Postures in physical activity

In all the activities we do on a daily basis we should adopt the best possible posture, here are some examples:

MARCHING

- Targeted feet forward, right head and shoulders aligned;

- Keep the normal curvature of the lumbar spine and pull your stomach;

- The arms should follow the cadence of the lower limbs.

RUNNING

- Look ahead;

- Back straight, with arms, shoulders and neck relaxed;

- Trunk slightly inclined forward from the hips;

- The arms and legs work together, with arms to switch to the rhythm of the legs;

- The feet should be aligned forward and support the ground in their front.

BICYCLE

- Back arched forward;

- Selim and pedals at one point (to ride with the soles of the feet);

- Handles in line with the forearm;

- Elbows slightly bent;

- Shoulders bent forward;

- Use protection (helmet, knee pads).

IMPROVING WITH ATTITUDE TO APPEAL GYM

- The trunk stability is important (abdominal and back muscles strengthen);

- Who spends the day leaning forward (on the computer, driving, etc.) should further strengthen the back muscles than the anterior muscles;

- It is important to strengthen the balanced way of muscles (agonists and antagonists);

- Strengthen the legs and arms in the apparatus;

- Do not forget the cardiovascular workout (30 minutes per session).
