Fit Tip

We all do it!  Sitting at your desk all day, shoulders hunched, head jutted forward, scowl on your face and there is a name for why you feel the way you do after only a short time at the office:  upper-crossed syndrome.  By creating this environment for your muscles, imbalances in the neck, chest, shoulders, and back are occurring.
Try at YTA just at your desk a couple of times throughout the day to work out that kink. 

• Stand with feet hip-width apart.  Keep abs tight and bend at the waist slightly.
• Lift arms in front and just to the sides of body at a 45 degree angle, keep thumbs up, and squeeze your shoulder blades together (Y)
• Move arms straight out to sides keeping thumbs up (T)
• Lower arms to sides of body with thumbs up, retracting and depressing shoulder blades (A)

Move at a slow pace and repeat for two sets of 10 reps.
