How to Finally “Fix” Your Posture
Here's an update on a posture video! I uploaded a compilation a few years ago and wanted to give some new and improved thoughts in higher quality.
Many great posture exercises are out there! I tried to give ones that are easy to do and also work as standalone exercises.
I should acknowledge that some might argue that posture doesn't need to be “fixed” at all. Just use this video if you like!

hey friends this is how my posture used to look like 15 years ago maybe more in fact when they showed me this chart in school I was thinking I'm only like a level three on this I don't even get hand tools yet this is the exact same spot too and now we can leave the spot this is how I finally fix my posture and more importantly how you can too back then people used to always tell me to stand up straight and I would but then I would get tired and now I would slouch again come to find out later on that standing up straight Olive Pirates neither necessary nor necessarily good for us I guess they used to do this in finishing school to remind you to have better posture I probably would have failed there we go just like with many things in life there's a reason we might gravitate towards a slight curvature it's sometimes just more comfortable so if you set up straight before clicking this video you don't have to stay that way but it's good to have options right I've looked at a lot of posture content across the internet and found three main things one while posture doesn't need to be fixed doing posture exercises is usually worthwhile because it makes people feel better and gives them more options two these posture exercises usually strengthen weak muscles and stretch tight ones which is something we should do anyway and three there are two or three different exercises that cover all these spaces that almost everyone seems to like and they're good exercises in their own right so you can do them even if you don't have posture issues I don't know if they'll work for you but I have a hunch wait wait please come back I'm sorry I thought that was funny but now I stand corrected so the first exercise is a wall slide and we're going to well we're going to change locations because this wall isn't tall enough so the first exercise just looks like this it's a wall slide you may have seen me talk about it before but we're gonna add in a Twist okay first we want to stand with our body as close to the wall as possible arms like this hands back then we go up and then we go down keeping the back of our hands to the wall here's a full body View when we go up there's a tendency to want to Arch our lower back like this try to resist that tuck in your abs and go up like this a slightly easier variation is to do it with your feet out or just sitting down like this no matter how you do it the twist is when you come back down to squeeze your arms back like this hold for a moment feel it in your back before going back up this way you get the benefits from wall slides and wall Angels names are just to make a sound fancy and memorable but perhaps the most important tip I can get for this exercise is that your form does not have to be as perfect as you think it's a stretch so even if your arms don't go all the way back even if your belly does come up even if your head can't reach all the way back it's okay just feel the stretch it'll improve over time and just try to stay out of the range that causes you pain it is around 32 degrees 34 degrees Fahrenheit so I think we're gonna go inside the film the rest this next exercise also has a Twist like twisting is literally involved on both sides see most of us use one side of our body more than the other so we'll reach over and we'll grab something or we'll reach down and we'll grab something else so it makes sense right that we would have these rotational imbalances you might notice one side is a little bit or a lot of bit tighter than the other and we can do help solve this by stretching many of you know but leg up over if you can turn towards your raised leg and just hold for time around 30 seconds to a minute do the tight side first then do the other side for an equal amount of time and if you struggle with that don't worry you can do a slightly easier variation standing where you reach behind you and you touch the wall and hold for time but make sure you do both sides and just like with the previous exercise if you can't get the exact form if you can't get your leg over or you can't bend your leg don't stress out too much it's really about feeling and stretching the muscles so as long as you're stretching the right muscles it might look a lot different than what I'm showing but still working so while my stretch looks like this yours might look like this which is fine and remember that while you will feel a stretch you don't need to stretch yourself into areas of intense pain you can scale back if you need to I think the idea of perfect form during stretching really stresses some people out just start with what you can do and you'll improve over time and the next exercise is just this spending some time every day in your deepest squat [Music] whistling optional now in the Deep squat you might notice that our back tends to round a little bit like this which might seem weird in a posture video where we're trying to stand up straight except there are many times in our lives where we might not need to stand up straight like working studying writing reading lots of things the small we don't want to be stuck hunched over we might not also want to be stuck around rods straight all the time it's good to have options and be comfortable in those options so it only benefits us to practice being strong and Mobile in this position the Deep squat is a very natural and useful human position now you might notice that your heels come up when you try to do this now don't worry if that happens you can just one sec [Music] if you find a tree or something like it you can use it to ease yourself down where you otherwise might fall back without it but you can hold yourself forward and still gain the benefits from the exercise and it's not strictly necessary for posture but you might find that eventually you can stand without it or squat without it yeah if it bores you to Simply hold the squat you can move around in it you can use your arms to assist and you can also stretch a little bit like so these are just some of the many exercises that could help your posture I try to pick ones that help me personally ones that might not be as well known and ones people would actually do thank you so much for watching I hope this can help let me know if you have any ideas have a wonderful beautiful day my friend

I've been inspired to make better long-form content! I'm trying to balance the energy of the Shorts with the detail of the longer videos. Will be working hard to make it better for all of you!

You're a very kind man and I've never felt better. Thank you sir.
I am 70 yrs old and I am hearing "stand up straight"….I've always had back pain so my body has been leaning over, PLUS I work online all day. It hurts when I try to straighten up now. I'm going to try these exercises, love how you are so helpful AND funny!! New subscriber!!
As someone who does these every day and is incredibly active for my age… none of this helps.
Sadly I have an incredibly rare (less than 1 case in 100,000,000) disease where my joints degrade rapidly at a young age, and there's no known cure, and I'm not from a wealthy enough family for doctors to do anything about it or research possible solutions.
Fun fact: I'm also the only current living person in the World with this condition, as there are no known other living people currently with my condition, as a diagnosis is incredibly difficult to obtain, and 99.9999% of doctors can't diagnose it because they don't know it exists.
Man, what luck in life. Being the ONLY person in the world born with my disease, which is a guaranteed death. All I have to say, is that the people who went out of their way to bully me don't get to leave me behind 😉
