Female: Hello, and welcome. I am Jenny Didonato and you are watching the Brides Made Fit video blog and today, we are going to talk about posture. Posture is a very important aspect of your training program especially right from the get go. Now, a big cause for having bad posture could be from sedentary life style like what are you doing right now. You are sitting at your computer and a lot of people, I know you are guilty of it, sit at work and hunch over their keyboard like this.
Ladies, if this is you, you may be looking like this as you are walking down the aisle holding your flowers. What does that make us look like? Not confident and we are also putting a lot of our emphasis on our midsections and we do not want that because you see it is falling over right now. So that is one thing that you need to pay attention to as you are starting your program. Also bad posture or incorrect posture could result from any impact which could be from an accident unfortunately or any kind of sport injury that has not been healed correctly, your body is going to compensate.
Another cause could be repetitive stress from training. Incorrect movements, let us say if you are not being watched over from a fitness professional and your posture is bad when you are doing let us say a chest press or a back roll, your body is going to heal improperly causing for some bad posture which could be hunching over of your shoulders that way. But let us understand first that muscle and joint balance is essential for having correct posture and you want to understand too that each movement depends on the stability and function of the other muscles.
So let us say if your knees are weak, your ankles may suffer along with your hips, along with your shoulder even so we want to be able to target the problem because your body will compensate for any tight or injured areas throwing your body out of alignment and possibly causing more injuries and also leading to bad posture.
Now, the way that we can address this is through a postural assessment which is you can get a free assessment from Brides Made Fit, you can all 888 Made Fit and we can set you up. Just call me, ask for Jenny and we can set you up with a free consultation, also you put you through a postural assessment to see where those areas are weak, where they are tight and where we need to focus on to correct your posture to make you look stunning walking down the aisle.
Now, an individualized training program is what we set you up with at Brides Made Fit and that can incorporate anything from (Inaudible) string training to stretching which we can use, static stretching or we can use it with these elastic bands. Stretching your hamstrings, stretching your back and also this funky looking thing right here, it is called a foam roller, there goes my elastic band. A foam roller which is a form of massage for your muscles, this feels really good and we are certified here at Brides Made Fit to conduct those corrective exercises for you. So making sure that you are working at Brides Made Fit following a specific program for you, your body will over time begin to correct itself and you will look great on your wedding day.
So hopefully those tips will lead you to contact me and also will filter through our website and our programs that we have to offer, we will see you next time.
