To strengthen the back muscles and abdominals, 2 - 3 times a day (before meals) up to the wall so that the back of the head, shoulders, pelvis and heels touched her. To avoid clearance between the wall and the lower back, pull your stomach (especially lower stomach), and if you have a tendency to slouch, bend your arms so that the fingers touched the shoulders, the elbows of the body (the clearance between the wall and the lower back should not increase).
The duration of this exercise (standing from wall) 60 seconds 2 - 3 minutes. Increase the time of exercise gradually. Can breathe arbitrarily. After “standing the wall”, walk around the room, alternately shaking hands and feet. Then walk with good posture, as if the same stand against the wall. Breathe arbitrarily.
During the day - standing, sitting - the neck should be held upright. In the sitting position it is necessary to rely on the back of a chair.
Exercise on restoration of good posture should be performed within 3 to 4 weeks.
Weakness of the back muscles causes curvature of the spine. Violation of the natural curvature of the spine, as previously mentioned, hampers the functions of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, causing the displacement of the digestive organs. This is why you should regularly monitor your posture: don’t slouch, keep upright neck, the lower abdomen a little to pick up.
To correct defects of posture will help below are exercises that should be performed 2 - 3 times daily before meals or 2 hours after a meal.
Exercise 2. Standing several times to inhale-exhale, thus activating the exhalation, i.e., pulling the belly in the second half of exhalation.
Then after the inhale, as you exhale, sit on your heels, take the position shown in Fig. 1A. Subsequent breath to do on his knees with his hands down, as you exhale again, repeat the posture shown in the figure. So 6 to 8 times in a row.
Exercise 3. Sit between the heels, as shown in Fig. 1B, the hands bent back, palms folded fingers up (neck vertically). Stay in this position for 10 - 30 seconds, then stand up, walk again and to get into a pose. Repeat 6- 8- 12 time.
This exercise can be performed while walking. Strengthening back muscles to alternate this exercise standing and sitting.
Exercise 4. At first standing and then while walking to join the fingers as shown in Fig. 1B. Every 5 - 10 seconds it is necessary to change the position of the hands. If there are lateral curvature of the spine, then you should check at what position of the hands curvature of the spine decreases, and in this position to perform the exercise repeatedly. This will allow you to quickly eliminate lateral defects of the spine. To breathe arbitrarily.
Exercise 5. Sitting on the Mat, as shown in Fig. 1 g (legs bent, feet stacked, neck upright, chin slightly picked up), breathe arbitrarily shallow.
This exercise is useful for strengthening the tonic muscles of the back. In the beginning, until my muscles got stronger, every 20 - 30 seconds of tension, sit down and relax.
To improve posture, in addition to the development of the back muscles, need to strengthen the abdominal muscles. If you do not train them, they become weak and do not provide the necessary intra-abdominal pressure, which, in turn, supports the abdominal organs in normal position. This leads to the fact that the abdominal organs like “spilling” out - formed spherical belly. The bodies of more and sink a little, losing his / her job performance. Moreover, the fat is deposited most often in the abdomen. To counter this, it is necessary along with the implementation of the above-described exercises specifically to strengthen the abdominal muscles. You can do it during a slow walk.
Exercise 6. 2 steps to make a shallow breath (pooch belly) and the next 2 steps - exhale, pull the stomach much from epigastric fossa to the groin. The exercise is simple, but initially it will require willpower. Repeat the exercise 2 times a day (going to and from work) 10 times, gradually increasing the number of reps to 30 and then to 60.
In addition to strengthening the abdominal muscles, this exercise provides a mild massage to the organs located in the abdominal cavity, stimulates peristalsis. This exercise is very useful suffering from constipation and poor digestion.
