When you start being more conscience of your posture you will began to notice what a workout it is. For those of us who work and it requires that we sit for hours and hours at a time. You should sit with a straight back with your thighs straight and legs bent at the knees and feet flat on the floor. While doing this feel the parts of the body that this good sitting posture is working and notice your breathing. Whenever you are sitting try to make sure that you keep this posture and you will train your body, and you will notice weight loss and toning. You will began to sweat by just sitting.
For those of us who stand all day or for better part of the day. You should wear good comfortable shoes for leg, back and feet support. And wear stockings to help hold you and help blood flow. Stand with your back straight with your navel pulled in and your tail bone tucked and breathing should be deep. This is not going to be easy when you first start out, but it will not take long to train your body to get use to it. And you will began to sweat, tone and lose weight. What we have not been taught about exercise is the proper form of exercise we should have in order to get the best results. The best form of exercise is walking...form being the operative word here. If you are doing this form and you are consistent with it, you will working every part of your body, and I do mean every part. And getting very pleasing results.
If you walk for the most part of your day, every time you move you should use the walking form. Your shoulders should be pulled back, your chest raised, your neck straight and head held high. Lift the upper of your body from the waist with your back straight and walk and swing those arms if you can. When walking try to over exaggerate your movement from the waist, by turning from left to right adding a slight twist from the waist and slightly cross your legs in front as you walk. I promise you you will feel the workout and be sore from your movements. If you are at work your friends may wonder what you are doing but when they see the results they will soon join you.
For core strengthening I am not a big advocate for lying on the floor and raising the body (crunches). It will give you a strong core, but it will not last long if you take long breaks from exercising. Another reason I am not a big fan of crunches is when you lie down your lungs collapse. How will you be able to pull in the much needed air in the body to help oxygenate your cells and give you energy. Core strength does not come from daily exercise or going to the gym. To prove my point lets say that you exercise daily by going to the gym. And as we all do get lazy and don't feel like going, we break for a while. You will see your posture and breathing change. But if you train yourself how to have the best form you will always keep that perfect posture and continue to lose weight and tone. Because your body will continue to burn and tone, because that is the way you have trained your body.
Learn the perfect form first then add additional exercise to it if you like. But once you start the perfect form for your daily exercise you will not need to go to the gym or have a trainer. You will be your own trainer. And exercising everyday something you thought that you would never do.
I will have a exercise video coming soon to demonstrate these movements.
