Trainer Offers Five-Minute Workout to Boost Posture and Mobility

Upper-body workouts help build strength and make daily movements easier. They are important for activities like lifting, reaching, and pushing. Felicia Hernandez, a personal trainer at Eden Health Club, explains that these exercises improve shoulder movement and posture.

You do not need heavy weights or a gym to take care of your upper body. Hernandez offers a simple five-minute workout that you can do at home anytime. This mini workout keeps your arms strong and helps with daily tasks, like carrying groceries.

The workout includes five exercises, each lasting one minute. There’s no need to count the repetitions. Hernandez advises focusing on your form and breathing. If you feel rushed, slow down.

You can do this low-impact routine three to four times a week. You can use dumbbells or just your body weight for some exercises. The five exercises are: wall shoulder roll, wall push-up, alternating overhead reach and pull, lateral raise, and isometric biceps hold with pulse. Each exercise targets different muscles, helping you build endurance and strength.
