While some of the exercises mentioned above will be beneficial, I will say that the very best solution for your posture problems is self-discipline. Make a concious effort every day, all day to pull your shoulders back and down, to stretch your neck upwards like there's a ceiling 1" above the top of your head you're trying to touch, and to pull your lower back forward and your gut in towards your spine. Yes it hurts at first, yes it takes effort, and yes its difficult to maintain in the beginning, but no amount of exercises or conditioning will make you maintain proper posture, only will and self-discipline will do that. If you truly want it, you'll make yourself do it, or you'll give in to temporary comfort and ease and let yourself hunch forward and deal with the pain. Your choice.
