HOW TO IMPROVE YOURr POSTURE.

How to improve your posture

Having a good posture is simple and is very important if you want to keep your body and mind healthy.

 When you exercise a correct posture, your body aligns itself. This can relieve fatigue, back pain, neck and head. Having an acceptable general health and sitting or standing properly, will elevate your bearing and confidence. This article will show you several ways to develop and maintain good posture.

1
Think of a rope. Always imagine that a rope that comes from above the head, pulls you gently towards the ceiling. Visualize techniques like this can develop your sense of proper posture and height effectively.

2
Ask someone to make a big X with tape on your back, from one shoulder to the opposite hip. Then, place a straight line across your shoulders by closing the X on top. Use it during the day to help reeducate your back. This works very well if you keep your shoulders back before wrapping, use wide, non-elastic tape and change it daily.

3
Avoid sagging shoulders when you walk. Try to walk as if you were swinging a book in your head.


4
Use the color If you need to remember the posture, think of an exclusive object or color. Every time you remember the object, check your posture.

5
Focus on the calves. Change your posture and balance yourself depending more on the calves. Rest and put energy in your steps. You will see that the upper part of your body will relax and assume an upright posture which will remove pressure on your back, shoulders and neck and will work on your abdominal muscles. This is fabulous, as you will strengthen your ankles and your abdominal muscles like stone!

Sit firmly in the chair! How many times did your mother tell you that? For many people, this suggestion was accompanied by "eat your peas" or "look where you walk". Mom was right, at least in the posture.
Especially because many people spend the day sitting at their work. It is important to follow this basic guide to improve posture and health.
If you work sitting during the day and have the option to choose a chair, choose an ergonomic that supports your weight and adjusts to your height. If there is no option, use a lumbar support pad.
Align your back with the back of the chair. This will help you avoid stooping or leaning forward, which you could do after sitting for a long time at your desk.
As in the standing posture, keep the shoulders straight and aligned, your right head and neck, back and heels aligned.
Keep both feet on the floor or footrest (footstool, if you do not reach the floor with your feet).
Adjust your chair and your position so that your arms are flexed, not out. That the elbows are flexed between 75 and 90 degrees.
If they are straighter, you are very far back, and if they are more than 90 degrees, you are sitting very close or very stooped.

Take breaks standing. Even when you have the best postures in the best chairs (and it is debatable if there is such a thing [1]), you need to stand up, flex, walk around, do some exercise or just stand still for a few minutes.
Your body was not designed to remain seated and in recent studies from the University of Sydney it was found that sitting for prolonged periods is a risk factor of cause of general death, so regardless of your physical activity. Move on!
