http://www.melissawest.com This video is designed to increase your awareness of and improve your posture for a sleeker physique. Much of our twenty-first century lifestyle promotes poor posture demanding that we spend endless hours hunched over our computers, driving in cars, and hovering over our work sitting in chairs at desks. Over time these daily activities have a negative impact on our bodies causing a rounded upper back, weak abdominals, weak lower back, pelvic alignment issues and short hamstrings. If your posture is equivalent to a lazy slump, you CAN end up with a thick waist, narrow chest, and rounded shoulders that take a good two inches off your natural height. This video will work to restore balance in the body by opening up the chest, strengthening the back, and toning the abdominals. Good posture is about more than just looking good; it is essential to a healthy, well-functioning body.
