#30: Superhero Pose
Strike a pose and feel like a superhero! Research has shown that assuming a superhero-like posture, with your body in an open and confident position, can increase testosterone and inhibit cortisol production. Testosterone is a hormone that’s associated with feelings of confidence, assertiveness, and dominance.
While cortisol is a stress hormone that can interfere with performance and cognitive function. Studies have shown that assuming a superhero pose for as little as two minutes can increase testosterone levels by up to 20% and decrease cortisol levels by up to 25%! What are you waiting for? Let your inner Superman shine!
