2 standing exercises to improve posture and strengthen muscles

Eat This, Not That offers 2 standing exercises to improve posture and strengthen muscles.

Deadlift

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold the dumbbells in your hands, relax in front of you. Keep your knees relaxed and your shoulders back, while bending down. Note: your eyes should look straight forward, bringing your hips down. Return to a straight position while tightening your glutes.

You should do 2-4 sets of 6-12 reps, 2-3 times a week. This is an exercise that works the back muscle chain to support posture.

Walking dumbbells

Hold heavy weights in both hands. Walk until your muscles feel tired. You should do it 2-4 times, each walk 30-60m, 2-3 times a week.

The exercise works the muscles of the legs, arms, torso, and core in one movement. Muscles affected in a vertical position help improve posture.

The common mistake in this exercise is not lifting heavy enough items to make you tired when traveling about 60m in 30-45 seconds.

If you persevere with a weight training regimen and last 4-6 weeks, you can achieve improved muscle growth and strength.

This can be determined by easier exercise, being able to lift heavier weights, or not feeling tired while trying to keep a person straight for a certain period of time.
