Working out a twenty-year old body is like writing on a clean slate. Working out a forty (or sixty) year old body is another matter. Back pain, neck and shoulder problems and other pains all make you move differently. Choosing to exercise is usually good, but choosing to exercise intelligently is better. StrongPosture™ is the best biomechanical alignment of the body where all the muscles and joints are ideally aligned to work their best while stressing the body the least.

Did you exercise today? There is one truth for everyone with a body, man or woman, "Use it or lose it." Whether you have a body like Michael Jordan, or you haven't exercised since high school gym class, your body is shaped by two things...your genetics and your experiences, including injuries & habits.

Practice makes permanent, not perfect. If you have ever had an injury, your body motion probably is not ideally balanced. So, if you can learn to feel a more normal, balanced, controlled motion with a daily posture stretch, you can carry that feeling into other athletic endeavors.
Posture exercise helps athletes restore balance, ensuring optimal sports performance. |

Twenty first century life has created the 21st century posture. We use our bodies differently than our grandparents did. We sit far more than a human body was designed to.
Muscles come in sets, and every muscle has a partner muscle for balance. When we sit, we only use one muscle in a set. So, when we sit for much of our day, we are overusing some muscles and under-using others.
Posture exercises are designed to stretch the over-used muscles, and stengthen the neglected muscles. |

Neither your ribs nor your lungs can draw in a single breath without help. Your basic chest-box is brought to life by the performance of MUSCLES sandwiched between your ribs in partnership with the wide, powerful DIAPHRAGM that stretches like an elastic floor across the bottom of your ribcage.
Lung tissue is completely dedicated to delivering oxygen to your blood and to carting away carbon dioxide and other spent gases. The expansion and release of your ribcage is what draws in fresh air and dumps out depleted air. Lung tissue is far too busy to share in that responsibility! Your major breathing muscles turn your chest into a kind of accordion - squeeze and release.
