It's something that without a doubt gets harder with age, but teaching and educating individuals about maintaining a good posture is extremely important to all of us at Super Seniors Fitness.
Poor posture habits can result in nasty consequences to anyone at anytime.
We all know that severe posture problems can result in postural pain syndrome and this can hurt us from exercising and maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
The other damaging side effect of poor posture is the structural effect that it can have on the body.
When left uncorrected for a prolonged period of time, changes can occur within the human body as muscles become both shortened and weakened.
