- Hi folks, I'm Bob Schrupp, physical therapist.
- Brad Heineck, physical therapist.
- Together, we are the most famous
physical therapists on the internet.
- In our opinion, of course, Bob.
- Today, we're gonna go over the single best
60-second posture exercise you can do anywhere.
- Anywhere, Bob.
- That's what's cool about this.
You don't need equipment.
You just need your body.
- Right.
- So if you're new to our channel,
please take a second to subscribe to us
because we provide videos on to stay healthy,
fit, pain-free, and we upload every day.
And yes, I'm gonna handle the sign today.
That way it's gonna be done right.
- Bob, why, Bob?
- You're gonna want to join us at our website,
bobandbrad.com, because we're always giving something away.
Right now we're giving away the grip strengthener.
This thing has got multiple tensions.
Would you call it that?
- Yeah.
- Resistance.
- Variable resistance that you can control very easily
with a touch of the fingers and a twitch of the toe.
- [Bob] I'll tell you, if you want to have a stronger grip
for any of those sports you play,
if you're one of those pickle ballers,
this is gonna help your game.
But you also can find us on Facebook, it'll be on there.
And if you want a shortened version of Bob and Brad,
just join us on official, where are we?
Instagram and also Twitter.
- You lost?
I should be holding it.
- You should be holding it.
It threw me off.
- [Brad] Breaking the sequence here.
That's alright, though.
They understand.
- Okay, why is this the best exercise, Brad?
- I'll tell you why, Bob.
- Glad you will.
- Number one, you can do it anywhere,
just like the title says.
- Okay.
- It's nice to have a wall or a pole or something to do it,
you'll see that in a minute.
Number two, it stretches the primary posture muscles
that keep you upright.
The hip flexors, which a lot of people forget about
with their stretches.
- It's also stretching the chest muscles, right?
- Right.
- All these things that pull you over.
- Right, exactly, and we're gonna do
a little chin tuck in there,
so get some of the smaller muscles in the neck
that keep the head where it belongs.
And number three, is it strengthens
the antagonist muscles, the opposite muscles,
the muscles that pull you in there and hold you there.
So I'm gonna tell you, if you do this stretch 10 times,
three times a day, for 10 days,
you're gonna notice and you're gonna feel,
and you're gonna have people mention to you,
"Boy, you're looking different.
"You're looking taller."
- You look younger.
- Younger, taller, better,
and you'll be able to breathe better.
- More confidence.
- So, let's show 'em without further ado, Bob.
- Alright.
- Bob's gonna show you from the posterior side,
I'm gonna show you from this side.
So grab a wall and you're gonna take your
left hand and put it up on the wall pretty high
and there you go.
The other hand is gonna be up in the air,
and then this arm's gonna go back,
you're gonna do a little bit of the chin tuck,
and the opposite leg is gonna do this.
So you're working, my goodness,
you can really feel it work, do 10.
How you doin', Bob?
You doin' it?
- I'm doing good, I just hope I'm on the right pace here.
- Yeah, you're doing that too fast,
and you'll get these muscles working,
the stretch on the front we talked about.
- [Bob] I'm doing the chin tuck.
- Look at that.
It's harder than it looks, isn't it, Bob?
- [Bob] It is harder than it looks.
- Now do the other side.
You have to do 10 with the right hand up,
and then 10 with the left hand.
And it's the opposite leg.
When you first do this, you might have to think about
getting that opposite leg going with the opposite arm.
And arch the back and chin tuck.
Feel these muscles across work.
Those are the muscles that keep you up, back and tall,
that little chin tuck.
Okay Bob, you can stop.
- And then eventually, if you're really good,
you do both arms and both legs at the same time.
- Well I like to, after you get done,
do the ol' touchdown thing, you know, this.
- If you're a fan of the Packers,
you're never gonna be doing that this year.
- Give me a break, Bob.
I'm gonna give you more than you deserve.
But don't you feel good, Bob?
- Yeah, it does.
It really does straighten you up,
it feels like you're fresh and ready to go.
- Well I'll tell you it makes you feel strong, like bull.
- There we go.
Someone's got a lot of bull.
- Okay, thanks everybody for watching.
- You bet.
