Don’t slouch, sit up straight, keep your head up. These are familiar sayings that all deal with the same thing: Posture. On this episode the guys discuss the importance of posture in our overall health, reasons for bad posture, how we measure it, and finding ways to correct it. 

We also bring back a good friend of the podcast, Brian Nguyen,  who deepens the conversation on posture with Gray and Lee, including the power of how you carry yourself.

So get ready for another episode of the Movement Podcast-- powered by FMS.
