There is no stick up my…..
Taken from www.alignmed.com
- Not my picture but on Day 1 thats where I was
Days Twenty Five, Twenty Six & Twenty Seven.
When I started this challenge my centre of gravity (measured in the body test) was always in the right by about 10% and I honestly did not care. On the first test I adjusted my weight to get the red dot in the middle of the cross hair and was standing in what I felt was a ridiculously pompous manner, so a good posture was low on my list of things I care about, below grey squirrels. But 25 days in and the red dot is dead centre on the vertical line which shows my posture is improving, nice right, but what does that mean?
I went to the library, searched through many fitness, science and yoga books then came home and googled ‘posture’, this is what I found at livestrong.com:
“Your posture is important because: 1) it directly affects your health and fitness, 2) it sends a message about how you feel about yourself, and 3) good posture can make you appear taller, thinner and more at ease. Indeed, the term “slouch” refers to someone who is weak, indifferent or irresponsible. “Chin up!” is meant as a phrase of encouragement, but if taken literally it is also good advice about posture.”
Not bad huh? I do feel slimmer, stronger and also more positive and I’m not just saying this because of the above statement but more so my general feeling over the last 2 weeks, I am very happy with life indeed, so much so that I use words like indeed. So If you do see me walking around all grandiloquent I assure you now that there is no stick up this bum.
