I was experiencing some neck pain, and went online in search of some at-home remedies. Of the remedies, posture was one of them which got me thinking: “Does posture really matter that much?”.

So will fixing my posture help with my neck pain and grant me numerous other benefits i see on these blogs?

    On day one, do one push up. Day two, two. Sounds a bit ridiculous, but it gradually builds difficulty.

    Crucially, it is not all in one sitting. On day 10, if needed, do five when you wake up, and five before bed.

    Break it up into something achievable. And if you miss a day, don’t sweat it. Again, the idea is to start to build, or rebuild strength and flexibility, the exercises themselves barely matter; you could do planks instead, for example.

      Wow. Super hard. I may try it but I don’t think I can do more than 20 or 25, even spreading them in 5 repetitions.

        Don’t worry about what you can or can’t do four weeks from now. Stay focused on what you need to do this week.
