What a difference they make in relieving tension and stress in the body/shoulders. I learned to do them from a rheumatologist some yrs back and now do them more and more....I can feel the energy going thru my body and the blood is circulating better in our bodies. Shrugs wake up my body as I make them a part of my morning routine of stretching and tapping that I do.

I do them during the day too, even if I do a few, I do them. Then can be done sitting down, laying down, walking... any position.

Be aware of how tight your body and shoulders are. :wave::cool:

And then realize how good you feel after doing a good series of shrugs.

Reminding on this again and while at it, the Vit D deficiency in our population and so much from NO sun, sitting for hours on end, day to day on the technology....Just talking about the D deficiency with some others on a health group and about depression and more and low low Vit D in bodies now.

I found how low I was in 2006 and have been on top of it.... I actually got on the internet in 2005...makes a lot of sense...

I find shoulder shrugs and circles etc. Wake Up my body. I do them as often as I think to and for sure after a night's sleep.
