This stretch should be mandatory for people who sit at desks.
It's called a T-Spine Extension.
As we get older or if we sit for long periods of time our thoracic spine becomes less mobile. This can cause neck, shoulder, and lower back pain as well as a hunched over croissant type of posture with the body.
The T-spine extension helps you stretch your lats and upper back to reverse age or sitting related mobility issues.
How to do it:
1. Make sure you're in full elbow flexion in the bottom position.
2. Make a double chin so that you don't drift into forward head posture.
3. As you rock back, brace your core and focus on extending through the upper back and flexing through the shoulders, rather than just arching the lower back.
Do this for 6-12 reps daily. Your back will thank you.
@jeremybrier I recently survived two young children being brought to a classical piano concert who strangely enough became bored and restless and started ripping up the paper they’d been given for colouring. In the row behind me, of course.
@antonycourtney@leahmcelrath I just cried and cried during this one. Took me by surprise. To think of the number of times he must have sung it and still managed to find something new. (He and I are about the same age.) thanks so much for sharing.
For women, singing is forbidden in Iran. This woman is bravely singing in one of Esfahan’s most historical mosques. When the security agent tried to stop her, she resisted and continued. Brave Iranian women like her will some day bring down this most anti-woman regime.

@weekly_herald An interesting list but does sound and make easy mistakes in the same way as ChatGPT e.g. ‘Laura’ did not win Best Director 1944. More attention to detail please, Erika and team.
