5 REASONS NOT TO SKIP A WORKOUT

Just this once!

I’m too tired today…

Align your body in a straight line by keeping your ears above your shoulders and your shoulders in line with your hips, knees, and ankles. Don’t let your shoulders roll over or inward but imagine your shirt is hanging on a hanger. Not only will good posture make you appear thinner, but you’ll also have more energy and lung capacity.
