I’m a touch over 6’4” myself. Swings have been very beneficial. I’d add in light goblet squats with a hold at the bottom. Hanging from a bar or rings.Hey guys

I’d second this slouching at a desk also compromises proper breathing mechanics normally leading to ‘chest’ breathing which often leads to tightness in the shoulders and neck and postural issues from that. Practice diaphragmatic breathing.Monitor your breathing. Many people hold their breath while concentrating on the computer or mouth breathe. This affects posture down the line.

I ran daily dose deadlifts for a bit, which I felt countered all the sitting during work.
Swings and / or deadlifts to prevent the lower back slump. Rows to prevent the forward shoulder rounding. Both have been really helpful for me.Rows and neck training of all kinds.
I think this is key. Optimising your desk setup is important, but staying in that 'ideal' position all day is still not good. Movement and breaks are key to prevent your body adapting to that seated desk posture.Outside of that, you ought to see improvements by just taking frequent, even if short, breaks to move around. Being stuck in one posture all the time is usually what constitutes a “posture problem.”
I still want to know where this idea really came from. It still doesn’t make sense to me. I think training that is vigorous enough will warrant a cool down, but training that is doable during breaks probably won’t be that vigorous.I'd also be careful of morning or lunchtime training, e.g. hinges, that are then immediately followed by sitting.
The warm back muscles seem to cool down in a distorted posture.

Typically light movement you can use to bring your heart rate down. Walking around sounds good to me.What constitutes a warm down?
