In this video, I am going to show you an exercise drill using a FOAM ROLL that will surely help you on fixing your Forward Head Posture. It is important that we can fix this, because it gives us neck pain, back rounded shoulders, and an ugly posture, in short its not SEXY.
1). First, is you lean back on the foam roller, and let your shoulders hug the foam roller. It works best if you have a LONGER FOAM ROLLER . Put your feet wider if you have trouble in getting your balance. It should look like this:
2). Second, is you will slowly spread your ams and just simply relax. And then you will start to feel the tightness of your chest muscles. It should look like this:
In addition, also do deep breathing, because this is part of fixing our forward head posture. I recommend to watch the video to be fully guided.
1) First, is you position your self by leaning back on the foam roller. Start your position from your shoulder blades. And what you are going to do is put your hands behind your head. It should look like this:
2) Second, you are going to arch on the roller but only a little bit not too much. Focus on levering your shoulder blades as you reach down your head by leaning. It should look like this:
You can also do a a little sit up maybe 5 to 6 reps while leaning on the foam roll.
3) Third, you are going to change to another spot by rolling it down just a little bit lower. And arch your upper back and try to open up that torso. It should like this:
In this video, I am going to show to you a great drill that is very under utilize by a lot of people. I want to show this to you because its really really important to help you fix your forward head & rounded back posture.
1) First, is your going to position your fit on the wall, in this case I am using a door. The whole idea of this is I want to get our breathing fix, because a lot of the time if we don’t breath properly this causes bad posture. Your position should like this:
2) Second, is what I want to do with my clients is I have them to push their stomach down while breathing (inhale & exhale). It should like this:
The whole idea here is that you’re trying to relax the musculature in your neck and in your shoulders so that when you take a deep breathe you will have a taller posture and you will learn the right muscles to breathe.
1). First is you position your self and your stomach by lying down on the floor, in this way you are now flat on the floor. Like this:
2) Second, is activate your butt by squeezing it and lift up your chest just slowly not a lot, by bringing shoulders together. And then do a thumbs out so that your arms will be away from you. Then again, lift your chest up and squeeze your shoulder together and do a NEUTRAL HEAD POSE. When we say neutral you neck is FLAT. it Should look like this:
And hold this position for at least 3 SETS of 30 Seconds.
