This routine guides you through a comprehensive 5-step process to correct rounded shoulders and improve your posture. It includes exercises to increase range of motion, develop body awareness, build strength and endurance in key muscle groups, and break bad postural habits.
There is a simple way to fix rounded shoulders if you avoid all the internet BS and go right to the source, which is the scientific literature on that topic. In this video, I present a posture correction program based on the results of 21 studies that dealt with rounded shoulders effectively.
Fixing Rounded Shoulders starts first with understanding the real cause of this issue. The major problem when trying to correct posture is to jump right to the millions of solutions that can be found on the internet, before first understanding the nature of the problem.
Understanding a problem comes always before fixing it. For this reason, this video is divided into 3 important chapters:
- First, clear the mist around posture correction exercises for rounded shoulders and the cause of this condition.
- Then explain the real cause of rounded shoulders
- And finally, present an easy-to-follow 5-step posture correction program based on the results of 21 studies.
