Alrighty guys, so I know there are exercises I can do to strengthen my back, but is there something I can purchase to help me with my back? like some kind of brace made specifically for working out? I wear a 36d and im sure that plays its own part in it... I already wear a regular bra and a sports bra when I workout. sometimes when im walking ill stand up straight when I remember and it usually cracks lol, but then when I continue walking with it straight it hurts pretty bad, like it makes it hard for me to breathe... help! anyone :) oh feel free to add me as a a friend :)

    I went to physio for a car accident and they showed me a lot of exercises to help posture..

    One thing they did was tape my back for 3 days at a time once a week, to help with posture.

    supermans- as long as you have the right form can help.

    Another thing I did was get a breast reduction. It helped a lot..

    I was going to suggest taping too. You can tape so that if your posture goes bad then the tape pulls tight as a reminder to straigten up.

    Other than that you could probably work on you back muscles and core

    Google "Chi running." It is all about running with good posture, and how to develop it.
    Here is a video I found. It is a start: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B4Z5cWtVtk
