Walking.
Aside from the many, many other benefits you'll get from making it a regular habit, it can really help to strengthen the muscles needed to maintain good posture (just be sure to walk with your head held up).
The beauty of walking is that it is so easy to work into your daily life. In the right environment it's a very pleasant thing to do. I often find myself heading out to get lunch and instead of stopping at that place a block away, I'll go an extra couple of blocks just because I'm enjoying the walk (usually, this has something to do with the trains of thought that walking encourages). It never feels in the slightest like 'exercising'. As a programmer, I consider walking while thinking to be one of my most productive activities.
I'm not suggesting that walking is the solution for you, but I'm confident that it will help to improve your posture if you don't already do a lot of it.
- zhte415 9y agoThis is nice, and blew me back to some advice I think from a Bruce Lee book or interview I read or saw years ago on generally being fit. * Get off the bus 2 stops early and walk the rest. * Take an extra flight of stairs instead of the lift the whole way. About generating habits, not about magic. For the OP: Stretch, get the time to get up, be aware of your posture, stretch, do gentle things, and take regular steps, don't expect a leap.
- arsenide 9y agoI have started the habit during lunch to walk for at least half an hour a day with a coworker. The experience has been nothing but positive.
