This easy stretch targets another group of muscles particularly vulnerable to tension and stress—the neck, back, and shoulders. Do it often—after strength training, and during any activity that makes you feel stiff, such as sitting at a desk or at a computer. You'll find it rejuvenating.

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, your knees straight but not locked, and your hands clasped in front of you.
  2. Rotate your hands so that your palms are facing the ground; then raise your arms to about chest height.
  3. Gently press your palms away from your body. You should feel a stretch in your neck and upper back and along your shoulders.
  4. Hold the stretch for a slow count of 20 to 30, breathing throughout.
  5. Release the stretch and repeat.

Make sure you:

  • Breathe throughout the stretch.
  • Don't curve your back or arch it.
