Postural Guidelines for Back Strengthening

Exercising in proper postural alignment will increase your workout's effectiveness and substantially decrease your likelihood of injury. Therefore, correct posture should be maintained at all times during your exercise program. Follow the simple guidelines below to improve your posture.

Postural Guidelines

1. Make sure your head is parallel to the ground and centered over your shoulders.
2. Bring your chest up.
3. As you bring your chest up, your shoulders must relax and not go up. Therefore, relax your shoulders down and back.
4. Tighten your abs by pulling your belly button to your spine.
5. Align your knees with your second and third toes.
6. Make sure your knees are not locked. There must always be a slight bend in them.
7. Stand with your feet spaced comfortably apart (usually hip width).
8. Stand with your body weight placed at the mid points of your feet.

 

TESTIMONIALS
All through high school I battled with my weight. With this program, I was able to lose 75 pounds and have kept it off for 17 months. I look good, but best of all, I feel great.

One year ago from today, I weighed in at 355 pounds. My health was in serious jeopardy. Thank you for providing me with a program that is clear-cut, realistic and attainable. I have lost over 87 pounds, I have never felt better!
