Your homework!

This week I would love for all of you to pay attention to posture. We come to class to strengthen our muscles, it is time to put them to daily use. Make a conscious effort to feel how you are holding yourself throughout the day. When? Always. At a desk or table (whether working or facebooking!), standing in line or walking around, driving in your car, picking something (or someone!) up and sitting down for a meal. Have a look around you and see how many people are dealing with poor posture (you will really notice it when looking at people driving). Set a timer for every 30 minutes to keep checking yours. Use your watch, iphone, blackberry, kitchen timer.....whatever it takes to remind you to: roll those shoulders back and down, push the chest out,  bring that chin up and tighten the abdominals and glute (and smile!). Before long, you won't need the timer and it will become part of your daily routine. In your car: sit your bum right back in the seat and bring the back of the chair up to meet your back. The "10 o'clock and 2 o'clock postioning of your hands (remember that from driving school?!!) allows for the relaxation of your shoulders. Check and see if you lean slightly off to one side. If so, correct it! This will lead to less risk of injury and joint/back pain, a stronger core, a taller body and a better digestive system. You will also feel more alert and present. If anyone needs to have your back, it's you!!!!
