Weight Loss without Worry

     Some of you may not know that I began working in health care as a chiropractor.  I think this is the reason that I am so drawn to noticing people’s posture.  It is either that or the fact that my mom always harped on me to stand up straight.

     It is very easy to connect good posture with good spinal health but have you ever noticed that people who walk and stand with a good, strong posture look thinner?  If your posture is sagging and you would like to look a few pounds lighter in just a few minutes, I encourage you to pull your shoulders back, tuck your pelvis up and under and stand up straight!

     Here are two things that can help you build the muscles that support your posture…

• The Posture Workout This link will take you to a Woman’s Day Magazine that demonstrates simple yet effective exercises you can do to improve your posture.  Check it out, it’s free and a great place to start.
• Chi Walking This book and/or DVD comes highly recommended from me.  I tell everyone about it when they embark on a walking program.  If you want to walk with less effort or if you have some problem that hampers your ability to walk comfortably (i.e. knee pain, foot pain, back pain…) then this is for you.   You will improve your posture and prevent injury.  Click on the banner below to learn more.
