Neck Rotation
Many people with poor posture tend to have poor neck positioning and strength. Work on this by leaning your head back and trying to touch your left ear to your left shoulder blade. Rotate your neck until your right ear is close to your right shoulder blade. Repeat this exercise 10 times.
Exercise Ball Stretch
Lay down with your head and neck on an exercise ball and your feet on the ground. Roll forward while keeping your balance until your back is over the middle of the ball. Roll back to your original position and repeat 10 times.
Shoulder Shrugs
Take 5-lb. weights in each hand and hold them down at your sides. Shrug your shoulders up and hold the position for 5 seconds. Slowly release and return your weights to the original position. Repeat this exercise 10 times. Take a 1-minute break and do another set.
