I have noticed that my posture is getting worse and worse from sitting at my desk all day. I have the classic upper cross syndrome with rounded shoulders and a forward head position. It is starting to cause some neck pain and headaches which is affecting my training in the gym.

I have started doing chin tucks and wall slides to try and correct it. Are there any other exercises that help with the tight chest and weak upper back? I have heard that face pulls are amazing for this but I am not sure if I should do them every day or just on pull days.

I am also trying to be more mindful of my ergonomics at work. Does anyone have a specific chair or desk setup that helped them stay in a better position? I am a bit tired of feeling like a hunchback every time I look in the mirror.
