The human body is designed to walk and run, not sit in a folded, cramped position for hours. Problems begin when we work the deep core muscles balancing our body in only a small part of their full range of motion. Unused muscles adapt and atrophy, and overtime our posture weakens.
If you spend a big chunk of your life sitting, you must actively do something to counteract your habits, or your posture will suffer.
Our habits at work, during exercise and at play shape our body. Especially as we spend more time hunched over tablets and phones texting and surfing, it’s smart to start being aware of the health impact of our habits.
Studies show our posture can have a dramatic impact on health, so see how you stack up with a posture assessment. Then, strengthen how you stand, sit and live.
