How to Straighten Up Your Posture

..................................................................................................... A straight posture does not only improve how you look and give you charisma, it also improves your health. There are several signs of a faulty posture. For example, if you are standing straight and your ear is ahead of the middle of your shoulder, this means that your head is slouching forward. Check if you suffer from the following posture problems and learn how to overcome them: 1. Elevated Shoulder Shoulder elevation is caused by weak under chest muscle. To fix this, sit straight while placing your hands palms down on the chair beside your hips. Lift your body up without moving your arms until your hips rise off the chair and stay like that for 5 seconds. Do this 12 times and repeat it twice to three times a day. 2. Forward Head This problem is caused by stiff back of the neck muscles. Treat this posture problem by dropping your chin down to your sternum and stretch the muscles at the back of your neck then hold for 5 counts. Repeat this exercise 10 times daily.
