- Shrug your shoulders. Stand up or sit. Hunch your shoulders up around your ears and tighten the muscles as much as possible. Let them drop and relax. Repeat.
- Stretch Up and Overhead. While sitting in a chair, bring your arms overhead, holding them straight with fingertips pointing toward the ceiling. Elbows shouldn’t be locked. Reach skyward with your right hand and then with your left hand. You should feel the stretch, but nothing should hurt. Breathe comfortably throughout.
- Swing Your Arms. Stand up. Let your arms hang loose at your sides. Lean forward slightly and swing your arms back and forth and from side to side across your chest. Stop swinging. Relax and breathe deeply.
- Walk. Go out for a walk, but leave your purse behind; if you carry a bag, you might throw your body off balance. Walk briskly but don’t race. Hurrying may make you lean forward unconsciously, creating tension in the curve of your shoulders. Throw your shoulders back, expand your chest area, and breathe deeply.
