6. Walk with a straight back. (I have kyphosis, which is basically a curvature of the spine so I guess I need to work on straightening that out)
7. Play more football (I believe Americans refer to it as 'Soccer')

Unfotunately, these too should not go together. Kyphosis is the curvature of the spine in the upper back, and when playing soccer, people do tend to round their back and curve their spine, especially while looking down at the ball. First thing I would suggest is to hit the gym and build a lot of muscle around your scapulas and also the rhomboid muscles and trapezius muscles. Those are all the muscles that will pull the shoulders back, and also build lower back muscles and abdominal muscles because those are the ones that will keep your "core" strong and stable, and keep you upright.
If you want to do some kind of sport, I would highly recommend swimming and basketball.
I also support people who are doing P90X, it's a great program, specially for weight loss. You will not be able to gain 50 pounds of muscles with P90X, but it will get you in good shape. I did the whole program, and now I'm only doing plyo as a replacment for my cardio.
If anybody has any questions, please PM me.
