Get Up and Move
Improve Posture In Minutes Try this movement if you feel you have poor posture.
SCAPULAR RETRACTION Hold your hands behind your back and slowly raise them off your back in a backward direction. Hold for 20 seconds and repeat 6 times. Strengthens Back & Improves Posture
One good tip to improve posture and ergonomics, especially for people who work sitting in an office chair for most of the day. Get up and move. As muscles tire, slouching, slumping, and other poor postures become more likely; this in turn puts extra pressure on the neck and back. In order to maintain a relaxed yet supported posture, change positions frequently. One way is to take a break from sitting in an office chair every half hour for two minutes in order to stretch, stand, or walk.
