Day 70: Water bottle posture cure

Posted by AccountingWEB on 482 printer friendly
Today is posture day at the AccountingWEB fitness factory. Fitness expert Cindy Whitmarsh recommends you grab a couple of (full) water bottles for this exercise. Remember to breathe!
 
Step 1: Sitting in your chair, bend over so your chest is lying on your lap.
Step 2: Keep your abs tight and your back as straight as you can get it.
Step 3: Hold a water bottle in each hand with your arms down towards the ground.
Step 4: Raise arms straight out laterally, keeping elbows slightly bent and leading with elbows. Contract your rear shoulder muscles and upper back.
Step 5: Return to starting position.
Step 6: Repeat 10/20 reps.
 
This exercise improves posture and strengthens rear deltoid and back!
