Proper posture for a beautiful spine and buttocks



Most people will tell you among the most beautiful parts of a woman’s body is her back.  It’s thus important to put a little effort into the way we sit and work every day to ensure our backs age nicely.  I’m sure you’ve seen those 30-something year old women with drooping flab that hangs off the front of your body.  Improper posture when seated can contribute to this.
So what is proper posture?  It involves sitting in a chair that puts your legs at a 90 degree angle.  Keep your back straight and never hunch over (this can happen if you chair is too high for your desk).  If you work at a computer, your hands should also rest on the desk at a 90 degree angle (or as close to it as you can get).  Never strain to see a computer screen.  Your head should be elevated and looking straight forward, or slightly downwards.
Be sure to take regular breaks to stretch your back and other muscles.  I work at a desk and always stand up for a few minutes every half an hour or so.  Never crack your back or twist it.  Try not to fall into the habit of leaning back into your chair when you are working as this compresses the spine and can lead to back pain down the road.
Now a word about preserving the beauty of your buttocks while working in a job that demands sitting for long periods of time.  It is very important the seat of your chair is soft.  When you sit for long periods of time, blood will begin to pull in your buttocks (disgusting, I know) and this can cause a darkening or reddening of the skin, particularly in the folds between the underside of your buttocks and legs.  To avoid this, you need to get up and walking around from time to time and sit so that your buttocks is flush to your seat (leaning back can make your buttocks fold over the top part of your legs).
