WHAT A POSER
In , Jacqueline turned her attention to posture to show people how quickly it can transform how you look.
The gran said adopting "better posture" can make you look better within seconds as she posed in a crop top.
Jacqueline said: "Look and feel instantly better by checking in with your posture regularly."
In the clip she advised people to stand tall, focus on your shoulder position and you need to put your "chin on the shelf".
As well as this, she said it's good to have soft knees and to ensure you have rib cage to pelvis connection.
She added: "Lifestyle factors like driving, desk based work and scrolling on a phone can all impact posture.
"Gravity, age, osteoporosis and muscle loss also affect posture.
"Optimal posture not only improves appearance, making you look more confident, but it also prevents injury, aids breathing and relaxation and is beneficial for pelvic health."
To improve your posture and your looks she gave step-by-step instructions.
"Stand barefoot, spread your toes, and ensure your weight is spread evenly over both feet. Stand tall and lengthen through the body, imagining a golden thread is drawing you upwards through the crown of your head.
"Take your eyes to the horizon. Imagine your chin is resting on a shelf. Lift your shoulders up and circle them round and downwards to find a relaxed, natural position.
"Gently rock your pelvis back and forth to find the mid point. Ensure your knees are soft and off lock.
"Do this at least daily, at the start of every training session, and whenever you’ve been sitting down for an extended period of time."
