Instructions for action: Hunch your shoulders upward as much as possible (the higher the better), and try to reach your ears with your shoulders! Hold for a second at the highest point, then slowly lower back to the starting position.

As you exhale, lift your shoulders upward and hold the contraction for 1-3 seconds. Keep your arms extended as you lift.
