I should probably start doing this. Prevention is better than cure.

I can't say that I'm trying, but I'm trying to try. Seriously though, when I remember I stand up straight, and its starting to become more common. I find it hard to be corrective while walking or doing things, and I spend very little time just standing. I work through some exercises as part of my SMR routine, but like everything Im sure I would see better improvement if I was more diligent at both.
