Instructions
1. Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms hanging by your sides.
2. Keep your arms straight, and without bending your elbows, raise your shoulders up towards your ears as high as you can.
3. Pause at the top of the movement for a second, contracting the trapezius muscles.
4. Slowly lower your shoulders back to the starting position.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Ensure to move only your shoulders up and down without using other parts of your body to assist in the movement, to maintain focus on the trapezius muscles. Keep the movement controlled, avoiding ballistic or jerky motions.
