Better Posture Workout - Exercises to Improve Posture and Prevent Hunched Shoulders

[@sammiimareex7026]

I have terrible posture. I have been doing this almost every day for about a month and a half and my family are really starting to see the difference. These are great for building muscles in your back so you can actually hold your back in the correct posture.

[@watermarchs]

Thank you for sharing this

[@hamza2792]

Amazing

[@nikoleta7256]

how often did u do it ?

[@languagelover9170]

Now, after 8 months, is your posture ixed? (FIxed I mean :D! :"D!)

[@sammiimareex7026]

+Language Lover I did some travelling and actually stopped and didn't get back into the routine. My posture is terrible again. Its all about building the muscles in your back so you have the strength to hold your back in correct posture

[@Banaany]

I feel this is one of the only few fitness channels that is reliable and spreads correct information. I have suffered from neck and shoulder pains and showed this video to my physician. She said this was a very good routine to build up specific muscles to relieve my pains. Thanks you very much for all of your video's! I think this particular video is very underrated.

[@hollowstreets3575]

I'm an artist. I spend a lot of time at my desk drawing and I always find myself in this painful slouching position. recently, I started doing this routine and have found that not only did it help immediately but also my posture in general is improving. Thank You FitnessBlender!

[@lnoir493]

Hollow Streets how is it going now?

[@rav2254]

I am an artist too, and these exercises are really helping. :)

[@atharvaatharva8477]

How many days it takes times

[@adinamoisei6603]

Thank you, Kelly. Years later these are still the best work out routines for me and also motivational routines after a long break. Honestly grateful for these videos.

[@juliegintowt-dziewatowski6815]

This video is amazing! Being doing this exercise for 2 years. I saw real results after 3 months. Standing straight again …. Thankyou!!

[@hmmmbeth2]

I do this routine ever 2-3 days, it has relieved chronic pain in my shoulders and neck from my desk job. Thank you so much Fitness Blender!!!

[@beccaselman555]

Also, the instructor is forgiving to us who aren't as fit as she; very encouraging :)

[@laurendaniels6817]

This routine really has been a lifesaver for me. I'm in my mid-twenties and suffer from really bad back and neck pain that doctors can't fully figure out. This workout gives me a sense of pain relief that is better than anything else I have tried. It's similar to what I did in physical therapy and I really find it to make a huge difference. Thank you for all of your work on this channel ❤️

[@Łucja1-k1s]

What do you mean there is a wall behind you and you're not floating in an unsullied white space of fitness?!

[@eleojoakor9088]

Kundera3000 🤣🤣

[@MsJoto33]

Just by doing the initial stretches I felt an immense weight just lift off of my neck and traps! I highly highly recommend this to ANYONE!!!!

[@mdbarton1979]

This is a great morning routine. It is quick, it wakes up the body, gets the blood pumping, activates the posture muscles, and reminds me to check in with my posture throughout the day. Thanks!

[@amanykhansa8603]

I tried this for 7 days now, it relieves my chronic shoulder and neck pain, thankyou for sharing this

[@onezerozero1001]

I have gone from severe back/hip pain to being 90% better from doing this particular video in the morning. THANK YOU GREATLY!

[@estee260]

Exercises begin at 0:45 I have been doing this about every other day for less than a month and I see the results. Thank you for posting!

[@Zumbarocker]

This is an awesome workout. I have scoliosis so it's important that I continuosly work on my core strength, balance, stabilization, and back. This work out has it all! Thank you.

[@gazellepop]

You never know how bad your posture is until someone takes a photo of you... I'll certainly be sticking to this workout for a long time and building upper body strength from level one.

[@sarahoxha1178]

came back years later to this video , still feels amazing and a good reminder i need to work on my back muscles

[@hycerpops]

could you guys make another one of these?? or maybe one that focuser on neck pain, i'd really need it! thank you

[@rosebud_.1573]

i agree

[@mervediler6880]

I have been doing it for 10 days now and I can already see that my posture is improving. Also, I feel like my shoulders and my back are less tense. Thank you!

[@canozano]

very useful

[@TBnMe2013]

Definitely been struggling with my hunched posture lately and its even more terrible because I'm heavy chested! Been stretching for a few days now. I love FitnessBlender videos!

[@laurareed2612]

Me too! I'm considering breast reduction surgery. I don't want to go through that all so I hope this works! Did you find it helped?

[@zahrakhan4398]

One of fitnessblenders best workouts imo. been following this for 5 years. Thanks Kelli!

[@ai7004]

I immediately saw the results!I have a very round back and now it’s getting so much better(I say 70% less curved)!I have been doing these excercises every 2 days for a month and now changing for heavier weights.

[@pigtailbbq1982]

I'm 47 year old man . I've had terrible pain in my upper back. I've had ribs out of place many times. It's hard to breathe when that's happening. I've been doing this routine for several months at least twice a week and now I'm back to living my life again. I also do an ab routine. Thank you Kelly. I'm able to work harder and longer and can play the family too.

[@PaulaStreet]

Thanks Kelli! I have been doing this using two 1.5 liter water bottles (the tall slim bottles, with a 'waist' which is the ideal place to hold them). These are about 3lb each. :)

[@juliagulia0819]

An older stretch, but this is my go-to for upper stretch! Especially after sleeping funny and I wake up tight and sore! Thank you guys for all you do!

[@selvaggiaaguillon925]

I have posture problems. I just finished this workout for the first time, and I feel so good! I'll definitely be doing this 3-4 times a week to improve my posture.

[@mirandayldz2827]

Does it work ?

[@CharlysMatt]

Did it work?

[@amandabazajeva549]

Did it worked?

[@Gracievc]

I have a weird condition that makes doing mundane things with my arms very painful, and it gets way worse if I have bad posture and a weak back. I can't go to physical therapy so I really can't thank you enough for this video. It's helped me so much and brought so much relief. I even use bottles of wine as weights and it works great!

[@LouMannion]

You're amazing! I suffer from MS and am just coming out of quite a nasty relapse so have been looking for something gentle but effective to help with pain and tightness in my spine and also my motability. I'm definitely going to follow you're other videos when I'm strong enough to exercise properly. Well done on a brilliant job!

[@rebeccaluff-smith8674]

Your kindness and attitude shine through this routine. Thank you, fitness blender xx

[@FizXify]

Wow! I've had a really sore back all weekend, it was particularly painful last night. These stretches/exercises (with no weights) really loosened up my back muscles and I feel a lot better. Thank you!

[@WendyWisemanwen]

Great routine! So simple but super effective. My range of motion and posture have improved after 2 weeks of this every day.

[@escapeTheSolarHeat]

That moment when you realize there's a wall behind her this whole time.

[@janeteresa7877]

escapeTheSolarHeat lol

[@kopahopa9105]

On of the Best exercice's video over seen, thank you so much I have no pain in my neck

[@rhaglen]

Thank you for making my day better! I did lower back exercises yesterday, and today got up with a stiff back. I feel much better after your workout.

[@jes587690]

Thank You, Kelly. I want to try this, I now have Mutiple Sclerosis and not sure how my endurance will be but will give it a try. Janet

[@myseriaelethan1802]

Omg, the sideways standing straddle strech cracked my back all the way up my spine. THANK YOU! I will be doing this everyday now, my back feels SO much better and straighter even in the slightest.

[@sxrxnxty]

Once I did this routine it even relieved my back pain! I’ve only started back at it again, so my posture has improved just a little bit, so I need to carry on doing it and posture will definitely get better. The reason why I have bad posture is because I draw, I do schoolwork I go on my phone...and at all of those moments, I am hunching. It’s so easy to fall back into the same habit so imma try to keep bringing my shoulders back like my mum tells me too. Thanks FitnessBlender !!

[@mariemirian7798]

I am a designer, drawing and sitting all day long caused me lots of back and neck pain! It's been a few weeks that I've been doing this work out! It's great!! Thanks so much. Would you please do more videos for correcting postures?

[@J.B.0815]

I did this today as a recovery workout and I feel relaxed now. I think I will put this into my weekly workout plan. It is short, effective and friendly to my scoliosis. Thank you so much.

[@marisamarinho3402]

Me too I'm going to do the same!

[@testsubject6911]

I've just found out this channel, and you guys are amazing and this particular video was so helpful to me. Just 1 week of these exercises and it has improved my posture greatly and relieved me from my back pain. Thank you so much for this!!! And for the information, this type of videos are hard to find , that are directly focused on posture and back pain. Especially for the People who doesn't have time for full body workouts, money for gym or specialists.Also, another thing is that, Most of the time, videos from various fitness instructors on different channels are kinda focused on people who are already in a bit good shape. (again, i don't mean there are no contents on other channels about this particular exercise, it's just they mostly are a bit hard for the starters, in my opinion)

[@PaulaStreet]

For those of us with limited cash, (repeat of previous comment): I have been doing this using two 1.5 liter water bottles (the tall slim bottles, with a 'waist' which is the ideal place to hold them). These are about 3lb each. :)

[@zilisa]

I find this workout really helpful especially now with Corona/homeoffice. It helps me to relax and stretch my stiff back and shoulder muscles after just sitting all day long in front of my computer. Thank you!

[@deshannaidoo2241]

thx a million, can really feel my shoulders working and straightening my shoulder and neck. headaches have reduced also

[@rania9912r]

I had a bad posture for long time from studying too much and playing video games but lately i'm having so much back and neck pain I will start this today hopefully it will help me

[@roseivoire9385]

This video is the reason I started workout with you , Fitness Blender team. I really appreciate that you posted here this videos. Made a difference for me. Love ya!

[@ThyFever]

This was wonderful and I am super glad I found this routine. I broke both my collar bones years ago and I got into the habit of slouching to "protect" them. I read all the info provided, Thank you so much!!!

[@TheCamoBarbies]

Been doing this every other day to help with headaches and neck aches. Thank you!!

[@karstimmer]

This is still one of my go-to routines. Great for improving your posture. Thanks guys!

[@JapaneseCityPopCat]

I absolutely LOVE the exercises you guys post! I always do an exercise before I sit down to write each day. This one I especially need because I have tendency to slouch both when I'm walking and when I'm sitting down at my computer. :Thanks so much for such a variety of workouts too! I recently graduated from college and dearly miss the free gym and workout classes I took on campus. These videos are a great substitute! :)

[@sabinemeijer9954]

Came here looking for lower back exercises but doing these felt really good so I think I needed them!!

[@KateECarpenter]

I can't believe this was uploaded less than 2 months ago; I feel like I've been using it for so much longer than that.

[@AlperenErdem5]

15:57 thanks i broke my shoulders and i have good posture

[@ansiis4754]

i hate this stretch

[@abbyrose1868]

I think i fucked up my shoulders too or pulled something wtf i aint meant to bend like that i was feeling so good until this HELP LMAO

[@atharvaatharva8477]

Plz tell me how many days it takes times

[@lidiane3291]

There're worst stretches. If u struggled it's because u need to workout more

[@dayonmage3946]

Recovering labrum-bankart repair patients like myself may be able to perform this exercise set. It didn't cause any pain or problems for my shoulder, and the rows are similar to what my PT recommended to me anyway. Just as the lady said, it's great for shoulders, and we're aiming for endurance and stamina stability.

[@beccaselman555]

I have multiple sclerosis and I've started doing Pilates and stretches because ground work is better for me because I have issues with my equilibrium. I love this because even the standing work I can do with out too much effort and fear of losing my balance thank you. My body feels great!

[@hflo]

I really needed that, my posture is horrible and I feel super stiff. From now on I'm going to do that everyday with some lower back exercises as well.

[@sparklewish80]

love these types of workouts. most only focus on high intensity cardio and muscle but you encompass the overall well being of health. :) please keep up the great work!!

[@casselafrommanila]

Thank you for making these videos. I just did this workout in 2022! Always relevant and always helpful. :)

[@Lyonnm]

Thanks for posting this workout! I think I wrote you guys a while back asking for a good posture workout. I doubt I was the only one, but it's exactly what I was looking for!

[@fitnessblender]

3-5 times a week, you can read a lot more about how often to do the routine at the link in the description above :)

[@hanoofsayeed585]

+FitnessBlender can we also do this after a HIIT workout? or will it be too much for our body?

[@rezavantilborg]

My back is not straight and i have tried to make it better. I am going to try this. Hope it worked for me!
