The Weight of It All – More Than Just Pounds
It’s not only about how much weight you carry—it’s about how your body carries it. Extra pounds and poor posture work together to create stress on your spine and joints.
✅ Every 1 pound lost from your frontside removes 4 pounds of pressure from your spine.
✅ Just 10 extra pounds adds 30–40 pounds of force on your knees with every step!
But here’s what most people don’t realize: posture changes everything.
When your pelvis shifts forward, your abdominal muscles slowly lengthen and weaken, compromising your core stability. To keep you balanced, your body compensates by shifting your head forward, creating a chain reaction throughout the spine.
In fact, a forward head posture can drive the same forward shift in your lower back. The result? The pain you feel in your lower back may actually be rooted in your neck. Over time, these imbalances create:
✔ Weak core muscles
✔ Improper joint alignment
✔ Uneven wear and tear
✔ Increased risk of injury—even from something as small as a missed step or minor fall
Your posture, weight, and core strength aren’t just about looks—they determine how your body ages and how you feel every single day.
