Core Strengthening

I spoke a few days ago about the importance I have learned first hand about core strengthening, so everyday this week, I have decided to list a few ways to do that while fixing your posture.

STRENGTH TRAINING

Seated Stability Ball Row
Posture Payback: It strengthens upper back and shoulders to keep them from rounding forward.
How To Do It: Sit on a Theraputic ball with your knees bent, feet flat on the floor, and your neck in line with your back. Grip a 5-pound dumbbell in each hand (make sure if you have had any back injuries you consult with your therapist or physician to find what weight you should begin with. I had to begin with 1-pound and have increased to 3-pound weights so far) with your palms facing each other and your elbows bent at 90-degree angles. Row the weights to your sides, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
Do three sets of 10.
