Strengthen Using Posture Medic

By not maintaining proper posture, we do not engage the key neck and upper back muscles that are necessary for holding your posture — shoulders back, neck upright and an S–curve to your spine. These strengthening exercises have been specifically designed to target those key muscles and to engage them. You may find some exercises harder than others. As a result, Those are the muscles that are the weakest and will require more training. Do as much as you can and build up towards doing more reps.

We recommend doing each of these exercises for 1 set of 15 reps, once per day for the first week, 2 sets of 15 reps, twice daily for the second week and building up to 3 sets of 15 reps every other day by week 3 or 4.

Be sure to also Stretch and Stabilize after your strengthen your muscles.
