Good posture is a great way to maintain your body's natural mechanics. Attempt to assume and maintain good posture throughout the day. Treat this as an ongoing meditation on spatial body awareness.
- Plant feet shoulder width apart
- Feet pointed straight out, in front of you
- "Screw your feet into the floor" by applying gentle rotating pressure (see pic below)
- Squeeze your glutes gently
- Squeeze your abdominal muscles gently
- Raise your head to look straight ahead
- Rotate straight arms so that palms face forward and shoulders are properly engaged (see pic below)
- Relax arms but keep shoulders engaged
That's it! You should be comfortable but slightly activated and engaged!
