Top 5 Reasons Why Posture Exercises Are the Best Exercises to Fix Posture

I celebrated a major exercise and life milestone on September 27, 2026. This day marked my doing the best exercises to fix posture—the exercises in my Posture Exercises Method—for 10 consecutive years.

Let me say this again: Ten consecutive years. This is 3,653 days!

My streak might've actually began in April 2016, but I can't recall whether I missed a day in September while traveling back from a trip to Asheville, North Carolina, so I peg my streak to this day of arrival home as the yardstick.

Regardless, I meant it when I signed a contract with myself right about the time I began offering the Posture Exercises Method to clients that I would not miss a day moving forward. It has been important to me—and I believe it should be important to prospective and existing clients—that I lead by example and show for myself so I can show up for my clients, too. By now, I'm at or very close to having done the best exercises to fix posture for 99 percent off all days since April 2010, when I had my first session.

I have other motives as well. I love how I feel doing the best exercises to fix posture day in and day out, and I never want to return, for even a single day, to how I used to feel when strain and pain ravaged my body.

Allow me to take you on a tour of what I've learned over the past decade of doing the best exercises to fix posture. My goal is to illuminate and inspire so that we work together and you launch your own neverending streak of days committed to doing the best exercises to fix posture!

Let's explore the top 5 reasons why the Posture Exercises Method's exercises to fix posture can be highly effective and open your life in different ways.

Exploring the Top 5 Reasons Why Posture Exercises Are the Best Exercises to Fix Posture

Committing to and Following Through With a Daily Practice of the Best Exercises to Fix Posture Will Put You in Pole Position to Achieve Success—If Your Routines Are Robust in Time, Variety and Effort Required

When you commit to an everyday practice of doing the best exercises to fix posture and actually follow through with this commitment, you have a tremendous opportunity to fix your posture to a degree that you sit, stand, walk, run, jump and otherwise move extremely well. Of course, the degree to which you succeed with these static poses and movements depends on how robust your practice of the best exercises to fix posture actually is. This means that you need to strengthen your body and not just tone it, and this calls for a serious time investment.

I would say that my Posture Exercises Method routines have averaged 55 minutes over the course of the past 10 years. When I first got going with posture exercises, in April 2010, my routines ran 40 to 45 minutes. They remained about this long until spring 2016, when I studied posture exercises intently while an Egoscue Institute student and began putting in 75 minutes daily for about 18 months before combining some exercises and trimming my exercise routines to 50 to 60 minutes.

Additionally, your practice of doing the best exercises to fix posture needs to address all your postural muscles, so this means that your posture exercises routines need to be varied enough over a weekly period so that your whole body is getting the work it needs. Doing the same 10 posture exercises daily for weeks and months on end likely will cause some key muscles to be underworked, and this will affect your body's performance when called to action.

Moreover, if you suffer from chronic pain and are merely trying out some posture exercises you see in articles and videos and are hoping these are, indeed, exercises to fix posture, you might find yourself disappointed in your results. It was only when I got the help I needed by hiring a posture coach and performance coach and commiting to a multiple-sessions package the puzzle pieces began snapping into place. When on a trip, you have a destination in mind, and you put in the time and money to get there. There are no shortcuts for going from A to Z. It is hard work, but it is all worthwhile.

Practicing the Best Exercises to Fix Posture Instills in You a Supreme Sense of Self-Satisfaction That You Are Steering Your Health Destiny

As was the case for me, most folks who get into posture exercises are truly seeking effective exercises to fix posture. Many of these individuals already suffer from acute and/or chronic pain—from neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, hip pain, knee pain and ankle pain to arthritis, herniated discs, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome—and they're wanting genuine and lasting results.

When you put in the time and do the work, your body will certainly respond well when you practice the best exercises to fix posture. So much so that you, like I have many times along my journey, might wonder which is sweeter: that you feel so good in the present moment, that you expect to continue to feel good as you grow older or that you—yes, you!—actually put an end to the chronic pain that had been.

I have watched family members in their upper years lose mobility, resulting in drastic losses in quality of life. No matter how hard I tried to impress upon them that practicing posture exercises regularly is critical for health and life, my pleas fell on deaf ears.

Just as a posture coach friend once told me, "You can't want it more than them," when I relayed my challenge in directing one client to do exercises with precision to maximize results, the same sentiment applies with my feeling about the masses. As much as I want the whole world to embrace the Posture Exercises Method, but, because of how the world has been structured by nefarious forces, it is the rare seeker, the truly desperate and the folks with the funds to invest in themselves who are going to pursure a practice of doing the best exercises to fix posture.

Did traditional physical therapy, which I pursued in 2000, at the dawn of my chronic-pain challenges, ever make me feel like I was improving or in charge of my healing? Nope.

Those who go all the way with the Posture Exercises Method surely will be in command, as much as possible, of their health destinies.

Beyond the Best Exercises to Fix Posture Are Exercises That Challenge All the Body's Muscles

Several months into my posture exercises journey as part of my effort to correct my posture, I recall asking my posture coach whether I should be given an exercise to focus on my abdominals. The answer was "No."

The posture exercises I received focused squarely on posture. Some muscles less critical for posture might get engaged during some movements, poses and stretches, but I was told that the best exercises to fix posture were the ones that primarly focused on the muscles critical for posture. The bottom line is that most posture therapists are not going to give you posture exercises that turn you into Arnold Schwarzenegger or Sylvester Stallone.

Years later, while shadowing a different posture coach as I got my sea legs as a posture coach of my own, I recall asking about how all the different posture exercises I had just studied could impact the body from a strength standpoint. I was told that I could do my posture exercises first and then could do another separate strength-training workout.

To me, though, this represents a misssed opportunity, as most people don't have 30 to 60 minutes to give to a daily practice of the best exercises to fix posture plus an entire separate workout running equally as long. I used this answer as fuel to find a way to incorporate more cardiovascular and strength training in my posture exercises routines, and my results have been spectacular.

You see, while following the guidance I was taught as part of my Egoscue Method sessions as a client and Egoscue Institute education as a student, my body continually would "outgrow" my posture exercises routines. My body would crave more and different movements, poses and stretches. Come summer 2017, I was motivated to make my Posture Exercises Method the best experience for myself and clients who were ready for advanced training.

By combining some posture exercises to save time and leveraging calistenics bursts that enable me to compete with and continually challenge myself, I have acheived extraordinary cardiovascular and strength gains. At 49 years young, I am able to, as of this writing, do as many as 632 push-ups with my feet raised 16 inches in just 150 seconds. This is 4.21 push-ups a second! This is just one example of how timed calisthenics can be incorporated into a routine of the best exercises to fix posture for not just posture gains but for endurance and strength.

Not only am I stronger but I am no longer chasing the next posture exercises routine to do. I have a bunch in rotation, and they satisfy me. This is the power of the Posture Exercises Method! Your body as a whole will be strong, not just your posture muscles.

When You Do the Best Exercises to Fix Posture, Your Mind Will Gravitate Toward Improving Ergonomics to Give Yourself the Best and Most-Efficient Results

My Egoscue Method and Egoscue Institute training did not highlight the importance of sound ergonomics to help support your posture and not cause you to have to continually fix things that needlessly get misaligned every day. The more time I committed to practicing the best exercises to fix posture, the more I valued efficiency in tackling the deeper issues and not having to waste time in addressing surface-level issues because of poor ergonomics.

My posture exercises journey has led me to look at everything I do and to put a big lens on how I can make tasks better so my tip-top posture can hold well thoughout each day. One of the key things for me has been to focus on optimal seating and standing positions and to leverage a sit-stand desk while using a computer. Additionally, I zeroed in on the best placement for computer keyboards and trackpads (pass on the mice, as they torque the wrists) and monitor.

My posture exercises journey has also led me to wedge pillows. Since 2015, I have invested in no small number of wedge pillows, which I use in bed for working on a laptop computer, reading, watching television, playing video games and meditating. I have gotten so much use of of these versatile and creatively designed wedge pillows that I was inspired to open WedgePillows.net, featuring a store and blog. I encourage you and loved ones to have a look around the Wedge Pillows Store and Blog and consider all the many ways you can leverage these supportive pillows for use in bed, on your sofa or on a floor.

I have also made adjustments with my bed. I invested in an ultra-firm standard-foam mattress (the firmest I could find) with minimal cushioning that cost a fraction of what major companies charage, and my sleep and my posture experience over, literally, one-third of my life (just while sleeping, that is) has improved by leaps and bounds.

My posture exercises journey and deep interest in enhacing ergonomics has helped make all the difference in how I feel throughout each hour of every day as well as my posture and body mechanics and mobility.

When You Engage in the Best Exercises to Fix Posture Every Day, You Will Feel Incredibly Capable, Confident and Youthful

It must be said that my journey to start doing the best exercises to fix posture began just nine days before I imbibed my first green smoothie. My health story is a story of intertwined practices like brother-sister vines climbing ever higher toward the sun: posture exercises and a fruitarian lifestyle. It is impossible for me to completely separate how I feel having practiced posture exercises from how I feel having eaten huge quantities of fruits for breakfast and lunch with smaller raw vegan salads for dinner since 2011. My commitment to my fruitarian diet practice measures up every bit to my commitment to my posture exercises practice.

But I know that, without my practice of the best exercises to fix posture, my body would not feel as good, look as good or move as well. I know that, without my practice of the best exercises to fix posture, my body would experience strain and pain. I would not have been able to resolve chronic back and neck pain as well as carpal tunnel syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome, all of which negatively affected by body, mind and spirit for an entire decade. I know that, without my practice of the best exercises to fix posture, I would not feel as incredibly capable, confident and youthful as I do today, 10 months away from my 50th birthday. Contrast this mindset with the mindset of most middle-age folks, complaining about neck, back or joint pain and popping pills, and it's easy to spot the difference.

If you're young and want to stay feeling and looking young, the Posture Exercises Method can be your special tool to not only fix posture but prevent posture-related health conditions from ever surfacing to the point that they affect your day-to-day life. If you're past your midway point in life and suffering from chronic pain and/or want to be able to move around and enjoy freedom in life as you continue to age, the Posture Exercises Method can be your special tool to give you the edge in life you desire.

Separately, if you're keen on leveraging my Fruit-Powered Lifestyle to add fuel to your Posture Exercises Method fire, I offer guidance via my Raw Vegan Coaching Program. You'll learn all about what I and many others believe to be our natural, species-specific diet and how to approach a whole new way of eating and living.

To my knowledge, I'm the only person alive who's combined the best exercise, posture exercises, with the best diet, a fruitarian diet, and the results are extraordinary and the greatest blessing of my life!
