RMIT staff fitness which is your gym and I'm here to help you with your aches and pains you get through your

chest out. And as you're squeezing your shoulder blades together, you should be pulling them down towards your bottom as well and then
coming back in. You don't want to see you pulling them together and tightening up to the neck. So the important part about

you feel better. You can also do this if

you don't have a band, you can't get to one by just using your arms and holding that squeeze for five to 10 seconds.
