Standing scapular squeeze

  • Duration: 5 min
  • Level: Beginner
  • Goal track: Weight loss

Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and let your arms hang relaxed by your sides, elbows slightly bent. Without moving your arms, squeeze your shoulder blades together and down as if trying to hold a pencil between them, keeping your shoulders away from your ears. Hold the squeeze for 2 to 3 seconds, then release with control. Do 2 sets of 10 to 12 repetitions.
