Wellbeing: Your best posture ever

Bad posture is so widespread - how can we go about improving it and what benefits does it bring?

Look around your workplace and you will see numerous examples of bad posture. Many people have rounded shoulders, hunched upper backs, tense necks, overarched lower backs and protruding abdominals. What can be done about it?

Get some posture power! 
Do you want to lose five pounds and grow an extra inch in five seconds? 
Simple – stand up straight and quit slouching! Great posture gives you an air of confidence and ease about how you stand and move.

What’s the damage?
When the body is out of alignment, there is abnormal pressure on joints and this can result in injury and faulty movement patterns. However, you can fix your posture with corrective exercise and as a result you will have better muscle symmetry and it will help you avoid injury in the gym. Good posture not only looks great, but it keeps the muscles and skeleton in alignment and balance.
