Improve your posture (1)
If you look around, you’ll likely see you’re not the only one with rounded shoulders, slouched forwards with a droopy head.Former England goalkeeper Joe Hart, who has stunned fans with his poise during the Euros while giving his verdict from the sidelinesThe 37-year-old was described as having the “best posture in the world” in comments on X/Twitter, while others hailed him for “giving the nation a masterclass in good posture this summer”.
When sitting at a desk, leaning forwards with your face close to the screen can cause your back to round, Sammy warns.“This is when neck aches and upper and lower back pain can happen,” says Sammy. “Crossing your legs or sitting on one leg is also a big no-no, as is slouching on the sofa watching TV.”
Here, Sammy helps you sort out your bad posture habits so you can stand up tall just like Joe, Taylor and Grace.INSTEAD of being upright, ROUNDED shoulders roll and point forwards. Sammy states these can develop from a bad sitting posture, “If you are reading a book when sitting, bring the book closer to your eyes – a little less than arm’s length – instead of pulling your head closer to the book.IF your bum sticks out it’s likely caused by an anterior pelvic tilt, due to weak glutes and tight hip flexors, which are muscles at the front of the hips.“It can also lead to stomach bulging, groin pain, hamstring issues, and of course back pain.
“Leaning on one side will lead to muscle imbalances as well as muscle and joint pain. It may affect the way you walk. Weaknesses in hip abductor muscles may mean that you start to walk with more of a side-to-side motion.”Sammy says: “When you are exercising, pay attention to the side that takes on less of the work.
Lean in. This may feel unusual at first – but you’ll feel a stretch. When you do breathe into it – allowing your muscles to relax.A neck hump can also signal an added pressure on your upper back as it tries to compensate for weak muscles around it.Take a step back so that your arms are extended.Keeping your neck neutral, sink into the stretch but try not to let your head drop as you are doing this stretch.
