- Yeah. We got one.
- Oh I got one.
- Oh yeah, you're supposed to.
- All right. Thanks a lot.
- It's our big day. Today's our big day.
Today is World Physical Therapy Day.
So we're giving out a stretch, it's a stretch band
that you can work out with. What color do you like?
- I'll take blue. - All right, blue.
- Hey, today is our big day. Come on in, Lonnie.
It's World Physical Therapy Day.
- Take one of mine. One of mine.
- Yeah. We're giving out...
- Brad, it's our big day. It's our big day.
Hi, I'm Bob Schrupp, physical therapist.
- Brad Heineck, physical therapist.
- Together, we are the most famous
physical therapist on the internet.
- In our opinion, of course, Bob.
Now, what are you so excited about?
- It's World Physical Therapy Day, Brad.
It's our day. It's our big day.
- All right. Say no more.
- And in celebration of this FEI, which is,
I'm gonna make sure I say it right,
Fabrication Enterprises, Inc.
They provided us with all these bands, because
the theme of World Physical Therapy Day is activity.
Get out there and work out there. - Sure.
- So we're gonna show some of their exercise bands
and try to help people get active.
And, as you see, as you saw,
we handed out a lot of these bands, right?
- Yeah. The people are excited to get 'em.
They're nice. You know, when you have bands,
physical therapists use these bands exclusively
because they're so convenient, the cost is right.
And they work very well.
- And these are, this is a brand called CanDo,
you CanDo it, baby. - There you go.
- And it's by, again, FEI, if you're a physical therapist,
I would recommend you get their catalog. - Sure.
- And we'll put a link below to their website,
and if you want to get some of their products,
you can go ahead and get on that website
and get them too.
- Right. They've got some great selections in there.
- So let's start off, Brad, why don't we start off with
the exercise tubing with handles. - Sure.
- That's always a good one to start with.
- Yeah. You want one?
- I'll take the yellow one.
- Now, yellow's easier than green,
that's why, like, I'm stronger.
- Yeah. He's a lot, he's strong, like bull.
So we're gonna start off with, Brad,
We're gonna just start with, you know, basically,
I'm gonna put it under one foot, one foot. - Yep.
- And we're gonna start off with shoulder flexion.
So do you wanna do the side angle? I'll do the straight on.
- Sure. You bet, that's a good idea.
- So, I'm gonna go straight up like this.
I'm doing thumbs up, you know, and the handle kind of turns
on you, so that it works out pretty good, doesn't it Brad?
- Yeah. It makes a little easier, easier on the wrist.
- So you do both sides obviously.
Otherwise you'll go in a circle, right?
Isn't that your joke, Brad?
- Yeah, exactly. You'll fly...
- like a one-legged duck. Right? Okay.
Now we're gonna do abduction, Brad. - Okay.
- So we're gonna go out to the side.
- And you can adjust the resistance
just by where you put your foot on the tube.
- Yeah. Good point, Brad.
- So mine was a little too difficult.
- And I can go both at the same time.
Now this is one where you don't want that much resistance,
do you, Brad? This is a small muscle, - Right.
- with a long lever arm.
And so it's a difficult exercise to do.
So I'm using yellow here, - Right.
- That's about as much as I'd wanna do right now
to be honest with you for 10.
- Exactly. Yeah. 'Cos it's not like you're gonna
put a big dumbbell on your hand and do these exercises.
- Now this is one where I could use more resistance, Brad.
I, this is the bicep, so, - Sure.
- Now what I like about this is if you really wanna
truly do a bicep, Brad, you start with your palms down
and then you go palms up.
- So you rotate.
- And you can, you know, go back and forth like this.
- Now I just wanna bring up one point, if this is too easy
and you wanna increase it, you can just double it.
- Yep.
- Just double it. And oftentimes, that will make it. - Yep.
- So you can use the strap for not just one resistance,
you know, variably, but you can double that
amount of variance. So it's a nice convenience to it.
- Nice, nice option, isn't it? - Yep.
- All right. Next one, Brad. Where are we at here?
I kinda lost track here. Oh, chest.
So we're gonna go ahead and go around the chest like this.
- And you're just gonna go ahead.
- So we're going behind the back.
And this one too you could do one at a time
and double the resistance if you want.
- Sure, doing the punches.
And then you can also do some tricep,
kind of in this direction too,
where you kind of get a bend like this. - Yep.
- And you're just gonna go ahead and straighten
and again, I'm doing a double up.
- You could do it both at the same time. - Sure.
- You gotta, you know, put the strap under
your elbow as it works a little bit better. - Oh it does.
- You find out little tricks that work with these,
as you with them. - Yes, over time.
- All right, then we're gonna go down
and now we're gonna go ahead, Brad.
And we're gonna go and oh, I was gonna show one more here.
If you do have like the door anchor that goes with this.
Do you know where that is? - Yep. Right here.
- So this is just a thing you can slip,
you can actually slip the handles through this, like this,
and then this part, you just close the door on it.
- Yep. You put it above the door, close it,
and then that gets trapped on the other side.
So you have an anchor, so you can work overhead exercises.
- So if we were using the door anchor,
you have it high up like this.
And close the door and you hope nobody comes in,
and then you go ahead and this is a good way to work lats.
- Right. So you work on the muscles, pulling down
which can be a real nice exercise.
- My wife loves this exercise. - Really?
- This is her favorite exercise.
And she's like, for first time in years
I'm starting to notice a little toning down here.
- Ah, get those triceps and lats and all those spots
you wanted to get trimmed.
- Well, the old joke is you, you know,
you wave and this keeps going after you're done waving.
That's not a good thing.
So, all right, Brad, let's take a loop. You got a loop?
- Yes. I got a loop. I'm gonna use the yellow one.
- All right. The loop we can, one we can do is there's a lot
of different ways to do this too.
This is one way, just put both feet in it like this. - Yep.
- And so you're making a square.
You're had a different way. You're doubling it up.
- Yeah, I made it up into one loop. I just gave it a twist,
and now it's a little bit smaller.
- It's like, again, this is a CanDo loop.
And one thing we should mention, Brad, by the way,
we did mention is that there's a lot of
different resistance here, isn't there.
So the darker the resistance, let's put all the colors here.
- Sure. Here in order.
- Yeah. Show this side of the box,
because this shows the yellow.
Yellow's the easiest, probably green or blue by then.
- well, we gotta get red in there.
- Yeah. I think that's above. I don't know.
We'd have to look at 'em to see which order they go in.
- Right.
- Well, it goes, here we go.
Extra light. Blue is heavy!
Light, medium, heavy. What is this one?
- That's black, that's always the heaviest.
- Extra heavy. Yep.
- So that's the order, and different manufacturers
are different, but this is how CanDo puts their
color codes so that, you know,
if you want a higher resistance,
you go to a certain color.
- So I got green, which is, you know, again,
more of a challenge than yellow, correct Brad? - Right.
- So with this, in this position,
now I can work on hip flexion.
- So we're both doing the same exercise,
but from a different way. Yep.
- And then you can go hip abduction.
Again, World Physical Therapy Day, it's our big day. - Yep.
- And it's all about activity, Brad.
- And if you're a therapist, they say, oh yeah, we do this.
I might do it a little bit different at the clinic.
Or I do it just like that or, oh, that's a neat idea.
- So, and then you can also go down, Brad,
and loop it around your foot, like this.
I'm looping it twice around my foot.
I'm holding it up like this,
and I'm kicking out like this, doing some quadricep.
- Yep. Now I'm gonna take mine
and do a figure eight through there.
And it's just pretty much the same thing.
- There's different ways of doing this. - Yep.
- Quads are one of the challenging ones
with Therabands, I gotta admit it.
- You should try my way, Brad. Look, it works better.
- Does it?
- Yeah, it really gives me the good quad strength there.
- All right.
- All right, then we can go to standing
and we kind of got this set up already.
We just took a loop and we put it around a chair
and around the two bottom legs here.
And you can just go ahead and put one leg like this
and you can hold onto the chair.
And now I can work on extension, hip extension.
- I'm still doing quads, Bob.
- Yeah. I see that. What do you think of my way?
- Yeah. Yeah, that is better. Yep.
I like this. This works really good
for these four exercises.
- Yeah, this is where the loops really come in handy.
- Yeah, exactly. 'Cos you got something
that's easy to get around the chair.
- So I did extension. It's basically four directions.
So here I'm facing the chair.
Here I'm stepping, I'm parallel with the chair
to the side and now I'm gonna go out like this. - Yep.
Yeah. This is a good workout, Brad. This will get ya.
- Yeah. And it's nice 'cos the chair is here,
you can balance with, the chairs being used for the band.
It's just a really nice way to work these loops.
- And now I'm gonna go ahead and do adduction.
Good for soccer players I would say, wouldn't you say, Brad?
- Oh yeah. Yep. Anybody doing a lot of
zig and zig and kicking, but you know,
'cos if you just have the band,
just the band, you have to tie a knot.
- Right, you have to tie knots, and it works,
but you have to tie a knot on it, so.
- So that's the big advantage,
one of the big advantages, of the loop.
- So I did hip flexion, right?
Did I do hip flexion?
- Nope. I don't think I did that.
- I did do hip flexion.
So hip flexion is the last one you do, the last direction.
And this is the one where your back is to the chair now.
- Sure.
Now all of these exercises, every one of them,
can also be done with the stretch band.
So the band, the stretch band, erm,
- There is one.
- Yeah. Here's one. They come in, you can get different,
Where's the big rolls? Oh these are it. Yeah.
You can get a big roll of 'em and, how long are these rolls?
- Six yards.
- But you get 'em out and then you can just pull 'em out
- And you take a scissors and you cut it.
Or you can have these little single packs.
These are five foot long, five inches wide.
So these are what we're giving out today to people. - Right
- For Exercise Day. Our big day, Brad, it's our big day.
- You're really excited, Bob. - Yeah, I am! - It's nice.
- So you can do one of two things here.
You can take these bands
and you can tie 'em to stuff, you know,
- "tie 'em to stuff."
- You know, you can tie 'em to the leg of the bed
and work it this way and do biceps, triceps.
Or you can go, you can do all of the same stuff, Brad.
- Right. Exactly.
- You can go out and do all the same stuff,
but they also have some handles that are kind of handy.
- Yeah. This is a nice, I like this.
- I hope I can do this under pressure here.
So how the handle works, and Lonnie you're gonna
probably have to get a close-up here.
I'll come up to you a little bit.
Tell me when to stop Lonnie.
Right about there? So look at this.
You make, it is like a double loop. - Yep.
- You open it up and then you stick one through there.
- I'm gonna make it a little bigger.
- Yeah. Make 'em really big. There we go.
And then we just stick the Theraband through one
and then through the other.
And then you just pull it down like this,
you pull this down. There you go. And she's locked in.
So now you have, it's just like the exercise tubing.
You have two handles and again, you can do stuff like this.
You can do all the same exercises with the band.
They also, you can also do the same thing
with the door anchor.
You can put 'em through there the same way.
- Yeah. Right, exactly.
- And they also have a loop that you,
this loop kind of fits on the bottom
of a chair and you can loop the band through it.
You wanna loop of some band through there.
And then that can go out through the bottom of a chair.
So you can tie the loop or you can tie the band
and you can do again, same exercises, all with the band.
- There you go.
- Lots of options.
And again, the bands, you know,
are just like everything else that we said,
you got least to the strongest.
- Right. So the color resistance.
- So remember, you know, get out there, get active today.
This is the day you wanna start the rest of your life.
And remember subscribe to Bob and Brad, 'cos we're
gonna help you show you how to get that way. Get fit.
What did I say?
- I don't know, Bob. We wanna get bigger, better,
stronger and pain free.
- All right. Thanks a lot, folks.
