If you have a tight or sore upper back and work at a desk most of your day, try out this exercise 💪🏻
- Y W T L -
✨Y: Start with your arms straight up in a Y shape and thumbs facing back, then push your shoulders inwards and hold for 5 seconds. Repeating a few times. We are not focusing on our arms and moving our arms, we are looking at our shoulders and back!
✨W: Same thing as above, but having your elbows bent and doing a W with your arms. Think as if you’re pushing your shoulders together and holding a pencil between your shoulder blades. Hold and repeat a few times!
✨T: Now you’ll move your arms straight across like a T shape, with your palms flat and straight up. Thumbs still facing back! Keep that focus on your back and pushing your shoulder blades together!!
✨L: Tuck your elbows and upper arm into your sides, with your upper arm out and up but keeping your palms facing upwards! Then slowly rotate and push shoulder blades together.
These will keep you functioning and moving properly to maintain a nice posture!💙
Try this out after you get home from work and relieve that back and neck tension!
