Posture Check

Great posture is so much more than looking poised and confident (although that’s a huge benefit of better posture!).

When you’re standing, sitting, or walking properly, you are helping your body to function properly!

Bad posture can cause more problems than you can probably imagine:

• Headaches
• Poor circulation
• Chronic fatigue
• Back pain
• Deterioration of vertebrae
• Herniated disks
• TMJ
• Limited flexibility and lower range of motion
• And a LOT more!

The simple act of bringing awareness to your posture will make all of the difference in the world!

No matter if you’re sitting at work, shopping at the grocery store, or playing with your dog, I want you to pay close attention to how you are holding your body.

Something that can be really helpful is wearing a special bracelet or ring, in that every time you look at it, it reminds you to check your posture.

If that won’t work, try setting an alarm on your phone with a fun ring tone to go off every 30 minutes to remind you to sit or stand up straight!

Whatever works best to remind you- do that!

Are you in for the challenge this week to pay extra close attention to your posture!?

Your circulation, muscles, and rest of your body will thank you!!
