No, not downward dog — unstick tight shoulders with this quick and simple mobility exercise from a personal trainer

What if I told you that unsticking your shoulders doesn’t have to be complicated? This one-minute mobility exercise releases tight shoulders and triceps and helps open your spine.

You can perform this exercise as a standalone drill or as part of your warm-up mobility routine using one of the best yoga mats to support your knees. Over time, practicing movements like this will improve overhead function and overall motion — think exercises that involve shelving or pressing a load over your shoulders, like overhead presses or squats.
