Hangin’ tough
July 13, 2011
I’ve been slacking big time on going to Pilates class, and this research makes me wish I’d been going on the regular:
Good posture makes you tougher, according to findings published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology. Slouching can actually make you physically weaker, making you more sensitive to pain. Which suggests, for example, that instead of curling up into a ball when in pain, you should stand tall and hang tough so that you feel more in control and more powerful, which may increase your pain tolerance.
