“Good posture” is more than just sitting up straight.

Here are some posture exercises and stretches to support you…literally!

Good posture isn’t just about “looking confident.” It’s about making sure your body is in the optimal position. By relieving pressure on your muscles, joints, and nerves, the entire body can work the way it’s supposed to.

But improving your posture requires more than sitting up straight. As it turns out, the fastest route to good posture is one you may already be doing.

We’ve rounded up some of the best stretches and exercises to improve your posture, reduce aches and pains, and strengthen your core.

For anyone looking to live a healthier life, cardiovascular exercise is key.

Here are some great low impact cardio exercises you can try.

Cardio workouts are aerobic exercises or any activities that get your heart rate up and keep it up for a prolonged period. Running, cycling, jumping jacks, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) are some common high-impact cardio exercises.

Cardio workouts are key to staying in good health and having a strong metabolism and heart rate, but running and HIIT workouts can be too high impact for people struggling with back and joint pain or those just starting their workout regimen.

That’s where low impact cardio exercises come in. Chiropractic adjustments properly align your spine and skeletal system, and regular exercise is the key to maintaining those adjustments.

Low impact cardio workouts give you the same benefits without endangering your joints. Read on to see why low impact cardio and chiropractic adjustments make a great match.
