do you have bad posture like this well if you do it's probably because your muscles are really tight and they're pulling you into this position and guess what if you don't get out of this position and keep reminding your body to improve your posture every day this is going to get worse and worse and eventually you end up getting stuck so today I want to show you three different ways that you can quickly correct your posture and you can do these throughout the day it doesn't have to be a long yoga class to open up your shoulders and your chest and your upper back it can just be these these three simple moves done once per day to actually help you strengthen and tone the right muscles and stretch and loosen the right muscles that will help you improve your posture so first let's talk about what muscles those are okay so when someone has bad posture what ends up happening is these muscles right here the shoulders the chest muscles all these muscles start to curl inward like this creating tightness okay and this tightness means these muscles over time get shorter and shorter and stuck in this position so we lose the ability to open our chest like this additionally these muscles right here between the shoulder blades instead of having tone and pulling themselves back in together they get longer and longer and longer and they get stuck in what's called a long tight position meaning that they're stretched out and they have a hard time Contracting so the moves I'm going to teach you are going to help you stretch these muscles right here and strengthen and reactivate these muscles right here so you can actually improve your posture and have have it carry with you for the rest of the day so the first thing we're going to focus on is stretching these muscles right here especially the chest muscles with a simple stretch called the doorway stretch all right so what you're going to do is find any doorway in your house and ideally you pick a doorway that you designate for your doorway stretch okay what you're going to do is this thumbs up and pointed backwards almost like we're hitchhiking like this bring your elbows in line with your shoulders or even slightly higher and then from there we're going to open our chest and allow our body to start coming through the door now what you should start to feel is a stretch coming from your shoulder and into your chest like this you can play around with the height of the elbows going higher or going lower if you need to to find the position that feels like the best stretch for you and for some people it can be hard to feel the stretch in this position so if you need to you don't have to do both arms at the same time instead you can just put one arm up there and look your body away from it and start practicing and playing around with the height of the elbow relative to the shoulder so you can find the position where you feel the deepest stretch coming through your chest muscles now the more frequently you do this throughout the day coming into the door taking a couple deep breaths and then going and maybe one more time and letting the arms come back opening the chest as much as possible the quicker you're going to loosen these muscles up and the sooner you will be able to improve your posture so make sure the doorway stretch is something that you do every single day ideally multiple times a day every time you walk through this door now the next thing we want to do is we want to focus on strengthening the muscles but between the shoulder blades and these external rotators that open the shoulder like this I'll show you my favorite way to do this I'm going to show you three different steps just to make sure that everyone has something that they can do just in case you have things like rotator cuff issues or shoulder pain right now the first step is for complete beginners what you're going to do is drop your elbows towards your ribs like this and put your palms toward the sky from there sit nice and tall and what you're going to do is rotate your thumbs backwards as far as you can until you fill those muscles in between your shoulder blades and on the back of your shoulders squeezing together hold that squeeze for a second and then come back forward and you're just going to do this for one minute at least once a day maybe twice a day as well just to activate those muscles and get those muscles feeling what they're supposed to be doing throughout the day to improve your posture now if this is easy for you and your shoulders feel healthy then all we have to do is lift the elbows to a 45° position to make this a little bit more challenging in this position we're going to do the same thing shoulders stay down and away from our ears and we're going to rotate the thumbs backwards as far as we can and this time you'll typically feel a little bit more in the backs of the shoulders and even the lat muscles underneath the armpits as you rotate your thumbs backwards and then come back forwards just a little bit and then repeat this process again for one minute at least once a day but ideally twice a day okay now if that still feels good to your shoulders and you want to activate those muscles even more and make this more challenging lift the elbows in alignment with your shoulders like this again not shrugging your shoulders up like this but keeping the shoulders back back and down and then rotating the thumbs backwards like this as far as we can to feel those same muscles firing in between our shoulder blades squeeze them for just a second or so and then come back forward and repeat again for at least one minute once or twice a day and the whole time we're practicing this by the way we don't want to have bad posture while we're doing it like this with our shoulders up and our our head rounded forward like this so think about lifting your head towards the ceiling pushing your jaw back almost like your face is a drawer and you're trying to close the drawer and then you're doing your rotations whether they're up here or down here all in that same position okay now the last thing and this is one of my absolute favorites I'm going to show you how to do this all throughout the house okay is to stretch your shoulders by simply putting your hands behind your back and lifting your chest toward the sky and this is one of my favorite stretches in the world because it only takes about 10 seconds to complete and you can do this anytime anywhere to feel better in your body almost instantly so here's a starting point I'm sitting in a chair right now I'm going to scoot my butt forward in the chair and the first thing I could do is I could put my fingertips behind me backwards like this I could open my chest and lift my chest toward the sky and squeeze my shoulder blades together now I'm stretching the shoulders and the chest muscles and strengthening the muscles in between my shoulder blades at the same time hold for 10 seconds and then come back down and relax but maybe I'm in a standing position and I'm standing in line waiting at the grocery store or the bank or something like that well guess what I can clasp my hands together just like this I can open my chest and I can lift my chest toward the sky while squeezing my shoulder blades together and don't worry if you can't clasp your hands behind your back you can just put your hands on the outsides of your hips and pull your shoulder blades back and your elbows back towards each other almost like you're trying to pinch something between your elbows as you're doing this movement so doing this right here can offer you the same exact thing and then as you get more flexible you can even start to lift your arms higher and higher behind your back as you're lifting your chest toward the sky to increase the flexibility that you have in your shoulders and ultimately improve your posture making everything feel so much better so there you have it three simple stretches you can do every day throughout your day that will easily improve your posture and make you feel so much better in your body thanks for watching and just a recap here's the three things you should do every day to quickly improve your posture thumbs up and pointed backwards almost like we're hitchhiking like this bring your elbows in line with your shoulders or even slightly higher and then from there we're going to open our chest and allow our body to start coming through the door now what you should start to feel is a stretch coming from your shoulder and into

you'll typically feel a little bit more in the backs of the shoulders and even the lat muscles underneath the armpits as you rotate your thumbs backwards and then come back forward just a little bit

Awesome video !
I have bad posture & I love this! 😊
Wow! I'm so glad your channel popped up on my Recommendations, I've subscribed. This is by far, the best channel for those of us over 60. As an Educator I appreciate the mix of anatomical explanation and differentiated movements in short ( not "shorts"!) sequences. Thank you so much for posting these. Steph ❤
I watched this video around three weeks ago, and I’ve been doing just the door way stretch since then. I’m here to report that it’s working and I’m already seeing results
I do 3 sets every morning, and another 2 or 3 sets at night if I don’t forget
This is super helpful, simple and so well explained
thank you very much
6:47
Thanku sir
That was actually REALLY GOOD! Well done!
That was actually REALLY GOOD! Well done!
I do that last stretch first thing after getting out of bed. I also tip my head to both sides while doing the stretch, and get an audible pop on both sides usually. Sometimes it's only one side. I then do the door stretch upon entering the bathroom, followed by a 30-second body hang from the bar above my door. This has made a huge difference in how my body feels for the upcoming day. Been doing this religiously for the past year.
You are the BEST
Thanks for the exercises.
I’ve been a triple D since middle school. Fast forward 35 years and my posture is terrible!! I’m doing everything I can to fix it but it’s very painful when I don’t slouch.
Thank you 🥰
excellent, feeling better already
Thanks on your simple and light exercises to develop chest and to loose back bendness.
Just followed this video and got relief from a rhomboid spasm immediately! Thank you!
I have terrible pain on shoulders and arms…is it ok for me???Thank you…
Just got a few ring cameras, and now I see my bad posture!! So I am seeking to stand up straighter! These will help! 😊
Amazing, simple and doable..
Nice🎉❤thanks 🇵🇭
Excellent. Needed these 35 years ago!
Good advice and no bs.thankx
Love these exercises that don't require equipment!
Thank you for this video.
This guys shoulders only look normal around the 4:29-minute mark, when he shows the perforated blue line and he apparently lifts his upper body (or whatever) but otherwise his shoulders are naturally hanging down at a 45 degree angle it seems, and btw, many guys have that weird build…any idea why…???
Great Instructions 👍 😊❤
Such simple moves yet really effective! Thank you for sharing.
I like this one and these exercises as I'm old and have problem with some other ones. Many of these videos should really have clarification on its appropriateness by age.
