I remember the first time I met my friend Angela. Something about her seemed so feminine and graceful and she felt important to me. After I stared at her for a while I realized it was because she had great posture. I slouch and I hate it. Here are six ways to improve your posture so you can look 10 lbs thinner and 10 years younger.
1. Strengthen your Rhomboids: the muscles between your shoulders
2. Strenthen your Spinal Erectors: the muscles running along side the spine
3. Use External Tools: use small pillows to tuck behind your lower back for support
4. Keep a Straight Car Seat: your seat should be as erect as possible
5. Sit With Your Feet on The Floor: when you sit at your monitor or in a chair, maintain your feet on the floor.
6. Do Yoga: successfully practicing yoga can improve your posture and strenthen muscles

I try to always keep my elbows slightly behind my torso when standing. It seems to make you stand up straighter.
Amie and I practiced good posture yesterday and people noticed. I'm making it a goal for the rest of the year...form a habit of good posture. Wish me luck!
