I'm a personal trainer: Here's 5 'grounding' moves I recommend to anyone for fixing your posture and reconnecting you to your core

We know that jumping into a workout isn't recommended; as a trainer, ideally, you'd always warm up first with me. But whether or not you swerve your warm-ups in your own time, preparing your core and spine is very important, and these five "grounding" exercises are perfect for helping you do that.

If you try these before workouts, you'll feel more connected to your body, including your core and diaphragm, and the ground beneath you. This is particularly crucial for exercises that require foot-ground connection, like squats and deadlifts, plus moves like push-ups or planks, where your hands or elbows are also planted.
