Yulia Tatochko, a beautician-aesthetic, a specialist in self-massage of the face and a beauty expert, shared with us exercises to maintain a beautiful posture and neck health.
Watch our video on how to do all the exercises correctly:
We warm up the shoulder girdle. To do this, we make 5-10 circular movements with the shoulders forward, then repeat the same, only circular movements back. When performing this exercise, it is important to bring the shoulder blades well from behind.
Posture exercise. We close our hands in the lock behind our back and take them back. The abdomen should be tucked up, the tailbone forward, and the shoulders back, the head looking forward. Stay in this position for 15 seconds.
Stretching the muscles of the back. We bring our hands together in front of us and take ourselves by the elbows. We begin to round the back, thereby stretching the muscles. In this case, the stomach is tucked up, the head is lowered down between the hands. We stand like this for 5 seconds.
Exercise for the neck. In order to warm up the neck, it is necessary to put one hand on the side of the neck, move the head to the opposite side and begin to move the hand to the chin, chin to the hand. Thus, the lateral muscles of the neck are warmed up. Repeat 5-10 times on each side.
Stretching the lateral surfaces of the neck. We put our hand on our head, lower our shoulders down and reach with our ear to the opposite wall, not to the shoulder. We help with the upper hand, lightly pressing on the neck. In this position, linger for 5-10 seconds, and then repeat the same on the other side.
Stretching the back of the neck. We lower our head down, close our hands in the lock and put them in this position on the back of the head. Under the weight of the arms, the head itself will fall down and thus the muscles will stretch. We stand like this for 5-10 seconds.
Stretching the front of the neck. We put our hands on the chest, slightly pre-tension the tissues down, raise the chin up and look at the ceiling. After 5-10 seconds, we return to the starting position.
After completing these exercises, you will feel lightness in your body, how your shoulders turn, you want to keep your posture straight, and how your neck becomes beautiful.
