sloucher

Poor posture person

A sloucher is someone who slouches—stands, sits, or walks with drooping posture.

The word often carries connotations of laziness or lack of ambition: He's no sloucher when it comes to getting things done.

That phrase, usually in the negative, suggests someone who performs capably or energetically despite appearances.
