By squeezing your bum, sucking your belly in and pushing your hips forward, you will flatten your lower back and keep it secure

SHOULDERS BACK AND DOWN

By rolling your shoulders back and down, it will flatten your upper back and help to push your chest forward. This is a better position for the shoulders with almost every exercise, it also helps you look taller and more confident.

The easy and often method is the safer route as you age, especially when struggling with stiffness, injuries or joint pain.
