Movement

Wall Angels

For the shoulders and upper back after a day at a desk.

Wall Angels, standing position

30s hold · standing

Slide your arms slowly. Head, shoulders, and lower back touching the wall.

  1. Stand with your back against a wall, feet a small step away from it.
  2. Press your low back, shoulders, and head gently into the wall.
  3. Bend your elbows and rest your arms on the wall, like a goalpost.
  4. Slide your arms slowly up and back down, keeping them against the wall.

Tips: Slow beats big. A small slide that stays on the wall does the work. Keep your ribs down. The low back stays close to the wall as the arms rise.

Easier: Let the wrists hover off the wall if they will not reach. Elbows stay. Lie on your back and do the same slide along the floor.
