  • If you want breasts that are well supported, do movements that build strength in support
  • Movements like pushups or hanging as a test of chest movement and strength 
  • How carrying babies and breastfeeding can lead to stiffness in the upper body
  • Why to work up to being able to hang by holding onto a bar for one whole minute each day
  • How to work better movement into the things you're already doing 
  • Ways to counteract too much single-position input like looking at a phone
