An apparatus for improving posture comprises a bar element and a pad element centered along the length of the bar element. The bar element is constructed from a weighty material so as to provide a significant and constant downwardly directed weight. The pad element is constructed from a relatively lightweight material as compared to the bar material, but has a very specific cervical curve-accommodating, outer pad diameter or outer pad radius of curvature. The outer pad diameter or outer pad radius of curvature substantially matches that of a normal cervical curve. Together, the radius of curvature of the pad element and the weight of the bar element provide the user with a weighted template against which the user may align the cervical portion of his or her spine and commence resistance muscle training against the downwardly directed weight for improving core muscle groups for improving and/or maintaining one's posture. |
