Do you have good posture?

Question

I don't. My posture sucks lol. I'm always slouched over. I think part of it comes from constantly shrinking into myself when I was in grade school to hide my boobs lol. And now I'm 33 with back issues!

I actually have a good posture, but the reason as to why is very interesting.

Since I have a backpack and a long umbrella, sometimes it's too big to just carry with me everywhere I go. So, I decide to just sheath it between my back and the backpack.

This has actually forced me to straighten my back a lot so it doesn't feel uncomfy against my back, and I've been able to mostly avoid having bad posture because of how much I usually do that.

I now sit up straight and stand up straight a lot. I dunno if this is the actual reason as to why I have good posture, but it worked for me.

I don't and probably never will. I was born with completely feet and off center ankles. So stretching and strength training every morning has been a normal thing for years. Just to keep my back and ankles from becoming more of a mess. Also a really good pair of boots and custom inserts help as well.

Since my BR three years ago and no longer having to carry all that weight on my chest, my posture has improved immensely, and the hunch in my spine is now hardly noticeable.

Yeah.. the perks of being a gymnastics girl in my younger years

Sonorous · Answer

Yes when stanging & lisfting things. But no when sitting. I have no idea why.

NathanDavis · Answer

yes... being just above 6ft tall, it's very easy to get lower back pain if you have a bad posture, add to that the fact I messed up my back big time when I was early 20's...

don't want any of that again, good posture is a must/good habit for me to have...

Naydyonov · Answer

Mine is not amazing. I generally don't like to sit. I prefer to stand or to lie down.
At a restaurant, sitting face to face from a friend, I maintained quite excellent posture.
However, when at university, where I'm using my laptop (leaning in / looking down), my posture is trash 50% of the time and still quite excellent 50% of the time. The reason for this excellence is that once my back hurts enough from the bad posture, it is no longer a conscious decision to have good posture. Non-good posture is highly uncomfortable, so I'm forced into good posture.

TheBMG · Answer

So my mom did posture contests in high school. That translated to me getting told how to stand up straight. I've been told to relax a time or two when hanging out with friends. Also, I'm a PT so I do posture and body mechanics training all the time. It does make a difference to have good posture.

vald9inches · Answer

The human spine is not a straight line. The education system from elementary to high school has caused untold suffering and ptsd and back problems for billions of people with their Sadistic torture devices they called chairs and forced children to sit in

ikEVERYTHING · Answer

Yeah, I'm tallish, not crazy tall, just 6-6'1, smth like that. Normal for tall people, I had scoliosis when I was young. Not terrible but it was there, I had to learn to fix my own posture and eventually did, especially when I started lifting n all. Now I have pretty good posture I like to think.

lightbulb27 · Answer

my girlfriend notices me slouching and encourages me. Im work on it. it's weak muscles and force fitting from 1/2 century of slouching on dirt bikes, computers, bicycles. I think mostly computers are the issue. I'm trying to do as much back bends as I can so I don't turn back into a monkey... or worse... an ameoba.

OneManOnly01 · Answer

Yes I do, that’s because I was always slouched over back when I was 12 and some made fun of me so since then I always consciously started standing up tall, then they started making fun of me for overdoing it, then I adjusted it a bit more and consciously kept good posture all the time for over a year until I was 15

Now I stand with good posture subconsciously but part of it may also be due to the fact that I have a great physique now compared to my skinny 13 year old self

Lliam · Answer

Mine's great when I'm upright. I tend to slouch back when I sit, though.

When I was 13 or 14 (the summer before 9th grade), I started learning to surf. In 10 grade, I had quite a few surfer friends. I noticed their impeccable posture and became conscious of my own. It became a natural habit.

Both men and women with great posture look ideal.

Massageman · Answer

Only when I Think about it (is it good).

The irony about it is , as a Massage Therapist, we preach about good posture and we are taught the proper "body mechanics" (posture while giving a massage). But after almost 30 years of doing the body work, it starts taking its toll, no matter HOW hard one may try to be proper.

The_Shadow_Dweller · Answer

Oh I give special attention to postures. I have seen first-hand what a bad posture can do to a photo. Never again. Always use table for laptop or PC.

Anonymous · Answer

Mine does too at times, I don't like walking the way a woman is supposed to walk around certain people which is; knockers up, back straight, and swing your hips, because gross ugly people check me out in an uncomfortable way. I have a past of being violated so I don't like it.

Nightroads · Answer

Broke my L3 in high school. Since then if I don't use proper posture it actively hurts. Pain is a powerful motivator.

Datboi65 · Answer

I would say most of us don't. However, there's one excercise you can use to fix your posture, that is "face pulls", which works out your upper back. A stronger upper back makes it less likely for someone to slouch over, plus you will make Athlean-X proud!

Hairylegs222 · Answer

One of the things people compliment me on is my posture. I always make sure I'm lifting, pushing, walking, sitting, etc in correct healthy forms.

MCheetah · Answer

Yes and no. I always try to avoid slouching, cause I'm already short, but because of my back and my shoes sometimes hurting, I think I unintentionally end up slouching anyway.
