I tried a few of the exercises you mentioned in this post and read all your comments and now have a few questions. In the hip flexor stretch it kinda hurt my knee. I felt a pulling of my knee of the leg of the hip being stretched. What do you think I am doing wrong? Also, for reverse flys I only feel them in my arm and they strain my neck. I am only use 2 lb weights (I can't lift higher for this exercise), I do it on a chair and lift my arms out to the side. I am trying to squeeze my shoulder blades together but it just doesn't seem to be working the back of my shoulders and upper back. Any tips? Should my neck be hurting? I tried the neutral spine thing you mentioned up above, but it still feels like there is pressure in the neck for this pose and the rows. Thanks so much :) Great post…..my posture sucks!

Katie- ha, its ok. as i was explaining nuetral, i realized some people might not get what i was saying. your spine is is a straight line (for the most part). when you stand up straight and look ahead in front of you, your spine is straight. this is neutral-its not bent like if you were to look down or up or to the side. so if you tilt your entire body foward, like if you lean forward during your flyes, your head should stay in the mae position- now your spine is still straight but just tilted- not bent or twisted or anything. so if you just bend slightly forward, you should be looking kind f down, but dont bend your neck. if you are in a squat position, to keep your back straight, you would still be looking ahead. chris- i found the pic on some sight, and it said he is 17, so, yeah. hes a baby. and probably roided out of his gourd. mizfit- if you would like to relocate im here for ya! its doesnt rain THAT much here….
