I've been working on trying to improve my posture for over a year now and still having trouble.

Does anyone have any tricks for getting in the habit of good posture?

Posture is really hard to form into a habit, our bodies naturally curve in certain ways and we have to force them back into a better alignment. The best way is to sit on chairs that have a hard back, like a dining chair - Make sure you're butt is all the way back and then lean back, you've kind of got no where to go.

I was kind of forced into it at a young age, so it might help to have someone you're with frequently spot you, and tell you off if you slouch etc.

Hope you get better. :qh:

I do this silly looking thing where I pretend I am straightening myself with a string. It sounds stupid and probably looks about the same but it works for me. I start at my middle and "pull" up and straighten my body with it. Does that make sense? I can look for a visual. Maybe somebody else does it, too.

Try yoga! Certain poses stretch your back and make it easier to maintain good posture.

I try to think about it when I'm sitting on a chair, mostly. I tend to go into that "geeky gamer posture" a lot. It's hard to improve it x)

This is something I'm STILL working on.


I'm going to try out every one of these tricks you guys just gave me, although the yoga is going to have to be via free online tutorials because I can't afford an actual class right now.

Yoga helped me, especially Suryanamaskar, but what improved my posture permanently was poledancing.

That's harder, to my mind. That's an ongoing, you have to live with it forever thing, instead of one single moment that's the exception instead of the rule.
