Posture
posted April 4, 2009

Good posture doesn’t just look nice, but helps your body distribute stresses more easily & safely. This is especially important when exercising! From your head to your toes, here’s what to do:

• Look forward
• Stack your head, neck, shoulders & hips
• Relax your shoulders, don’t hunch
• Keep your chest open
• Engage abdominals lightly
• Don’t lock your knees, keep them ever-so-slightly bent
• Place feet hip width apart
• Center your weight lightly on your feet

Now you’re ready for anything! You can adapt these tips for non-standing positions, as well.
