hi guys. my years of being an ugly scrawny nerd have passed since i graduated, although i'm still pretty scrawny and ugly... and nerdy... T_T lol jk!!
anyway, now that my hair flutters in the wind and the sunlight bounces off my beautiful smile, causing all the girls in the area to swoon, i have only my bad posture to slow me down in my quest for being a gorgeous person.
so!! since i figure it's a pretty common thing on computer nerd introverts like us, i'd like to know if you guys have any idea how to fix bad posture, like exercises, etc. i'm not looking for an answer like "stand up straight", this just makes me sore after a prolonged period of time. thanks!!
Firstly getting female attention has a little to do with posture, there are more influential variables. But posture to get better posture u away from the computer. its as simple as that. More time u spend on computer the more back problems. hit the Gym strengthen innner core muscles, become Alpha male. and u will win girls and have a a straight back. gym takes comitment.
i think posture is very important in making first impressions with females, it shows confidence! plus it shows them that i'm a tall motherfucker and i can dominate them no problem
I don't really think it's helped my posture that much, because it really depends on how my legs feel on any given day how well balanced I am. I've been leaning heavily left and forward the past few days because my legs hurt from all the exercises. -_-
Not really a serious suggestion- but I almost feel obligated to make a snarky comment because it nags me every day about my posture. Are you talking about standing or sitting (or both?). I did a quick check in the mirror and I don't really seem to have any problems while standing, but I know I do while sitting.
sleep on a harder mattress, find an ergonomic chair, actually lean back on said ergonomic chair.
ofc remind yourself of not hunching over the comp, but if you have a good chair, you can put it closer to the comp and leaning back is probably more comfortable than hunching over anyway.
Kyphosis is fairly easy to fix BUT BUT BUT you must be committed to it.
Generally, there's a few notable things about kyphosis which are: 1. Forward head translation (viewed from the side) 2. Rounded shoulders 3. Curvature of the thoracic spine
#1 is fixed by tightening your neck flexors (mostly sternocleidomastoid) and stretching out the muscles in the back of your neck (traps, levator scap, etc.).
#2 is fixed by doing exercises that involve scapular retraction such as any type of rowing activity -- pendlay rows, machine rows, bent over rows, front lever pullups, etc. In conjunction, the CHEST and anterior shoulders should be stretched. You can do this in a doorway with arms out wide at right angles and the stepping forward to get a good chest stretch.
#3 is fixed through stretching of the t-spine. This can be accomplished, for example, by getting a foam roll and lying on top of it (this will also help with scap retraction/chest stretch). Overhead squats are also some great mobility work and also helpful through doing supermans on the ground or hip extensions focusing on squeezing your spinal erectors.
However, the post important thing to note is that you MUST focus on posture all of the time. I fixed mine in a couple of days by constantly reminding myself ever 10 or so minutes (however you need to...) to fix my posture. Once you get in the habit of doing it, it will come naturally and you don't have to worry about it as much. If you do this along with the exercises above you should have no problem fixing it very quickly.
And yes, as travis said if you start holding a better posture you WILL be sore for a couple of days most likely. This is good and means your muscles are getting used to better/correct positions if you are doing it right.
start going to the swimming pool as it may help you in your posture. maybe walking witha backpack which will indicate stgaight up walking meditation or/and yoga.
