Stretches & Exercises for the Artist’s Posture

[@Wmaddox333]

Thankyou for making these videos! Being an artist taxes the body fat more than people realise, and can be a leading factor in why sometimes we aren’t able to create anything, I think we subconsciously know it leads to pain - so we choose not to sit down and work - I’ve had stages where I try and approach the desk, but as soon as I see it my mind says “nope” and I just walk away - leading to prolonged periods of no creativity. Excersize, good posture and good over all health is critical in maintaining a positive creative output.

It is so true- and a lot of work to maintain!

Got to know where to draw the line and go from sketches to stretches.

[@Lzmstudio]

about 2/3 sketch 1/3 stretch for me!

[@loissemanek1715]

Excellent I’ll add this to my floor stretching because I’m in a lot of pain from doing my art

[@Lzmstudio]

I hope something helps so you can keep creating! I also have links to two books that have helped me, and some tools that have helped: kzbin.info/aero/PLmuk19K4PkT6yCudo9WZJ1CK152wGu5l_&si=3hNCS9ks8Urc4tqr

The first wall exercise is just what I need. Due to an exposed screw coming out of a vertebrae from an L4-L5 fusion in 1992, just getting down to the floor and up again can well, my neighbors know.....then it's 2-4 weeks of recovering. But that door...I bet you're 5'10". It makes you look like you're a member of the Lollypop Guild.

😂I love the exercises but I absolutely love your door😂 the lines with the square handle is great, but it didn't take away from the message👍

[@Lzmstudio]

Ha! That's my videographer's door :)

Another suggestion : Meditation. It sharpens the mind and erase all yours worries (almost).

[@Lzmstudio]

Check! :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5LJnIyPfctjpa8

Thank you very much! But I would be curious about back, especially its lower part. Are you doing any exercises for this? Because that’s real pain for me.

[@Lzmstudio]

I have fewer problems with my low back but know from a good friend who had continual problems with his that strengthening and working on the trigger points in the gluteus medius can help. If you have hills near you that you can walk regularly this will strengthen them. Also check out this trigger point workbook that might help- kzbin.info/www/bejne/laSuXouOptVpq5I
