    Posture is a big deal and if you find yourself slumping a lot (not just because your tired and you've fallen in to the couch to watch your favorite show) but because you need to be more vigilant on what your body is telling you and that is, time to strengthen the muscles that help you have good posture, while also taking care of your spine and other related joints.

These include your rhomboids (an upper back muscle that connects your shoulder blades to your rib cage), mid to lower trapezius (the muscles across the back of your neck and upper back), and your rear deltoids (the back of your shoulders). There are short videos representing the workout movements and a few pictures. Come on!! You can do this!
