Stretch and Surrender: #7 Chin Tuck

Benefits: Stretches the back of the neck. Improves posture. Prevents progression of rounded shoulders ("dowager's hump").

METHOD: Sit comfortably in a straight backed chair with both feet flat on the floor. Keep shoulders down and relaxed. Hold your head upright. Draw your chin in toward your neck. To help guide your head back, lightly place two fingers on your chin. Return to neutral. Repeat 10 times.

Tip: This is an important stretch for people who spend a lot of time sitting at a desk.
