Perfect Posture For Modeling

Hello, I'm Chita Johnson. I'd like to welcome you in learning how to become a professional model. The first thing I'd like to show you in this clip is how to attain perfect posture. Posture is so important in becoming a professional model. First of all I'd like to show you bad posture and I'm going to stand with my profile to you. So you can clearly see that even if I stoop just a little or a lot. It hinders my posture. This is actually bad posture and so many people walk around like this as you clearly see in the malls and around schools in town. Now if you want to you can even make it worse by slumping over more but what I'd like for you to do is look at good posture by pulling your shoulders back and pressing the shoulder blade down. You clearly pull in the stomach muscles and it relaxes your whole body. What we want to remember is when when we bring our finger tips up to our shoulders. We are lightly pressing them down, our hands can go back to our side with our shoulders slightly coming backward. This is very important that you attain perfect posture. Also what really helps your chest is to pull in your stomach muscles so that then your entire body relaxes and you can just relax as you attain perfect posture. As you can clearly see now I have pressed my shoulders down slightly back and my stomach muscles are in and then a front view of perfect posture. You know attaining perfect posture requires practice and it really helps if you have a mirror. So you can look in the mirror and see yourself. At a profile and notice if your shoulders are slumped. Then you're having bad posture. You can notice in the mirror by pulling the shoulders up. Pressing slightly down and back, you're attaining perfect posture. It takes practice and even when you begin to walk often times your shoulders began to slump and fall back into a slumped position. Again reminding yourself to practice. Keep your shoulders down and back as you stand and walk.
