Posture Degeneration vs Strengthening

Life is cyclic in most things, including our levels of activity. Winter keeps us indoors, followed by a burst of Spring fever and "get back in shape" activity, Summertime fun and then Fall's labors before settling into Holiday overconsumption and Wintertime blues. Many of us live in an annual cycle of activity- active to inactive- which contributes to the spiral of posture degeneration often seen as people age.

We instinctively use our stronger muscles to move, and avoid the weaker ones. This weak/strong imbalance creates patterns of motion (5th Posture Principle). Each time the whole system weakens and we work to "get back in shape",  our efforts are progressively more imbalanced, feeding the spiral of posture degeneration.

The solution:
Stay active, even in winter. Doing something physical is far, far better than doing nothing. Use and train your best posture posture every day- ESPECIALLY when exercising. And do your daily StrongPosture^TM exercises to strengthen YOUR best posture.
