This article is a transcribed, edited summary of a video Bob and Brad recorded in October 2024. For the original video, go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLejw4_pETY
Brad: Is it true that you can get two inches taller and look much better, Mike?
Mike: I don't know if you look better with that ball under your chin, but we are going to take a stroll down memory lane and see if this is, in fact, true.
Brad: And we'll explain the ball later. We're going to talk a little bit about increasing your height in two minutes, or very shortly, two inches. We've got an actual video that Bob and I did a few years ago that really explains and demonstrates this. So let's go back and look at this now. Ho, ho, ho, not that far back. Let's go back just a few years ago.
Bob: And I don't look good either.
Brad: Yeah, you don't look good, Bob. Okay, here we go. So right there, you can see it lines up with the top of that mark. Now, Bob, can you correct your posture? There we go. Two inches. We did it!
Bob: We made it.
Brad: And Bob, you look better now, you're taller.
Bob: I look better, I look more confident.
Brad: Yes.
Bob: I'm going to get that job interview.
Brad: Right. We just did a video on power posing
Bob: Power posing and power posture, yes.
Brad: All right, so you can see from our demonstration, you can get two inches taller simply by adjusting your posture. Bob did it, and it actually makes you look better. It didn't make Bob look any better, but most people make them look better. So what we're going to do is show three options on how to adjust your posture. You can do a very simple thing in three different ways to think about it. Mike.
Mike: Now, if I were six, six like Bob, I don't think I'd want to be any taller, but anyway, I'm not that tall. So, an option, we're going to go through three different ones. The first one is simply lifting your ribcage up. If you want to think of your sternal notch, the top part here, before you get to your neck.
Mike: Imagine you have a nice piece of jewelry there, a diamond necklace or something, and you want to show it off. So instead of squeezing my shoulder blades back like that, we're going to lift up and expand. My shoulders are nice and relaxed. This is easy to keep this position. So if you notice you're slouched over a lot, seated or standing, just think about lifting those ribs and expanding, making it easier to breathe, and you look taller.
Brad: There we go, so the sternal notch method, number one. Number two, we're going to talk about the grapefruit method. Now this comes from Sara Meeks, she's a well-known physical therapist for...
Mike: Osteoporosis.
Brad: Osteoporosis. And if you do have osteoporosis, you'll know, or maybe you don't know, posture is absolutely critical, so you don't compress and have a vertebral fracture in your spine. So what Sara Meeks says is, think you have a grapefruit underneath your chin. And here, I like to use this ball. It's about the same size. We put it there, and I'm going to tuck my chin in, and I'm going to pull back like that sternal notch with the diamond exercise. And, there we go. It puts my head in the perfect position. Oftentimes, people look up or look too far down. This puts you in the perfect position. Shoulders are relaxed.
Mike: You try walking around like that all day.
Brad: As a matter of fact, I'm going to.
Mike: Okay.
Brad: I'm going to keep this in there so I have perfect posture while you demonstrate the next option.
Mike: You might smell good, too, if you have a grapefruit there, actually. The next option is to go up to a wall. And what you want to do is try to touch the back of your shoulders and the back of your head to the wall. Now, if you really struggle first just to get your shoulders working on just try to touch your butt, low back, and shoulders to the wall. Then work on the head component. Most people, if their neck is tight, they'll cheat and they'll look up, because I can hit my head that way. I want to keep looking forward, with the chin straight. I'm going to try to touch the back of my head to the wall. This is a good way to try to hold this pose. If you need to bring your feet further out, you can, but just work on going forward and back once you can comfortably get in this position. This will get you looking and feeling taller.
Brad: And maybe a little chin tuck in there. Just let your chin go down, Mike. You're so tight. Relax. Relax.
Mike: You just wanted to touch my beard.
Brad: There we go.
Mike: Anyway, we have one more bonus option, don't we?
Brad: Yeah, we do as a matter of fact. Yeah, this is where the grapefruit or ball really puts that chin in the perfect position. I'm still relaxing my shoulders. Now, the next thing you can do is you can take a Booyah Stik and or any stick four to five inches long. I'm going to do it this.
Mike: Well, fine. You get the ball and the stick. I'm just going to sit here.
Brad: No, I can do it with the ball in place. You touch this point between, can you show, Mike?
Mike: I thought you could do it.
Brad: I'm sorry.
Mike: You're going to touch the back of the head between the shoulder blades, and then you're going to want to try to get into the tailbone area there. So, not literally having a stick up your butt, and now he lost his ball.
Brad: Oh, this is a family show. There will be no talk like that.
Mike: Tushy! Tushy!
Brad: There we go. And then we're going to be like this, and then I encourage you to do squats so you maintain perfect posture with motion. You can walk around like this.
Brad: I don't, wouldn't do it outside, of course, but in-house. And then, yeah, also a good stretch on your shoulders as well. Let me, let me have the ball back.
Mike: Now, how often should they do these things, Brad?
Brad: Well, this is something you need to do at least three times a day. Really think about it. If you want to put the ball in and hold it like I did for a while, it really helps maintain muscle memory. You know, if you want to go shopping with it, you could. And just say, "Bob and Brad told me to, as well as Mike."
Mike: You actually wrote a challenge here. So for the audience, if you're struggling with this, try to work up to five minutes holding the ball in place.
Brad: Yeah, I couldn't do it because of the stick; otherwise, I was going to keep it in.
Mike: So, Brad, zero. Guests, let us know if you can actually do this.
Brad: There you go. Seriously, these are really important exercises that will get you tall, just like Bob in the beginning video. And when you have a habit, you're just always going to look taller. You're going to look better, there's no doubt.
Mike: If you want to check out more videos on getting taller, watch
Brad: There you go. Enjoy the day.
Mike: Enjoy your grapefruit.
