How this helps: It lengthens your spine, which improves posture, and increases comfort, mobility and range of motion. Many of us have a forward head posture.

How to do it: Look straight forward. Tuck your chin to align your ears over your shoulders. This will create a double chin if performed correctly. Hold this position for 10 seconds.
Relax and return to the starting position. Repeat 5 to 10 times.
