Instructions

Preparation: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms by your sides.

Starting Position: Raise your arms to the sides so that they are parallel to the ground with your palms facing backward. Your elbows should be slightly bent.

Action: Without changing the bend in your arms, squeeze your shoulder blades together as if trying to hold a pencil between them. This movement should engage the muscles in your upper back.

Hold: Hold the squeeze briefly for a second or two, then release slightly, not allowing your arms to drop completely, and repeat the squeeze.

Repetitions: Perform this squeezing and releasing action for a set number of repetitions or a specific time period.

Important Tips: Make sure to keep your head aligned with your spine and avoid shrugging your shoulders to your ears to maintain proper form.
