#61 - Sitting Up Straight Can Actually Help You Perform Better!

Remeber when you were told in class to sit up straight (we do!). There's a reason for this. Meet Angela McCuiston, NASM-CPT, CES, SFS and CETI-CES (Certified Personal Trainer and Corrective Exercise Specialist, Senior Fitness Specialist and Cancer Exercise Specialist) and owner of MUSIC STRONG, a business that specializes in personal fitness training for musicians. If you've been dealing with back ache, headaches, muscle tension, numbness or fatigue, during or after playing your instrument, then this is definitely the episode for you to listen to! Angela shares how to correct bad posture habits when performing (or rehearsing), and can show you how you can feel better in the long run, simply by making just a few simple adjustments in your daily routine.
