Something I’ve noticed in my workout classes is that almost everyone ends up hunching their shoulders when they are lifting weights, doing cardio, or even just stretching. While lifting weights, we are either unaware that our shoulders are rounding forward and hunching up towards our ears, or we are lifting too much weight and sacrificing proper form. While doing cardio, we often pay so much attention to our limbs that are moving and sacrifice our posture. While stretching and relaxing, the tops of the shoulders tend to make their way up towards the ears, regardless of if we are bending over or lifting our arms straight up. So wherever we are, whatever workout we’re doing, let’s try to pay attention to our hunched shoulders while exercising, and try to relax the shoulders while still getting a great workout.
