The Figure Fixer Workout: Part 4
Problem: Bending over a desk gives you rounded shoulders
Take breaks during the day to stretch your arm muscles. You can do this from a standing position without leaving your desk. Extend your arms behind your back at waist height with hands clasped. Slowly lift your arms upwards, while sticking your chest out. Hold for 30 seconds, as you become more flexible, you can hold for up to a minute. Lifting your arms higher as you stretch will mean you get a deeper stretch. Aim to stretch twice a day to start with.
Tip: Put five to 10 drops of camphorous oil, such as eucalyptus, into a bath to relax your muscles.
