I know I have a problem with my posture 😰 

Thanks for the reminder, one day I’ll get my act together 🤞 

Being in an office all day, I'm thankful for the reminder, dear. Thanks. 

even my age, I had serious problems with my posture, then I realised (and the docter confirmed it), that I have weak rear delt, so I started a programm with rear delts focus and tried to remind my self to seat and stand correctly. I made a huge progress and still working on that 

if you are wondering how bad is your posture, you can try a following test: find a wall without a baseboard (it can be not a wall but closed door) and try to stand as straight as you can pressing your back to the wall: first press your heels, then calves, then backside, try to press your lower back, back, shoulder blades, finally shoulders. If it is impossible to stand like that even a minute, then your posture needs correction. If you can stay like that 5 min - your posture is good. 

I LL try this today 

Great advice! 

My posture is bad, thank you for the tips. 👍 

Great outfit. Looks really nice. Posture is even important for digestion. I swim. That really helps to keep shoulder, neck and back muscles limber.  

I love these guys and their tips are pretty good even if their videos are a little silly. I used the one on sleeping on a small rolled up sock to help with my baby "Dowager's/Widow's Hump" that was forming from too many hours at the computer. I'm not that old just yet!!! Here's that video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Uko-gs--C8 Here's their channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/physicaltherapyvideo/search?query=posture 

I have been hunched over a desk, and then at a computer, since jr. high school age. A few years ago, I began to consciously straighten up after seeing my slumping self at a table, reflected in a McDonald's window, waiting for my bacon double cheeseburger, fries, and chocolate shake. Most people look a lot slimmer with better posture. A physical therapist helped me.  

@Katsolo, great YouTube channel. Thanks! 

oh wow! What great advice!. Thank you. 

thanks for the reminder. Working on it 

Interesting exercise. I could do all points except lower back and I felt my calves stretching. Does that mean by backside is disproportionate to the rest of my body?  

You wear the cutest outfits. 

Just wanted to say that I like the tips about posture as I try to emphasize this to my teen and her friends as they sometimes have a tendency to be lazy with their posturing.....it is really important to stay on top of things as to prevent health issues later in life. But I also wanted to tell you that you wear your outfits well and your appearance is "L-I-T" ....your body has a long lean look to be envied. Keep up the great work!!!! ;) Keep the pics coming, its refreshing to see your outfits and health performance changes.

Due to the natural curve it is practically impossible to do...lol.. that is why I wrote "try to press...". Its just needed to align your spine.
