Purpose: Strengthens the rhomboid and serratus muscles, and corrects forward shoulders and instability in the shoulder joint.
Starting Position: Standing in a neutral position, with arms relaxed by sides.
Movement:

• From the starting position pull your shoulders back and down. Think about your shoulder blades moving inward as if you were trying to make them touch and downward to rest on the back side of your rib cage.
• Hold each for 2-3 seconds, and then return to starting position. Repeat for 3 sets of 12-15 repetitions.
