It is an excellent way to rehab shoulders, reduce pain and tightness, or for a warmup before a more extensive workout. Step 1 – Begin by standing straight and chest bit outwards, straight spine, and engaged core. Pull your shoulders back and down. Look straight. Step 2 – To start the shoulder roll, shrug your shoulders up toward your ears as high as possible. Do this without bending your back, bulging your neck, or allowing your shoulders to collapse frontward. Step 3 – Once you shrug up as high as you can go, squeeze your shoulder blades together to pull your shoulders back. Step 4 – Involve your mid-back to pull your shoulders down. As you reach the initial position, slightly round your upper back to push your shoulders forward while maintaining a strong core. Repeat 10-12 times 3-5 sets in a row Once-daily 5 days a week
