Generally, when we think of exercise, we mostly prioritize walking and abdominal exercises. Even when walking, swinging the arms has become significantly less common. As a result, the arms, neck, and shoulders receive very little movement.

Even when doing household chores, the arms mostly move forward. Lifting them above the head or bending them backward rarely happens.
It is due to this lack of proper exercise above the abdomen that, as we age, fat accumulation increases in the neck, back, armpits, and arms, and over time, the skin begins to sag. Due to the weight of this fat accumulation in the armpit and breast areas, the facial muscles are also pulled downwards. This greatly affects facial beauty, and an aged appearance develops prematurely.

Whichever part of the body remains immobile, that part ages. This is why pain in the fingers, joint pain, neck pain, and back pain occur even before old age.

To avoid this, it is essential to exercise the arms, shoulders, and neck.
Even while sitting in a chair, you can exercise your arms, neck, and shoulders. However, the spine must be kept straight.
After each arm exercise, you should do a neck exercise. By alternating between arm and neck exercises, you will not feel tired.

Each exercise should be performed with a number of repetitions adjusted to one's physical condition. It can be done twice a day. Start with at least 10 or 15 repetitions and then gradually increase the number.
When performing these exercises, not only do the muscles become toned, but heart health, lung health, and bone health also improve significantly. Heart blockages will not occur. Risks of heart attacks will be avoided. Problems like double chin and snoring will also be eliminated.

Exercises

1. Rotate your arms well. 1. The exercise should be done 10 counts forward and 10 counts backward. Then lower your arms.
2. Gently turn your neck to the right and left. This can be done 10 counts or more on each side.
3. Raise your arms high above your head and hold for about 20 counts. During this time, inhale and exhale deeply. Then slowly lower your arms. Doing this while standing with your feet together will be very beneficial.
4. Gently raise your head to look at the sky. Then slowly bring it down and try to touch the base of your neck with your chin. This can be done in a set number of counts. The spine should remain straight. The movement should be only in the neck. Inhale when looking up, and exhale when bringing the head down.
5. Raise your arms up and then bring them down. Inhale when raising your arms and exhale when lowering them.
6. Raise your head to look at the sky. While keeping your head raised,
gently turn it to the left. Then turn it to the right. Do this 10 or 15 times. Then slowly bring your head back to the normal position.
7. Extend both arms backward and then bring them together forward. Inhale when extending your arms and exhale when bringing them together forward.
8. Keep your head tilted upwards, looking at the sky, then open your mouth wide and then purse and close it. Do this 10 times.
9. With your arms raised, clench and unclench your fingers. You should feel pain in your fingers when clenching and unclinching them.
10. Straighten your head and bend it to the left side, then to the right side. 11. Raise your hands upwards and move your hips from side to side, as if dancing.

Such exercises can be done for the hands and neck as well. Just as food is essential for survival, exercises for the body are also very essential for life. If both are present, health will be excellent.
