Take a towel, hold it at both ends and bring it down over your head and behind your back. Move it up and down, and at a diagonal, and the other diagonal to stretch different parts of the shoulders and upper backs. It's pretty cool. (Another one is holding the towel, hands close together, behind the back, bending the neck, pushing the hands higher, then straightening the neck again, leaving the hands high behind your back. You could even do this with hands clasped if you're really stretchy.) Finally, nice easy one... stand arm's length away from a wall and with your back to it. Imagine the wall is a door. Someone is trying to get in through the door, but you must hold the door firmly shut with your hand whilst you are turned in the opposite direction addressing an audience within the room. This is really fun. I do it all the time, that and backward leg extensions are pretty much the only stretches I do regularly.
