Improving Your Posture: Part 2

December 22nd, 2007 at 12:01am Under Exercises

As I said in Improving Your Posture: Part 1, keeping a straight back when you go to set up for your shot is one of the key essentials in posture. I explained and described one of the exercises I have used and had some success with. But now I am going to share another exercise I have used that is a little bit old-fashioned, but works very well.

For this exersice, all you will need is a small, soft item like a 6×6 bean bag. Once you get your bean bag, place it on the top and center of your head. Then, while standing, pretend as though you’re pushing the bean bag to the sky. This should get you in proper posture with a straight back. While doing this, walk around your hallways in your home for a little bit, and when your feeling ready and advanced, walk up and down the stairs doing this. After trying this for a couple of days, I have made some major improvement. Also, if you do not have a 6×6 bean bag, the only other thing that I know you could do is use a book. But books aren’t very soft so they may not be as comfortable as a bean bag.

Good luck everyone! Hope this exercise works out for you.

Improving Your Posture: Part 1

December 21st, 2007 at 02:59am Under Exercises

When you are setting up to take your shot, you must set up in proper posture. Part of proper posture is keeping your back straight instead of curved. So when  you are leaning over, you should be able to put a club vertically on your back and have it touching every part of your back it crosses over. But keeping a straight back can be very hard for some people like myself. So to figure out how to fix the problem, I have researched and gotten doctors opinions.

One thing that I discovered and have been doing myself for a few days now involves using an exercise ball. All you need to do is bring your exercise ball to any area in your house, and just sit upright on it using good posture. Also make sure that your shoulders aren’t crouched forward. I personally like to do this in front of the TV and just watch my favorite TV show while I am doing this. It gives me some entertainment.

 Stay tuned for Part 2 which will be published soon where I will share another trick you can use to straighten your back in your posture.
