Exercises To Improve Your Posture
Good posture can take 3 kg (7 lb)
off your body image.
Reprogramme your alignment by
conditioning your body with this
basic exercise. Repeat three
times a day, so that good posture
becomes second nature.
Simple Exercises To Improve Your Posture
1. Stand about 30 cm (12 in) away
from a wall, facing the room; your
knees should be relaxed and feet
hip-width apart. Pull your stomach muscles in toward the wall.
Breathe out and press your head,
shoulders, upper back and hips
into the wall.
2. Hold your spine straight and
stomach muscles taut. Push
away from the wall with your
hands into a free-standing
position. Look straight ahead
without raising or jutting your
chin. Relax your shoulders
without slouching. This is what
perfect posture feels like.
BACK SUPPORT: Good posture
encourages firm stomach muscles, which
then help to support the lower back,
preventing aches and damage.
