Posture!

It's something I can't seem to get enough of lately. It affects so much of our life. I mean, if we can work towards perfect posture, we can decrease aches and pains, muscle imbalances and overall just look better. In my latest findings I found some bad/good habits in everday living. Review the list, these are all things I do on a daily basis that I'm going to work on changing. Remember, it's the little things we do everyday that add up. So even though it doesn't seem like much, it's the tiny things that gradually make us healthier.
