Hey, thanks for this congenial reply to my fairly rude comment :)
So, I bring up the military thing because of a roommate of mine, but if I google “military posture tips,” I get this page, which basically says that if you’re hunched forward, you need to stretch the muscles causing that force, and exercise the muscles that naturally oppose it. In short, get a stronger upper and lower back! They also give specific recommendations (albeit mostly geared towards body-weight exercises easy for a home reader to do).
I had a quick read of the article, it’s not wrong (although I strongly argue that the strength for the abdomen comes from the rectus abdominis muscles rather than the lower back/lumbar muscles) - but I’m more right! The 5 main muscles of movement, the key to doing everything else, stretching, releasing re-balancing.
The expression “bony knobs” made up for any potential rudeness btw.
I am both a) desperate for the attention and b) mentally thinking ‘bring it on bitches’ so please do!
Something so obvious to me know but totally grounded in some basic anatomy if anyone cares to try to connect body and mind!
