This is perfect timing. My husband had a surgery where standing up straight was painful while healing. Its been a year and now hunching over is a habit, he can stand up straight, but needs help to remember/readjust his preferred posture. I think this will help his 70 yr old bod adjust, and it certainly won't hurt me to do it with him. I find myself looking at the ground a lot as I walk, and that little lump under my neck on my back is starting to get more defined. Great way to attack that now. Thanks so much. Mike, just ignore the trolls about your voice. You have improved your speech so much since you started that it is now understandable and a joy to listen to. They can lower their volumn if they think you are loud. I am very pleased that I can hear and understand you now. You notice no one said they couldn't understand you. You are doing great! Hi to Bob, glad to know you are still there. Brad is perfect as always, :-)

[@BobandBrad]

We're happy to help!

[@20bluelilies]

My back got really rounded after spinal surgery too, even though I wasn't having to hunch because of pain, etc. Even now, if I stand up straight, I feel like I'm poking my boobs out like a, well, you get my drift! 😆 My physio gave me some of the same routines mentioned in the video, but I need to be more dedicated to sticking to them.

So helpful! These stretches are also great for cyclists. Thanks guys😊

Of course!

[@PewPewDevices]

It would be great to get an insight into what can be done to address the issues caused by decades of bad cycling posture😀.

[@oldschooljeremy8124]

The hard part is maintaining throughout the day. I can stand and walk upright with good posture as long as I am thinking about it, but when I am walking around thinking about other things I find myself slumping again unconsciously.

[@ShariSchreiberMA]

Muscles form memory. Old positions are more comfortable, because you're used to them. Stay conscious and keep working at forming new muscle memory. Good luck! :~)

[@Gina-fl9sk]

I found you guys a couple of years ago and really tuned in to work out on my back issues. I know that you are so right because I was a massage therapist for 9 years. I was so strong then and so good at what I did for my clients. Now I am in my 70's and I am a mess. And it is no accident that I found you again. I am on a mission to set up an area to be able to once again follow you. I am older but I know this all works if it is done on a regular basis. The Posture Pad will be a future purchase I believe. Meanwhile, I am reorganizing my rooms to accommodate what I need to do to get back in shape. Thank you!

I thank YOU🫵 and BRAD🫵 for this exercise on posture ! My GREAT GRANDMOTHER was “bent” over in this posture ! I am beginning to follow her “bent”posture” ! I thought I “inherited “ her “bent posture “ I am going to do these exercises religiously ! I am well into my 80s ,but that’s no excuse! Thank you ,Thank you both 👍 🙀👵🏻😻 🥰😍

No problem!

[@WisconsinWanderer]

I sure do appreciate your videos more than you know thank you 😊

[@BobandBrad]

Happy to help!

[@artd.1498]

Man, you guys make it seem so possible. I have been trying for a year and a half to stand straight against wall with my head touching. Still can’t even with all the stretching and exercises. I am already doing these stretches, although not nearly as often. I’ve been once every day or so. Perhaps the repetitiveness is the key. We shall see. Thank you as always.

[@sunshine3914]

Stretch every morning before getting out of bed & after your morning routine, then in the afternoon before lunch or nap or whatever it is that you do. Then again before bed. What I do is stretch every time I think about food, & make sure that I’m able to touch my toes.

[@groovellous1]

You may have a kyphosis, as I do. I tried a program of forcibly straightening my upper spine with the assistance of hand weights, and this resulted in a temporary sharp pain in the centre of my upper back. It seems to me that I can work on my posture by ensuring that my hip flexors are allowing me to be fully upright from the hips, but I am stuck with my upper spine, which becomes slightly worse year by year. My mother and my sister are the same. It's still important to be able to stand as erect as possible, for the sake of our necks and our breathing, but there may be limits.

[@suem.3651]

I love Brad’s more straightforward (or should I say “backward” 😂 approach to fit Mike’s style. Much more concise videos, all get right to the point.

[@ericlaurenadam]

I agree with suem...I love it when I can get directly into the exercises.

[@zuzuspetals8323]

Thanks for this. Healthy posture is so important. It’s worth the effort. Many moons ago, my dad had three fractures in his neck (fell off a ladder), and at age 91 now has terrible kyphosis. He is no longer walking, and even seated the forward head posture affects his breathing and ability to swallow. A heavy cross. p.s. “Hi, Bob!” 😉

[@BobandBrad]

We're sorry to hear that!

[@karenpoole8957]

I want to thank you both for these videos. I’ve had multiple back surgeries, with rods and screws and do have that bent over posture. I’m sure going to try these and hope they help. I can’t tell you how uncomfortable and embarrassing it is to be all hunched over! I’d be eternally grateful if these help get me upright!!

[@elizabethburchat318]

These exercises are very helpful. Like one other viewer mentioned, I can practice these and when I’m mindful, my posture improves. As time goes on, though, I revert to hunching. Doing strength and weight exercises to develop my back and shoulder muscles really helped me to maintain better posture throughout the day more consistently.

[@successjourney8108]

Bundle of thanks for this video. Pretty thankful to both of you. I am 59 now, and when I was probably 12, unknowingly, I was getting the hunched over posture. So my bad posture is 47 years old. Today, I tried the one exercise, taking a cane with both hands from front to back. I am sure sir, I will get rid of my hunched over posture within a few days.Thank you again. May both of you live long ! Remembering you in my prayers.

[@carlrischen174]

Thank you! Isn’t that the way we all begin in some way or other. I am so grateful for this particular video. I have a significant forward head carry and, at my new gym, one of the trainers seems intent to being sure I don’t forget it. So I am finally doubling down on dealing with it. Thus, this is timely for me. Over time you have helped me, and continue to help, with innumerable other challenges. And it’s not just me-family, friends, even the occasional stranger. Best to Bob ❤. And Mike, you seem increasingly comfortable in your new role and that is so good to see! Thank you for stepping up. And Brad (don’t want you to feel left out), you are wonderful. Plain and simple. Thank you so much!

RE: Back/Shoulders against the wall. 5 repetitions/5 times a day, but how long should a person remain in that position before resting and moving on to the next repetition? Other stretches mention the length of time to perform. How long per time against the wall. Thanks!

[@wyomingscholar]

I appreciate you addressing this issue so I can help my mom. I'm surprised no one has commented about the in-bed exercise of lifting the arms over the head. I'd say 100% of people have a headboard or a wall that would prevent doing that move in Week 1. Suggestions? Just bend the arms over the top of the head?

An MRI scan I had some years ago showed that my upper back was permanently humped because for whatever reason (inborn or developed, I don't know), the vertebrae were conical rather than cylindrical. This seems to be impossible to remedy (though at 77 and a half, I don't suffer any pain or discomfort). I wonder how many others have the same condition.
