5 BETTER POSTURE WORKOUTS TO GET RID OF SLOUCHING ALPINE SKI HOUSE

A good posture is super underrated and something that many people lack these days because of their desk jobs or couch potato behavior. Having a bad posture not just harms your body but affects your overall personality.

Here are a few examples of a poor body posture – droopy shoulders, rounded shoulders, protruded belly, bent knees, leaning your head either forward or backward. Some other symptoms of poor postures are back pain, body ache, muscle fatigue, etc.

You’re secretly one of them, right? Don’t worry it’s never too late to set your posture right.

Being aware of it is the first step now let’s get to know a few easy exercises that will help you in molding your body in the bestSKI way.

1. CHILD’S POSE Also known as resting child pose or Balasana is a stretching exercise that helps to lengthen and stretch your hip, thighs, and spine. Start by kneeling on the floor, now touch your toes together and sit on your heels. Spread your knees as wide as you can, kneel your body while stretching your hands out and try to touch your torso to the floor. Balasana is a resting exercise so make sure to relax your body with deep breaths for at least 30 seconds

exercise helps to strengthen your pectoral muscles, lower back, hamstring and glutes. Start with sitting on the floor with your legs stretched out and palms facing the floor placed slightly far from your hips.

Now lift your body and try to balance on your hands and feet. This is a body-weight exercise and might take a while to be perfect. Remember to not slouch

your torso, and try to hold the position for 30 seconds.
