Today I got to thinking about posture…… my trainer is always going on about good form, lift light weights like they are heavy, engage the core, breath tense, snap yadda yadda yadda.

A work out is as much mental as it is physical.  Thing is when it all comes together is works.. who knew!!.  Eventually after repeating , improving and increasing the form almost becomes second nature so this made me think about my day to day life. 

How I hold myself when I sit at work, when I walk, when I am just generally relaxing.  The years have made my posture lazy I don’t have abs that stay engaged they relax like the before photo on those control pants adverts.

I am by no means a specialist but it occurs to me that if you don’t carry yourself properly day to day you are putting strain on your joints that overtime will give you those aches and pains that stop you from being active because it hurts.  Do you see the vicious circle?

The only thing is nobody in day to day life can tell you if you are moving properly if you are holding your insides correctly. 

So my question is to those fit people out there ……

Do you have a relaxed state or are you muscles so well trained your gluts, quads and core are naturally tight pulling the structure into the optimal athletic posture?. 

Its like watching runners, there is a right and wrong way to do it isn’t there.?… well who teaches you that stuff? Can you recondition your body to relax but still with form or am I condemned to a life of constantly ?

Its a question blog today I hope if anybody reads this and they are in the know they will maybe drop a comment on it and share….
