Here's How To Reset Your Posture In Just 14 Days

By Catherine Hargreaves

Do you constantly feel like your muscles are in knots that need several days worth of massage to straighten out? Quite frankly, is your back posture reminiscent of the Hunchback of Notre Dame? Slouch central?

Chances are this will have something to do with your posture. Stand taller and feel looser with these posture reviving tips.

Not sure how to improve your posture? We've got all the best posture tips for you right here. 

Make it a foam party

If you have bad posture, you're likely to find you also have unwanted tension in your back and neck. Use a foam roller to loosen up your back muscles so that you can stand tall comfortably. Place the roller on the floor and lie with your upper back on the roller and your feet flat on the ground. Roll slowly up and down, and alongside each side of your spine, to increase blood flow and help to alleviate tension. Repeat the process with a tennis ball to target trigger points.

Eyes to the sky: start looking up

Find yourself staring at more concrete than sky when you're walking? Bring that eye line up to straighten out your neck, bring your shoulders back and keep your spine straighter. This will reduce the pressure on your neck and upper back, and provide you with a much better view...

Not to mention, this will fix that bad back posture of yours in seconds. 

Don't forget to stretch

If you've been around here a while, you're probably a bit fed up of us talking about stretching. Sorry about that. (Not).

Keeping your body flexible and free of tension is key for improving posture, so ensure you're stretching your entire body before and after exercise. If you're looking to boost flexibility, make sure you're stretching after your showers as this is when your muscles are already warmed up and loose.

When searching how to improve your posture, posture tips are everywhere, which means you may get a little overwhelmed when it comes to how to complete back posture correction properly. 

For some better posture exercises, try out the below stretches:

Make sure you're using The Recover Capsules every morning and night to ensure your body has the nutrients it needs for healthy muscle recovery after exercise.

Get creative

Try out a new sport that makes you work for a straight, lengthened posture. Ballet is the best example of this, but if your tights are at the dry cleaner's, swimming, weight lifting or yoga are great too.

Start from the ground up

Make sure you're not wearing a pair of shoes to death - and look out for soles that are being worn down on one side more than the other, which suggests uneven weight distribution when you walk.

A good pair of shoes are designed to support your posture and stride, but won't last forever. So renew them when the soles wear down, and use insoles if you need them!

Double strap it

Avoid carrying heavy bags on one shoulder whenever possible - if you have to, be sure to switch across shoulders rather than punishing one. 

Desk-bound?

If you're at a desk all day, get up and have a walk around as often as socially acceptable... Have your screen as close to eye level as possible, and check out a standing desk if you want to show off how well you are to your colleagues. When sitting, keep both feet flat on the ground rather than crossing your legs, as this will ensure you are keeping your hips straight, which will translate to a straighter spine.

There are also these 6 Hip Flexor Stretches That Are Essential If You Work At A Desk that you can try...

Check them out.

Why Creatine is Having a Moment
If you said “creatine” ten years ago, most people would’ve pictured a guy at the gym, slamming a protein shake the size of a fire extinguisher. Fast forward to today, and creatine is gaining more traction than ever – but not for the reasons you'd expect. It’s not just about size or strength anymore. It’s about mental sharpness. Recovery. Longevity. Hormonal support. Healthy ageing. And while it’s long been the most studied supplement in sports nutrition, new research is changing how we think about it – and who it’s for. Let’s break it down. First: What actually is Creatine? Creatine is a naturally occurring compound your body produces (and you get in small amounts from red meat and fish). It’s stored mostly in your muscles and brain, where it helps regenerate adenosine triphosphate (ATP) – your body’s main energy currency. In plain English? It helps you produce energy faster and more efficiently. That’s why creatine’s been a staple for athletes and weightlifters for decades – because it enhances performance, power, and recovery. But that’s just scratching the surface. Reason 1: The science has evolved The benefits of creatine aren’t limited to physical performance anymore. In recent years, researchers have started to uncover its role in cognitive function, mental fatigue, and neuroprotection – especially under stress or during sleep deprivation. A 2021 systematic review published in Nutrients found that creatine supplementation “may improve short-term memory and intelligence/reasoning” – particularly in people who are sleep-deprived, stressed, or ageing . Another study in Psychopharmacology found that supplementing with creatine significantly improved working memory and information processing speed in healthy adults . We're also seeing promising links between creatine and age-related cognitive decline. There’s emerging evidence suggesting it may support brain health in older adults – acting as a protective buffer against neurological degeneration . In short: creatine is no longer just a “performance” supplement. It’s increasingly viewed as a daily health essential – especially for your brain. Reason 2: Women are in – and rightly so Historically, creatine marketing catered almost exclusively to men. The packaging was aggressive, the messaging all about muscle mass, and there was a persistent myth that creatine would cause bloating or bulkiness. It’s no surprise women stayed away. But now? That narrative is breaking down fast – and the science is doing the talking. Studies show that creatine may be especially important for women – particularly through perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. Research published in Nutrients highlights that creatine supplementation can support muscle strength, bone density, and mood regulation in women during and after menopause . It’s also been shown to help maintain lean muscle mass and support cognitive function during hormonal fluctuations – making it a powerful ally for long-term wellbeing. And no, it won’t make you puffy. The “bloating” myth comes from a misunderstanding: creatine draws water into your muscle cells (where it belongs), which actually supports performance, hydration, and cell integrity. This isn’t about bulking. It’s about feeling energised, strong, and supported in your body – no matter your life stage. Reason 3: It’s not just for the gym anymore The old creatine image was all about barbells and bench presses. But modern life demands more than just gym gains. We want to feel good, stay sharp, move well, and perform in life – not just during workouts. Creatine helps with all of it. Whether you're training hard, working late, chasing your kids around, or trying to keep brain fog at bay – creatine supports energy production, improves recovery, and sharpens your thinking. Even endurance athletes, office workers, and biohackers are getting in on the action. One study found that creatine enhanced oxygen consumption and reduced fatigue during long bouts of aerobic exercise . Put simply: creatine helps you show up as the best version of yourself, wherever life takes you. Reason 4: You’ve got options now Here’s the good news – the supplement industry is finally catching up. Gone are the days of industrial-sized tubs and confusing dosing instructions. At Innermost, we’ve reimagined creatine in a way that’s clean, purposeful, and fits into real life. At innermost, you’ve got two simple options: The Power Booster – our pure, pharmaceutical-grade creatine monohydrate. Zero additives. Just high-quality creatine in its most effective form.The Strong Protein – our intelligent protein blend for strength and recovery, with creatine built-in alongside nootropics, anti-inflammatory ingredients, and functional adaptogens. One blend, multiple benefits. Both options are designed for people who care about their health, performance, and clarity – not just their biceps. FINAL THOUGHTS Creatine isn’t new. But the way we understand it - and who it’s for - absolutely is. It’s not just about muscle. It’s about mood. Memory. Mental sharpness. Movement. And supporting your body through every season of life. Whether you’re lifting, learning, leading, or just looking to feel a little more like yourself again - creatine could be one of the smartest additions to your daily routine. Read more
