Here’s what muscles are involved in this movement:

This exercise doesn’t require any equipment – all you need is your body!
The goal of this movement is to both simultaneously mobilize the upper back and strengthen it.
 Are you stuck hunched over? Let’s go ahead and reverse that!
Well, not with just this one movement – and there’s nothing wrong with having classically bad posture when it comes to pain at least – function and aesthetics are a little different!
However, if you need help with a change of positions from your desk job, or whatever you do in your day-to-day life where you’re stuck looking down – try this pose!
