Poor body posture isn’t a pretty sight and over time, it can really
start to wear you down. It turns out, your mom and teacher telling you
to have good posture was good advice! These days, bad posture is getting
worse and worse. Excess weight, excess texting, stress, and too much
sitting are all contributors. Our back muscles are just naturally a
little bit weaker. So how can we fix it?
Lie down on your stomach with your face down toward the floor. SLOWLY
and gingerly life the front part of your body with your head up. Lift
as high as is comfortable; do not push it too hard. Keep your arms at
your sides and hands on your hips. This exercise actives many
tension-bearing back and leg muscles. Do this exercise ten minutes.
Ten times is enough for the first time. Repeat this exercise daily
and keep adding repetitions. Over time, your back will strengthen and
straighten out. No more poor body posture!
