Shoulder Rolls

  1. Sit up straight with your feet flat on the floor and hip-width apart, with your chin slightly tucked.
  2. Keep your arms relaxed. All motion will be in your shoulders.
  3. Roll your shoulders up, then back, then down, then forward in a smooth, circular motion.
  4. Then go the other direction. Press your shoulders down, then back, then up, and then forward in a smooth, circular motion.
  5. Repeat at least 2 to 4 times in each direction.
