For some reason, over the years, my posture has got worse and worse. I realise that the fact that I’ve made that statement whilst sitting at a computer might just explain why exactly my posture is so bad, but I really needed to do something about it. So when I was in London last week I bit the bullet and was fitted for some of these fancy MBT trainers that are supposed to help your posture (and apparently eventually if you keep using them over the months they tone your legs as well and I really can’t complain if they do that!)

Hopefully they’ll work. I noticed an immediate difference in the way I walked when I was wearing them. I guess because I was so concerned with walking in the correct way I was thinking about the way I walked for the first time in a while. With any luck it’ll have an ongoing effect. We shall see…
