This month on Patreon, I shared a Posture Workshop with a 30-min discussion and 45-minute class putting what we learn into action. Think of this quick bodyweight posture workout as a little preview of that. If posture is a topic you’d like to learn more about, check out the workshop on Patreon!
Bodyweight Posture Workout: Upper Body/Core
In this quick upper body and core flow, we’ll focus on posture: opening through the chest, strengthening the upper back/spinal erectors, and mobility/stability of the shoulders. No equipment needed. It’s a great workout to counter the hunching we tend to do working at a desk for extended periods of time.
We’ll start class with some breathing and thoracic mobility. We then move into some side plank work for shoulder stability and core strength. Next we complete a prone series to strengthen the spinal extensors. We finish by putting it together with a push-up-to-prone series. Class concludes with some stretching.
