"Stand up straight! Pull those shoulders back! Stop slumping!"Who didn't hear those words at least once as a child? Unless you were blessed with perfect posture, achieving that graceful Ginger Rogers-esque line from your butt to your head can be a somewhat elusive accomplishment. But there's reason to work on it! One, there's nothing worse than a great wedding photo ruined by habitual slumping. And two, it's good for your health! Poor posture can lead to back pain, spinal dysfunction, joint degeneration, rounded shoulders, and (gasp!) a potbelly! Fun stuff.
Here's a great video, found on Bloomacious, all about harnessing the power of posture!
