We are continually under gravity pressure. Did you know that the typical head weighs about 10% of your body weight? That is some pressure on the rest of the body to keep things in alignment. The typical posture of the untrained is one of head forward, rounded upper back and protruding stomach, not particularly attractive to be honest. It is NOT age, it is training. See below (our famous model!) for two great exercises to arrest the pull of gravity. It is true that the ground is pulling us all back in eventually, do what you can to keep tall and slow down the inexorable draw towards the dirt. Fight it I say!
Motivation
Use it or lose it…..
Maybe some of us have kind of dabbled in health and fitness. You know ‘The Amazing Watermelon Diet of the Stars’ in the weekly mag, or ‘Pilates is the answer to that flat belly you’ve always dreamt of’ on the prime time ‘health show’ or perhaps it was ‘Go hard or go home’ flyer of the ubiquitous 6 week challenge at the local gym that hooked you in, albeit until it got too hard or just finished.
