Posture Reset – Upper Back
Many of us spend hours sitting, looking at screens, or training the muscles we see in the mirror.
But the muscles that keep us **upright and stable** often get neglected.
This simple **upper back activation routine** helps improve posture and support healthy shoulder movement.
**1. Prone Back Extension**
Hands behind the head. Gently lift the chest while keeping the neck neutral.
Activates the spinal extensors and upper back muscles.
**10–12 repetitions**
**2. Prone Y Raise**
Arms in a Y position, head stays on the floor. Lift the arms slightly and draw the shoulder blades down.
Targets the lower traps and improves scapular stability.
**10–12 repetitions**
**3. Prone Pull-Down**
Arms reach forward, then pull the elbows toward the torso while lifting the chest slightly.
Strengthens the upper back and improves shoulder blade control.
**10–12 repetitions**
Repeat **2–3 rounds** with slow, controlled movement.
Small movements. Big impact.
