Tips to ImproveYour Posture In the Classroom

Adjust your backpack: One of the reasons your back hurts is because the weight you carry on your backpack. The gap between your back and your backpack is what causes the stress to your back, though, which damages your posture

at the end. To fix this, adjust your backpack handles so it can be as close to your back as possible toavoidyourspine tocurveexcessively when carrying your backpack. 2. Unload your backpack: I know, I know, you have a biology exam tomorrow and you need to bring your chemistry book with you so you can do the lab properly. But carrying everything in your backpack and loading it with heavy school supplies is not good for your back or your posture. If at college, leave the heavy supplies at your dormitory or apartment and take a good walk home every time you need them (say yes

to exercise!) or carry them in your hands. This will -literally- take weight from your back and will improve your posture. 3. Wear both straps of your backpack: The cool kids walk around campus carrying their backpackson justoneshoulder,but thecoolkids also have bad posture and back problems.
