and sit up straight – but like most of us, you

When you’re standing or
walking around, think about

stomach muscles – this helps
you stand tall and straight.
You will likely need to
consciously think about this
when walking around. Don’t
get discouraged if this doesn’t

Pay attention to your posture
and gait when you’re walking
up stairs or up a hill. It’s
natural to bend at the waist,
focus on looking ahead
instead of down and on
tightening your core muscles.
The more you look ahead, the
easier it will be to keep
yourself from bending at the
waist.

When you’re sitting at work, make sure your legs
are bent at 90 degrees, your feet are firmly
planted on the floor and that your back is well
supported. Be aware of sitting fully in your chair
so that you bum is touching the back of the
chair.
Don’t forget your head and neck. So many of us
point our chins forward which causes us to add a
lean into our necks. This is particularly common
for anyone who works on a computer. Think
about sitting back and tucking your chin in.
