Posture is probably the easiest and healthiest way to improve your appearance.

Your posture impacts your thin slice, determining how attractive you appear and how confident you appear.

Posture also has a major impact on airflow and blood flow, meaning it has a MAJOR impact on performance. Posture impacts how well you speak, how athletic you can be, even bedroom performance.

And lastly, posture has a fairly meaningful impact on your health, ESPECIALLY as you get older. Your posture today is dramatically going to impact if you’re the kind of person that’s living a full life when you’re older. If you don’t fix the minor issues you have today, they will compound over time.

I’m going to go piece by piece through the most common postural issues, the common causes and how to minimize that negative impact, and then how to proactively fix your posture so it’s perfect.

Quick note on neck/head posture!

A commenter raised a great question that got me to dig more into various neck issues. I learned there are actually two types of imbalances that can mess with your posture.

The first comes from looking down at your phone while texting, which causes the imbalance I talk about in this video.

The second is actually the exact opposite problem! It's caused by tight chest muscles pulling you forward and then your neck compensating to keep your eyes looking forward, leading to tight muscles in the back of your head where the head and neck connect. In this instance you actually want to work on elongating your rear neck.

The good news is that tucking your chin during the wall angels should help with this second type of neck/head misalignment.

Ultimately you'll have to diagnose yourself. Try various neck stretches and see what areas feel tight. Also pay attention to which stretches seem to lead to better posture afterwards because that's a good indication that that's the area that's overly tight for you.

And if things are severe, you can always go to a physical therapist and get a professional to help you out.

I was in exactly that posture when I saw the thumbnail.

That moment you relaise you have all 3 of them. I'm like a posture apocalypse when I walk

Exercise 1: Tilt head slowly back and hold 30 seconds, then tilt to one side, then the other
Exercise 2: Hanging from a bar or door frame stretch (put arm at right angle to door frame, then turn and stretch
Exercise 3: Wall angels, raise arms so they're parallel with ground, create right angles, then raise them above your head
Exercise 4: Lunges and bird dogs (also try not to sit for long periods of time! )

Who else saw the thumbnail and instantly fixed their posture? 🤣

My back is one gigantic mess, if I'm not careful I walk like Sméagol from Lord of the Rings..

[KanyeZero]

Wow I just tried these stretches and held them out for 30 seconds each, it feels like I've undone 15 years of slouching!

[MarrrryPie]

I'va done some of your exercises for 2 months now. 15 minutes I had usually spent with my phone on the toilet. Easy. Everything seems better. I ca actually look over my shoulder again when I am driving, without turning my whole torso, neckpain gets less, and people react differently when I am entering a room. It is amazing.

Bruh, I feel like I went from being 5'8 to 5'11 by fixing my neck posture.

So I have been doing this for two weeks. Yesterday I met a friend who I haven't seen for couple of months and she noticed I looked different, thought I grew taller at first and then realized it was my posture. Very simple exercises which takes just a few minutes. Thanks!

Watching my posture had a BIG impact on both my personality and social life :)

Your videos are always so helpful and full of value!

I am in my 50s and have been a computer programmer my entire adult life. I am close to the first generation that spent long hours in front of a screen. It has now been 30 years. It is critically important to fight these poor postures. Otherwise you'll be in for a future of excruciating pain.

Ben, massive thank you for this video! I pretty much have all the features of ''bad posture'' you've mentioned, and I used to think that it was genetic and that apart from ''standing up straight, shoulders back'' as the cliche advice goes, I didn't think you could do anything about it. I'm super excited to get my posture sorted once and for all!! Thanks allot to both you and Charlie ... some really life changing content (and philosophy!)
