Correct your posture!

Bad posture is a common problem.  Whether you've had it for a while or developed it due to a laborious desk job that sucks the strength out of your back.

Perform the following exercise illustrated below in order to counter the bad posture habits that you have.  The exercise is called "opposite arm and leg raise".   The title is pretty self explanatory.


Steps:

1. Perform the exercise as pointed out below - raising your right arm and left leg first and holding it for 5 seconds, then doing the opposite and holding that for 5 seconds.  That is one rep.
2. Target 3 sets of 10 reps (or more depending on the strength of your back muscles) with a couple of minutes rest in between each set.
3. Do the exercise first thing in the morning when you wake up (to boost your metabolism)
4. Make sure you try to keep your back as straight as possible.
