I didn't have much time yesterday to explain some of the important things I have recognized over my span as a Coach regarding Posture.
Yesterday, I simply gave an exercise to "CHECK" it.
We are predators. We have bifocal vision in FRONT of our heads. We HUNT with laser like precision. Because our eyes are in front we do the bulk of our work out in front.
Our hands are there, our chin begins to strain forward with dimensioning eye sight and we begin to move our head forward of that Homeostatic BLANCE or the "Anatomical Position" of balance we so enjoy.
Every inch the head moves forward of that midline equates to around ten pounds of pressure we place on the low back. One inch equals 10 pounds, two inches becomes 20 pounds, three inches...well, you get the idea
Not only that, as our head descends into our sternum we begin to reduce the lung's capacity for overall volume as well.
Don't think THAT'S important?
Think about this...you can go 40 days without food, ten days without water. Try going 5 minutes without breathing!!!
In order to check it again...every twenty minutes...Pull your ears back over your shoulders. Keep you head in the neutral position with a nice sexy double chin, shoulders over your hips, and the hips which we'll get to, that never lie" over your knees, all the while keeping your shoulder blades pulled BACK with your chest showing proudly!
