How's Your Posture?


Boot Camp Personal Trainers at M.E.L.T Share  4 Great Posture Tips.

Tip #1: There is no such thing as perfect posture! Its important YOU understand this as improving process is a life long process and something we ALWAYS need to work on.

Tip #2: Practice Posture at least once an hour by pulling your shoulders back and puffing your chest up like a super hero.

Tip #3: Set reminders around you to improve posture: sticky notes on your desk, computer or car or sit on a stability ball at work so you are forced to maintain posture.

Tip #4: Spend 60 seconds a day (morning, mid day , night – doesn’t matter) reach your arms straight back, pull your shoulders back, puff your chest up and squeeze your back blades together for 60 seconds. This quick exercise will connect your brain neurologically to your posterior core muscles.
