It really is a sign you need to work on it. I’ve progressed from doing light chest stretches (in a doorway) to using a foam roller on my mid/upper back. Slowly roll up and down with arms outstretched to the sides, pausing every once in awhile and just laying back on the roll. Not only does it stretch out tight muscles in the FRONT (chest, ribs, etc), but it also works out knots in the BACK that occur from poor posture. I foam roll a couple days a week for like 5 mins each session and it keeps my neck pain away!!
@@coryjohnson2486 this is called myofascial release. The idea that joints, muscles tissue, and nerves are actually longer than the mobility we're allowed. We are limited neurally and myofascial release with a foam roller allows for the muscle-brain connection to feel safe in certain position so it won't restrict itself. Fascia also is very flexible and almost net like, but it's strong and can calcify if left stagnant in certain positions. So doing foam rolling, massaging muscles/nerves afflicted, and posture exercises will not only correct posture and mobility problems, but also give you a wider range.
@@entertheabyss9785 you got it- myofascial release! I know exactly what ur talking about, but u put it in better words than I could 😂. I’m glad that a friend introduced me to foam rolling because getting deep tissue massages can become expensive! Lol
@@coryjohnson2486 I’ve been wondering what to do about the tighetness in my chest, guess I’ll actually have to try this one instead of saving it to a playlist and telling myself I’ll start someday 🤧
@@mlg8903 been watching this channel, but seriously I use to never really take care of myself until a near death experience and one of my problems is a very slight huch and slightly rolled shoulders and I've basically fixed my left shoulder my rights almost there and I can stand up straighter then ever before. Kids don't sit in a chair all day building puzzles looking down for long periods does so much damage.
My man. The way you spoke in this video is Soo smooth, not insulting anyone's posture, not making people bad for themselves and showing them a technique they can use if they want to improve their posture. This way of speaking is something i really admire. Earned my Respect.
How is allowing people to believe that poor posture isn’t bad for you a good thing? If you care about people and they are doing harm to themselves you try to correct them because you care about the outcome and quality of their life
@@SerV689 Yes. Having a bad posture is NOT NORMAL AT ALL. Just try doing exercise while being stuck with your neck at the front and your core at the back
@@meplease2506 Actually, you can't make anyone feel insulted. If they are susceptible to feeling offended, it's by their own creation. IF someone gets offended, that is clear evidence of an insecurity that they are being shown by the person that "supposedly" offended them. In reality they did the "victim" a favor, by showing them that they have a belief about being a victim. Which they are projecting with their over-reaction. That knowledge really serves the individual in becoming who they want to be, compared to who they were.
@@PsychoBackflip i get what you are saying and i agree with you but we can still choose our words more carefully because everyone of use feel insulted in some way or another even tho they didn't mean to insult or harm us and what you said somewhat supports the perpetrator becuase it can cause something like : ''I didn't mean anything and you are only making it on your mind you are deslusional'' kind of talk And i come to realize that the more you hate yourself the more you hate other people and the more you want to change yourself because you hate yourself you try to change other people and there are so many comments people feeling that ''how can you be comfortable with a bad postured body?'' it is because they love themselves unlike you
@@hectormaldonado2123 damn people work hard on them to improve their height to attract but god forgive if you say that you are not attracted to fat people, fuck this logic fr
@@notincognito4660 Posture and also self love and confidence in your self are the two things you need to really improve, better said than done but hard work pays off
Like the rest of us goblins do, and yes it actually does help I used to straighten my back out against a wall after playing video games hunched over for like 20hrs straight lmao definitely should do this wall technique everyday to keep a healthy spine! Gamer scoliosis is real I swear lmao
Romans 10:9-10, 13(KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life
As someone with a structural hyperkyphosis (meaning I can't correct posturally, my bones are literally the wrong shape) I really appreciate the way you spoke about it and posture more generally in the video. I was bullied for the way my spinal problems make me look and often these posture videos leave me feeling awful about myself but for once I felt respected and treated with kindness.
Here is something that should help you out allot, 1 get yourself a peanut foam roller, 2 get yourself a pull-up bar, 3 get yourself a pair of fluffy tennis wristbands, and 4 get yourself a pair of weightlifting straps. Step 1 lay on the peanut foam roller and have it at the top of your upper back, lift your butt off the ground a little bit so your back is leaning more onto the roller, breath in your nose and out your mouth slowly until you feel the muscle go loose. Step 2 slowly roll onto the next part of the spine just below the part you just loosened, and repeat what you just did. Step 3 when you get to the lower back, just roll back up the spine slowly, and then back down the spine slowly, increase the speed slowly until you feel like there is nothing tight in the mid and upper back muscles anymore. Step 4 put some weight on your sternum whilst you are on the roller, try to find the max weight you can hold on your chest whilst still being able to comfortably deep breath, now roll up and down the spine to fully loosen the muscles. Step 4 put your tennis bands on, put your weightlifting straps on, stand on a platform and wrap the straps around your pullup bar, don't have your hands wide, keep your hands directly above you shoulder width apart only, now take your feet off the platform and completely hang, do this and deep breath until you start to feel a burn in your back somewhere, or until your hands get a little tired then stop. If your hands get a little tired then take a short break, then hang on the bar again, and keep going on and off until you feel a burn. Step 5 get a chair or a foot stool, get on your knees and rest your elbows on the edge whilst having your hands behind your head, deep breath again and let your back bend like a bridge, now if you dont feel anything happening on your back, then move your knees away from the chair a little, then go back to bending, and now you should feel a little pinch happening on your back, now deep breath until your back can't take anymore and then you are done. Now you can do the exercise in this video, but you will be able to do it way better from having the flexibility to be in the proper position, also you will get more out of it from being able to better contract the right muscles. You do have to go to a chiropractor as well though, getting all the vertebrae pushed back into their correct position can only properly be done at a chiropractor. Now once thats done you emmediately start doing what I explained above, this will speed up you being adjusted into a better position, and then it will keep your upperback from having to get pushed back into a better position again. Hope this helps you out allot ❤️🙂
@@bulletproof1581 I know you want to help and give proper advice, but many times you can't do nothing with your back unless you go to surgery and this applies to Morbus Scheuermann disease too. I've been trying to keep my back from further deteriorating by doing many pull ups + different exercises (deadlifts and squats are also very viable if health allows it) and as years went, I can proudly say that it stoppped.
Shit free helping content and actual valuable sources used and show, all in less than a minute, that’s a top tier fitness influencer you just became the better I’ve ever seen
A really good trick to add to telling yourself to "stand up straight" is to activate your deep core. Many people know what their core is and can tense their abs for a little while but they rarely activate their pelvic floor and lower abdomen muscles. It will help your balance and posture amazingly. Bit of random video but woman explains quite well. "5 Exercises to improve balance" Indy Jamma Jones 3:07 into the video.
Awareness of your posture in general is the first step. You are already well on your way inside you to making it happen. Try a pull-up bar and let your body relax into the stretch. This for me works wonders, and with my stretching and qigong routine, I am sure i grew at least an inch or two by opening up my spinal column’s spaces. Also helps to release pain as well.
Just do I what did: Get you're parents to send you to a boarding school as a toddler which is ran by a mean and violently abusive, completely unhinged, rac*st British lady. Who will literally beat and violently train the lessons of etiquette and poise into you from a young age thus effectively guaranteeing the lessons will forever remain as part of your identity on a subconscious level... (fair warning though there's a sh*tton of trauma that comes with this method, but idk childhood trauma for straight back seems like a fair trade I guess.)
If a person doesnt understand what theyre doing is wrong then theyll never change it. Having a bad posture is seen as unattractive because a person with bad posture does not care about their physical health.
I disagree. I think people could be less sensitive. He’s giving out good advice with a spoonful of sugar, but if you take his advice you must agree it’s unattractive. It’s needles body positivity. Either love yourself or don’t and change. It’s real cringe to hear people condescended to like this.
Bro i just did this and i will not lie was tbe best feeling ive ever felt. Thank you so much. Will be doing this more often. Gotta get my posture up right i feel like i been hunching for so long i forgot how it feels to be upright.
He made another video on this same stretch on tiktok quite a while back. I work in a hospital and after every shift I do this on the elevator on my way out. The cracks that I get from between my shoulders is unreal. This stretch has changed my life. I've never been able to pop this section of my back before. So satisfying
What the fuck thats insane. My posture was ass and I was never able to fix it. I did this exercise once and it feels like the most normal thing in the world to sit straight up. For it to stay like that I will have to do it more often tho
Was just gonna say all the things they say during physical therapy for at home or work exercises made no sense or improvement this looks like it makes sense .. and my back possibly not hurt as much / become straighter 🥴
@@2GoatsInATrenchCoat the pain might not be from the posture shape as much as muscle tension at times, i.e. when drawing or on the computer and ur shoulders get strained bc the arms and neck have been tensed too long. Or standing in a pose that overworks ur lower back specifically. Idk im not a doctor but i know that my muscles hurt in those cases.
My insecurities in my teens seems to have put me down the path towards hyperhyphosis, and I gotta say you make that stretch look crazy easy, I can barely manage with just my elbows on the wall :,) I want to correct all those years of poor posture and flexibility, and this seems like a really good simple step to work towards that. Your advice is really helpful and motivating, thank you!
I had to do this in pt because of my weak joints I'm SO GLAD to see a short for it! Thanks man your doing an amazing thing for a lot of people! This exercise saved me a lot of shoulder pain from 9 years of competitive swimming
I figured out this one on my own while trying to relieve back pain and that stretch feels like heaven. You have to start slowly though especially if you're not used to moving or else it will hurt A LOT
I know right, maybe there’s some people who don’t usually keep their backs straight might be difficult, or maybe it wasn’t difficult in general. Idk depends.
This comment made me get up and do it and I scrapped my hand on a mirror mounted to the wall and now it's bleeding. 😂😂 I just thought it was important for you to know what happened due to this comment.
@@GreyKingsOfficiala rep means you do an action once, so for example lets say you do a single push up that is 1 rep. Now you do 10 pushups back to back one after another thats 10 reps. When people say sets they mean how many times you will do 10 pushups. So lets say you do 10 pushups you rest for a minute and then do another 10 you completed 2 sets of 10 reps of pushups. In the context for the video he is saying to start off with raising and lowering your arms 10 times one after another in one sitting, so 10 reps. Hopefully this helps put it into context and makes sense.
i really appreciate you acknowledging that its something to work on *if* you want to, instead of spreading misinformation abt it being bad for you or inserting any biases about what postures are 'attractive'. mad respect
David, thank you so much. In an era where everyone and their uncle are creating content, this is truly an eye opening and useful video. I will begin this exercise tomorrow. Thanks again.
That tall, noble posture feels so much better, especially when combined with low breathing. I used to slouch, and then I learned to sing. Making that adjustment is worth it.
I love this so much! Thanks for starting with how “hunched” posture is not unattractive, and for mentioning peer-reviewed articles to support your statements.
Thank you so much for saying the curve isn’t unhealthy. I hate my “tech neck” and do want to straighten my spine, but knowing it would be just for personal aesthetics takes away a lot of pressure
Unfortunately it’s not quite that simple there is a point where it’s a problem and I’m there 😢That being said pt is working wonders and it hasn’t been a big issue for me as much as of late
It is extremely unhealthy. Affects neck, lower back, hips, walking, even migraine-connected. Please don't argue or believe what you want to believe. Anything unnatural like that is nothing but bad.
It’s definitely not optimal as we age. Just think of the forces involved. We are putting more pressure on smaller surface areas when we hunch over or arch our lower back
I’m going to name a Villain Kyphosis. And his entire shtick will be that he manipulates your body and forces you into extremes of posture. He has other abilities, but he makes sure that you are stuck in whatever position feels the least natural and comfortable to you specifically at the end of any fight.
I've NEVER had a sensation in my back like that, and I train my back all the time (I'm a trade worker and would like to retire without the constant agony). I love how David is just loaded with interesting knowledge, and endless routines for varying goals. Definitely my favorite fitness influencer out there.
I'm 33 years old and in pretty decent shape, but I still hurt my back at work a couple years ago just by turning my torso in the direction opposite where I was facing....basically hyper-extended something due to low flexibility. Was out of work for a month, I got better after a lot of rest and therapy but have dealt with similar and related issues ever since. The value of having a healthy posture and a flexible spine CANNOT be overstated.... You never know you'll hurt yourself until it's too late, so you can't ever be too safe.
This is genius! It's the first exercise I've done for my curved back which feels like it's doing something! I'll be doing the daily. It's is so hard to keep your wrists and ribs in contact!
I had pretty good posture as a teenager and then I had a crush who had ‘bad’ posture and I thought he was so cute I ended up mimicking it 😂 I’m trying to get back to a better one again though because when I’m sewing all day it can become uncomfortable
I got compliments on my posture as a teen, then had twins at 20. When I say I slump, I’m not kidding, and it hurts! I’m working on it, but my core needs strengthened and it’s a whole ‘nother lifetime since I was able to stand up straight. Those twins are 22.5 years old now, and I was 20 when I had them.
@@Empyrean_Enigma her core stability was obviously negatively impacted by birthing twins man show some consideration. It’s not just the case of “stop slumping” when it takes deliberate consideration and isolated training to re-establish a better natural posture.
@@johannesjrgensen440 you’re 100% right, when pregnant it’s like your body wants to curl towards your belly, and it takes so much energy from you to be pregnant, and then when you have the babies, you hold them to your breast and your posture naturally curved towards your baby. It’s unnatural to sit straight while holding a baby.
Yup, playing position was definitely a thing for me too. It didn’t stick for the most part but I still do it when playing my instruments twice a month, lol
Nah man I played trombone. You think anyone sees us back there? I look like the hunchback of notre dame due to putting more hours into video games than sleeping for 20 years.
I love your content so much!! Non-judgmental, without assumptions and informative. Would you ever make content with some stretching suggestions for pregnant people?
@@Aushirye yes it does All factors being equal everybody will prefer a person with a good posture over the one with a bad one But of course if you are a gigachad with bad posture people will like you more than a ugly mf with good posture
This.. is so hard 😀😀😀😀 Trying to keep my back straight is making me already tired. but man, i have to do this. not only good posture is very helpful to stop my back aching like hell everytime i take notes on school, but good posture totally makes you attractive and confident To all the hunched backs out there trying to fix their backs , Goodluck to us!
I wish I could like this video a thousand times. ✨💪🏼 Thank you for bringing me hope. I used to be much more aware of these kinds of things, and my body in general, but the depression-anxiety-depression-anxiety-trauma-depression-anxiety tidal-wave-laden storm full of rollercoasters of the last years has worn me out and kept me OUT of my body. Didn't feel safe or welcome to be here. I have been doing about 1-3 of your short videos per day for the last few days, and your wholesome kindness, clear, concise way of communicating knowledge, and seemingly pure intention feels so soothing, inspiring and helpful. You are an excellent teacher (and learner, obviously, because even if you've discovered this information completely on your own, outside of any school, you clearly embody it). Those are exactly the kind of people I seek to learn from. Many thanks to you for all you've been doing, and to the YTs for recommending you. You're doing a great job, kind sir. I'm looking forward to getting back to, and staying, flexy.
Man you can't just completely knock my misconceptions about myself out of the park like that, I can't be sitting here crying about a profound moment of personal growth just because of a RU-vid short
am i rly the only 1 who didnt find any difficulty during the whole process? i mean i felt like i was doing it wrong watched the vid again did again and no difference ig my ribs like the wall
Could you do a routine for those of us with disabilities that keep us from standing or placing weight on our legs? Disabled folks like to stay flexi, too! Especially if sitting in a wheelchair for long periods each day. Something we could do on the floor and stretch all the important stuff?
Great idea, I'd love to see that. Excercises for after sitting for long periods when you cant bear weight on the legs would be a really great topic 🙏👍👍
Thank you for this, I think it’s really going to help prevent my band director from yelling at me about my posture and my friends making fun of me for only being 5’2” lol
Your high its fine your friends isn't friends its enemies and jelouse dont spend your time with enemies can make you feel bad and you are okay 👍 i haved friends like that and now i brake up with toxic friends and i feel bad only for this years i was iand i am the stringer and smarter and extremely beautiful and bad friend make me feel 50% loser same times now i know this friend its losers extremely losers and didnt have what i was and what i have i was the stronger and smarter and extremely beautiful child and this people its pathetic
Kyphosis is bad because it compresses your chest cavity, reducing lung air volume intake and increasing chest pressures. This adds strain on your lungs and heart, which leads to many health issues. There is also nerve irritation in some individuals.
Posture does have an effect on your mental state. If you stand up tall and straight this signifies confidence and thus will make you appear, and actually be more confident.
@@GodMaxDrinkerofTea this, my middle school friends are one of the worst friends i've ever had, if they can even be called "friends" in the first place. But after enduring middle school i got actual good ones in high school, they're far more friendlier and less anoying than my old ones, just endure it all and you'll eventually find that one person you can truly call a friend
@@kvothe6690 tbh i'm not sure but it might be easier for me because i've been doing exercises to have a better posture for a while. Maybe you need to start with another exercise first till you get used to it and then try again
