]]> Good posture is not only visually appealing but also essential for overall health and well-being. Whether you spend hours at a desk or have a sedentary lifestyle, it’s important to take steps to improve your posture and prevent the development of back and neck pain. So, let’s dive into five simple exercises that will help you improve your posture and strengthen your core muscles.

Wall Angel

Stand with your back against a wall and your feet slightly away from the wall. Place your arms at a 90-degree angle with your elbows and wrists touching the wall. Slowly slide your arms up and down the wall, keeping your back and head in contact with the wall. This exercise helps to open up your chest, strengthen your upper back muscles, and improve your shoulder alignment.

Shoulder Blade Squeeze

Sit or stand with your arms relaxed by your sides. Squeeze your shoulder blades together, as if you’re trying to hold a pencil between them. Hold this position for a few seconds and then release. Repeat this exercise several times to strengthen the muscles between your shoulder blades, promoting better posture.

Plank

Start by lying face down on the floor. Place your forearms on the ground, elbows directly beneath your shoulders. Lift your body up onto your toes and forearms, keeping your body in a straight line from head to heels. Engage your core and hold this position for 30 seconds to 1 minute. The plank exercise targets your core muscles, including your abs and back, which are essential for maintaining good posture.

Cat-Cow Stretch

Get down on all fours, with your hands directly beneath your shoulders and your knees below your hips. Inhale as you arch your back, lifting your chest and tailbone toward the ceiling (Cow Pose). Exhale as you round your spine upward, tucking your chin to your chest (Cat Pose). Alternate between these two poses, moving with your breath. This stretch helps to improve spinal flexibility and strengthen your core muscles.

Bridge

Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart. Place your arms by your sides. Press your feet into the floor as you lift your hips off the ground, forming a straight line from your knees to your shoulders. Hold this position for a few seconds, engaging your glutes and core muscles, and then lower your hips back down. The bridge exercise targets your glutes and lower back, helping to improve posture and strengthen your posterior chain.

]]> You were probably told to “stand up straight” throughout your childhood, right? Join the club! Although the instruction probably seemed quite annoying at the time, the person behind it actually had a good point. 

Standing up straight gives the appearance of being taller, more confident, and graceful. Not to mention that it’s much better for your spine, in general. Poor posture from slouching (particularly during your teen years) can lead to a condition called hyperkyphosis which is charecterized by a rounded, forward-leaning upper back. 

If that posture sounds familiar, don’t stress, because spinal extension is totally trainable.

Step #1

Sit against a wall, making sure that your ribs are back and the back of your head and shoulder are touching the wall. 

Step #2

Bring your elbows to the wall and lift your wrists back to touch the wall behind you. It is very important that you do not lift your ribs as you do this; keep your back flat against the wall. 

Step #3

Squeeze while straightening your arms up the length of the wall—keeping your ribs in—and then bending them back down. Make sure your elbows and wrists maintain contact with the wall and do 10 reps.

]]> The back is a crucial structure of our anatomies. Almost every movement the body makes engages it. Without a strong back, you can’t support your weight, and exercising becomes much harder. Here are five exercises that will help strengthen your back and boost your overall fitness levels.

Cardio Warmup

Start with a soft cardio warm-up to get your blood pumping and to get your muscles moving. This makes the exercises easier and it helps prevent injury.

Resistance Band Pull Apart

A good way to start your workout is to take a resistance band, extend your arms out in front, and pull them apart 15 to 20 times. This gets your back moving without applying too much pressure.

Hyperextension Stretches

Now that your back is nicely warmed up, the next thing to do is to start stretching. A good way to do this is to kneel on all fours and gently lower your stomach to the floor as you raise your head. You should feel the middle of your back stretching.

Is your “Back Beat”? Do your shoulders feel tense? Are you down to just a “Nickel and a Nail”? Well, it costs nothing to destress, stretch and Thread the Needle. Lately this has been my go to warm up yoga pose. It’s a great upper body stretch and most importantly, is super relaxing when you’re having one of those “I’m just not feeling it” start to your days.

Wright’s bluesy, chiseled voice is the stuff of legend. . . . #ovwright #threadtheneedle #yogaposesforbeginners #soulsunday #soulmusic #yogatoday #sundayyoga #sundayworkout #yogaasana #stretches #vinyloftheday #vinylyoga #yogilife #supersoulsunday #soulrecords #backstretch #recordroom #instavinyl #igvinylclub #soulvinyl #southernsoul #memphis #aceofspades #cratedigger #musicforthesoul #yogapractice #yogafitness #recordcollection #nowspinning #namaste🙏

Lat Pulldown

Take your resistance band again and this time pull from above your head down to your waist. This uses your lats, biceps and forearms.

Pull-Ups

Finally, the classic pull-up is a wonderful way to strengthen those back muscles. As your arms pull you up, your back tenses and stretches, making it stronger and more flexible.
