Hey quick heads up before we get to today's episode.

This episode had a few audio issues.

Our guest had some problems with his mic.

We did our best to make things sound as good as possible,

even things out, but you will probably notice things

aren't as good as they usually are.

Apologize for that, but on to the show.

Brat McKay here and welcome to another edition of the Art of Manliness podcast.

A lot of us have niggling bodily pains, a bum knee, a tight hip, an achy back.

My guests would say that the cause of those maladies,

as well as the cure, can likely be traced to a common source, your posture.

His name is Vin Fam, and he's a physical therapist and the author of Sit Up Straight.

Future proof your body against chronic pain with 12 simple movements.

To end the show, Vin explains the problems that can arise when we don't stand and sit properly,

and simply sit too much in general, and how these problems can be prevented by practicing

good posture.

He explains what good posture looks like when you're sitting and standing, and the cues

that'll help keep your body well aligned.

Vin shares the ideal ratio of sitting to standing to aim for throughout the day, and a better

Vin then walks us through some exercises you can do to address physical issues you may

already have, from tight shoulders and hips to lower back pain.
