🌟 Hey friends over 60! 🌟
If you've noticed your shoulders creeping forward, that 'tech neck' hunch from years of reading, driving, or just life, or if your neck feels stiff and achy by the end of the day... this simple daily routine has been a game-changer for me (and many others our age!).
It's called Chin Tucks – a gentle, no-equipment-needed exercise that strengthens the deep neck muscles, pulls your head back into better alignment, and eases that nagging neck tension and upper back discomfort.
Best of all? It's super easy, safe, and you can do it almost anywhere – sitting at the table, watching TV, or even standing in the kitchen.
My quick routine:
Sit or stand tall with shoulders relaxed (think proud posture!). Look straight ahead.
Gently slide your chin straight back (like making a soft double chin) – don't tilt your head down or up, just glide it backward.
Hold for 3–5 seconds (feel the gentle stretch at the back of your neck and activation in the front).
Slowly release and relax.
Repeat 8–12 times.
Do this 2–3 times a day – maybe with your morning tea, afternoon rest, and evening wind-down.
After a week or two, many notice less neck stiffness, easier head turning, and that lovely feeling of standing/sitting taller without effort. It's helped my posture so much – I don't slouch as much anymore!
Give it a try and let me know how it feels after a few days. Who's with me? 💪😊
(Always check with your doctor or physio first if you have any neck issues or recent injuries – better safe than sorry!)
