Along the same lines, I had bad posture for a long time, and always wondered what to do about it. "Stand up straight" was too simplistic, and "do yoga" was too broad.

The solution that worked for me came from books by Pete Egoscue. "Health Through Motion", especially: http://www.amazon.com/Egoscue-Method-Health-Through-Motion/d...

He describes how to analyze posture (once you learn, you see signs of bad posture -- aka muscle imbalances -- in nearly everyone: people at work, at the store, even professional athletes), and then he lists dozens of simple exercises that work to restore your muscle balance. And at some point you'll do an exercise that engages a muscle you haven't used in years, and when that happens, your body feels FANTASTIC!!

The books are just the tip of the iceberg, too. There are Egoscue clinics around the country that can take you to advanced levels.
