2. YOUR BIG LEG MUSCLES
Problem tight muscles that work too hard.
The big muscles on the front and the top half of your leg form one of the strongest muscle groups in the human body. The simplest way for you to move your leg forward is to use these muscles - so you use them all the time. However, since you also sit down a lot, these strong muscles grow used to being in a shortened position. This shortening curtails your range of movement, and throws off the alignment of the spine, directly contributing to lower-back pain. It is an unfortunate - yet extremely common - chain reaction. The big leg muscles are overused at the expense of the muscles in your bottom and down the back of your legs - these muscles are brilliant at burning up calories, and are vital for the shape and tone of the lower body. Here , you'll learn how to change your wrong habits to use all these muscles correctly, so your body becomes balanced, toned and elongated, while burning off more calories.
3. Your head, neck and upper back.
Problem: limited movement and asymmetry.
Our modern lifestyles wreak havoc on this area of the body. All those hours hunched in the wrong posture, or carrying objects and children in the wrong way, lead to stiff shoulders and back. And this makes your shoulders slump forward (see picture) and you spine stiffen - a major cause of back pain. The result is a clunky way of moving, not to mention a lot of pain and discomfort. The shoulders should be relaxed and down.
