5 Benefits of Posture Exercises (Client Asked for This Numbered Format)

1. Better Athletic Performance 

The better your posture the better your form, the better your form the better you will perform.  It is no secret that many of the top athletes perform posture exercises because of the competitive advantage.  When you have correct posture your body will not fatigue as quickly and help increase your stamina. 

2. Reduced Back Pain/chance of injury 

When you sit in a chair all day, do not regular exercise; even do too many crunches your posture is affected negatively, causing your spine to round.  This puts more stress on your muscles, joints and nerves. This often results in a back pain, neck pain and even knee pain. 

3. Better Breathing 

When you have correct posture it allows for deeper breathing.  Deep breathing has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety.  Also when your breathing is correct you will also recover quickly in sports. 

4. More Attractive 

It is said that 55% of all our communication is body language, 38% vocal tonality and 7% words.  So in others words you communicate a lot through your posture.  People with better posture in numerous studies have been seen as more attractive, more confident, and more charismatic.  This is the X factor that can help your all areas of your life.  

5. More confidence 

Having better posture will make you more confident.  Your physiology effects the way you think and feel.  For instance, right now smile and try to feel angry.  You won’t be able to do it.  When you smile you will feel good because your physiology tells your brain that you are happy.  I once heard a story that I found very interesting about how they train matadors to be confident under the intense condition of being charged at by half a ton bull.  The only thing the matador was trained to do was to walk tall with perfect posture which they referred to as the walk of the matador.  When you have that kind of posture your body reacts and you will feel more confident.
