I've been doing this 1-minute mobility exercise for over 5 years, and it quickly reduces tension in my spine and shoulders

A woman doing a low lunge on a mat.

As a proud member of the stiff shoulders gang, I can relate to how painful it is to have a limited range of motion in your shoulders and tension in your upper body. Hunching, weak core muscles, tech neck...they all take a beating on posture over time, but you can make some big improvements with this 60-second mobility exercise.

You don't need any equipment, but optional extras include a set of light dumbbells and perhaps one of the best yoga mats to protect your knees, as you will be holding a lunge position. I also recommend performing this near a wall, and you'll find out why.
