Hi my name is Tanya Batts and I'm a personal trainer. Let's talk about postural stability exercises. The materials you will need for these exercises are weights and maybe a mat and just clear some space. When I think of that I think of posture. A great way to start is tip number one, shoulder shrug, two lightweights or even get you some heavy ones, it doesn't matter, just shrug the shoulders up and down. You're feet are about hip distance. You are standing nice and tall, lifting and lowering those weights. It's a great way to start. Another exercise, tip number two, I'm going on my hands and my knees so come on down, hands on your shoulders, knees under hips. You just want to do it opposite arm, opposite leg. You are balancing. You are using all those core muscles and you're strengthening the low back as well and then switch it. You just want to hold it for like ten seconds but that is quite challenging. Tip number three, a little bit more challenging but I know you can do it. We're coming all the way down, both arms in front, usually I do opposite arm, opposite leg but I'm going to make it a little harder for you. Both legs and both arms coming up at the same time, we're going to lift, we're going to lower. That's a good one, relax the shoulders down and back and those are three amazing exercises for your stability, for your posture.
