Imbalanced workouts worsen posture; balance strength and mobility

Regular gym workouts can worsen posture by reinforcing muscular imbalances, leading to stiffness and potential chronic pain. This happens when certain muscle groups are overused while others are neglected. Common strength-training practices, like focusing on pushing exercises, can strengthen front-body muscles without balancing them with back-body muscle work. This imbalance can pull the body forward, causing a rounded posture. To improve posture, balance pushing and pulling exercises, incorporate mobility drills, and prioritize proper form during workouts. These adjustments help build strength while enhancing movement and reducing stiffness.
