FIGURE 1. Poor Posture and Abdominal Training
© Paul Chek Seminars 1999 Those regularly performing crunch and sit-up type exercises frequently demonstrate forward head posture (A); note that when head carriage is normal the dotted line through the cheekbone should fall in the same vertical plane as the sternum and pubic symphysis. (B) As the rectus abdominus becomes chronically shortened, it pulls the chest downward, increasing first rib angle; this is commonly associated with shoulder dysfunction and impingement of the nerves feeding the arm as they exit the cervical spine. (C) As the hip flexors strengthen and shorten from chronic exposure to the sit-ups, leg extension and leg lowering exercises commonly used in abdominal workouts the lower abdominal and hamstring muscles are lengthened, frequently demonstrating positional weakness. The postural changes demonstrated here are common among today’s athletes and can be corrected through improved control and strengthening of the inner unit musculature.
