The document discusses modifications to techniques for improving posture while running or walking. It introduces a "C shape" concept for proper spinal alignment. A new technique is described for aligning the head and neck without using hands. The technique involves brushing the hands upward on the back of the neck while lifting the head to touch the sky, which stretches the neck muscles and allows the chin to drop naturally into proper position. Practicing this simple exercise is said to quickly strengthen posture and lighten foot strikes by preventing downward motion of the upper body.

Just after experiencing the publications ChiRunning and ChiWalking We have decided to
alter several of the factors I train about posture portion. http://posturedoctor.org
It's a crucial part of the "C" shape which is a new concept I've been working with… and which
was not mentioned in the ChiRunning book.
As possessing a appear through ChiRunning Posture Image you should see that ‘C’ shape is
super imposed on it topic. If you look at the direction the arrows are pointing, you'll see that
the arrows begin at T12/L1 and move in opposite directions. Arrows in upper section of ‘C’
shape go up to present the lengthening of neck and those positioning downwards at head
front area, finally ends at chin point. If you see the lower section of ‘C’ shape you will see
arrows pointing towards the tail bone, returning back to pelvic area and end at the point of
public bone.
Practice getting yourself into the "C" shape whenever you feel your posture
slipping…whether you're sitting at your desk, standing, walking or working. You will get great
feeling of having your mind and body at one place with no slipping or pulling downwards.
Your posture is critical for your movement and your structural support. When you have strong
physical center, it has a direct influence on your mental and emotional well being. So never
depart practising to correct posture as your existence excellent depends on it.
Since the release of the ChiRunning and ChiWalking books, I've made a few changes in how
I've taught some aspects of the posture portion. So, rather than waiting for the modifications
to return out during the 2nd Edition of your ChiRunning ebook (to become launched Spring
'09), I'm intending to jump in advance and let you in within the most up-to-date technique for
aligning your posture. I've been aligning myself this new way for about 6 months now and
seen it to get a substantially simplier and easier and faster method of getting aligned despite
the fact that strolling or operating.
In the ChiRunning and ChiWalking books we have you begin the posture stance by standing
with the ft parallel and hip-width apart with the knees not locked. After that, we go to
straightening your upper spine and this is where one of the changes comes in.
Just place one of your hand at your belly and place thumb and middle finger of other hand
under the collarbone. Pull the body downwards by using your lower hand and straighten your
upper body part by lifting it with upper hand placed at upper area. Now just use your index
finger to hold your chin upward and to align it with head and neck location. This is where I
began to see problems in the method, because some people have long necks and short

2. fingers or visa versa and it just wasn't operating exactly the same for all and sundry I arrived
throughout. Some people have low chin while other can have higher one. Another reason for
generating this modification is the fact that its awkward to utilise this technique of aligning
your self one time you are going. So, I needed to come up with a way that everyone would be
able to get their head in the right alignment without the use of their hands. Here it is…it's
easy.
Just place your hand at the back of your neck and then start brushing in upward direction.
While working on this follow just shift upward on the again within your head as you try to the
touch the sky because of the crown of your head. This motion will stretch all the muscles on
the back of your neck and allow your chin to naturally stay low. It will also help you straighten
your upper spine without the use of your hands.
All of us taking my going for walks and running class does this simple exercise. Just start
with standing in inadequate posture, then little by little shift upwards to the touch the sky with
head crown, earning spine robust and lengthen the backside of one's neck. These apply will
make you bolster your posture fast and will support to lighten your foot step by blocking the
downward motion of your respective upper entire body location.
You just really have to keep your neck in correct posture plus the backbone will move to its
position alone. You'll find it easier to level your pelvis and to relax your shoulders, keeping
them low.
