It just never occurs to me! If you come up with a posture challenge, I'm in! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-good-posture-3#post-1671072 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 07:56:55 +0000 mamimami 1671072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to have great posture and always got compliments on it, but after breastfeeding two kids I got used to slumping over too much! I am working on it though... Practice makes perfect. The most you focus on that, the more it comes naturally! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-good-posture-3#post-1671028 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 06:48:06 +0000 dc yoga bee 1671028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had bad posture before starting chiropractic therapy for low back pain. She did all this analysis on me, and I tilted forward so much my head weighed 55lbs, when it should only weigh like 14lbs I think. After six weeks of biweekly adjustments (so 3x) and daily exercises she gave me (which I remembered to do only few times a week), I improved my posture by 30%!!!!! She was so proud of me! And, no back pain. Now I'm on maintenance, but keep up with weekly exercises to improve. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-good-posture-3#post-1669244 Fri, 30 May 2014 14:09:45 +0000 sorrycharlie 1669244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not so much. I make an effort to try to stand up. someone today posted something on facebook along the lines of how when you stand straight, you only have 13 (?) lbs on your neck. but the more you slouch, the more weight is carried on your neck. I wish I could remember who posted it so I could share! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-good-posture-3#post-1669187 Fri, 30 May 2014 13:49:21 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1669187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Excercising really improved mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-good-posture-3#post-1669186 Fri, 30 May 2014 13:49:21 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1669186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did gymnastics for 13 years, so it was instilled in me at a young age, it I've noticed I've started slouching as I get older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-good-posture-3#post-1669178 Fri, 30 May 2014 13:46:50 +0000 Ajsmommy 1669178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and it's the same and mslipgloss.. my mom ALWAYS told me to sit up straight and stand up straight.. she seriously instilled it into me! and I'll probably do the same to LO, sigh... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-good-posture-3#post-1669162 Fri, 30 May 2014 13:40:32 +0000 PixieStix 1669162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes? When I'm in public I have pretty good posture but when at home with the kiddo or on the PC I tend to slouch over. At times it's my larger chest that reminds me to sit up. Who needs boobs to hang lower than they should? I certainly don't need extra help there. haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-good-posture-3#post-1669149 Fri, 30 May 2014 13:37:04 +0000 MsLipGloss 1669149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: It does indeed! And I also agree that a strong core makes good posture all but automatic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-good-posture-3#post-1669138 Fri, 30 May 2014 13:34:24 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1669138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: Ooh that's a great one!! </p> <p>Everyone says great posture will make you lose 10 pounds and gain 2 inches in height instantly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-good-posture-3#post-1669130 Fri, 30 May 2014 13:30:45 +0000 septca 1669130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes.</p> <p>My mother, ballet... but the real secret is that I sit on an exercise ball instead of a chair at work. All day, every day. It forces you to sit up straight and really works your core and lower back muscles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-good-posture-3#post-1669129 Fri, 30 May 2014 13:30:18 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1669129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: my friend had a mother like that too and she also has perfect posture! My mother was te exact opposite. She kind of celebrates lazy. She just posted a poem called "dust if you must " . it basically says you can dust or you can enjoy life, which would be cute if she were just a bit messy but their place is scary hoarder messy and should be declared a landfill. I can't blame her now though. Now it's all on me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-good-posture-3#post-1669121 Fri, 30 May 2014 13:27:08 +0000 Jenn23 1669121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is awful. I slouch a lot, but when I catch myself I correct it. But it doesn't last long. Would love tips on how to permanently fix it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-good-posture-3#post-1669120 Fri, 30 May 2014 13:26:49 +0000 Woolly Mammoth 1669120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's all about core/back strength. My posture is always better when I exercise regularly, especially strength training. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-good-posture-3#post-1669115 Fri, 30 May 2014 13:25:06 +0000 cmomma17 1669115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Secret is a childhood spent in the dance studio! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-good-posture-3#post-1669109 Fri, 30 May 2014 13:23:38 +0000 MsLipGloss 1669109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! My secret? Mostly, a mother who was vigilant about enforcing her no slouching rule, and a distant second would be ballet! People frequently assume I am taller than what I am, and I get compliments on it frequently at work. I didn't realize people notice posture as much as they do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-good-posture-3#post-1669103 Fri, 30 May 2014 13:21:33 +0000 snowjewelz 1669103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all :sad: I sit in the office all day and catch myself slouching! And I already have this thing on my chair to help me not slouch too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-good-posture-3#post-1669099 Fri, 30 May 2014 13:19:48 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1669099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every time I see a candid photo of myself I am horrified by my posture! I am on a new initiative to try to improve my posture through yoga and better self awareness. </p> <p>Do you have good posture? If so, what's your secret? If not, join me in improving and stealing others tricks. </p>
