Bryan Johnson shares five habits and two exercises for better posture. Visualize a string pulling your spine up, avoid hunching over your phone, move every five minutes, and do light weight rows and neck extensions to strengthen the muscles that hold you upright.
I'm going to share with you five things that you can start off with as you work to have good posture. So the five things are, first, imagine you have a string going through your spine up through your head, and it's pulled straight up. So when I'm trying to find the right posture position, I'm just imagining someone pulling that string above my head. Number two is I try to avoid things that invite bad posture. And the phone is the worst. You pull it up and the default position is down, which when I do that and I put my head down, I can feel the flow from my jugular veins actually stop. Three is I move every five minutes throughout the day. And then four is I do two exercises every day. Is you want to have your elbows back, your shoulders like this position, and you want to bring with weights in your hand, you want to bring your shoulders up and out. The second one is hands on the forehead with some light pressure. And then you're moving your head up ever so slightly, 30 degrees. And you'll see on the anatomy, the muscles in the back of your neck, which you're working so that you can maintain the posture. And you're going to find out it takes a lot of muscle to maintain proper posture.
