yhea school chairs are difficult to have good posture in so i learned to get comfortable in them instead, thus starting my habit of doing the same thing at home.
One motivating factor for keeping good posture = you look much better. I've always had bad posture up until two years ago. After seeing myself in candid photos with poor posture, I realized I looked like a flamingo or the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Haha. Good posture is an easy way to make you appear taller and healthier. Your upper body looks stronger and your tummy looks slimmer when you have good posture.
@@hardishah3442 Yoga or ballet is great for good posture, since it brings things into alignment, including the 'posture muscles', which are rarely used in the average persons daily life. Many sports encourage good posture, except for weight lifting (if done wrong, it can actually make your posture worse, but done right, it can be great) :) You can also search for 'how to improve your posture' or 'how to fix hunchback posture' on google or youtube; there are plenty of good exercises. Just remember it is not just about working out shoulders and arms; it is often the back muscles that are lacking in modern people. And just try to be aware of it in your daily life, and correct yourself when you notice it.
Not really. Google has profiles on every one of its users. Its not hard to deduce habits and traits based on youtube activity and other miscellaneous information. Look up 'cold reading' for a better idea.
I had poor posture, but I feel more confident in the past two weeks when I pay attention to my posture. Also, I am able to talk to people more easily thanks to this.
AlleyBetwixt Apart from the guy bending his lumbar spine in half OUCH instead of bending at the hips. Don't try that at home! Shame they didn't go for more accuracy and realism.
Stop blaming it on education and school. if you're so worried that you gotta comment about it then do some stretches every 30 mins or so in your study sessions, it goes a long way
i really love TED-ed. it’s litterally like school but in the internet, and it teaches you things that most schools don’t. when they post something it really makes you press their video cause it’s so fascinating + visuals are amaze

-stand up straight -right posture help your body adapt to new physical stressors like carrying a heavy weight -wrong posture is linked with headache, backpain and can affect your emotional well-being -keeping you muscles and joints moving will help you support your body effectively via the strength that your muscles gain
Concentrate to being tall... dont pull your soulders back and use trapesius and latissimus dorsi as postural muscles... its wont work... going to became paintful and inflamated... you need the muscles all next to the spine.... stand up and streighten your body with them, by pretending to be as tall as you can with a neutral spine curve( may requaer some more attention on the thoratic spine area ;) good luck! :)
Sit up straight at the base/small of your back. Situate so that you are sitting directly above your hips. It hurts like hell at first. Shoulders should be natural and relaxed and arms loose. If you do pull ups your shoulders will straighten :)

In yoga moving and settling into the Asana (the poses) is initiated from the spine towards the outer ends of the body, and there is emphasis on the correct anatomical alignment in order to support and relax the spine. Most of the health benefits linked to yoga poses come forth from having full mobility in the spine and experiencing decreased stress on the central nervous system within the spine. If you would like to practice better posture, you can go to a physical therapist, an ergonomical therapist, and/or you can visit a local yoga studio and ask for the classes that focus the most on the correct alignment of the poses.

Ipraku thats why I stopped writing. Now I only look forward in class and everyone thinks I‘m creepy so they dont talk or write me on my phone wich makes me look less at my phone, thus improving my posture
So today I was walking with my friends through the city and we did this game that every time my posture bended, even a little she screamed: STAND RIGHT SOLDIER. So I corrected my posture.

Standing desks should be a thing... Along with kneeling chairs in schools. Because those all are more comfortable than the plastic chair and such. OR they could just raise the tables up a bit more... Maybe put it at a slightly steeper angle. Just my thoughts.
the problem is when you go 5+ years with bad posture your muscles may already be in so much pain and be so Weak that you need physical therapy. in my case when I was 15 I was told by my doctor my posture would effect me. by 22 my shoulder was hurting at work, when I did art commissions, and even when I walked. at 23, I'm taking physical therapy because the muscles in my shoulder are so tense and can rip at any time. it's no joke, your mom and doctor don't tell you that you need to straighten up to annoy you.
Um, I’ve had really bad posture sense I was at least 9 or 10. Im 17 now and my back kind of hurts if I try to sit up perfectly straight, but that’s all. 8 years. Am I just lucky?
I had bad posture and chronic back aches as well. I started going to the gym doing lifts like deadlift, lat pull downs, bench press and stuff. After awhile those backaches goes away and the sore are usually from post gym sessions. I would use foam rollers to do deep tissue massage. Now I have better posture and less muscle aches
That exercise in the end is called "Surya Namaskar". In India, many people do it regularly at the time of sunrise. It is being practiced here for way earlier.
To all the people struggling with improving posture. Work on your mind too. Change the moods you are in every day. The mental state you are in effects your posture. And another tip is to look into the Alexander technique. You cant simply force your body into a better posture. It may look better and feel a bit better for a bit, but it actually isnt better.
@@jongonzalez1677 Posting muscles arent under our direct control. When you use force and tension and stress, then you are using the wrong muscles. The goal is to achieve a good posture, without feeling that tension.
Because, you probably didn't have good posture in the past. This makes having good posture harder, because bad posture makes your muscles weaker and unable to support your body. For me, sitting up straight is really relaxing and easy, and I've had good posture for all of my life.
you have tense muscles pulling you forward into the bad posture, you need to stretch them all, safely ofc, and then they will loosen up and it will be easier to then practice the good posture. It takes A LOT OF TIME, I've been doing stretches and working out back muscles for 3 years and it's still hard.
Cash Rabbit i play violin and one of the key points is to always sit up straight and maintain a good posture for long periods of time. (Since my practice hours tend to be 2 hours long.) trust me i had so much trouble keeping my body straight forward but after long periods of time, it gets easier to maintain and stay in. I can stay for about an hour and 30 minutes before needing to sulk back down in my seat. I know that seems like nothing but imagine doing that each day for about 2 years straight. Its really great! You need to make good posture a habit to never lose because the benefits are definitely great
May i ask how it affected you? I find it very difficult myself to always stand and sit up straight, I really have to think about it all the time, so i am kinda worried about the consequences.
Well, mostly lower back pain which can get real bad if you are sitting all day. You can even get headaches from all that tension. If you are persistent and sit up straight whenever you notice you are slouching, eventually it will become natural to you and you wont have to think about it anymore
I’ve experienced really bad back pain while gaming, working out, anything I did was painful in my back I’ve even tried to rest my body and still felt pain, ever since I fixed my posture my pain slowly reduced after a couple of mouth
+Ninjawa Your nearest burn ward is about 20km away, located in Lilbitchville. As you'll be there for some time, I'd suggest packing your swag and taking it with you.
I had straight posture but when I moved school this year the school table is too tiny so I have to keep my head down all the time I hate this, it ruined my posture
I've been struggling with keeping good posture. About 20 times a day I adjust the way I sit, but before I even realise it I'm slouching again. Who has tips for improving your posture?
Charlie Noah slouching has become a habit for you. What you could do is apply some habit changing techniques that will be useful for this and any number of bad habits you might have. I am no expert in the field, but what has worked for me was to try and stay as continualy aware as possible so that you can correct the slouching while it's happening. If you have trouble with self-awareness you could try to set a timer in your smartphone to ring or vibrate each 5/10 mins as a reminder to check your posture. The more you do it, the less you're gonna need it and after some time it's gonna become your new habit to sit/stand up straight,
+Charlie Noah Don't use the back of the chair if it has one. Sit upright at the front of the chair, using a cushion it it's uncomfortable. Make sure the chair is high enough so that your thighs are flat when sitting, or even higher so that your hips are a bit above your knees. A firm wedge cushion can help tilt your hips slightly forward, which promotes proper posture. And if you're looking at a computer monitor, raise the monitor so the top is level with your eyes when sitting, and about an arms length away. If you're using a laptop for long periods, don't, or get an external monitor that can be put at the proper height. Not so sure about reading from books... Most "office chairs", even the $1000+ "ergonomic" ones, are terrible for posture. Any chair that slants back, forcing your hips to tilt backward it also to be avoided. Couches that put your knees above your hips and the back several feet in: worst invention ever for posture unless you can sit cross legged on one. Better yet, get a good kneeling chair. I got one about 7 years ago and swear by them. Most of the time I don't even use the knee pads and just keep my feet on the floor. Sitting upright is just the natural thing to do with these chairs. I used to have back and shoulder problems, but now my sitting does not cause problems even when I sometimes sit 10 hours a day, and I have excellent posture. Even when I sit on "regular" chairs now I sit as described above out of habit, and find it way more comfortable.
codediporpal This is without a doubt one of the most helpful responds I've received on TH-cam. Thank you for taking the time! I'm sitting at the front of my chair as we speak. I've never heard of a kneeling chair, but did some online research and now I'm very intrigued! Going to try some in a store later this week to see if it the right height for my desk before I purchase one. The search continues but thanks to you I'm on the right track :)
This video reminded me to the time i played video games in my pc when lockdown started for so long (with arms unsupported) that when i stand up i immediately collapsed with a very intense pain in my lower back. I couldn’t stand up for hours and had to be taken to the doctor the next day. I remained a whole week during bed recovering and had to eat food in a very awkward and uncomfortable position because i couldn’t stand up straight effectively. Now a days i thankfully changed my habits and i do lots of exercise. I really do not wish what happened to me to anyone! It was scary.
I'm 6 foot 4 (at full height) and I fear that when I properly stand up straight, other people might think that I'm trying to act like I'm superior to them or something :/ This is why I slouch quite badly.
ElAshtonio I think you've been blessed with height, so you should stand up straight and be proud. How you talk and treat others is what matters. not your posture ^ ^
Why on earth do you give a fuck about what some other people would think about you? And why are you sacrificing your health for someone elses stupid opinions?
is it just me, or does being taller than most affect ur posture? i always look downward and slouch because i feel awkwardly giant compared to my friends
As long as this channel keeps on answering my untold bizarre questions, even with the occasional intro which not makes sense. I'd still go and watch this channel any day of the week!
Being 6 foot 4 lanky kid in HS with bad posture wasn't the best .. fixed it this year feels muchh better also more confident too, regret not stretching my back and not correcting it earlier.
take a picture of yourself in the mirror, your side parallel to the mirror. Wearing light clothing or even just underwear is recommended. Then, take that picture and draw that line.
Anybody noticed surya-namaskar ( a type of yoga known to be the "complete" exercise" ) being performed at the end? I do it everyday and it feels great and keeps my posture upright.
As someone with chronic poor posture for 20+ years, I cannot urge proper posture enough. I have been dealing with chronic pain for many years now, and the last 3 years my neck has been causing serious bilateral issues to my arms and hands. Doctors call it RSI, but it's actually due to nerve entrapment from very short and tight muscles. It's been very difficult to try to tackle this issue, so prevention is key. Take it seriously or deal with the consequences.
HOLY SHIT! A couple of years ago i started sleeping with a pillow between my legs for no reason, it just felt more comfortable, i never imagined that it was actually helpful.
there are many things humans do that they dont know its good. when i was 12rys old I randomly started sleeping with arms under my pillow and then a few years later i read a article and it said its good posture for blood flow or something. i remember vaguely though.
i have scoliosis and people tell me i have very BAD posture. i never really cared..... until i learned my friends mom calls me hunch back. that doesn't make me feel to good.i have been trying really hard to fix my posture.
I would hunch my back in high school, until one day I heard a couple of girls walking behind me talking about my posture while laughing. I've tried a lot harder since :P
PuffofLightning I have experience all these!! I heard people talking about me behind me as well.. It all started bc I was shy when I was the tallest when I was a kid and I dont like standing out (but back then I dont know it will make me even more stand out) and felt insecure so I always slouch and also when I'm walking pass many people, I am not confident and then it all become a habit.. School also the main factor
Nobody talked about me behind my back because I always found out and I told everyone I’d be 10 times as pissed if I found out they said something about me behind my back. Last person to do it was 4 years ago maybe and I hit them with a chair.
I had no idea it helped your posture before this video, but I've always slept on my side, head supported, with a pillow between my legs. I was very surprised when they mentioned that The pillow might seem odd at first, but it seems so much more comfortable, and I find it nearly impossible to sleep without cushion now
I move a lot too , and i never sleep until i find a comfortable position , and a few months ago i realised that putting a pillow between my legs helped XD
Not only healthy, it also affects the aesthetics of the body. I noticed I was a bit inclined forward when I saw an video of myself aome years ago, since then, I have been more careful with my posture and my body looks and feels better now.

The desks at school don't allow for good posture to be possible. they are not comfortable and slouching is the only way to get sorta comfortable.
Good posture isn't easy in any situation, it takes actual effort to sit up straight. Don't expect your chair to do the work for you, because it can't.

the problem is when you go 5+ years with bad posture your muscles may already be in so much pain and be so Weak that you need physical therapy.
in my case when I was 15 I was told by my doctor my posture would effect me. by 22 my shoulder was hurting at work, when I did art commissions, and even when I walked. at 23, I'm taking physical therapy because the muscles in my shoulder are so tense and can rip at any time.
it's no joke, your mom and doctor don't tell you that you need to straighten up to annoy you.
I had similar problems with my lower back when I was 17. I also had to go to physical therapy.

@@flargarbason1740 nah, thats just cos ur young, if u carry on for another 8 years.... then rip to you
I had bad posture and chronic back aches as well. I started going to the gym doing lifts like deadlift, lat pull downs, bench press and stuff. After awhile those backaches goes away and the sore are usually from post gym sessions. I would use foam rollers to do deep tissue massage. Now I have better posture and less muscle aches
being a tall person and having a good posture is extremely hard
ok but could you get a good posture tho
no it’s not lmao

Bad standing position will make you less attractive and may decrease your respect, just watch yourself when you pass a shop window.

That exercise in the end is called "Surya Namaskar". In India, many people do it regularly at the time of sunrise. It is being practiced here for way earlier.
I'm too tall to sit straight when I'm at the desks in my school :|
I can 100% relate to this. What's worse is how awkward we look when we're sit up right!!

To all the people struggling with improving posture.
Work on your mind too. Change the moods you are in every day. The mental state you are in effects your posture.
And another tip is to look into the Alexander technique.
You cant simply force your body into a better posture. It may look better and feel a bit better for a bit, but it actually isnt better.
Ok but it is better :/
@@jongonzalez1677 Posting muscles arent under our direct control. When you use force and tension and stress, then you are using the wrong muscles. The goal is to achieve a good posture, without feeling that tension.
@@rist98 ok but it is tho
@@jongonzalez1677 Well, great. For you. What ever works for you.
@@rist98 sweet thanks it does :)
if it puts less strain on your muscles to sit up straight why does if take more effort. like i get tired of holing myself up after a while
Because, you probably didn't have good posture in the past. This makes having good posture harder, because bad posture makes your muscles weaker and unable to support your body. For me, sitting up straight is really relaxing and easy, and I've had good posture for all of my life.
you have tense muscles pulling you forward into the bad posture, you need to stretch them all, safely ofc, and then they will loosen up and it will be easier to then practice the good posture. It takes A LOT OF TIME, I've been doing stretches and working out back muscles for 3 years and it's still hard.
Practice sitting up straight. After some time you will get the hang of it and your neck and back muscles will strengthen :) No need to worry
After 1 month of sitting straight every time you are going to feel very comfortable and it will gradually become your natural habit :)
Cash Rabbit i play violin and one of the key points is to always sit up straight and maintain a good posture for long periods of time. (Since my practice hours tend to be 2 hours long.) trust me i had so much trouble keeping my body straight forward but after long periods of time, it gets easier to maintain and stay in. I can stay for about an hour and 30 minutes before needing to sulk back down in my seat. I know that seems like nothing but imagine doing that each day for about 2 years straight. Its really great! You need to make good posture a habit to never lose because the benefits are definitely great
this 4 minutes video is more educational than any other 40 minutes videos.
Who else stopped slouching during the video?
Hahaha i felt bad for slouching at the beginning so yes i changed.
You should continue ever after this video. I know how bad slouching can get in a long run.
May i ask how it affected you? I find it very difficult myself to always stand and sit up straight, I really have to think about it all the time, so i am kinda worried about the consequences.
Well, mostly lower back pain which can get real bad if you are sitting all day. You can even get headaches from all that tension. If you are persistent and sit up straight whenever you notice you are slouching, eventually it will become natural to you and you wont have to think about it anymore

that was one major reason why I hated school. I knew it was ruining my posture
I had straight posture but when I moved school this year the school table is too tiny so I have to keep my head down all the time

I've been struggling with keeping good posture. About 20 times a day I adjust the way I sit, but before I even realise it I'm slouching again. Who has tips for improving your posture?
Charlie Noah slouching has become a habit for you. What you could do is apply some habit changing techniques that will be useful for this and any number of bad habits you might have. I am no expert in the field, but what has worked for me was to try and stay as continualy aware as possible so that you can correct the slouching while it's happening. If you have trouble with self-awareness you could try to set a timer in your smartphone to ring or vibrate each 5/10 mins as a reminder to check your posture.
The more you do it, the less you're gonna need it and after some time it's gonna become your new habit to sit/stand up straight,
Nigra Med That is a great idea! Thank you for taking the time to guide me through the process :)
+Charlie Noah
Don't use the back of the chair if it has one. Sit upright at the front of the chair, using a cushion it it's uncomfortable. Make sure the chair is high enough so that your thighs are flat when sitting, or even higher so that your hips are a bit above your knees. A firm wedge cushion can help tilt your hips slightly forward, which promotes proper posture.
And if you're looking at a computer monitor, raise the monitor so the top is level with your eyes when sitting, and about an arms length away. If you're using a laptop for long periods, don't, or get an external monitor that can be put at the proper height. Not so sure about reading from books...
Most "office chairs", even the $1000+ "ergonomic" ones, are terrible for posture. Any chair that slants back, forcing your hips to tilt backward it also to be avoided. Couches that put your knees above your hips and the back several feet in: worst invention ever for posture unless you can sit cross legged on one.
Better yet, get a good kneeling chair. I got one about 7 years ago and swear by them. Most of the time I don't even use the knee pads and just keep my feet on the floor. Sitting upright is just the natural thing to do with these chairs. I used to have back and shoulder problems, but now my sitting does not cause problems even when I sometimes sit 10 hours a day, and I have excellent posture. Even when I sit on "regular" chairs now I sit as described above out of habit, and find it way more comfortable.
codediporpal This is without a doubt one of the most helpful responds I've received on TH-cam. Thank you for taking the time! I'm sitting at the front of my chair as we speak. I've never heard of a kneeling chair, but did some online research and now I'm very intrigued! Going to try some in a store later this week to see if it the right height for my desk before I purchase one. The search continues but thanks to you I'm on the right track :)
***** Thank you Liz! The tip to use your eyes instead of neck is a really good one! Something I can work on :)

when will ted finally come to the talk?
This video reminded me to the time i played video games in my pc when lockdown started for so long (with arms unsupported) that when i stand up i immediately collapsed with a very intense pain in my lower back. I couldn’t stand up for hours and had to be taken to the doctor the next day. I remained a whole week during bed recovering and had to eat food in a very awkward and uncomfortable position because i couldn’t stand up straight effectively. Now a days i thankfully changed my habits and i do lots of exercise. I really do not wish what happened to me to anyone! It was scary.
I'm 6 foot 4 (at full height) and I fear that when I properly stand up straight, other people might think that I'm trying to act like I'm superior to them or something :/ This is why I slouch quite badly.
ElAshtonio I think you've been blessed with height, so you should stand up straight and be proud. How you talk and treat others is what matters. not your posture ^ ^
Why on earth do you give a fuck about what some other people would think about you? And why are you sacrificing your health for someone elses stupid opinions?

Look how he went down i cant lmao
bruh what? literally every Yoga strech is for good posture how don't you know that?
*sits up straight*
whoever worked on the animation for this, you're doing great guys. It was pretty funny XD
That little stretching done around 3:55 is Surya Namaskar yoga do check it out if u r interested, it is very beneficial.
is it just me, or does being taller than most affect ur posture? i always look downward and slouch because i feel awkwardly giant compared to my friends
Yeah I think so and I’ve also heard that being on the taller side increases the chances of having more back problems when you’re older
Utilize that power to the maximum extent. Stand straight.
Me too

nah, you should stand tall with them shoulders open.

what if you dont have x-ray vision to check if your spine is in correct form?
take a picture of yourself in the mirror, your side parallel to the mirror. Wearing light clothing or even just underwear is recommended. Then, take that picture and draw that line.
*then you're boned*
I love this kind of unique style of animation
Check out a youtube channel called "kurz gesagt" it has the same type of flat design with very educational videos.
How excellent the animation are in each video with perfectly soothing voice and a perfect lesson
The Exercise they suggested on last few seconds which called "Suryanamaskar" is something great that we all have to do 🙏🏼

As someone with chronic poor posture for 20+ years, I cannot urge proper posture enough. I have been dealing with chronic pain for many years now, and the last 3 years my neck has been causing serious bilateral issues to my arms and hands. Doctors call it RSI, but it's actually due to nerve entrapment from very short and tight muscles. It's been very difficult to try to tackle this issue, so prevention is key. Take it seriously or deal with the consequences.

lmao same, i just do it out of instinct
i have scoliosis and people tell me i have very BAD posture. i never really cared..... until i learned my friends mom calls me hunch back. that doesn't make me feel to good.i have been trying really hard to fix my posture.
At least the hunch back had a disney movie after him..idk
I would hunch my back in high school, until one day I heard a couple of girls walking behind me talking about my posture while laughing. I've tried a lot harder since :P
PuffofLightning I have experience all these!! I heard people talking about me behind me as well.. It all started bc I was shy when I was the tallest when I was a kid and I dont like standing out (but back then I dont know it will make me even more stand out) and felt insecure so I always slouch and also when I'm walking pass many people, I am not confident and then it all become a habit.. School also the main factor
Nobody talked about me behind my back because I always found out and I told everyone I’d be 10 times as pissed if I found out they said something about me behind my back. Last person to do it was 4 years ago maybe and I hit them with a chair.
Pffft. I would never change tge way I look because of some other people's opinions.

a pillow between my legs?while sleeping?that's impossible.when I sleep I spin like a beyblade.(okay maybe not this much but you get the idea)
I had no idea it helped your posture before this video, but I've always slept on my side, head supported, with a pillow between my legs. I was very surprised when they mentioned that
The pillow might seem odd at first, but it seems so much more comfortable, and I find it nearly impossible to sleep without cushion now
CrystalsLPS ayy same here I've been doing a pillow. Between my legs since I was a little kid
I do it all the time,I just use the side of the duvet.
