"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
I've learned this from 2 years of pilates: your posture affects you in ways that you don't even realize. Most of us don't consciously think about our posture, and most of us don't automatically have a good one. With conscientious effort, you can improve your posture, and help yourself in so many ways, not the least of which is fewer injuries as you get older and your ability to balance decreases. Rather than undergoing expensive, and often ineffective, back surgery, do simple exercises a few minutes every day to strengthen your front core and deep back muscles - you'll be amazed at the results, and so much happier!

Posture problems are rampant, especially among those of us who work hunched over our keyboards all day. If you're not sure if your posture needs fixing or are sure and want some help, this guide from Men's Health is for you.
The first step is to analyze your alignment by having a friend take a full-body photo of you (with your shorts on) from the front and from the side. Then compare against the 7 points in the illustration above.
Check out the full article for the other six major posture corrections.
