If your shoulders feel stiff or you spend a lot of time hunched over a screen… this one's for you.
The standing toy soldier is a lovely rhythmic exercise that wakes up your shoulders and spine at the same time. It's deceptively simple but keeping a stable core while alternating those arms overhead is where the challenge is. A great one for shaking off that mid-afternoon slump.
💫 Benefits:
• Improves shoulder mobility and range of motion overhead
• Encourages upright posture and core stability
• Gently warms up the spine and upper body
• Improves coordination between arms and trunk
• Accessible for all fitness levels
Keep the arms long and the spine still, resist the urge to lean or shift as you lift.
