Introduction
Do you spend hours sitting at a desk or scrolling on your phone?
You’re not alone modern lifestyles have made poor posture a common problem.
Slouching or hunching might not seem serious, but over time it can lead to neck pain, back stiffness, fatigue, and even reduced confidence.
The good news? With awareness and a few simple exercises, you can improve your posture and feel more energized every day.
Why Posture Matters
Good posture isn’t just about looking confident it’s about alignment and balance.
When your body is properly aligned:
✅ Your muscles and joints work efficiently
✅ You breathe better
✅ You reduce strain on your spine
✅ You improve focus and energy levels
Poor posture, on the other hand, can cause chronic pain, stiffness, and fatigue.

3️⃣ Slumped Sitting – Leaning back without proper support.
4️⃣ Crossed Legs for Too Long – Affects hip and lower back alignment.
5️⃣ Uneven Weight Standing – Shifting weight onto one leg habitually.
