We all want to fight that forward slump.  Gravity makes standing upright a full-time job.  Here are some moves to consider to try and ensure you stay tall.  The good news about all of these, is you can do them for 30-seconds each.  So set the timer on your phone. You don’t even have to count.  To help you remember the moves think MUTT (Mobility, Upper back, Tall, & Twist).

Maintain Mobility

Rib cage circles

Upper Back Strong

Back Pulses

Small Backward Circles

Back Bends with Hands Behind Head

Hands Interlocked Behind Back

Twist & Tall

Spinal Rotation

Sit Tall & Think of Space Between Your Vertebrae

 

Try to get in the habit of doing these moves as often as possible.
