Tried correcting your posture, but it didn't take? Here's an easy technique, plus a few exercises to make your new, good posture stick! (Pun absolutely intended.)
You'll also learn to improve your kinesthetic awareness and get your breathing into a better place.
The only tools you will need are a stick long enough to span your tailbone to your head and something to tie it to your body, like a belt or bungee cord. Don't get hung up on the equipment. The concepts and fundamentals are more important.
Remember the three points of contact! Keep your hand on your lower back as much as possible to prevent accidental hyperextending your lower back.
Beyond the exercises, try this technique when practicing your sports. Good posture combined with good technique makes you more efficient! You could even use this technique while sitting at your desk or on the couch to continue practicing that kinesthetic awareness and mind-body connection.
Try pairing this technique with some of the other exercises linked below for Forward Head Posture (FHP) or Hunchback/Kyphosis if you find yourself struggling to get your spine in a comfortable neutral position.
