Good posture is important to your overall health and offers a variety of benefits including reduced back pain, increased energy, and greater confidence. Having good posture is important to your overall health, as it can help you avoid muscle tension, pain, fatigue, and many other common ailments and medical conditions.
Did you know - slouching makes it easier to think negative thoughts, while sitting or standing in a strong, upright position encourages empowering thoughts. Standing tall instead of scrunching up also means that you occupy more space and radiate more energy to others, which in turn can make you feel more confident.
Did you know slouching
-increases abdominal pressure, which puts pressure on the bladder and decreases the ability of the pelvic floor muscles to hold against that pressure
-decreases breathing capacity as there is less room for the lungs and diaphragm to expand
-abdomen compresses organs in belly and intestines
-your head juts forward which stresses the jaw hinge
-aggravates knees
-stooping at waist strains joints
Don't Slump at Your Desk. It's comfy to slouch -- maybe even lean back and swivel a bit. But it’s a posture no-no. Try this instead: Sit all the way back in your chair. Place a small, rolled-up towel or lumbar cushion behind your mid-back to protect your spine's natural curve. Bend your knees at a right angle and keep them the same height, or a bit higher, than your hips. Place your feet flat on the floor.
Beware of 'Text Neck'. On your smartphone all day long? Take a minute to stretch your neck. When you tilt your head down to check messages it really strains your spine. Over the course of a day -- or year -- that can add up. For a better view, lift the phone up and move your eyes, not your head.
Don't Be a Low-Rider. It's comfy to recline during a long drive. But it isn’t great for your posture. Instead, consider sitting more upright. Try not to lock your legs. Bend your knees slightly. They should be at hip level or a tad above. Don't forget to put a pillow or rolled-up towel behind you for support.
Upright and walking. Stand up tall. You'll feel better and look better -- slimmer, even. Pretend you’re standing against a wall to measure your height. Keep your head up and tuck in your chin. Your ears should be over the middle of your shoulders. Stand with your shoulders back, belly tucked in, knees slightly bent. Don't let your booty or hips stick out. Straighten up so you feel like your head stretches toward the sky.
Exercise and Tone Your Abs. Too many pounds around your belly puts added stress on your back. You need strong muscles to support your spine. A well-designed workout plan will keep your body and spine in tip-top shape. And that's important. Try non-impact exercises like tai chi.
Find posture exercises you like and can easily do (no hurting yourself). Here are some suggested simple youtube exercises, but there are a number of them to choose from. Bob & Brad are my favorite and they have at least 9 to choose from. The ones below are the shortest and easiest videos. Sorry I can't minimize the links.
