Are You Sitting Up Straight?

Changing posture doesn't occur overnight, as it is the result of years of slouching slumping -- often at a desk while at work or in school. Instead, improving posture requires discipline and a dedicated effort to strengthen the core abdominal muscles and pursue health alignment in the spine.

Optimal Health Starts with Good Posture and Exercise

Posture exercises are a foundation of holistic health and have been used for years to improve the body's musculoskeletal strength and alignment. Some of the ways you can improve your alignment is by practicing exercises that target the obliques, upper abdominals and transverse abs. Pilates and yoga are excellent for the spine and core muscles, as are plank exercises.
