Is it bad that I slouch?

Is it bad that I slouch a lot? Like when im older will I have problems with my back?

Answer #1

If you slouch or walk bent over, in time your spine will arc - good posture is important and also makes a far better impression.

Answer #2

slouching makes your stomach stick out…who wants that…besides you look depressed otherwise…and unconfident…keep your head up…I don’t think you’ll get a hump…thats a bone thing when you get older…

Answer #3

Try to figure out why you slouch.

If it is because of weak trapezoids and/or tight pectoral muscles? Do you have a skeletal deformity? My wife slouches but her vertebrae are wedge shaped rather than rectangular so she really can’t stand straight, it’s just the way she is; her mom has the same posture.

I don’t know if there is any connection but the best distance runner on my HS XC and track team slouched. You might do a little work on your traps and lats if you have been neglecting those muscle groups.

Answer #4

You will look like a crooked old person and will have back problems =)

Answer #5

Uh oh…

Answer #6

yes it is

Answer #7

Yes - try to avoid slouching as much as possible. Unless you want to develop a hunch-back when you’re older.
