A 1-minute posture and mobility pair for your neck and shoulders – great for anyone who feels locked up from sitting and needs a reset they can do at their desk.

Chin tucks realign your head over your spine, addressing the forward pull that builds quietly over hours of screen work. Then raising your hands overhead takes that correction further, stretching through the shoulders and upper back while encouraging your thoracic spine to extend. The two moves connect well – you set your neck right, then open up everything below it.

Research on overhead reaching exercises shows they can improve shoulder range of motion and reduce the stiffness associated with prolonged static postures – a useful countermeasure for the frozen-shoulder feeling that desk work tends to produce.
