You made me laugh throughout the video, and it was very informative too, subscribed and will follow these exercises like my life depend on it lol, thanks again
Really love the arm circles! I have had pretty severe posture problems with lots of headaches and neck pain because of an overly developed chest from too much bench press abuse as a teenager. I am learning slowly how the mechanics work in the body haha after much desperation. Once the chest muscles take over the upper back muscles turn off and the neck gets stiff. So miserable. I love the arm circles because it's so light weight...almost every corrective exercise for the rounded shoulders I have tried results in immediate neck pain because my neck tried to control all the movements. I feel like moving to heavier resistance is a long way down the road. Thank you for your help!
Thank you for uploading this video. I am also extremely appreciative in how simple your instructions are for each exercise. I knew for the longest time that I have had bad posture, but did not have the proper knowledge to correct it. Thanks to you and your videos, I do now.
Been lifting for 4 years with recently learning about my own posture and imbalances in the recent year, so cool how the simple arm circle is so good for the shoulders and that you can do them anywhere
Wow! These exercises can do miracles. I've always found it counterintuitive to buy into the idea that "easy does it", but this is a major exception. Rather than trying to correct the posture at the gym which can easily cause further muscle imbalance I'll recommend this approach instead. Thank you!
I've been having hard to breath deeply for a longtime and I've done many excercises to get help but after this videos exercises i can breath much better! Just wanted To say thanks.
I have been having shoulder/scapular issues & the bent over arm circles with thumbs down has targeted the problematic muscle because I can feel it like never before. Thank you- this exercise will strengthen it & hopefully end alot of discomfort I've been having.
Thank you. You have a soothing voice and i like that you are detailed in your instructions by showing the different angles and by giving alternatives. Yes, Dr. Seuss.
wow that one at 5:40 almost made me feel so good i felt sick.. does that make sense lol? nauseatingly good? So so so glad I found you. i can feel my shoulders and back muscles tensing while I type this.
I am literally in like my middle teen stages and I have a hunchback. since yesterday I have watched some of your videos on this and I don't know if it will work but I am going to give it a try and see what happens. hope to hear from you if you have anymore tips.
Watched few of your videos and I dunno why, but your voice is so soothing to hear and your exercise tips are really easy to follow! I became a fan of your explanation skill too. Obviously, subscribed! Btw, I thought of a variation to the first exercise where you can hold 2 nearly walls with your fingers and pull yourself. This gave my shoulders the maximum extension possible for me. But, this will work only when those 2 nearby walls have the wooden support 😅
I have 24/7 pain from my shoulders and neck. I'm super excited to start using the advice from your videos. And I'm super appreciative that you have these easily available videos. I'm going to start doing these exercises at work! (I work at KFC lol)
On the second one... One arm at a time can be better? Kind of isolating one arm/muscles at a time because when doing both at the same time could you could get a "bad" rythmic momentum in movement if you are kind of uneven in your shoulders?
Thank you for the videos Matt and they are very helpful. The second exercise I had problems with here and cause lumbar pain. The stance seem to put too much pressure on the lumbar. Can you recommend how to adjust it or am I doing something wrong since this happens? Many thanks again for all the videos
Ricky, you could potentially try a wider stance and do more of a partial squat when doing this one... Bend the knees and drop the butt just slightly while keeping the back straight until it feels more comfortable so it's not putting as much strain on your lower back...
It just means you don't know how to lean over properly. That's really typical... When you bend you've got to feel the tension building in your butt, in the rear of your legs, but absolutely not in your lumbar spine. Try searching "hip flexion" on the net, when you pick something on the ground you gotta work with your hips, not with your knees. Best of luck !
Thank you for this video. Would using an at home rower help? I'm 46 and my poor shoulder blades stick out and shoulders point forward. I noticed at an early age when I was cheering that I issues already standing up straight. My arms also don't straighten so I would have to invert them a bit in order to look straight to cheer. Now I have a significant curve in my lower back as pelvis sits back due to over compensation. I literally have to invert my arms out (Jesus arms) pull pelvis in with core tight in order to appear straight with shoulder blades not winging out in back. Ugh.
Great video! *** Would you be able to do a video doing the same exercises for kyphosis/rounded shoulders, etc. but focusing on how to keep the head tucked back while doing them, since most people with this posture have a head-forward carriage. I find sometimes, people will do these exercises, but their head is still a foot in front of their shoulders...lol. They forget to line up the head with the shoulders while doing other exercises...that would be greatly appreciated!
Than you so much. after my hip replacement n tad more healing. CAZ god has been good to. Me. Just tad 2 weeks in I'm walking my dog last 4 days so im Gina keep improving my life and body
I work out 3 to 4 days a week and when I do Pec Dec and butterfly bench the front of my shoulder buy my pecs hurt very bad. What could I do to help that. I have been working out since February and it seems to be getting worse not better. Thank you for your time
All of these exercises are so hard to do alone cause I can never see if I'm doing it right. I've tried mirrors and phones but it always looks wrong (even when it probably isn't).
I always put my phone on the floor next to me to see if I'm doing right . you do that too just put an object there to support your phone open the camera put it on selfiie and angle the phone the way you want
I’m doing mine in Hawaii. I have old injuries to both my left and right clavicle. Making my rounded shoulders worse. Any tips? Or is this the place to start? Thank you
This seems like the place to start. I have been battling the rounded shoulders for many years and every other exercise I find is too extreme on the body to handle if you have badly rounded shoulders.
I have a question about the 2nd exercise. What if the back of my neck begins to hurt while doing this exercise? (I’m not sure if it is the working hard type of pain or bad type of pain). I made sure that my neck was in line with my upper back, but after doing the exercise for about 30 circles, it began to cause some pain where the base of the neck and the shoulders/upper back meet.
My shoulder muscles pain when I exercise them to correct my rounded shoulder....and thus I go off exercises again and my correction never really happens...could you please suggest what to do?
It would be the opposite of strengthening your back. It would be strengthening your chest. (Push-ups / Bench Press / Dips etc.) These would pull your shoulders forward and decrease back "flatness"
I am doing these regularly and getting stronger from the shoulder Fix, but I am getting very painfull in the top and back of the shoulder. I am not sure what to do now.
I would try them in a box I would try them with a fox I would try them here or there I would try them everywhere that’s the sort of man I am I am Sam Sam, I am.
10 minutes of constant attention, memorizing, absorbing & processing every sentence, after sentence, fighting the constant urge to go do something else, I think 5 minutes would be much more appropriate.

NO NEED FOR KNOB AS ARM ROTATION..
Thanks so much! I’ll be doing these in Connecticut. Have a great day!
Thank you so much ….. will try these for sure
Can you tell , which exercises should we avoid (who have hunchback)??
Thank you for your help!

Love you! (Professionally) 😉
when will you see results? I call it kyphosis! I have to admit you are good!
But Matt, what if I don't have a floor?
Oh, you have a floor alright. What you don't have is a brain :0

I really need to know those host exercises you speak of, my posture is in dire need of correction yo, so thanks for any help,
I’m doing mine in Hawaii.

I have A thoracic kyphosis, what is recommended sleeping position , i am an elderly with spine problem due degerative disrases..
What to do if my right side is weaker than my left side. Of my waistline
Thank you!!! I’m Canadian living in Bali for 22 years scrunched over a computer!

Love the Dr. Seuss reference. 😂
Hello from Chicago.
Do you have to be lifting the toes as you go back?
Does this work to fix the appearance of rounded shoulders
Your hairstyle and attire reminds me of Suho from Snowdrop drama.
My shoulder muscles pain when I exercise them to correct my rounded shoulder....and thus I go off exercises again and my correction never really happens...could you please suggest what to do?
I know this is odd case but do you have any exercise and stretching recommendations for a lack of thoracic kyphosis (flat back)?
It would be the opposite of strengthening your back. It would be strengthening your chest. (Push-ups / Bench Press / Dips etc.) These would pull your shoulders forward and decrease back "flatness"
sir, if I have hunchback posture and anterior pelvic tilt, what should I target first at correcting
Ditto
If I do 100 reps of the second 1 each day how long will it take for my shoulders to be noticeably further back
How wide the wall can be? I have square pillar (cuboid type) which is one feet by one feet.
Dr. Seuss reference is from Green Eggs and Ham: amzn.to/2u2dzoV
But could I do these in the rain? Could I do them on a train?
😂😂😂😂
God bless you
thanks guys
you're welcome!
I bought eye glasses just for this exercise and now My doorway and glasses are broken
I am doing these regularly and getting stronger from the shoulder Fix, but I am getting very painfull in the top and back of the shoulder. I am not sure what to do now.
Have a rest..and then try again later.
My shoulders are doing that because they are far more strong and big than my other body how can I fix that?
Will this help if you have hunchback?
Yes
Does this actually work?
How about holding weights with the arm rotation?
No
Bradford UK
How do you do, youtube
I have that super sexy internally rotated femur and laterally rotated foot that everyone's been talking about that one summer.
I hear walking duck footed is all the rage this year.
Could Chin ups help?
Yes
I would try them
in a box
I would try them
with a fox
I would try them
here or there
I would try them
everywhere
that’s the sort of
man I am
I am Sam
Sam, I am.
This just strengtnen the muscles. It doesn't improve posture/ rounded shoulders...especially if the bones stick forwards
ugh. he is gorgeous
JESUS/YESHUA/LIVING WORD
10 minutes of constant attention, memorizing, absorbing & processing every sentence, after sentence, fighting the constant urge to go do something else, I think 5 minutes would be much more appropriate.
Umm...Dr. Seuss is not a real doctor.
Hahahaha
Good exercises. Way too much talking & explaining.
Good video except you waste way too much time talking.
