Five Quick Exercises to Correct Hunched Posture
Our necks, shoulders and back suffer as we bend over the keyboard and screen all day. If you are looking to correct your posture, these 30 second exercises can help you.
Mark Perry, CEO of BuiltLean, demonstrates the five exercises in the video above. These include:
- Chest stretch: Grasp the corner of the wall with one outstretched hand and lean forward. Hold for 30 seconds and repeat on the other side.
- Breast Compression: Massage your breasts with a tennis ball or massage ball.
- Upper Back Foam Rolling: Roll up and down your upper back. (Bonus: Here’s how to use a foam roller to massage your entire body .)
- Lying on your stomach stretch : Lie on the floor on your stomach and place your arms over your head in a Y shape, then lift your upper body and hold for 5-10 seconds.
- Rod narrow grip: expander wrap around the subject of sustainable and retract it inside. Do 15 reps.
Perry recommends doing three sets of each exercise, but even doing one can make you feel better. I do the first exercise almost every day, and it really helps relieve most of the tension that I constantly carry in my shoulders. If you only want to use the wall and don’t have these supports, we have shared three other exercises you can do to improve your posture.
