Exercices to rework my posture

Working in front of a computer full day is not good at all for the posture.
This is some execises I do on a very irregular basis (sadly), but which proved to work.

Note that regular weightlifting with supervising coach is another good way to fix the posture...

Laying Prone T and variants

Variants are W, Y, A, I, L, etc. each of them targetting different muscle group.

Lie face down on a mat or a comfortable but firm surface.
Extend your arms straight out to your sides, forming a "T" shape with your body. Your palms should face down towards the floor.

Reverse Fly

Example from Men's Health

Raise both arms out to your side on an exhale.
Keep a soft bend in your elbows.
Squeeze the shoulder blades together as you pull them toward the spine.

Lower the weight back to the start position as you inhale.
Avoid hunching your shoulders, and keep your chin tucked to maintain a neutral spine during the exercise.
