Empowering Exercise
Photography by: Ericka McConnell

chest = openness.
The connection: According to Taoism,
the heart carries your joys and the
lungs hold your sorrows. Building
chest muscles that are both strong
and flexible enhances your ability to
stay open to all that life brings.
The move: CHEST FLY.
Wrap a resistance band around your
back just below shoulder blades.
Holding an end of the band in each
hand, lie with knees bent and feet flat
on ground. Extend arms out to sides,
palms up and elbows slightly bent. (Continue to next image.)
