Did you know that people who maintain good posture have more energy overall than those who hunch over? Unfortunately, we slump more than ever, thanks to time spent on cell phones and computers. So if you are a "slouch" potato, listen up! Of course you can improve your posture by just standing and sitting up straight, but to help yourself even more here are a couple of tips:
- Taking a Pilates or Yoga class can help perk up your posture
- Sit on a Stability Ball when doing computer work so you use more of your core to keep your back straight.
- Make sure your chair is the right height for your desk/computer.
- When sitting, keep your feet flat on the floor.
- When standing, keep the majority of your weight on the balls of both your feet.
- Change positions frequently - for every 30 minutes of one position, take a 2-minute break.
- Find a good chiropractor and get regular adjustments.
If you are in the Fresno area and need a good chiropractor recommendation, let me know. Dr. Chris Long at the Long Family Chiropractic & Wellness Center is awesome!
