4 Exercises to Fix Your Posture

4 Exercises to Fix Your Posture

Posted by David Nickum Exercise

We rarely consider ergonomics in our daily lives. Despite spending several hours a day sitting on a chair, we hardly focus on our position, the effect that it may have on our bodies. Focusing on temporary comfort rather than stability for the body’s joints and bones results in pain and can lead to further complications with age.

You don’t necessarily need to go to the gym to deal with these issues. With the right amount of exercise consistently, you can see improvements. The help of a corrective trainer can also improve your posture. Try these at-home workouts and see some positive change in you:

Chest Opener

This exercise is incredibly helpful for those who spend a lot of their time sitting on a chair.

  1. Stand up.
  2. Your feet should be hip-width apart from each other.
  3. Keep your arms behind you, interlace your fingers in a way that your palms are touching each other.
  4. Look straight ahead.
  5. Bringing your hands towards the floor, keep inhaling as you begin to lift your chest.
  6. Take deep breaths, and hold this position for around 15 to 20 seconds.
  7. Repeat this exercise at least ten times.

Planking

Planking has several health benefits and is one of the most straightforward exercises to do. It targets several core parts of your body. Even though it’s a universally recognized form of exercise, people end up doing it wrong and hurting themselves, doing more harm than good.

If you don’t feel confident, don’t sweat it. Getting Personal training Alexandria VA service can help you out. Here’s how to plank correctly:

  1. Look down at the floor, don’t raise your neck too much.
  2. Your back should not be sinking downward.
  3. Your legs shouldn’t recline. They should be in a straight position.

Squats

Similar to planking, squats are a common exercise, but people tend to get it wrong. Here’s how to nail squats each and every time.

  1. Stretch your hands out.
  2. Keep both your feet a shoulder-width distance.
  3. Attempt to sit down, going as low as it is comfortable for you.
  4. Repeat around 10 times.

Raise Your Neck Up While Using the Phone

Anterior Head Syndrome is also caused Text Neck. It’s the slumping of the neck as if to read a text on the phone. The solution for it is straightforward, raising your phone at head level to read the text.

This reduces tension headaches, neck and shoulder pain, difficulty in breathing, and pain in the middle and lower side of the back and the chest.

Your physical health should always be a top priority. To do well in life, you must feel well.
