Does Anyone Have That One Pic From FF7 Where Cloud’s Name Is Gay420gay And Aeris Is Coolranch

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

I can't believe the true message of FF7 has been lost over time: acts of terror against major corporations are morally correct

Lan Ghost #1: I knnnew it. I KNEW it. That Lan Wangji was a trouble maker from the start!

Madam Lan: Don’t look at me! He gets it from YOUR side of the family!

Lan Ghost #2: He’s just trying to help his friend! 

Lan Ghost #1: Pffff “friend”.

Lan Ghost #3: If he tries to protect Wei Wuxian, Gusu Lan will be implicated, dishonour will befall the family, traditional values will disintegrate -

Lan Ghost #4: Not to mention Wei Wuxian apparently already HAS a child. 

Lan Ghost #3: My disciples never got into such trouble, they all became wandering healers.

Qingheng-jun: Well, we can’t ALL be wandering healers.

Lan Ghost #1: No, your son just has to fall in love with a NECROMANCER!

Qrow with James: bird held tight

Qrow with Clover: bird just might

It's a lot healthier to go for a daily walk than to sign up for a gym membership you won't be using because you hate that kind of exercise. It's a lot healthier to eat a frozen meal than to skip a meal because you were too tired to cook something healthy. It's a lot healthier to take a quick shower than to procrastinate an elaborate routine for days. Don't aim so high that you won't be hitting anything!
