Working as a personal trainer, I see bad posture in people from all backgrounds and age ranges. This is one of my favorite “quick fixes”. (Quotes because it’s more of a “quick improvement” but that doesn't roll off the tongue as easily. Check out this post for a full run-down on posture.)
Goes great as a daily standalone drill, or a warm-up before any upper body work in the gym. 3 sets of 10 is a good amount, but do however many you’ll actually do. Most of my clients can instinctively “feel” when they’ve done enough.
