Tip 11 Stop to Breathe

StrongPosture® Tip 11: Posture Break – Breathe Deeply

Posture and Breathing

Nowadays many people sit an average of 13 hours a day.  Sitting folded in front of a computer or desk reduces your body awareness. Meanwhile, just like clay, over time muscles, ligaments and other soft tissue are molding your body, and folding you into weak posture.

Poor posture isn’t just about neck and back pain. When your chest is folded, the lungs are compressed, restricting your ability to take a deep breath.

“Breathing is the most important motion,” Dr. Steven Weiniger

Try this Breath Test

  • Sit down and type an email (or text) on your phone
  • While you’re typing, breathe in
  • Take note of how much air you can take in

Breath Test with StrongPosture®

  • Sit down and scoot your bottom back in the chair
  • Lift your shoulders up, roll them back, and drop them down as you lift your upper body upright
  • Level your head and sit tall
  • Take a deep breath, and again note how much air you take in

You’ll find strengthening posture literally relieves breathing difficulty and allows you to breathe in more air. More oxygen to the brain helps reduce stress, improve your mental clarity and gives you more energy.

Remember what a difference your posture makes when breathing, not only when sitting, but when standing and moving as well.

“The test is the exercise, and the exercise is the test.” Vladimir Janda
