Workout Notes


This workout is all about working on your pulling muscles! Pulling muscles are incredibly important, but doubly so if you are someone who is chronically in a seated/hunched position like driving, texting, computing, etc. We need the muscles on the back side of your body to be strong and functional so they can pull you into better posture!


There are many options today, but no matter which you choose, remember that the focal points are always the same: shoulders back and down, no tension in the neck, and full range of motion! Here are some ideas that you could try singularly, or mixing and matching, and/or adding a slow tempo to in order to make each set a challenge:



If you are out of options, there are many wacky (but powerful!) hacks that allow you to get some pulling in around the house. Check out this video for inspiration. Just be careful!
