Shoulder Retraction
This is another exercise for resetting your shoulder position and posture. The good thing about this exercise is that it can be done anywhere, and does not require any equipment:
- Turn your hands palm outwards – slowly
- Try to squeeze your shoulder blades together, automatically bringing your shoulders backwards
- Keep your shoulders where they are but let the hands roll back into your sides
- Hold that position for 30 seconds
- Rest and repeat
