Raise your arms into a Y, squeeze shoulder blades back 10x.
Move into a T, squeeze 10x.
Then into a W, squeeze 10x.
This activates the stabilizing muscles that support your upper back and improve posture. ๐

Stand with your back to a wall. Raise your arms until your sternum starts to lift, then lower slightly. Push the upper back flat into the wall and hold 5 seconds. Repeat. This improves shoulder motion and prevents that forward-rolled posture that strains the upper back. ๐งฑโก๏ธ๐ฅ

Instead of pushing your head straight back, press upward and backward at an angle. Hold 5 seconds, repeat 3 sets of 5. This helps bring the head back over the body โ a major factor in upper back tension. ๐ง โก๏ธ๐
