POSTURE: THE ULTIMATE LIFE HACK
INTRODUCTION
Hey there,
First of all, I want to thank you for
downloading this free posture guide.
I know you are going to take away A
LOT of valuable information from this
and I’m happy you’re here.
Before moving forward though, I am
going to set the context for you and
tell you how I first became interested
in posture.
Like most people in the world today I have spent a fair amount
of time sitting. I sat in high school, I sat in college, and then I
graduated and began sitting some more. I have spent a lot of
time in hunched positions reading, texting, and just getting work
done.
In conjunction with my chronic sitting habit, I have also always
been an athlete. Ever since I was 4 or 5 playing soccer all the way
up to my current age (25) I participated in mostly strength training
and martial arts, so movement has been a crucial part of my life.
I became a certified personal trainer through the National
Academy of Sports Medicine when I was 19, and I have been
working with clients ever since then.
It was during my time in college that I became very serious about
my strength training. I would often go from sitting in class in a
hunched position straight to the gym where I would lift weights for
3 hours.
At the time, I knew my posture was bad, but I really didn’t care
about it because I was jacked and tan. Why would my posture

matter if I can bench press 225 lbs. for reps and deadlift over 500
lbs.?
During my sophomore year of college something weird started to
happen. I started to experience injury after injury with nothing to
blame it on. I was getting stronger and stronger in the gym, but
more damaged and injured in the process.
This injury cycle eventually peaked in 2011 when I suffered a
shoulder injury that left me requiring surgery. After surgery, I was
unable to work out again for several months.
Now, this contrast for me was profound. Here I was, a guy that
was used to working out almost every day for 3 hours at a time
to not being able to do anything for 8 months. Needless to say I
became depressed and started asking myself a lot of questions.
Why did this happen to me? How did this happen to me? Could
this have been prevented?
During this time period, I turned to the study of biomechanics
and posture to find my answers.
What I soon learned is that posture regulates and controls a
myriad of bodily functions. It turns out that all of the following are
influenced by our posture:
»
Non-Verbal Communication
»
Lung Capacity
»
Cognitive Function
»
Sex Hormone Levels
»
Stress Hormone Levels
»
Circulation
»
Confidence
»
Predisposition To Injury
