Check out the full blog post at: https://www.ryanandalex.com/how-to-fix-forward-head-posture/  Check out our in depth posture experiment that improved our posture by over 50% in two weeks: https://www.ryanandalex.com/upright-go-2-review/  We did the research and not only can poor posture cause misalignment and stress on your joints, it can make you injured during workouts and sports. Poor posture limits sports performance by making you overcompensate with other muscles and its just plain inefficient.  The good news is with a few simple exercises, you can strengthen your shoulders, chest, and back to promote better posture. Here are three moves you can do today with a resistance band or body weight to realign and correct your posture. Too often, we’re strengthening and shortening the muscles on the front of our body, and simultaneously lengthening and weakening the muscles in our back. This makes your shoulders roll and slouch forward.  Posture Test: Stand as you normally would. A good indicator that you’re slouching is if your thumbs are pointing inwards. This means that your shoulders are rounded and rolled forward. You need to roll them back into place to stand up straighter.  Exercise 1 - Shoulder Overhead Extension: This can be done with a resistance band or towel. Keep light tension and move within a comfortable range of motion. Remember to flex your glutes and core to stay in alignment. Perform 10 reps.  Exercise 2 - Lat Pull-Downs: With a light resistance band or towel, focus on pinching your shoulder blades together (activating your rhomboids and traps). You’ll feel this in your lats and a stretch in your chest. Perform 20 reps.  Exercise 3 - Band Pull-Aparts: With a light resistance band, start with your thumbs straight in the center of your body but rotate them outwards to point behind you as you pull. Make sure your shoulders remain pulled back and not slouching forward.  While this can all be done in under 3-minutes a day, remember to make each rep quality and keep it slow and consistent. We like doing these first thing in the morning, before even our workout, to get us set up for the day… and to keep us injury-free.'
