Movements Afoot’s Blog

I am proud to announce that I am in an article about posture on

page 107 in O Magazine.

Posture is more than looks.  It is the foundation for health.  Your bones house important organs for life.  With poor posture,  the organs get compressed and cannot fully function at full capacity.  Think of a front end crash of a car.  The engine does not run as well. Improving your posture is a long term health plan. Good posture enhances how you walk, how you present yourself to the world and your internal health.

Walk around slumped.  How does it change how you walk and how you feel?

Taking a stand

I have included many standing exercises.  I have been doing alot of exercises on a block.  It challenges balance and how you use your standing leg.  The exercises on the floor are the building blocks for strengthen for standing.
