Strengthening posture with 10 minutes of StrongPosture™ exercise a day can help you stand taller, feel better, and yes, actually live longer. StrongPosture™ exercise creates an awareness of posture and, when performed daily, can stretch muscles, ligaments, and other structures that shorten with poor posture; strengthen muscles that weaken; and help people stay active, thereby combating a litany of health issues from degenerative joint disease to cardiovascular and respiratory problems.

Young or old, athlete or couch potato, maintaining StrongPosture™ with daily StrongPosture™ exercise is an intelligent LifeHabit for aging well.

These posture- strengthening exercises are based on contemporary biomechanical concepts blended with ancient yoga practices and wisdom. The goal is to teach you to become conscious of your posture, and then strengthen your posture and balance with focused-motion StrongPosture™ exercises. Exercises can be done anywhere, and do not require any expensive equipment. A flat wall is necessary as a reference for erect posture, and then we introduce inexpensive, low-tech tools like exercise balls.

Integrating StrongPosture™ into a routine ensures you get maximum benefit from every exercise you do. Professional and amateur athletes alike know they perform best when they perfect their form, and good form begins with StrongPosture ™. If you have been living with weak, poor posture your whole life, you cannot just change it in an afternoon.

StrongPosture™ exercises are designed to build on themselves, to be progressive. You want a strong foundation when erecting a building. Similarly, to improve posture, focus on one motion to master one motion at a time. Each StrongPosture™ exercise should be mastered before you progress to the next one so you can build movements “from the ground up” with controlled motion to first stabilize one part of the body as you then consciously move to another.

Focused attention to subtle movements can help find and strengthen weak links in your posture; doing them sloppily will accomplish far less or even aggravate a problem.
