Hello -
One thing that can cause poor posture/slouch are weak chest muscles. The back muscles and chest muscles work in tandem to keep your posture straight. In most women, the back muscles are stronger and the chest muscles are not strong enough to keep the shoulders back.
So... I would try working your chest muscles a bit more. Push ups are the best exercise for this and you do not need to go to a gym to do it!
Also, I also would suggest yoga or pilates. Both have made a huge difference in my posture.
I hope this helps!

| And holding plank, guys, for 30 seconds a few times each day. You can do it on your hands or on your front arms. Important thing is to keep your back straight and pull your stomach toward your spine. Not only will this strengthen your upper body, but it will tighten up abs and tum. |
