The 12-Minute Better Posture Workout

By , Jessica Smith, Certified Personal Trainer
Your mom was right--standing up straight really is good for you! Better posture can also help you look taller and slimmer instantly (no Spanx required). With all the sitting and slouching we do while typing, texting and driving, maintaining good posture can require a little extra work. Join me for this equipment-free, full-length workout video designed to develop strength, flexibility and proper alignment in the postural muscles of the neck, shoulders, back and core. A mat is recommended for the floor work (though a carpeted surface should work fine). 
 
Oh, and be sure to keep an eye out for my workout partner, Peanut the French bulldog, who makes an appearance during this workout!
