STAND TALL FEMALES. All too often do I see females hunched over, hiding them selves. Their postures almost apologising for having breasts. Most women I see have this postural trait and many complain of back problems. This can be down to a few things: #1 Poor self esteem. Making yourself smaller so you go un noticed is all too common and an absolute shame. What are you apologising for? Stand up and be counted sisters đ #2 Tight chest muscles. Are your a fitness class attendee? If so its likely that you spend a lot of time focusing on the front of your body... Press ups etc. With out sufficient stretching of these muscles they will become short and inflexible, pulling your shoulder forward. #3 Lack of upper back strength. This carries on nicely from point #2. Over developed chests often coincide with underdeveloped backs. Get yourself to a coach who can show you how to strengthen your upper back muscles and stretch your chest. #4 whats your job? Do you sit at a desk? Nail technician? Hair dresser? Teacher? All of these professions (and many more) will have you hunched forward for a massive part of your day. Taking steps to combat this will be really important for your long term health. My favourite upper back exercises are: Face Pulls Barbell Rows Dumbbell Rows Seated Row Get your postures checked, but for now... Boobs out, head up Rock it.
