upper-body relief in one quick set.

Jump squats load and fire your legs with each rep, then the wall lat stretch shifts everything to recovery mode and opens up your back and shoulders. The swing from effort to release makes one minute feel balanced rather than one-sided.

Stretching after intense muscular effort takes advantage of increased blood flow and tissue temperature – research suggests post-exertion stretching can improve range of motion more effectively than stretching alone.
