Somehow the posture post didn't get published on Wednesday...so here it is today!
Posture! It is the position in which you hold your body upright against gravity while standing, sitting or lying down. Good posture involves training your body to stand, walk, sit and lie in positions where the least strain is placed on supporting muscles and ligaments during movement or weight-bearing activities.
Good posture can help reduce the incidence of back pain! It is worth it!
Here are two great websites that will give you all the skinny on good posture, and steps to keep it good:
1) American Physical Therapy Association

2) Wikipedia - How to improve your posture

Be an expert on posture! Your back will thank you.
