Book Review: The Posture Reset: A Starter Guide to Improve Your Posture, Address Tech Neck, Ease Pain, and

    


 
The Posture Reset: A Starter Guide to Improve Your Posture, Address Tech Neck, Ease Pain, and Work Better From Home by Mallory Morrison  
Have tried with exercising to straighten up a lot more. I also with walking sticks am able to wait with back straight. I remember my grandfather would run his fingernail up my mothers back so she'd straighten up. I even tried back braces to help. Now I just do exercises, many of which are outlined in this book.
Dived right into this book and appreciate all the technical things dealing with pecs and back muscles and the spine.
Like the analogy of stretched muscles, so easy to understand what's going on.
Book also shows diagrams of where these are all located making it easy to follow along.
There are specific parts of the spine along with their real name and how to tend to them.
Major sections describe what to do at work for not only exercises but the desk, chair and mouse an, keyboard and monitor to help you sit up straight. Also a list of different brands of seats are discussed.
Parts I like the best are where the exercises are. I already do exercises to strengthen bone density and some of the exercises are what I have been doing 3 times a week. 
Even sleep positions is discussed in detail. I do sleep on my back which is what they prefer you to do.
Breathing and mindfulness is also a major thing for your back.
Lots of exercises for you to do while at work when you have a break. You can easily do them at home as well.
Each exercise has a title with brief summary paragraph of what part it targets. A section where it states what muscles are targeted.
How to do it is simple words and tell you how to do the exercise and there is a sample of a person doing the exercise so you can make sure you have it right.
Definitely some to add to my normal routine. Book finishes with references.
A KEEPER, keep this one handy for daily movements.
