for example the

rotator cuff behind our shoulder, hips and

abdominals for the lower spine and neck

muscles at the back of our neck are important

for good posture. Ignoring these muscles would be

dangerous to your body. We must ensure that these

muscles are contracting and not relaxing. Your body

will thank you if you exercise those muscles at least

15 minutes a day. Hanging on a bar, neck and hip

stretches are a few examples

of exercise to keep those specific muscles active.

It is therefore advisable to maintain posture. We look

better, feel more confident and our body is free from

pain or injury. People would develop a hunchback at

a young age which is alarming and it is our

responsibility to look after our body.
