Stand Up Straight For Cripes Sake


I am part of posture police. Its similar to the morality police in Saudi Arabia except my focus is posture.

OK. women, your posture completely sucks, it blows.

I think it starts with women when they are in their teens. They get all self conscious about breasts for at least three reasons:

- They hate being stared at by gawking teens and lecherous old men.

- They are self conscious about not being some kind of Barbie doll perfected robotron being and they feel insecure.

- They feel the need to protect themselves.

As a result, they slouch their shoulders to try to hide themselves. Consequently a whole host of poor posture elements take hold - bad back, craning neck, misaligned feet, not to mention a passive type of presentation even though they may very well be sparkling intelligent, bright, and brilliant.

So, get it together - pin the shoulder blades down to help the sternum go up and the shoulders to straighten out wide. Let your head come up and stop craning. Align your feet straight ahead and under your hips. Tuck the caboose down to help straighten out the lower spine.

Thank you, you will look great.
