FIXING THE "TALL GIRL SLOUCH"

I partnered up with Amalli Talli to share some great ideas for fixing the "Tall Girl Slouch"!  

Training a tall girl brings an extra element into the training program - the "Tall Girl Slouch". Rounded shoulders, head protruding forward and a posterior tilt in the pelvis (hips rolled under). When designing a fitness program for women of height, it is essential to first work on mobility and emphasize correct posture and form. Our body is in a disadvantage when posture is not aligned. However, there are a few things you can start doing today to put yourself on the right track towards better posture and standing tall and proud!

There will be some very specific muscles to stretch and strengthen for a tall girl! I won't go into all of the science-y details, but we need to stretch the chest + upper shoulders/upper back + hip flexors AND strengthen the mid-back + glues + hamstrings. Let's take a look at how you can do just that!
