Stay seated and push your chair back about five feet from your desk. Hold a medium-weight book in each hand and bend over at the waist until your chest touches your thighs. Let your hands, holding the books, dangle by your feet. Now raise your arms out to each side like you’re flying, pause briefly when they’re horizontal to the floor, and lower to the starting point. Breathe in as you raise the books and out as you lower them. Don’t stare at the floor as you do this exercise—look ahead with your neck in a relaxed position. Try one set of ten repetitions and increase to 15–20 reps.
Got Something More Advanced?
To make this exercise more difficult, either increase the number of repetitions, increase the number of sets or increase the weight. A good way to accomplish the latter is with a set of lightweight.
