your head so that your ear lobes are directly
over the center of your shoulders. Keep your
shoulders slightly back as if you are slightly
pinching them together and keep your feet
apart as wide as your hips. Shrug shoulders
up toward the ceiling and backwards trying to
pinch your shoulder blades together. Hold for
3 seconds. Relax, then repeat 10-15 times. Do
