Shrugs

  • Place feet almost together.
  • Slightly bend knees.
  • Use as much resistance that you can maintain full control with.
  • Hold chest up and out.
  • Activate your T.V.A.
  • Maintain natural curve in lower back as you lean slightly forward.
  • Hold the resistance on a 45 degree angle or in front of you.
  • Exhale as you raise your shoulders straight up towards the back of your neck as high as possible and hold it there for about 3 seconds.
  • Inhale as you return down.
  • Do not lift towards your ears or rotate your shoulders in circles.
  • Lift and return from the shoulders, not from the hands.
