Correct your posture Your mom constantly hounded you to "sit up straight" when you were young (now you do the same to your little ones), and with good reason. Standing and sitting with good posture will make life easier on you. Period. That's because the straighter you are, the less gravity will effect your body. "If your shoulders are forward, then gravity will push them down," says Meyer. Which means you will constantly fight against gravity every day of your life, making it harder to walk, sit, or run. So what's an easy way to realign yourself if you sit at a desk or drive all day? Meyers says to stand up and "put your arms out straight and touch your palms and fingers together � kind of like you're shooting a gun. Then open your arms [shoulder width] and drop them back at your side. That'll open up your top chest area and put your shoulders back where they're supposed to be."
