How to Workout at Work: Upper Back Extension

We don’t all have the ability to exercise at our desks, but Pilates can be done ANY WHERE! Here’s a quick exercise to strengthen your upper back to help with your posture throughout the day.

1. 1. Sit up tall, lengthen your lower back
   2. Engage your abs & lift your chest
   3. Press your hands on your desk
   4. Peel your shoulders open
   5. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and down
   6. Inhale, lift your chest
   7. Breathe & hold for 15 seconds

If you feel your mid to upper back engage, you’re doing it right!

Complete 3 reps of 15 seconds each, be grateful for Pilates AND proud of yourself for using your time wisely!
