Video 715 | Posture Reset (30 mins) with Lauren Eirk
5 Day Fitness Plan
•
27-Oct-2025
This video will address common postural issues when sitting and standing. As gravity pushes against us, shoulders can roll forward, the spine can round, the hips can tuck under, and the legs and feet collapse into pronation. This can often lead to lower back pain and tightness, which is often due to muscle weakness.
In this workout, we will improve postural stability using the FIS 5-Step Isometrics Blueprint (TM) with bodyweight, a sponge ball, and dumbbells to strengthen weak muscles.
We begin with three isometric exercises for the shoulders, spine, and hips against the ground. After we practice these, we will work to integrate these into several multi-joint holds in quadruped and prone positions. Once control of these positional holds have been practiced we will transition into bodyweight hand-off movements with a new sense of how to engage our extensor muscles. As we begin to add load to these movements for the core, see how the core works in a stabilizing role as work to pick up free weights with the hips, back and shoulders. The workout finishes with a challenging exercise to optimize muscle health using dumbbells with many joints moving together.
