WHAT IS GOOD POSTURE?

 

POSTURE

There is no ideal posture since humans come in all shapes and sizes. The posture in which your back is put under the least strain, and is naturally and gracefully curved can be considered as ideal posture for you.

The muscles in your back should be relaxed without being slack and your spine should be gently S-shaped whether you are standing or sitting.
