Feeling stiff in the upper body is a royal pain. It can creep into your work day and even spoil your downtime when all you want is to kick back and relax, but instead you feel all locked up. While I can't hand you a chiropractor on demand, I can share a Pilates routine designed to reset posture and awaken your back.
Before you write this off, I am not asking you to sign up for a 45-minute class. This routine from Paola Pilates takes you through just seven exercises, so it will not eat into your schedule. Better still, you don't need to travel to a studio. It's designed to be done at home with nothing more than a mat. If you're in the market for one, we can point you to our tried-and-tested guide to the best yoga mats.
