Think about how you are sitting or standing right now - and the posture you are in. Is this a posture you are frequently in? What muscles are activating in this posture? Over time the muscles that work more than others can exert pulling forces across our joints, causing imbalances we're not aware of - and that show up when we're training as well if we're not aware of them.
Learn more about caring for your muscles and joints in today's episode, and how common movements create patterns so you can bring your awareness to your own daily postures and stay safe and strong while you're training.
In this episode I'm exploring...
