It's cold out there.........

Well winter is upon us but have you ever noticed what effect the cold is having on the way you carry yourself? Are you pulling your head into your shoulders and holding onto your shoulders?

The effect of this is actually the opposite to what we want. This tightening in the muscles restricts blood flow to the tissues. So wrap up warm and invest in a scarf!! Let your head just balance ontop of your spine and leave your shoulders alone, allowing your arms to swing forward and back as you walk. Can you not tense your legs so much also? Think of them as reaching down to the ground instead of pulling up and in. Try it for yourself.
