If you sit at a desk, scroll on a phone, or drive long distances, you’re not alone. Most of us live in a forward-flexed position for hours, which is why rounded shoulders and upper-back discomfort are so common now.
This move helps because it trains your body to hold better alignment. The squat works your lower body, while the overhead V challenges your upper back and shoulders to stay active instead of collapsing forward.
A few things that matter:
– don’t drop your chest in the squat
– lift your arms only as high as posture stays tall
– move slowly so your upper back stays engaged the entire time
If it feels harder than it looks, that’s normal. These muscles don’t get much attention in everyday life anymore.
This combo is part of the workout named Gina, one of the workouts inside Fit by Coach Kel, where we train strength that supports real life — not just workouts.
Save this if your phone or desk posture is catching up to you.
...
