I have been overweight and large breasted for over a decade now and it has really done a number on my spine and my muscle strength, especially above the bra line.<br /><br />Although I'm no longer a 44G, even at a much-reduced 34DD, it's still a lot of weight to carry in front, especially if you're trying to maintain a decent posture.<br /><br />First, unfortunately, is my normal posture, followed by a more normal healthy position. I'm hoping these movements will help stretch and strengthen the deep muscles in my upper back near the spine.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8908894605996948889-7054864995106258068?l=callaneticsinfo.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Oh Suzannanoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908894605996948889.post-50391233603335086172008-05-14T19:00:00.000-07:002008-05-14T19:04:51.468-07:00Welcome to my blog. I created this blog to share insights and tips on Callanetics exercises and journal about my own progress and discoveries.<br /><br />You may have recently heard of Callanetics, which has retained an incredible following considering it first launched onto the scene nearly 22 years ago, or are picking it up again after an extended vacation.<br /><br />As a life-long "I hate exercise" person, I was amazed to finally find a program that I not only enjoyed, but that was incredibly effective and even relaxing. Callan refers to it as "Meditation in Motion" and I couldn't agree more!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8908894605996948889-5039123360333508617?l=callaneticsinfo.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Oh Suzannanoreply@blogger.com0
