Do you have good posture?  

I have horrible posture. I am actually hunched over typing right now. I slouch all the time. It does not seem to affect my back at all. At least not that I have noticed yet.

I try very hard to keep good posture, but I have damage in my spine so good posture hurts! I try to imagine a steel rod down my spine, which isn't too far from the truth!LOL! I stay this way especially on the computer, and when I rest, I lay down instead of sitting. Chairs and car seats are not easy for me.

I think I am okay with my posture. Many years ago I discovered that I have a slight curvature of my spine, which causes me to be round shouldered. I make a point often of straightening my shoulders.

Also, when I am on the computer, I sit with my back straight. It makesa a big difference. Despite the number of hoiyrs I spend on the computer, I never get an aching neck.

I've always had a very good posture. I may be harming it recently because I've started needing glasses to see the coumputer screen clearly but the ones I have require me to be too close and thus I lean in too much. If I sit farther back I can get by without the glassed but then typing is uncomfortable.

Not really. I tend to slouch when I sit, but I suppose my standing posture is a little better. It honestly feels better for my back to slouch a little, but I know it's not good for my back. It just feels more comfortable.

I was told many years ago that I have very bad posture. Sad thing is, I was not even aware of it then. I just thought I was okay with it. I did have back problems back then, a lot. Over the recent years, I knew that bad posture was getting into me. Recently, I have been taking measures in correcting my posture. I aim to develop proper sitting and standing habits to develop good posture. I need it, especially in the aging years to come. My back aches have lessened which I think is a good sign. I am continuing developing better posture. It is for my own good.

I have very bad posture, but I'm trying to be more aware of it. I realized that slouching and such makes me look like I have more of a belly than I do if I'm standing or sitting up straight. Still, it's difficult to correct long years of bad posture. I used to study belly dancing, and posture was important there too, so I just try to get back into my belly dancing posture, and it helps a lot.

Used to have proper posture but the more I sit for longer hours working on my computer the more slouching is becoming a bad habit. Good for you that you're now doing Aikido. Lately, I'm trying a belly dancing routine exercise. I've been having mild neck and back aches and the routine helps.

I have o.k. but having a large chest is what I think hurt my back.
