But I will warn you of 2 aspect to this. One: If you have a stomach still (like carrying excess weight here, even if in totality you are "healthy" weight), you will likely not entirely fix this. Two: Depending on your age and the period of time in which you have had this, you will likely have to basically force yourself into the correct position for a long, long time.

I have also heard of some people getting benefit from double the amount of pull exercises they do versus push exercises, especially increasing the amount of rows and face pulls.

I started doing the stretches daily and within a week noticed a difference. 2 months later... I do them at least every other day now with my usual workout, sometimes daily if I'm going running on my off days.

Posture has been about 2 months, not perfect yet, but a lot better than it used to be. I did end up buying Overcoming Poor Posture and took a bunch of tips from that and passed it along to relatives with back/neck issues.

Not sure about the ab work, but if it hurts I wouldn't continue or look for some alternative moves / regressions

I LOVE yoga! I really like hard yoga workouts (when I say hard, I mean strength and show off moves). I highly recommend Dylan Werner (he's kickass https://www.alomoves.com/instructors/dylanwerner?instructors=dylanwerner&order=relevance&), Patrick Beach, and Ashley Galvin. I have used the Alo Moves app for years (was formerly named the Cody App). Dylan has some great stretching classes called Elasticity and Plasticity (his true strength series are phenomenal too, heck I love everything he creates). They are very similar to the GMB Focused Flexibility that uses PNF style stretching. Basically, you are remodeling your fascia. Oh, and Steve's Overcoming Poor Posture https://amzn.to/2Ned2tG (same author who wrote OG coupled with Jarlo from GMB) is a great book with some solid stretches. I feel like I just barfed this out and didn't really organize my thoughts for you, but if you tell me more about your yoga goals, I can probably give you better direction. If you are already hitting it hard with strength workouts using your BW, you probably are more interested in stretching and mobility--maintaining or increasing flexibility and range of motion. In addition to the resources I already listed above, I highly recommend "The Supple Leopard" https://amzn.to/2CerED3 . Happy Stretching!

In the spirit of "the importance of exercise" post a couple days ago, I've written a couple books on bodyweight strength training and posture.

  Feel free to ask questions about them if you're interested about health and wellness.

Thanks for the link, Steven. I would also like to add, that this review on Amazon.ca of your book OPP seems to say that theyve been able to reverse years of computer using your techniques proscribed. After all, lots of computer work leads to poor posture, which is exactly what OPP sets out to correct! :p In my view, that's a pretty good endorsement.

>This is a much smaller book than his previous one. I think it is as big as it needs to be though. It's basically some great explanations followed by some exercise info and how to do them. The rest of the book gives you different exercise plans. Ive been using the exercises throughout the day for the past 2 weeks and have already seen some great improvements in my shoulders starting to open up. 20 years of computer work has done some serious damage and my shoulders are on fire constantly along with pretty terrible posture. I have been doing exercise on and off for years and this is the first time in a while that I am feeling that progress is being made. Looking forward to more recovery.
