Are there any exercises i can do to improve my walking posture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Core strengthening: Yes, you can improve your posture if you focus your effort on strengthening your core muscles. The abdominal, oblique, and back muscles work in conjunction to maintain a neutral position and, therefore, equilibrium of the spine. Use of a stability ball to perform core strengthening and conditioning exercises will help you improve and maintain good posture during both stance and gait phases.
