Psst ... Hey! Wanna know a secret? Here's how to look up to 10 pounds thinner,
have your clothes look better, and ooze confidence with every step you take.
And you might just get rid of your tension headaches and lower back pain while
you're at it. Sounds like a bad late-night infomercial, right? It's not. You may
actually achieve these things if you pay attention to an often neglected area of
body conditioning -- your posture.
Exercises for better posture... from NOVAK "From either a standing or sitting
position, simply lift your sternum, (the breast bone in the center of your chest)
up just an inch or two. It will dramatically change what is going in with your
posture instantly," says Novak, who details several other similar techniques in
her new DVD.
What's going on, she says, is that you're lifting your rib cage up off of your
midsection and stopping the curve in the back that takes place when you slump
forward. More important, she says "it helps you get your head back over your
shoulders where it belongs, plus it takes the stress off of the back and neck
muscles."
Novak says doing that one other move each time you find yourself slumping
forward will net you some real change in your day-to-day posture in as little as 3
weeks' time.
"If you also add in a motion where you squeeze your shoulder blades together
towards your spine, and tuck them down as if you were trying to put them in your
back pocket, you'll begin to strengthen the back muscles that will give additional
support to your posture, so you may even see results sooner," says Novak.
If you want to boost your posture even more, Bottsech says, try exercises that
build core and upper back strength, so your midsection can be well supported.
"When your core and your upper back are strong, it not only makes it easier to
stand up tall and straight, but it also helps overcome some of the health-related
problems created by the muscle imbalances of poor posture, including lower
back pain and neck pain," says Bottsech.
To help get you started, Bottsech offers these three simple core strength and
posture exercises. Be sure to check with your doctor first if you have any back,
neck, or spine issues. And if any exercise causes pain or is extremely difficult,
stop and consult a physician or a personal trainer before continuing.
Pelvic Tilt: Lie on your back with knees bent and feet on the floor. Place a folded
towel under your lower back. Engage your abdominals by drawing your navel
toward your spine as you press your lower back into the towel. Hold 5 seconds.
Repeat 10-15 times.
Arm Sweeps: Sit on the floor with knees bent, heels touching the floor and toes
lifted. Extend arms to each side and rotate your body, lifting the right arm toward
the ceiling as the left arm touches the floor behind you. Reverse and lift left arm
toward the ceiling while right arm twists to touch the ground behind you. Repeat
10-15 times.
Cross-Over Crunch: Lie on the floor with knees bent, feet flat on the floor. Place
one hand behind your head for support. Engaging your abdominal muscles,
slowly lift head, neck and shoulders, and bring left elbow to right knee. Lower
slowly and repeat on opposite side. Repeat 10-15 times. source.
