These days all you have to do is look around any public place and you’ll notice people that are hunching over their phones. Technology is changing how we hold ourselves and if we slouch too much it can have some serious consequences. Current research is linking slouching to more than just back pain. The research is revealing that hunching over can be bad for your self esteem, cause depression, and affect memory. Yikes!
Please understand, I’m not picking on technology. I’m a huge fan of technology and I don’t plan on giving up my smartphone or my computer any time soon. I’m guessing you’re not planning on it either. Technology is here to stay so I believe it’s important that we all take a few steps throughout our day to help avoid back pain, boost confidence, and remain alert. Keeping your shoulders pulled back makes your body look leaner so it can improve your appearance as well. Bonus!
In today’s video I share a simple exercise that will help you engage the muscles in your mid back. Engaging the mid back muscles helps you keep your shoulders back and avoid slouching. Take a moment to watch the video and use the exercise. You’ll be glad you did!
To your good posture for life!
