    This is great Kayla. I have a teen that slouches a lot. I am going to show this to the kids tonight and maybe this will help him.

    Thanks for the video! I think I was definitely straining my traps….was trying to force shoulders down.

    thanks for the reminder!! I think I’ve also been tiring my traps out..they’re always sore and I still slouch anyways. Will start practicing this right away!

    Great Kayla! Thanks for sharing! I hope to use this with some in my class–I know a few of them still aren’t getting the shoulders back correctly so this should really help!

    Hi, I am a hairstylist, been one for years, and I have noticed a trend in recent years….which is more and more clients are slouchers….I think it has to do with the use of computers and cell phones (texting/gaming,etc.) I constantly struggle with continually asking people to sit up straight in the chair. I am short,so when a person slouches, it is very challenging for me to reach the correct way, thus causing me to have to slouch…..We need to educate our kids not to slouch again….there is a whole new generation coming up that is going to have terrible neck/back troubles.

    I am doing this along with you and when I lifted my ribs it began to ache in the middle of my back. What does this mean?

      Hey! You are probably trying to squeeze the shoulder blades together a little too much. Aim to activate down the sides of the back—does that make sense?

    This video was so inspiring. I’ve been trying to ribs up all day today and yesterday. My back gets tired after a while though. 😀

      Kayla, I did a two week challenge of focusing on my posture and I wanted to share my results! I lost a total on 1.25 inches everywhere by focusing on my posture and doing a few simple floor exercises almost every day (ESLA, OIPHF, LB, CC). So excited!

    Kayla, I just signed up for your program, and this video is very instructive. As I was following your instructions, I did feel some ache (not really pain) in the right where you showed the position of the lats. Is that feeling those muscles being activated?

    Kayla, I'm a new T-Tapper and after 6 weeks just now figuring out the "lift ribs" move and that my traps are not my lats. You gave such great visual demos. That helped because I'm not much of a science or anatomy person.

    Hi Kayla, Im a newbie to t-tapp and I couldnt see the video past the first few seconds. I have just finished day 4 of the Instructional #1 Basic Workout Plus; I have had so much energy since I began that I over did it in doing alot of deep cleaning around the house…so this morning I woke up to a swollen knee! Common sense is telling me to rest it and see how i am tomorrow? Also, Is there a posting of the word meanings used in t-tapp: BWO, PBS, eod, etc.  Thank you for your blog(-:

      Kathy, good question!  Yes, you should rest it.  Be sure to head over the the T-Tapp forum at http://www.T-Tapp.com and you’ll find TONS of great info there!! Wishing you the BEST with your T-Tapp journey!!

      Kayla
