Works well with a wall anchor.
We're gonna give away
some of our wall anchors too, Brad, with this.
- It's a... you can't go wrong with those, Bob.
- There you go, look at that! - All right.
So, why is this one exercise gonna change our lives, Bob?
Bob, we're talking about the big P, posture.
- Right.
- And we know, and I just did a study.
I read a study on posture and how it affects your breathing.
If your posture's up, you're...
and they did it scientifically,
the measuring the amount of air you bring in and go out,
goes up significantly. Okay?
Posture is for our shoulder mechanics.
We know that shoulder mechanics work much better.
If you're slouched, you can reach up to here.
If you've got good posture,
easily over here - You reach up to there.
and it's all posture.
- You can swallow better.
If your head's forward like this,
you can't swallow very well.
- Right.
- You get swallowing problems.
- Back and neck pain, which can lead into arm and leg pain.
- By the way, I just was told about this study.
I did not see it, but someone was telling me about it.
If you have poor posture, you can actually,
you know, you're tightening up your abdomen.
- Yep. - You can put pressure
on the vagus nerve - Oh.
- Which can actually increase your heart rate. (chuckles)
- Oh really? - Yeah.
So like I always, we stress this with our runners
in cross country - Sure.
- Is really good posture when you run,
because your diaphragm's in the right spot.
- Oh right, right. - So...
- And lastly, well,
people talk about it socially or professionally,
what does that have to do with it?
If you go into an interview
and we were just discussing,
the studies show that interview is determined
within the first few seconds. - Few seconds.
- They look at you, and they probably already know
if they're going to hire you or not.
- Right. And if you're coming in slouched,
- Yeah. - You're not a winner.
You're not gonna help the company out.
You come in here looking positive, posture up tall.
You're gonna take over things.
And it's all shown right there,
as well as your outfit. - Yeah, it shows confidence.
- How you dress is important too, obviously.
- Yeah, we even,
you used to do a class on protection, right?
- Yeah, self-defense. - Self-defense.
- Absolutely. - That's what I was
trying to come up with. And...
I remember reading an article about this criminal,
and he said he, they would pick on people
that were doing what they call the "Vic walk."
The victim walk. - Oh.
So they'd be slouched down. - Yeah.
And they're the ones that they'd pick on.
- They look like a loser, Bob. (Bob laughs)
- Well, they don't look confident. So they...
- Right? Well that's, I...
- Cause if someone is confident they'll look like,
well I want to take that guy on.
- They look like a winner.
- A winner,
that's where he's going! - Which all leads
into the exercise.
You know, I'm sorry to keep you going,
but I really wanted to tell you
why I'm so passionate about this.
So the exercise is our Ws.
We've talked about this - Yep.
many times.
And the reason this works is
because you gotta bring your head back,
bring the chin back, arms back.
Squeeze your shoulder blades together,
which puts you in good posture
- What you're doing by the way,
is stretching chest muscles, at the same time
strengthening the muscles between the shoulder blades.
- Right.
- So you're doing both at the same time.
- Right.
So in 30 seconds, you can do between five and 10 of these.
You're not gonna do 'em like this.
It's gonna be hold and relax.
Hold.
Do the chin tuck, don't go forward.
Chin back in, and you'll feel those muscles tighten up.
You'll feel a stretch in the front.
And that's the zycue, exactly what you want.
- The key to this though,
is that you do it throughout the day.
- Right. - I mean...
- You don't have to do it for five minutes.
Again, - Right.
- 30 seconds is plenty. - Right.
So in bed, before you get up.
- Why don't you show us, Brad?
- Yes, absolutely.
You know, you don't have to lay down on the floor,
but you could
if you wanted to. - Set the tone for the day.
- Yep. So, there's probably, you need to
take the pillow out, though. - Sure.
- So you can do, you're gonna, - A chin tuck.
- Uh-oh, oh those are my glasses.
I don't wear those to bed anymore.
And back like this.
And you can do those.
You know, I even think if you're doing 15 seconds,
it may be adequate. 30 is good.
You can do them standing while you're making your eggs.
Do your chin tucks, you know.
- I'd love to be at Brad's house in the morning. (chuckles)
The things that his wife
has to put up with. - Then I put some turmeric
on the eggs for,
- Very good. Very good. - for anti-inflammatory.
And at work, if you happen to have a job that you're seated.
Boy, you can just throw these in.
- Yeah, lots of these.
- Yeah, W. Remember, you're gonna win with this.
And it's a reminder
that you're gonna keep this,
as opposed to this,
and all those other negative things
that go along with it, so.
- All right, become winners folks.
I was worried when Brad was going to that loser thing.
I mean, we don't call people losers.
- Absolutely not, Bob.
But we're gonna show them how to become W winners.
And W is for Wisconsin too, Bob.
- I knew that was coming
- Yeah, that's that state over there.
- How about Minnesota? (both laugh)
- All right, - Thanks everybody
- take care. - for watching.
