“One dead hang exercise a day keeps the joint pain away.”
Dead hanging isn’t as ominous as it sounds. It’s an exercise for stretching your spine and shoulder joints. You simply hang from a bar, allowing your body to relax and your muscles to stretch.
Why I Love IT
My daily routine has become more sedentary due to my job in IT, where I sit in my office for long hours. I’ve noticed my upper body getting tighter, and dead hanging has become helpful to avoid becoming a slouch with an upper back. This exercise has significantly relieved my shoulder pain that had dealing for six months. Who knew that just hanging around could make such a difference?
Now, I incorporate dead hangs into my routine several times a day. And guess what? My new motto is: “One dead hang exercise a day keeps the joint pain away.”
