3. Prone Scapula Squeeze (40-60sec x 3)
Level 1: shoulder blades squeeze together, hands stay on the floor
Level 2: hands lift - make sure the position of your shoulders remains the same as in Level 1 (squeezed & away from ears)
Level 3: lift your head up, this will increase the work of your back extensors. Make sure your core stays engaged and the engagement remains mainly in your upper torso between your shoulder blades.
Level 4: add weight to your hands
