Skinny Ms. Fitness challenge:  Take this week to focus on your posture.  When you’re eating, watching television, walking or at your desk…be sure to set up straight and maintain a good posture.  After one week, also focus on your posture while performing other activities like cooking, driving, picking up children and other day to day activities.  Remember, it takes approximately 30 days for a habit to form.  Having good posture is one habit you can afford to continue.  Be sure to drop by my facebook page to let me know how you’re doing with your posture.   focus, focus, focus….
