    If you work from home, try working while standing up for one hour each day if you're able to. You can place your computer on a tall filing cabinet or other high, flat surface in your office.

    The simplest ones are a dumbbell row, suspension training, and proper push-ups. If you're strong enough, you can also do chin-ups, but don't push it if you're not ready, because there's a real risk of injury if you do them incorrectly.

    A push-up is a moving plank, so start by getting a perfect plank form. Then, use your upper body to raise and lower your body, making sure you push all the way up so your scapula muscle is protracted. Also, I like using push-up handles for the perfect push-up because you can rotate your hands.
