Chin Tuck (Posture and Strength)

Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor, or stand up. Relax your shoulders.
Look straight ahead. Gently glide your chin straight back. It’s a small movement. Don’t tilt your head up or down, or bend your neck forward.
Hold for 5 seconds. Then relax.
Repeat 5 times.
