Back and Posture

edavis27

So I have really bad posture and I feel this is why my back hurts sometimes. I have been trying to improve my posture to make sure my back is erect and in the natural curves, but starting to fix it, it hurts a bit, Is it a bad thing to fight through the pain to condition myself to have better posture?

Also what are some ways to better my posture, like I know sitting on an exercise ball is good for your core, but does it also aid your posture?

Thanks

Being aware is probably the best way.

i used to get back/shoulder pain just lying on my couch for too long.

after a couple months of Strong Lifts 5x5 and increasing the strength and muscles in my back, all my back troubles are gone.

Anything that strengthens your core is going to simultaneously help with your posture.
