00:00Do you ever catch yourself slouching or notice your shoulders pulling forward more than they used

00:05to? You're not alone. After 60, posture changes happen quietly, but the good news is you can

00:12improve it at any age. Today, I'll show you simple habits that help you stand taller,

00:18breathe easier, and feel more confident. As we age, our spine, muscles, and joints

00:24slowly lose strength. Years of sitting, phone use, or simply daily life pull the shoulders forward.

00:32Posture doesn't collapse overnight. It just needs a little love and attention. Good posture isn't

00:38just about looking taller. It helps you breathe better, walk more smoothly, even improves digestion

00:44and moods. Straightening up is like giving your whole body more space. Begin your day with a

00:50gentle shoulder blade squeeze. Bring your shoulders back and imagine tucking your shoulder blades into

00:56your back pockets. Hold for three seconds. Release. Your head is like a bowling ball. When it leans

01:03forward, your neck works extra hard. Try this. Gently lift your chin, lengthen the back of your neck,

01:11and imagine a string pulling you upward. As we age, chest muscles become tight. This simple stretch

01:20opens the front of your body and helps you stand straighter. Sit tall on a chair. Place your hands

01:27on your thighs. Lift your chest. Relax your shoulders. Imagine your spine rising like a warm sunrise.

01:36You don't need crunches for a strong core. Sit or stand tall. Lightly pull your belly inward.

01:43Just a small activation. This supports your spine all day long. Tight hips pull the spine forward.

01:50To release them, take a small step forward. Gently lean and breathe into the front of your hip.

01:57Try this anytime. Stand against a wall. Your head, shoulders, and hips should gently touch.

02:04This resets posture and reminds your body what straight feels like. When you walk, imagine you're

02:11leading with your chest, not your head. Small changes like this help you move confidently and reduce back

02:16strain. You don't have to be perfect. Even a few minutes a day makes a real difference. Be gentle

02:24with yourself. Stand tall. And remember, confidence is a posture too. If this helped you feel more open
