What will make me sit up straighter without slouching or it hurting??


Question: I dont want a hunch back when i am 50 so i wanna make my posture better!
Answers: You need to work on your abs and your lower back. Those muscles work together. If your abs are weak, you probably have a weak lower back as well. That will make you slouch, make your stomach stick out more and cause lower-back pain and even constipation if your intestines are too crunched from your bad posture. (My personal trainer taught me all this.)
Imagine this: your head is a block of wood. So are your shoulders, your hips, your knees and your feet. Each block is attached to the next by a cord. On top of your head is a balloon. Feel the balloon rise and pull all of the blocks into alignment. That's how you want to stand and sit. Your shoulders should be slightly back. If you are standing still, tilt your pelvis slightly forward and bend your knees just a bit. You'll feel your spine settle right into your pelvic girdle. It's very comfortable. (That part's from my Chi Gong teacher.)
those muscles in your lower back that you haven't been using lately
an electric chair should do the trick
Try sitting against your wall and sit up straight and pull your shoulders backwards. Try not to slouch.
Do crunches and stretch your back once everyday.
