Good Posture can improve your Core Strength



Everyone wants the perfect abs now and will buy all sorts of products trying to attain them. The problem with actually seeing those perfect abs may not only be an ineffective product, but also our body fat percentage. Lack of proper exercise is also a factor. A simple way to improve your abdominal strength is to sit-up straight, and this is an exercise you can do anywhere! Good posture will not only strengthen your core, but will also help prevent injury, aid in breathing, improve digestion, and even reduce stress.

One of the first things I do when assessing a new client is check their posture. Many people don't realize that core doesn't just pertain to our abdominal....there are many other muscles that need to be worked in order to get that "perfect" midsection. Such as the lower back. It's important to have a strong back to support the rest of the core.
