Red Carpet Posture

by Paul Drew, Marie S. Field (Editor), Vladimir Sonkin (Illustrator)

I am a doctor of physical therapy and a kinesiologist who specializes in helping my clientele obtain the perfect posture to keep them feeling great, and looking like a star, to make them look as if they are walking their own red carpet. Why is posture so important? Because it is a statement of who you are, and it is important to have good posture to express to others and yourself that you are confident and to be respected. How you present yourself when you walk into a room for the first time can be significantly dependent on the posture that your body displays as you enter, stand and sit in the room. This can make a lasting impression on fellow business associates, employers, and even a possible mate. I am sure that you have heard that first impressions mean everything. Poor posture can make a person appear less confident. Whether you are a celebrity or not, your posture is a statement of who you are. So whether you are venturing out in front of a sea of admirers or going about your daily activities you really can feel and look like you're on the red carpet! My book will help you obtain better posture through helpful advice and exercises to make you look and feel great. You will have to provide your own red carpet! So why the book? Living just around the corner from Hollywood, it always amazes me that in a town so conscious about fashion and what everyone is wearing or not wearing, there is very little attention given to how one's body makes a fashion statement. It doesn't matter if you are wearing the best dress from the top designer if you have bad posture. All too often, I see young teens and adults emulating a star's posture when the body position itself is dreadful. I want to beable to reverse this trend of bad posture. It is time for a change, yes we can! All the exercises pictured are performed by my own clientele who have benefited from these exercises and have displayed good posture throughout their daily lives. Some of these clientele in the book include executive VP Jeanie Buss from the World Champion Los Angeles Lakers, former pro figure skater Ilana Turner, children's author Donna Raimondi, and actress Rhea Lando, I truly thank all of them for willing to be pictured in this book, and they all wanted to be in the book because they wanted to help convey the message of how having Red Carpet Posture can make you look and feel like a star no matter who you are!
