    Here are the health benefits of shoulder shrugs, as shared by fitness expert Mukul Nagpaul.

    1. Strengthen the trapezius muscles

    Shoulder shrugs strengthen the trapezius muscles, improve shoulder stability, and enhance performance in upper body movements, such as lifting and pulling.

    2. Neck pain relief

    Shoulder shrugs can help relieve neck and shoulder pain by strengthening the supporting muscles around the neck and shoulder area, reducing discomfort caused by poor posture or tight muscles.

    3. Improve posture

    Performing shoulder shrugs regularly can help counteract the effects of prolonged sitting and hunching, helping to improve posture.

    4. Prevent the risk of injury

    Shoulder shrugs can strengthen the trapezius muscles, making them more flexible and resistant to injuries caused by strain or overuse, especially for those who participate in sports.

    5. Increase flexibility and reduce stress

    Shoulder shrugs can increase the range of motion of the shoulders, which is beneficial for everyday activities and sports. Additionally, this exercise can help reduce stress or fatigue, promoting relaxation and a sense of well-being.
