This is potentially life saving information everyone should know.
1. Keep the flexibility in your spine
2. Stretch the muscles in the front
3. Strengthen the muscle in the back
The goal is to give yourself a double or triple chin. Keep your nose pointing forward, don’t let it tip up or down
Thoracic extension- use a chair with a seat back that comes up to the level of your shoulder blades. Try to bend back over the top of the chair without arching away from the seat back and without extending your neck. If the pressure from the top of the chair is uncomfortable you can place a towel there
If this isn’t enough of a stretch you can do one side at a time. If you have the right arm up step forward with the right foot and turn slightly to the left. Then do it on the other side.
There are lots more exercises for strengthening your back muscles but this is a good starting point and easy to do. I like doing it while driving
Tips:
Do the best you can
If it hurts stop
Envision future you saying thank you each time you do one of the exercises
Hey! This has nothing to do with that I normally post but it's been bothering me since the news came out.
As you may know HBO max is removing many of their animated series for taxes write offs. Which basically is leaving them attempting to scrub these wonderful shows off of the internet.
As a creative myself I couldn't imagine have something that a me and my team have spent so much love and time on just to have a big corporation treat this work as nothing but means to make money. So please if any of these shows interest you watch them while you can and please show some love for those behind them.
Many in the animation industry have had to fight to get their stories out there.
I will also say piracy is in my eyes completely moral if the media in question has no way to purchase legally even those behind these shows are supporting illegally watching their shows. (Here's Owen Dennis, creator of Infinity Train twitter bio after this news.)
I do also recommend if you can to support those shows that are still available on other platforms if you are able!!!
List of titles leaving (Obtained from @CNschedules on twt)
I know this may not being impossible to my followers but I can't really put into words how devastating this is. Don't let corporations get awake with this blatant disrespect towards amazing people and their visions.
