Straight posture
Straight posture:
Old is gold but getting older also means slouching and stooping. Apart from reducing muscular tension and stress on bones and ligaments, good from posture is sure fire way to appear confident, capable, and HOT!
So what is it that makes Lara Stone,Natasha Poly and Freja Beha Erichsen rock the catwalk? Their Super Straight Posture, of course! Try this clever old-school trick. Put a heavy book (or two if you are up for a real challenge) on your head and walk up and down your room. Your spine immediately lengthens and your shoulders widen. This also allows overused, fatigued, and painful muscles to release, the natural curves in your spine to balance their forces, and a respite from any stresses in your day. Do this for 20 minutes a day and slowly it will become your habit.
Lifting weights to improve posture may seem strange but the repetitive moves strengthen the upper back, lats, lower back and abdominals which, as we have learnt, pulls our body back in to balance. A personal trainer at a gym will be able to show you the moves you need to perfect but it's important to remember that when it comes to using weights, for women it's less weight, more repetition.
If you tend to slump forward when sitting at your desk (the majority of us do), then a tennis ball could be just the trick. For every inch your head moves forward, it increases the strain on the neck by 10 pounds. Poor neck positioning can lead to forward head posture, which is a common cause of neck strain and back pain. You can correct your posture and relieve pain. While sitting in your chair, slide a tennis ball between your back and the back of the chair and hold the ball in place by pressing your back against it. Keeping the tennis ball in place forces you to sit up straight and helps remind you to practice better posture. A little uncomfortable maybe, but its only necessary for the length of time it takes for you to be aware of how you are sitting.
Pilate's exercises are designed to restore the natural curves of the spine and rebalance the muscles and joints by focusing improving core strength. A key element to good posture is strengthening the muscles in the upper back and learning how to keep the shoulder blades down and pulled slightly together. Pilates can help you to achieve this and with practice, you will be able to hold your stomach in and keep your pelvis and lower back in the optimal position for good posture.
They're words no women want to hear but we know it to be the truth - wearing heels daily is not good for our posture. Heels throw you off balance and shorten hamstrings which effect posture. Like most great things in life they are fine in small doses but should be the exception rather than the rule. Try wearing shoes that correct posture to and from the office and swap for hells once safely behind your desk.
As well as being heavenly, massage can also help correct posture problems by re-training the overworked muscles that pull your body out of balance. The neck, shoulders, and lower back are areas that store excessive tension so book yourself a massage for a renewed, knot-free and relaxed body. The therapeutic movements can also relieve pressure around the joints, allowing the body to move without stiffness.
