The Benefits Corrective Exercise Santa Cruz CA

By Donna Wood


Getting to middle age rings alarm bells for all of us. The forty, fiftieth and sixtieth birthdays arrive unbelievably fast. We all wonder where the years have gone! We wonder too, why the firm well-shaped body has degenerated into a sagging abdomen, skin that stretching to the limits from overweight, and joints that complain whenever we get out of bed in the morning. But you dont need to worry anymore, the corrective exercise Santa Cruz CA is designed to take care of your needs.

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.

Well, first, you might want to try an exercise regime. Exercises are very important in improving your posture. What is great about the internet is that there are many different exercise programs out there that are affordable. There are even some posture correction software programs available that allow you to install on your computer either at home or at the office. These programs allow you to watch an exercise video on your computer and follow those exercises right there. A great thing for those of you who spend long hours at the office on an average work day.

Typically, posture correcting exercises are exercises that are designed to strengthen your core. Your core are the muscles that hold your spine in place. This means that you need to constantly keep your spine muscles in shape and keep them strong.

For those of you who have that gut you are trying to get rid of, you definitely want to get rid of it. Your gut puts a lot of weight on your mid and lower back, affecting your posture as well. As your gut sags down, the weight of all that fat will pull your spine inward, causing to have back pains and even Sciatica pains.

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.

When you are doing and exercise concentrate on activating the muscles that you intend to work and play around with your positioning until you find what works for you. If you are doing a chest press, your shoulders are taking the strain and you are in what would traditionally be the correct position, it's not the correct position for you so change it until you find what works, and work towards correct technique.

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.
