He is simply at the mercy of pain... The three bodybuilders will never give him a break until the little twink submits
OK Tumblr Geriatric Ward, let’s talk about your posture-
there are things you should be doing now to prevent yourself from starting to look like 🥀
Why does it matter? Future you would like to avoid the pain, limited motion, and fall risk that goes along with worsening posture.
What’s the focus?
1. Keep the flexibility in your spine
2. Stretch the muscles in the front
3. Strengthen the muscle in the back
Here are some simple things you can do daily while sitting and when you get up to go into the bathroom or the kitchen
Keep the flexibility by doing these repeated movements: 10 repetitions several times a day
The goal is to give yourself a double or triple chin. Keep your nose pointing forward, don’t let it tip up or down
Thoracic extension- use a chair with a seat back that comes up to the level of your shoulder blades. Try to bend back over the top of the chair without arching away from the seat back and without extending your neck. If the pressure from the top of the chair is uncomfortable you can place a towel there
Stretch the muscles in the front by using a door frame. This one will feel good afterwards
If this isn’t enough of a stretch you can do one side at a time. If you have the right arm up step forward with the right foot and turn slightly to the left. Then do it on the other side.
Strengthen the muscles in the back by squeezing your shoulder blades together for a count of 10 and then repeating 10 times. You can do this several times a day Hint: Don’t lift your shoulder blades up
There are lots more exercises for strengthening your back muscles but this is a good starting point and easy to do. I like doing it while driving
Tips:
Do the best you can
If it hurts stop
Envision future you saying thank you each time you do one of the exercises

If God wanted me to have good posture then he wouldn’t have made so many cool bugs to look at.
Thanks to @yourfunctionalbody for this #tipTuesday gem! 😃. . Super for hips and posture... turn on those buns for a deeper hip flexor stretch... See if you can keep those buns on as you lift your sternum up toward the ceiling - they will help keep you from pinching your low back.... More challenge? Lift the arms to the sky!... Need a little assistance? Put hands on a wall or other stable surface as you lift you chest. . How do you feel after doing it?? 😃. . . #hipflexors #hipopener #happyhips #glutes #posture #aligmnent #stretch #bodypositive https://www.instagram.com/teammona/p/Bsq6d8LHxd-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xfxtjewl1eeq
Winter posture can ruin you! Without realizing what you’re doing you can inadvertently develop neck aches, shoulder aches, and back aches!... Do you get the winter slouch, too?... IF SO, as I say in this #tipTuesday video, remind yourself to straighten back up once your body warms up. Your spine will thank you! 😍. . . #posture #beatthecold #standtall #openup #pilates #healthyback (at Pilates Northwest) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5WPJOxAR_j/?igshid=algm2iczrenl
Art tutorials by Disney artists Griz and Norm Lemay
Embodiment and Empathy and my sprawling ideas...
So somehow my thesis on explaining how comics is an inherently empathetic medium has descended into an interdisciplinary dissertation that encompasses the fields of neuroscience and cognitive processing, medical humanities, disability studies, art therapy and the theory of art. The application of these theories seeks to analyse the embodied aspect of comics, but I feel like my tutors will be surprised when they read it given that it is the final piece of coursework towards my Masters in Literature.
Also, you can tell I've got a high word count, because I'm talking like this. ^
