That exercise with the shoulders back I do it daily and it helps with my breasts' problem. My back really hurts.
9 Simple Exercises That Can Give You a Swanlike Neck
The neck is the first thing to give away a woman’s age because the skin in this area loses its firmness and elasticity faster than other body parts. Despite the fact that modern cosmetic technology offers a lot of options for skin lifting, thread lifting, and injections, most women prefer beauty fixes that don’t require surgery. Certain exercises promote the flow of oxygen and blood to the skin, increase collagen production, relieve muscle tension, sharpen the face, and lengthen the neck.
We at Bright Side work a lot while sitting, and we’ve tried out some exercises that help keep your neck beautiful. For the best results, do them every day.
