By improving one’s running stance and posture, the lung capacity would increase as it would allow mending chest expansion; in other words, making it easier to breath. Remember breathing is an inseparable part of a good runner. Additionally, a straighter stance is essential in developing an efficient training session, by stabilizing the swing of arms would reduce wasted motion. Leading to decreased unnecessary energy wastage. When jogging, it is recommended to run tall and keep your glute from working too hard; also, if possible, you should avoid crossing the arm too much to save energy.
A proper posture would allow nerves to flow better from the brain to muscles, joints and vessels. Generating room for organs to function freely, leading to proper movement of the involved muscles and joints.

The first recommended step (which Solos Smart Glasses could help) in correcting one’s jogging posture should start from the head posture. The head position should not fall too further ahead from the shoulder as it would create a heavier burden for the neck. Such undue stress will fall onto the shoulder and directly affect the functionality of the nervous system. Which could potentially cause pain and headaches - as the range of motion is repetitive but limited.
