Want to feel better, move easier, and hurt less? All without adding anything to your to-do list?
Stand tall.
That’s it. No equipment. No appointments. No sweat. Just good old-fashioned posture. It’s your built-in upgrade button.
When you slouch, your body fights gravity. Your spine strains, muscles tighten, joints ache, and your breath gets shallow. That’s when the pain creeps in. That’s when you start feeling older than you are.
But when you stand tall, shoulders back, head up, chest open, your whole system breathes a sigh of relief.
I’m not kidding.
In our 50s, Peggy and I were slumped, stiff, and sore. We chalked it up to “getting older”… until we learned better.
Now in our 70s, standing tall is our secret weapon. We move freer. Breathe deeper. Feel stronger.
It’s not about perfect military posture. It’s about alignment. Confidence. Flow.
So next time your back’s barking or your energy’s low give this a try:
Plant your feet.
Lift your head like it’s being pulled by a string.
Roll your shoulders back and down.
Breathe.
What do you hear???
That’s your body saying, “Thank you.”
