Rounded shoulders and mid back? Excessive “Kyphosis?” This exercise is 🔥🔥🔥. #Repost ・・・
Do you have rounded shoulders? 🚶😔 This is a beastly exercise for strengthening the mid back and shoulders. Stop stretching your shoulder and start doing some real strengthening exercises to improve range of motion! If you have rounded ⤵️upper body posture, this exercise WILL be difficult for you. Do anywhere from 1-20 reps SLOWLY and make sure you get a solid burn 🔥in the mid back. Use a PVC pipe, broom handle, or get some of these gangster @stickmobility sticks.🤙

This is not easy! If it is easy, make your grip on the stick more narrow! Cues for this exercise:
1️⃣Tuck your pelvis posterior🔄, squeezing the glutes 🍑and abs.
2️⃣Pull your ribs into the body. Don’t arch your back like a whale.🐋
3️⃣Pull your shoulders down⬇️ away from your ears👂 and hold them there.
4️⃣Keep the chin slightly tucked and retract the head straight back.
5️⃣Pull the stick back over your head, bend your elbows💪, and slowly pull the stick back behind you. Hold it there for a few seconds!⏱
6️⃣Try to keep the stick from touching your back!👇
7️⃣Try to pull the stick apart slightly↔️, creating a tug of war between the right and left arm. This may cause shaking🤝 and that is okay.

This exercise can also be done seated 👨💻or standing🕺. We like the bench or the floor because gravity👨🔬 works against you. =) Have fun!
