Scapular Shrugs
Description
Begin on all fours on the floor, ensuring your hands are directly under your shoulders and knees under your hips. Keep your arms straight and engage your core. Without bending your elbows, squeeze your shoulder blades together, lifting your chest slightly, then release to return to the starting position. This movement focuses on the scapular muscles, enhancing shoulder stability and posture.
