- All right, today we're gonna show you
six exercises you can do at your desk.
Plus, we're gonna do a giveaway, man.
- Yeah, this is a nice sit to stand
and in between desk.
- Right? Everything you can imagine.
♪ Bob and Brad, the two most famous physical therapists ♪
♪ on the internet. ♪
All right, the first one you grab your elbows behind you
- So kind of like this?
- Yup.
- And again.
- You're gonna also squeeze your knees together.
- All right.
- All right, take deep breaths
and pull on the elbows - pull back.
- Oh, pull away from the fingers?
- Right.
- But probably not leaning forward.
- Right, good posture if you can -
- Yeah I see, I get it.
That makes a lot of sense.
Boy, that's a workout.
- Asking a lot of you, is it Brad?
- I like pushing into my back,
to the back feels good, I think that could be an option.
- Yup.
- Is it Doctor Egoscue?
- Yeah, well, I'm not sure.
(Brad laughs)
- Number two, you're gonna interlace your hands.
You're gonna turn your palms up
and put overhead and look with your eyes up there, Brad.
Because all day, you're looking down,
so this is the one time I want you to look up.
- This is, for me, my shoulders are tight.
I can't get near as high as you, so -
- Well, if you did it every day you could.
- Ah, perhaps that's right.
- Oh yes, good stretch, good for the back, head, neck.
Deep breath and exhale.
Don't forget that!
- That's right.
- Can I stop now, Bob?
- Yeah, that's good.
- All righty, before we show the next exercise, Brad,
we wanna show our giveaway -
- Sure.
- Which is the E7 FlexSpot Pro plus Standing Desk.
This is a fine desk.
- So, it has three presets, and you can preset them
as you want for what level.
This is level one, there's a middle level, and -
- Well, you can set it.
- Right, didn't I say that?
Well, that's what I meant to say.
I don't know what I said, but anyway,
this is already preset, but you can vary wherever you want.
Let's get her going.
There we go.
This is the highest setting, it automatically goes up there
after you push the button and hold it for a second.
- And it's for anybody who's four foot two
all the way up to six foot four.
But I'm six foot six, and I think it's plenty high for me.
- Right, and I'm five foot nothing,
and it's too high for me,
but that's a really nice advantage.
You just preset things and it's all ready for you.
- And we'll show you at the end,
you can actually raise, what, 350 pounds?
- Exactly right, Bob, and we're gonna prove it.
- And it's got a dual motor,
which allows us to do that, right?
It's got a charging port, right?
- Yeah, well, let's double check.
Oh, sure enough, one of those USBs right there on the side.
- And a child lock.
- A child lock so your children can't go -
- Let's show them the safety feature, Brad.
- Which one?
- Put the chair underneath.
- Oh, this is pretty cool.
- This is fun.
- Let's say your child puts a chair underneath there
and you forget about it, and you push it down.
- Well, let's say a child is there.
- Or your child is standing there,
your little three year old Johnny or Freddy or Judy.
And it touches it, and it senses that.
This is a nice setup,
and it goes up and it stops.
Safety first.
- All right, the next one is glute contractions, Brad,
or butt contractions.
- Butt squeezers?
- Yup, you can actually turn your feet out a little bit.
Make it easier to do that, and you're gonna actually
squeeze your butt.
And you can put your hand on there
if you want some feedback.
- Yeah, in other words, yeah.
You can check those muscles are firing -
- Or you can be subtle about it.
Just do it when you're talking to people
or during meetings.
- Yup, you know, we've done this with patients before,
and imagine you've got a dollar bill
in your gluteal cleft or, you know -
- Or a quarter.
- Or a quarter, trying to squeeze it
so it doesn't drop out.
That always seems to work well.
- Right, good set of 20, 30?
- Yeah.
- All right, number four really works
on the mid back really well, Brad.
So I like to actually put my hands straight out,
keep my head down, and stretch that upper back,
upper to mid back.
- I find I have better results if I use my elbows
and I stretch and drop my hips down a little bit.
- Either way works really well.
- You'll know, you'll feel -
It should feel like a good stretch.
These should not create any pain.
Any sharp pain and you may have a problem
that we're not aware of, but if you're normal
and you don't have any pain -
- This is where the standing desk really works well.
- Yes, yeah because just adjust it as needed.
- All right, Brad, we're gonna show you two more
and then we're gonna show you
the really cool feature about the desk.
So stick around.
- Well, I did want to mention,
let's say you do these exercises,
and you want to do them every hour, for example.
- Right.
- You can set a timer on here
and it beeps every hour to remind you,
"Oh, I've got to do my exercises,"
and it keeps you awake.
- All right, this one I call hand claps.
You can actually squeeze legs together again
and clap your hand, and then palm down.
Clap your hand and squeeze your legs, palm down.
- Think about it, you're not clapping, you don't hear any -
(Brad claps)
clap noise.
- Oh, the sound is not necessary.
- Breathe, that should be a -
- Really works on posture,
breathing,
gets you centered, Brad.
- Breathe in going up, breathe out going down.
- All right, final exercise, Brad: elbow curls.
You take your knuckles and put them on your forehead
and you're gonna actually -
- Temples?
- Yeah, temples.
Good posture, bring your elbows back and together.
- I do like this one.
The other one I thought was a little weird,
but I do like this.
- It's good for your shoulder, good for posture.
- Works those shoulder blades nice.
- All right, finally we'll show you
the really cool feature on this.
Okay, we got one last feature.
Danny, how much do you weigh, a hundred fifty pounds?
Brad, how much do you weigh?
- 151, no I'm 177.
- (Bob) So that's 322?
- Yeah, well I'd need my cell phone.
- (Bob) All right, well get on the table, gentlemen.
- We're gonna test its weight bearing
and weight lifting capabilities.
- (Bob) So it says it goes up to 350.
There we go!
- There we go.
- (Bob) Up, up, up, up, up!
- So, actually, you really could use this
for washing the ceiling perhaps.
No, we couldn't, that's not appropriate.
But I always wonder, 350 pounds
of office equipment on here - that's a lot!
- (Bob) That's a lot, right.
- A darn heavy computer.
So there we go up, and we'll go back down
to level number one.
So it has excellent control going up and going down,
and it's really built well.
- It's a beautiful desk.
- This is commercial, even industrial duty.
- (Bob) There we go!
Thanks everybody for watching!
- Enjoy the day!
