We can all agree that proper posture makes every woman more attractive. However, what we need to understand is that proper posture is much more than just good appearance. Besides the fact that good posture makes every woman look slimmer and taller; it also supports the digestive system and can help the body get more energy. When you walk around with a hunched back, the body sends a much smaller amount of oxygen to the muscles as well as less blood to the intestines which can ultimately lead to constipation. Incorrect posture can also result in headaches because it disrupts proper blood circulation to the shoulders and neck. If we have bad posture for a long period of time, we can expect even more health problems. In order to avoid all these problems and make you look more beautiful, we are presenting four effective workouts for a better posture.
Workout No. 1
This simple workout will help you straighten the spine which will lead to corrected body posture. When the spine is not under pressure, you will also look several inches taller.
Start this workout by lying on the ground. Bend the knees and place the feet on the ground. Use a small pillow to support the head. Open your eyes wide and let the body relax on the ground while you are concentrated on straightening the spine. Keep breathing deeply and lie for about twenty minutes. Of course, don’t turn this exercise into a nap. This is completely different because you are consciously trying to correct the spine and by keeping your knees bent you will free the spine from stress and pressure.
Workout No. 2
This workout is focused on the muscles of the upper part of the back and shoulders. It will make this area stronger and it will prevent hunched posture and tilting forward. Take a Pilates ball and sit on it while keeping your knees bent and feet straight on the ground. The neck should be aligned with the shoulders. Take a dumbbell with small weight. Turn the hands to each other and bend the elbows at a right angle. Push your arms to the side and create tension in the shoulder muscles. Perform 10 repetitions and three sets.
Workout No. 3
Now here’s a workout that will strengthen the muscles of the shoulders, arms, back, hips and buttocks. In this way, you won’t be forced to keep your body upright, especially the area around your neck and head. Get down on your elbows and knees, bend the knees and spread the feet. Lift your buttocks and lower the torso so that the hips are touching the thighs. After that, put your hands out, keep the hands straight and touch the floor with your forehead.
Workout No. 4
Sit back and rely on the toes. Bend the knees and make sure that they are in line with the shoulders. Use your arms to move forward and raise the torso. Extend the legs forward and one arm to the side. Turn the torso to the extended arm. Exhale while going back to the initial position and gently push the knees to the chest and touch the ground with your toes. Perform 5 sets and one repetition for each side.
