After your walk, keep ribcage down and bring the sack or sacks over your shoulders with elbows up high to stretch for 30 seconds.

The Posture Up Grip Sack
The PURE (Prospective Urban & Rural Epidemiological) study of 2015 looked at nearly 140k adults.
Key finding: Researchers found that for every 5 kg decrease in grip strength, there was a 16% higher risk of death from any cause and a 17% higher risk of cardiovascular mortality, regardless of other factors like age, smoking, or exercise.
Significance: This landmark study showed that grip strength was a more accurate predictor of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality than systolic blood pressure. How is your grip?
This scientific evidence shows that grip strength is a key indicator of potential problems.
Loss of muscle mass: A decline in quality muscle mass is associated with frailty, risk of falling, and mobility issues.
Decreased neuromuscular function: Poor nerve activation can indicate issues with the brain & central nervous system.
Systemic inflammation: Chronic diseases often cause inflammation, which leads to the breakdown of muscle protein.
Metabolic health: Strong grip strength is correlated with better cardiovascular health which prevents insulin resistance.
Cognitive health: There is a positive association between strong grip and cognitive function, memory, and attention.
Fatal diseases that have preventable risk factors kill 270,000 Americans each year (CDC, 2014). Exercise might be THE best way to prevent these risk factors.
