It's Fitness Time !!!

Since many of us sit most of the day looking at our laptop, we can develop a forward head posture position. In this position, our chest muscles can become tight, while our back muscles can become lengthened and weak. Due to that, the suboccipital muscles in the back of our head can become tight.

To correct forward head posture, you will not only want to stretch your chest muscles and strengthen your back muscles, but also stretch your suboccipital muscles. When your suboccipital muscles are tight, this can contribute to your forward head posture.

A great exercise to stretch the suboccipital muscles is the chin tuck. The chin tuck exercise is simple to do and is effective for neck pain relief. To do the chin tuck exercise, first place your hand on your chest, then the top of a finger on your chin. Then bring your head straight back and hold for 3 seconds. Do this exercise 15 repetitions and do it once every few hours. This will be effective in stretching your suboccipital muscles and correcting bad posture.
