Everyone needs to do this exercise!
The advent of cell phones and tablets has wreaked havoc on our bodies.
We now spend hours each day
with our head jutting out,
our upper back hunched,
and our shoulders rolling forward.
We all need to learn how to
actively reengage our postural muscles
to pull our bodies back in alignment.
