Business Benefits of the PowerPosture
Program
© 2000, John Christman, Ph.D, - Biophysicist / Exercise Physiologist
The PowerPosture
program will help you to have the most successful career possible as an individual,
or to have the most productive and happy workforce possible as an employer. The program
increases people's physical, mental and interpersonal powers, which makes them more
capable of handling the increasing volume of increasingly complex work in today's
business world, and helps them to look their best while they do it! Here's how:
- Pain and fatigue are business productivity
killers, because these problems diminish concentration, on-the-job attitude, job
satisfaction, job longevity, and home life quality. PowerPosture exercises
increase productivity, because they:
- Reduce or eliminate neck, shoulder,
and upper back fatigue and pain from "job stress" or the physical demands
of a job, resulting in a better attitude, greater concentration, less absenteeism,
lower healthcare costs, and less employee turnover.
- Reduce lower back stress as the
result of the better upper body posture. Existing lower back problems will improve,
and the risk for future injuries will be less. (Note: Lower back health or lifting
safety programs which do not address upper body posture will never maximally reduce
injuries or health care costs! The Power Posture program can provide the missing
aspect of lower back health and safety training!)
- Increase energy level due to more
efficient muscle function.
- PowerPosture users present a better image - more healthy,
trim, energetic, vigorous, competent, confident, positive, enthusiastic, respectable
and honest - because of:
- Straight, correct posture automatically
, without having to think about it, so the first impression they make is always the
best possible.
- Gaining back some or all of the height
they have lost over the years.
- A trimmer appearance because of better
posture and a flatter stomach. ( In fact, the posture developed by PowerPosture must be present for the flattest stomach possible
)
- People with PowerPosture project self-respect, eliciting reciprocal respect
from others.
- PowerPosture use improves performance and decreases injury
risk in virtually all physical activities and sports. Speed , endurance strength,
vertical reach, and vertical jump will improve. Better performance and lower injury
risk will increase the likelihood of enjoying activity and sticking with a fitness
program, and thereby continuing to benefit from the mental and physical effects of
regular exercise.
PowerPosture users have a generally better attitude about
life and work because of the above changes.
