How to do it

  1. Stand tall with both arms extended straight up overhead.
  2. Pull your elbows down and back until your arms form a W, squeezing your shoulder blades together as if pinching a pencil between them, then press the arms back up to the full overhead reach.
  3. Keep your ribs down and your torso still - the arms travel, the back squeezes, and nothing else volunteers.
  4. Desk shoulders, meet your antidote.
