What The Corrective Exercise Santa Cruz CA Really Means

By Donna Wood


Correcting your posture is very important for maintaining your good health. The truth is that posture has more effects on your health than you think. Of course, some of your typical problems with posture are the usual back pains and neck pains. Some people with poor posture can also suffer from headaches. These health issues are only the tip of the iceberg, however, with the corrective exercise Santa Cruz CA, you can get quick and permanent pain relief.

So the question is then how can you correct your posture? Well, correcting your posture can be a slow process, especially if you've had poor posture for a long period of time. Especially if you have not paid attention to your posture from early on in life.

The best way to get rid of your gut is by doing sit-ups. Sit ups work by exercising your abdominal muscles which then get stronger and hold your gut in place. This will also give you that stellar abdomen that you have been dreaming about and lessen the weight on your spine.

For example, if you are doing a sit up (crunch) is your core engaged and do you feel your tummy muscles working? Or are your neck, shoulders and lower back doing more of the work. Depending on the individual's fitness and muscle imbalances will depend on their ability and position to perform this exercise.

Exercise might not be enough, however, for some people. Sometimes, you might need a crutch of some sort to help you correct your posture. There are many different devices on the market also which can help you correct your posture. Some of these devices include braces, straps, and other posture corrective devices.

If you do not have a swimming pool, take up walking instead. I think the secret to getting results from your exercises is to make it a part of your day, every day! Don't have time to schedule a regular exercise time? Make the most of opportunities that present themselves everyday. Park your car at the other side of the shopping mall and walk to the shops. Get off your bus the stop before you need to get off and walk to the next stop.

Walking, and doing simple exercises in a medium that gives resistance to all the muscles, making them work harder! This regular routine has allowed me to climb two flights of stairs without becoming breathless. Something I could not do prior to taking up swimming!

The same goes for a bench press. It's a very simple exercise in practice but very different in reality. The chest can be difficult to activate when attempting a barbell bench press. Arms, back, shoulders can all be used in this exercise leaving the chest the last muscle to activate. In some cases, I have had to put my clients in some quite unusual positions in order to get them to 'feel' their chest activating and then move into correct alignment gradually. As a result, I get much better results and eventually get my clients moving in the right way.
