“Most people want to be happy but their habit is to be worried or frustrated or stressed,” says motivational speaker Tony Robbins.. But changing that habit isn’t as hard as you might think.. “We all want to be able to change the way we feel. Emotion is created by motion. The way you move determines the way you feel. I have this deal with myself called ‘priming.’ It’s ten minutes, I put music on, I do this massive change in my breathing and then I do this 3-step process,” said Robbins.. 1. 3-minutes of gratitude—Think about 3 things I’m really greatful for. 2. 3-minute prayer for family and friends. 3. 3-minute process of the top 3 things I want to accomplish. “My deal is 10 so there is no excuse not to do it,” said Robbins.

Take heart; the Lumo Lift is here, and it now syncs with your MyFitnessPal account. The Lumo Lift is a small-but-mighty device that lights the way for you to achieve better posture. Not only can it stake a claim on the title of “1st digital posture tracker,” it has been lauded by TIME Magazine as one of “The 25 Best Inventions of 2014.” Once you clip the Lift onto your shirt or undergarments, it tracks your. Try these tips for improving your posture while standing, sitting and lying in bed, with a focus on spinal mobility and breath work. While walking, stand tall.
Inhale, roll your shoulders up and back, then exhale and roll your shoulders down, as if you are gently tucking your shoulder blades into your back pockets. Try seated pelvic tilts. 2 – Good posture improves confidence.
The “powerful pose” releases chemicals in the body that can make you more confident. When you open your chest (push your shoulders back and lift your head), two things happen: 1 – Testosterone, a hormone associated with greater confidence and power, is released. 2 – Cortisol, a hormone associated with stress, is lowered. There are several ways to improve your posture, including taking a “yoga for better posture” class, or just yoga classes in general, since yoga elongates the body and retrains your frame to be more upright with your shoulders back and spine aligned, the position will soon feel more natural to. Good posture could also potentially give athletes, musicians, public speakers, and other performers a confidence boost.
In addition, good posture is associated with a number of other health. Exhale as you bend forward at the hips, lengthening the front of your torso. Bend your elbows and hold on to each elbow with the opposite hand. Let the crown of. Body Posture Affects Confidence In Your Own Thoughts, Study Finds Date: October 5, 2009 Source: Ohio State University Summary: Sitting up straight in your chair isn’t just good for your posture.
A less invasive path to an instant mood lift is to simply sit up straight, according to a new study published in Health Psychology. Researchers studied. Lower back into your hinge position, keeping your back straight. This time, have your palms facing each other and a slight bend in your elbows. Moving from the back of your shoulders, squeeze your shoulder blades together to lift the weights out to the side.
With control lower back down and repeat 15 times. Sitting up straight, on the other hand, gave them more confidence. “For people who are anxious about math, posture makes a giant difference,” Peper explains in.
List of related literature:
present a confident body posture, keeping their heads up (chin parallel to the floor or ground) and their bodies erect (shoulders in line with one’s hips).

On my very first day of doing these stretches I felt that my normal lower back pain went away almost can’t believe it but I am not in pain so I have to believe it. Seriously thank you for this video. You are amazing ❤️
Feeling so peaceful! Thank you Tony for lifting us up! And I am always grateful for my beautiful family, friends and everyone! Grateful for the planet we leave, Nature,and every species.
Hey @Miss Auti, Can you give me any ideas on how to stretch out my right leg? My right leg is rather stiff compared to my left leg. Especially when doing a side split (right split) and doing a leg hold.

I just took the 4 mins to do this… I don’t really feel any different? not sure if the other comments on this video are real. They seem to be very exaggerated compared to my experience.
Hi There, Ive found this video to be extremely helpful and informative. Could i get your permission to recommend this video for the attendees to use in a program that supports abuse and trauma victims recover and heal? Happy to give you full credits and links to your channel. thank you so much for this video. so glad i found it. Ange
I have Lumbar lordosis and hunched back. I remember when I was in my early teens I always had back pains. Now that I’m older I realized that it is because I’ve always had big breast since the age of 12. I’m 22 now and my breasts are huge and that’s the reason why I have back pains and hunched back. My breast are to have so I had to tilt forward so my back wouldn’t hurt.
I doubt anyone will believe me but the neck part is wrong. Completely opposite. Don’t do this people. It pains me because this guy obviously wants to help people, but he just has it backwards in one case. The reason your neck has that angle and is not straight up is because the front muscles are weak. And the back muscles of the neck are strong and tight. From the years of pulling the head back to the horizontal position. The back muscles pull head up, so you need to stretch those. Not make them stronger. They are already strong. And the front neck muscles are actually stretched, so you need to strengthen those. Just push your head forward while keeping it horizontal and standing straignt and tell me which muscles feel tight (therefore need stretching).. the front or the back… Overall, the posture itself… yes, the back muscles around the scapula are weak and the chest is tight and needs to be stretched. But for that reason the neck has to compensate and do the opposite to keep your head horizontal. Therefore pull with your back neck muscles (make them stronger) and stretch the front neck muscles (which makes them weaker). If you do what this video suggests, regarding this part, it will make it much worse. Rest of the video is solid. The wall exercise is solid. The awareness part is solid. The reverse arm leg exercise is solid. Just the neck mucles info is wrong. While you do the wall exercise, push your chin down and try to touch your Adam’s apple with it.
I agree with the strength exercises but some doctors say stretching gives only short term pain relief but in the long run is actually bad for your back. They say stretching weakens your muscles. What benefits do you see in stretching your back Mr. Goodman?
My chiropractor highly recommends the FT offered here, and I do agree that it keeps my former lower back pain away. It also helps me remember how to bend!
I’m afraid that twisting the legs and hips to the side (first exercise) would be quite an “unsafe” movement for those with osteoporosis. Am I correct? Thank you.
A commenter raised a great question that got me to dig more into various neck issues. I learned there are actually two types of imbalances that can mess with your posture.
The first comes from looking down at your phone while texting, which causes the imbalance I talk about in this video.
The second is actually the exact opposite problem! It’s caused by tight chest muscles pulling you forward and then your neck compensating to keep your eyes looking forward, leading to tight muscles in the back of your head where the head and neck connect. In this instance you actually want to work on elongating your rear neck.
The good news is that tucking your chin during the wall angels should help with this second type of neck/head misalignment.
Ultimately you’ll have to diagnose yourself. Try various neck stretches and see what areas feel tight. Also pay attention to which stretches seem to lead to better posture afterwards because that’s a good indication that that’s the area that’s overly tight for you.
And if things are severe, you can always go to a physical therapist and get a professional to help you out.
Thank you for making this video. I tried them all out yesterday and it was soooo nice. (my back is a bit sore from the broomstick behind the backbut in a good way!) Do you have any videos like this with less explaining but where we can follow along from start to finish? Maybe like a part two to this one after we understand how all the exercises work. That would be so wonderful!
i don’t understand the last excersise… i don’t know what im doing wrong cause its very easy to do… unlike wall angels where i actually shake when doing them
Why the people that had ice coffee didn’t say that the character was super cool? And why the people that had hot coffee didn’t say that the character was a hot-head? XD
I’m curious if anyone experienced this, after doing this exercise 3 times. On the third day my upper back locked up and started getting spasms. It all feels incredibly tight. I think it might be due to fatigue. but curious if anyone else had the same issue.
Ok..this is just creepy! THIS MORNING (it’s only 8:20am as I write) I was thinking I needed to get back into Bikrim Yoga bc I felt my neck (where it attaches to my spine) was beginning to protrude. I KNEW it was from all the technological activities I’ve stepped up! Imagine my astonishment at finding your video in my feed! Yeowwwzer. Thank you for posting this! K
I have an audition tomorrow! It’s for my studio’s new competition team! I started recently and I’ve made hUGE strides when it comes to improvement. I’d like to thank you because your videos are so so helpful. Thanks so much Ms Auti!!!! <33
Extended puppy pose is also great for relieving pain from bad posture. Here’s how to do it: 1: Come onto all fours. Make sure your wrists are under your shoulders and your knees are under your hips. 2: Walk your hands forward a few inches and curl your toes under. As you exhale, move your butt halfway back toward your heels. Keep your arms active; don’t let your elbows touch the ground. Drop your forehead to the floor or to a blanket and let your neck relax. To feel a nice long stretch in your spine, press the hands down and stretch through the arms while pulling your hips back toward your heels. Breathe into your back, feeling the spine lengthen in both directions.
Hey, this is actually wrong @charisma on command. You’re making people’s postures worse. You should remove this video. In the video you are referring to xcross syndrome. You want to strengthen the muscles in the front of the neck and stretch the ones in the back. What you are telling people to do will actually make their posture worse.
I’m 20, and I spent a good portion of my teenage years laying slouched on my bed. No sports or anything, just listening to music and wasting time on my phone. I realized last year that that’s probably horrible for your back. I’m trying to do better now, but I would imagine some of it can’t be fixed.
I’m still confused, do you want to have a natural curve in your spine or just straight. When I sit up in my band class I just let my spine curve naturally like I have a strong pulling up in my head. Would this be correct or am I wrong??
As a 47 year old who has never been in a dance class/studio and loves to dance “free style” (aka any movement that the music makes me feel) with no dance experience and bad posture this really helps! Hope I can retrain these “old” muscles
I feel strong tightness in my right adductor area…….. while stretching my right hips up to my ribs with my right leg back. [I am realising how much I am twisted to the right]. Is that often typical? Thanks Dr Eric
what do you mean when you say “lower back is braced”? Does it mean that the low back is kept extended with anterior pelvic tilt? or should i be doing a posterior pelvic tilt?
He said that this helps “free up your shoulders”, would this help fix my “rolled forward” shoulders that I have? I sit on the computer all day and I am wondering if just doing this will be enough. I also have lower back issues from sitting though and this definitely felt great so I will still do it regardless.

I always enjoy listening to Tony Robbins. What’s up with these interviewers tho? They have no clue anything about him lol awkward! I would think they’d take a minute to know who they we’re interviewing especially the awesome Tony Robbins
I hurt my back last week when I had to lift something heavy and it didn’t get much better. Thanks to Youtube recommendating this video. With the help of your tips I tried to do something about my posture and a part of the backache went away on the same day.
Just taught my kiddos this in my dance classes at school! I feel like it’s something that is so overlooked especially in public school. I’ve never heard of the “plumb line” analogy before I’m definitely gonna start using that! Thanks!
THank you so much. I’ve been having back pains next to my left shoulder and it’s killing me for years now. After doing this even 1 time I feel a little better, I’ll keep doing it every day and report the results. Thank you for making this
Does this need to be modified for a person who has injuries/damage to L3, L4, and L5? Just finished second session of PRP and at Dr follow up was recommended to loom into foundation training.
Dr. Goodman, your focus and development of your programs is based upon good biomechanical principles, but I am wondering if you have, since developing this program, corrected your understanding and teaching about the heel weight and lunge philosophy as shown in this video, as being incomplete/incorrect? For example, the example of the guy in the lunge position, you said his knee was way too far forward because of an assumption of quad loading. Quad loading is not initiated in a 90deg tibial line to the floor as an anatomical dependency. His forward position was perfect as long as he is loading his hamstrings. The founder position of knee over ankle should be accomplished property in the lunge as well and I believe you are missing the most important element of the hamstring glute combo training by bandaiding the position on the heel weight instead of flat feet balance positioning of the foot and avoiding the tendency to load quads by shutting off the hamstrings as well by having pupils pull the knee back too far in the lunge. These principles are very key to proper biomechanical structure and movement, yet so commonly overlooked. Hamstring loading is a natural part of the gate of movement forward and to not utilize the proper loading at the proper positions is the cause of overloading the quads as we see so often in lunges or squats.
Hey!! I’m 13 and I have really bad “text neck” and rounded shoulders. My mum tells me it’s because I’m always on my phone and carry a heavy backpack. Since I’m insecure it makes my life 10× worse and I hate wearing dresses and off the shoulder tops because it makes me look ‘manly’ I’ve been going your exsersises 2× a day for the past 2 weeks and I’m noticing a difference. I’ve also been trying to sit upright in seats and not look down in my phone but put it close to my face.thank you so much. This is very important and you are so underated
My chiropractor has given me the founder exercise to do to strengthen my posture and alleviate my muscular tension, but I’m worried because I have a lower lumber scoliosis with anterior pelvic tilt and hyper lordosis, but the first founder exercise is like the extreme position of my existing bad posture. My chiro insists that is won’t make it worse. Can you tell me if this exercise will improve or exacerbate anterior pelvic tile and lordosis?
Is it ok to do this even if you have a possible disc bulge and possible piriformis syndome? I tried this and actually it didn’t hurt in the piriformis and it didn’t cramp once (usually cramps bad when I stand up straight. Going to keep trying if this would work. Do you have any spacial tips for sciatica or piriformis pain?
Whenever i start to have low back pain i do this and the pain goes away until i go back to bed and wake up in the morning. I probably need a new mattress.
Just a quick but I think very important note: when doing these exercises, please, please do not forget to pay attention to keeping your spine neutral and tuck in your pelvis. This is absolutely crucial for these exercises to be effective! I would also encourage anyone with back problems that they think may be related to muscular imbalances to at least research this issue on-line, because this may be the missing link that keeps you from getting results. I spent 3 years struggling with back issues and only a good physiotherapist managed to assess and address this issue properly, I encourage you to seek professional advice if your pain/discomfort persists and given our lifestyles almost everyone would benefit from some basic education on the matter! Stay healthy:)
Would have been better off not having the “one and only Tony Robbins” and had a true therapist on your show. Someone who practices tested approaches such as CBT, REBT, MBCT, etc. Tony Robbins is a salesman who takes what he finds useful and feeds it to the masses who follow him expecting words of wisdom. Just take the time to read and you don’t have to follow anyone. A bit of common sense and learning from life’s experiences (one’s own and other peoples’) will teach you how to live a happy and fulfilled life. But you have to practice the best and keep it up.
It is the first time I see a perfect biomecanical dance lesson. No bullshit like “feel the floor” or “be more comitted in your dance”. You just put the rights words on what to do. Maybe, you could put more emphasis on muscle involvment. To hold the right position at the begining is very hard and needs a lot of strenght, essentially because of undermusculation of postural muscles (and in plus of that, you have to go against your “wrong muscle memory” of you modern human sitting all day long in a chair (or sofa)!). An advice: on basic online lessons, you could use a beginer and tell the audience why while trying to do what you say, he does not succede very well (misunderstanding, flexibility, proprioception or muscle strengh issues).
I have the book so it was helpful to see have the video to go along with them. I have only just started. My degeneration is in the lower back and neck. I can feel the deference already in my lower back. Do these help with the discs in the neck as well?

My fundamental issue with Tony is centered around his fast talking gobbledygook. He uses some fair amount of intellectual content, but it gets lost in the embellished hype on steroids.
Life does not move as fast as he talks. In addition, the most profound and powerful forces around us manifest in silence; flowers blooming, trees budding and the reflection of the moon and stars in the night sky.
Voice is not always volume and rapidity, unless it manifests in the context of destructive energy. True voice is the confidence of calm and fluid dynamics observed in nature.
It’s the shallow brook that babbles.
“The basic rule of human nature is that powerful people speak slowly and subservient people quickly, because if they don’t speak fast nobody will listen to them.”
Another issue is the ungodly and reprehensible amount of money he charges to attend his speaking marathons. That my friend is total bull shit.
Think of it like this. He openly admits he searches out the most successful people in the world to learn from. Ok, no problem there. However, he then fleeces his cult followers with an unethical price tag scam while they listen to hours of regurgitated info he obtained for free.
This is the “Goodwill” scam. The Goodwill industry gets items for free and what was initially a modest price tag to serve communities, has evolved into a greedy money grubbing monster.
The prices keep going up. Are you serious? They aquire the items for free.
I have some trouble keeping my balance in the lunge exercise. It helps me if I can have the back foot flat on the ground. Not sure it that shortens the length of the lunge or otherwise weakens or invalidates the exercise. Any tips?
I liked most of these. Some good tips, especially the heavy “arms up against wall”-exercise. But the first stretch with taking back your head hurts my neck. I can’t hold it that long and it feels harmful. I’m not going to do that one and I’m not sure everyone else should either.
Hello! Are these exercises for herniated discs also? Would they do more damage? I particularly think about bending forward…which is forbidden in herniated discs.
Can someone suffer through sway back, lumbar lordosis and hunched back together?!! Pls reply..I feel I have all these three..also I have cervical and migraine
Started this exercise about 1 year ago, it really hurt my right lower back, and now the problem is worsening. I am in pain and I cannot walk when I rise from a sitting position. feels like the sacroiliac joint is out of position. i have to push it back into place before I can walk. I do not advise this stretching over the internet. too many variables and no one to help you. I am an active person, in good health and not overweight. BE AWARE!
thank you for this I’ve been doing this for 5 days now I’m not in pain but it’s fixing my posture and every time after I do this my body feels 100 times better☺
Exercise 1: Tilt head slowly back and hold 30 seconds, then tilt to one side, then the other Exercise 2: Hanging from a bar or door frame stretch (put arm at right angle to door frame, then turn and stretch Exercise 3: Wall angels, raise arms so they’re parallel with ground, create right angles, then raise them above your head Exercise 4: Lunges and bird dogs (also try not to sit for long periods of time! )
I have the book and also follow the other 12 minute video with more exercises and recommended it to friends with back pain. You are a genius and also very generous for sharing this online for the benefit of all. These exercises are a very effective a straightforward way to relieve back pain and correct movement patters engaging the right muscles. Thank you so much
i’m pretty sure I have Lumbar Lordosis. I’ve noticed it for a while and I knew something was wrong with my posture, because it just didn’t look and feel normal to me.
I have a ton of posture issues stemming from scoliosis and a brain malformation. I am constantly battling chest tightness, weak back muscles, and slipping vertebrae and ribs. The pinned note actually also addresses half of my issues and the video addresses the other half. I’ve been looking for everything that can help and I’m glad I stumbled on this. Thanks!!
Moder Theresa was according to many a psycopath that enjoyed when people suffered. Theres about these from witnesses. How she refused people medical care etc, because she wanted them to suffer like Jesus and bla bla. And that comment “seeing people DIE with a smile on their face”…. its a pretty weird comment in the psycopath context.
I’m a big fan & just bought Eric’s book. I realize that there are different theories out there but I’m going to add that from an alignment perspective, rib thrusting (chest out) weakens the core and, along with belly breathing, contributes to diastasis recti so I’ve learned to do these exercises with my ribs down & breathing into my ribs. Much nicer on my pelvic floor as well:) All the best!
Dr. Goodman also strikingly resembles Indian “Bollywood” actor, John Abraham. Ironically, John Abraham, even though he is a former model, has horrible posture. I have horrible posture too, so thank you for the lessons.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. It’s been very helpful since day one. I’ve seen several videos because of my neck pain and I can notice an improvement now. This is gonna be something I’m gonna keep doing now on
Process to set the done for the day: Change breathing. 3 step process. 1. GratitudeThink and really feel 3 things you are grateful for. 2. Prayer for family and friends. 3. See and feel 3 things you want to accomplish see it as done!
My lower back was very unstable. It was a problem when I played tennis. My chiropractor gave me exercises to do to address the issue, but it did not help. This three minute video made an immediate difference. If you really want to improve your posture and your life, try a Foundation Class. The videos are a good start, but the class will teach you so much more including proper positioning and deep breathing.
Thank you for posting these videos. I am a true exercise novice who is trying to start a Foundation Training regimen. How often per day do you suggest that a beginner do the exercises in this particular video? How many repetitions do you recommend? Thanks in advance!
Life changing! This video is perfect length to do every day. For a bit more, I do good mornings during his Intro and wrap up. I also add raising my foot up and down with the side bend.
Any tips on this? I want to get into federal arms contracting but my family and friends are all against it. I honestly dont care but knowing that my own mother would disown me is stomach turning.
I cannot thank you enough for your videos and sharing your knowledge. Already have improvement in my neck and upper back pain ive endured for years and I just started watching your videos 3 days ago. Thank you and God Bless
Hey I know you’re trying to help people but this guy has a sway in the lower back and a anterior pelvic tilt. By putting him more into extension is counterintuitive when trying to help patients with back pain.
This is an excellent video. A lot of people dont realize that there are people (like me) that are above the average size of a “normally” tall person. So ive lived my entire teen and adult life as a very tall person. Its is a blessing, I am very glad. With such a great blessing, there does come some negatives though. Back pain is probably the biggest negative there is. A video that discusses this and solves the issue is such a refreshing thing to see. Thank you!
“Its like building a muscle”You have to keep running to be a runner for example.You can’t take 3 months off and not die on your first run over your first hill.That was a very very wise comment of his.The running thing I threw in there.His point is that his principles will not work if you don’t keep working at them.Just like any other skill set.People come out of his seminars all hyped up but they don’t keep “running”once they leave.Running your brain efficiently is a lifestyle that has to be continually practiced.Just like learning math.Point taken.He practices it the way a marathoner trains and runs.
This series is amazing! You will be surprised your sore the first few times. My husband has no disc L4-L5, S1 and these are the primary reason he can still work out without pain. I am a sports therapist and always recommend them to my clients with Low Back Painevery one I know who does Foundation exercises has found them beneficial. if you have LBPTake the 4 min to do these!!!!
God you can just see the bird brain reporters looking for their next headline and really don’t even care what he’s saying. Tony shouldnt have shared that knowledge with them
Thank you! I have been working on fixing my posture and being more aware of it. I will be sure to add these workouts and stretches to my daily routine.

Go to [Check Details Here=> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dfxf67u0uibsh1uirue3pQRkTvNPT54Uh_uG-8tmsG4/edit?usp=sharing ] there to see that how to solve this issue by doing some simple basic exercise.
Okay, when we dance everything happens…. Emotions come back on difficult movements. Sometimes also, very simple ones. All a story when it happens more than three minutes during a choreography,… with these emotions we live during the dance, it may happen that you are not aware of the good posture consciously. So…. to me, I need more…to learn how to be relaxed enough in an competition ‘ s atmosphere when people look at you. When we get relaxed and do these movements slowly, it is okay to be quiet. And zen. But… when everything goes faster and faster, I am aware that a sudden bad posture, not controlled makes that you can even hurt yourself. So okay, what you say is, at least, very useful when you go to work,…you think about your posture… it is useful. But the good verticality when you are in choreographies, means….that you have to deal with some emotions and bad postures habits which may come back. So what can you advice with some exercises? Thanks a lot.
Hello! I ‘m a 42 years old man and I have hunch back. For how much time I do these exercises? How many times in a day I must do them? I ‘ll recorver my shelf cause I have a serious bad posture. Thank you!
It’s all about the morning routine. Tony Robins wakes up, springs out of bed, eats some raw eggs, runs a 2400 mile marathon, authors a book, invents a new method of space travel, saves 11 lives through the power of positivity, loves a bunny rabbit, cures AIDS, evolves into a being of pure energy, then gets a shower and prepares to greet tree day.

Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn’t that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you.
Clinton,..wow,…If you talked that cunt into running for office i hate you,…If you told Bill its ok to have fat interns spread thier legs for a cigar,..thats just,……..great.
and it feels like a hell of a stretch in my lower back which I know is very tight and it feels like I can’t sit into my hips all the way. I have lower back spasms and I know it’s long and weak i just hope foundation training is safe to do.
My favourite chest stretch is clasping both hands together behind my back (roughly mid back) then pushing them down towards my heals. It naturally pushes the chest out, rolls the shoulders back and gets rid of the slouch in one movement.
it really worked well for me, i sit a lot during the day and i started having back pain, i feel a lot better with only a few days just once per day on this 4 min exercise. Really thank you sir.

8:00…i dont have people sitting still. Emotion comes from motion. A minute feels like an eternity when you don’t like what you’re doing. When all your needs are fulfilled, time flies.
On my very first day of doing these stretches I felt that my normal lower back pain went away almost can’t believe it but I am not in pain so I have to believe it. Seriously thank you for this video. You are amazing ❤️
Feeling so peaceful! Thank you Tony for lifting us up! And I am always grateful for my beautiful family, friends and everyone! Grateful for the planet we leave, Nature,and every species.
Hey @Miss Auti,
Can you give me any ideas on how to stretch out my right leg? My right leg is rather stiff compared to my left leg. Especially when doing a side split (right split) and doing a leg hold.
Amazing Video

I just took the 4 mins to do this… I don’t really feel any different? not sure if the other comments on this video are real. They seem to be very exaggerated compared to my experience.
Hi There, Ive found this video to be extremely helpful and informative. Could i get your permission to recommend this video for the attendees to use in a program that supports abuse and trauma victims recover and heal? Happy to give you full credits and links to your channel. thank you so much for this video. so glad i found it. Ange
I have Lumbar lordosis and hunched back. I remember when I was in my early teens I always had back pains. Now that I’m older I realized that it is because I’ve always had big breast since the age of 12. I’m 22 now and my breasts are huge and that’s the reason why I have back pains and hunched back. My breast are to have so I had to tilt forward so my back wouldn’t hurt.
I doubt anyone will believe me but the neck part is wrong. Completely opposite. Don’t do this people. It pains me because this guy obviously wants to help people, but he just has it backwards in one case. The reason your neck has that angle and is not straight up is because the front muscles are weak. And the back muscles of the neck are strong and tight. From the years of pulling the head back to the horizontal position. The back muscles pull head up, so you need to stretch those. Not make them stronger. They are already strong. And the front neck muscles are actually stretched, so you need to strengthen those. Just push your head forward while keeping it horizontal and standing straignt and tell me which muscles feel tight (therefore need stretching).. the front or the back… Overall, the posture itself… yes, the back muscles around the scapula are weak and the chest is tight and needs to be stretched. But for that reason the neck has to compensate and do the opposite to keep your head horizontal. Therefore pull with your back neck muscles (make them stronger) and stretch the front neck muscles (which makes them weaker).
If you do what this video suggests, regarding this part, it will make it much worse. Rest of the video is solid. The wall exercise is solid. The awareness part is solid. The reverse arm leg exercise is solid. Just the neck mucles info is wrong. While you do the wall exercise, push your chin down and try to touch your Adam’s apple with it.
I agree with the strength exercises but some doctors say stretching gives only short term pain relief but in the long run is actually bad for your back. They say stretching weakens your muscles.
What benefits do you see in stretching your back Mr. Goodman?
My chiropractor highly recommends the FT offered here, and I do agree that it keeps my former lower back pain away. It also helps me remember how to bend!
I’m afraid that twisting the legs and hips to the side (first exercise) would be quite an “unsafe” movement for those with osteoporosis. Am I correct? Thank you.
Good exercises. But for all of them, camera need zoom out-so we can see your whole body, arms and legs out to hand and feet positions.
Quick note on neck/head posture!
A commenter raised a great question that got me to dig more into various neck issues. I learned there are actually two types of imbalances that can mess with your posture.
The first comes from looking down at your phone while texting, which causes the imbalance I talk about in this video.
The second is actually the exact opposite problem! It’s caused by tight chest muscles pulling you forward and then your neck compensating to keep your eyes looking forward, leading to tight muscles in the back of your head where the head and neck connect. In this instance you actually want to work on elongating your rear neck.
The good news is that tucking your chin during the wall angels should help with this second type of neck/head misalignment.
Ultimately you’ll have to diagnose yourself. Try various neck stretches and see what areas feel tight. Also pay attention to which stretches seem to lead to better posture afterwards because that’s a good indication that that’s the area that’s overly tight for you.
And if things are severe, you can always go to a physical therapist and get a professional to help you out.
Thank you for making this video. I tried them all out yesterday and it was soooo nice. (my back is a bit sore from the broomstick behind the backbut in a good way!) Do you have any videos like this with less explaining but where we can follow along from start to finish? Maybe like a part two to this one after we understand how all the exercises work. That would be so wonderful!
i don’t understand the last excersise… i don’t know what im doing wrong cause its very easy to do… unlike wall angels where i actually shake when doing them

Oh great video!) I just recently made a video on my channel also about posture and lower back. But it’s more concentrated on ballroom dancers)
I’m curious if anyone experienced this, after doing this exercise 3 times. On the third day my upper back locked up and started getting spasms. It all feels incredibly tight. I think it might be due to fatigue. but curious if anyone else had the same issue.
Please make modern ballet videos! Not sure if you already have made them, I just can’t find them on your channel, which I by the way LOVE!<3

Ok..this is just creepy! THIS MORNING (it’s only 8:20am as I write) I was thinking I needed to get back into Bikrim Yoga bc I felt my neck (where it attaches to my spine) was beginning to protrude. I KNEW it was from all the technological activities I’ve stepped up! Imagine my astonishment at finding your video in my feed! Yeowwwzer. Thank you for posting this! K
I have an audition tomorrow! It’s for my studio’s new competition team! I started recently and I’ve made hUGE strides when it comes to improvement. I’d like to thank you because your videos are so so helpful. Thanks so much Ms Auti!!!! <33
Extended puppy pose is also great for relieving pain from bad posture. Here’s how to do it:
1: Come onto all fours. Make sure your wrists are under your shoulders and your knees are under your hips.
2: Walk your hands forward a few inches and curl your toes under. As you exhale, move your butt halfway back toward your heels. Keep your arms active; don’t let your elbows touch the ground. Drop your forehead to the floor or to a blanket and let your neck relax. To feel a nice long stretch in your spine, press the hands down and stretch through the arms while pulling your hips back toward your heels. Breathe into your back, feeling the spine lengthen in both directions.
Thank you for making this available through YouTube. It means a lot. I’m seeing a difference already in posture and back pain relief. God bless you
Hey, this is actually wrong @charisma on command. You’re making people’s postures worse. You should remove this video.
In the video you are referring to xcross syndrome. You want to strengthen the muscles in the front of the neck and stretch the ones in the back.
What you are telling people to do will actually make their posture worse.
I have the first 3 bad posters so I’ll be doing a lot of exercises, and by the way how long should it take for me to see some results?
I’m 20, and I spent a good portion of my teenage years laying slouched on my bed. No sports or anything, just listening to music and wasting time on my phone. I realized last year that that’s probably horrible for your back. I’m trying to do better now, but I would imagine some of it can’t be fixed.
I’m still confused, do you want to have a natural curve in your spine or just straight. When I sit up in my band class I just let my spine curve naturally like I have a strong pulling up in my head. Would this be correct or am I wrong??
As a 47 year old who has never been in a dance class/studio and loves to dance “free style” (aka any movement that the music makes me feel) with no dance experience and bad posture this really helps! Hope I can retrain these “old” muscles
I feel strong tightness in my right adductor area…….. while stretching my right hips up to my ribs with my right leg back. [I am realising how much I am twisted to the right]. Is that often typical? Thanks Dr Eric
what do you mean when you say “lower back is braced”? Does it mean that the low back is kept extended with anterior pelvic tilt? or should i be doing a posterior pelvic tilt?
He said that this helps “free up your shoulders”, would this help fix my “rolled forward” shoulders that I have? I sit on the computer all day and I am wondering if just doing this will be enough. I also have lower back issues from sitting though and this definitely felt great so I will still do it regardless.

These are not exercises for someone with acute backpain. The movements are absolutely impossible for me, they hurt SO much and lead to horrible cramps.
I always enjoy listening to Tony Robbins. What’s up with these interviewers tho? They have no clue anything about him lol awkward! I would think they’d take a minute to know who they we’re interviewing especially the awesome Tony Robbins
I hurt my back last week when I had to lift something heavy and it didn’t get much better. Thanks to Youtube recommendating this video. With the help of your tips I tried to do something about my posture and a part of the backache went away on the same day.
Just taught my kiddos this in my dance classes at school! I feel like it’s something that is so overlooked especially in public school. I’ve never heard of the “plumb line” analogy before I’m definitely gonna start using that! Thanks!
THank you so much. I’ve been having back pains next to my left shoulder and it’s killing me for years now. After doing this even 1 time I feel a little better, I’ll keep doing it every day and report the results. Thank you for making this
Does this need to be modified for a person who has injuries/damage to L3, L4, and L5? Just finished second session of PRP and at Dr follow up was recommended to loom into foundation training.
Dr. Goodman, your focus and development of your programs is based upon good biomechanical principles, but I am wondering if you have, since developing this program, corrected your understanding and teaching about the heel weight and lunge philosophy as shown in this video, as being incomplete/incorrect? For example, the example of the guy in the lunge position, you said his knee was way too far forward because of an assumption of quad loading. Quad loading is not initiated in a 90deg tibial line to the floor as an anatomical dependency. His forward position was perfect as long as he is loading his hamstrings. The founder position of knee over ankle should be accomplished property in the lunge as well and I believe you are missing the most important element of the hamstring glute combo training by bandaiding the position on the heel weight instead of flat feet balance positioning of the foot and avoiding the tendency to load quads by shutting off the hamstrings as well by having pupils pull the knee back too far in the lunge. These principles are very key to proper biomechanical structure and movement, yet so commonly overlooked. Hamstring loading is a natural part of the gate of movement forward and to not utilize the proper loading at the proper positions is the cause of overloading the quads as we see so often in lunges or squats.
I just want to write a big THANK YOU. I m doing this 3 exercises like two weeks now and my lower back feels much better. Thanks again.
Hey!! I’m 13 and I have really bad “text neck” and rounded shoulders. My mum tells me it’s because I’m always on my phone and carry a heavy backpack. Since I’m insecure it makes my life 10× worse and I hate wearing dresses and off the shoulder tops because it makes me look ‘manly’ I’ve been going your exsersises 2× a day for the past 2 weeks and I’m noticing a difference. I’ve also been trying to sit upright in seats and not look down in my phone but put it close to my face.thank you so much. This is very important and you are so underated
I just realise that how muslim prayers 5 times a day minimum, have a good impact in their posture, if they do it correctly, what amazing religion.
My chiropractor has given me the founder exercise to do to strengthen my posture and alleviate my muscular tension, but I’m worried because I have a lower lumber scoliosis with anterior pelvic tilt and hyper lordosis, but the first founder exercise is like the extreme position of my existing bad posture. My chiro insists that is won’t make it worse. Can you tell me if this exercise will improve or exacerbate anterior pelvic tile and lordosis?
Is it ok to do this even if you have a possible disc bulge and possible piriformis syndome? I tried this and actually it didn’t hurt in the piriformis and it didn’t cramp once (usually cramps bad when I stand up straight. Going to keep trying if this would work. Do you have any spacial tips for sciatica or piriformis pain?
Whenever i start to have low back pain i do this and the pain goes away until i go back to bed and wake up in the morning. I probably need a new mattress.
Just a quick but I think very important note: when doing these exercises, please, please do not forget to pay attention to keeping your spine neutral and tuck in your pelvis. This is absolutely crucial for these exercises to be effective! I would also encourage anyone with back problems that they think may be related to muscular imbalances to at least research this issue on-line, because this may be the missing link that keeps you from getting results. I spent 3 years struggling with back issues and only a good physiotherapist managed to assess and address this issue properly, I encourage you to seek professional advice if your pain/discomfort persists and given our lifestyles almost everyone would benefit from some basic education on the matter! Stay healthy:)
Would have been better off not having the “one and only Tony Robbins” and had a true therapist on your show. Someone who practices tested approaches such as CBT, REBT, MBCT, etc. Tony Robbins is a salesman who takes what he finds useful and feeds it to the masses who follow him expecting words of wisdom. Just take the time to read and you don’t have to follow anyone. A bit of common sense and learning from life’s experiences (one’s own and other peoples’) will teach you how to live a happy and fulfilled life. But you have to practice the best and keep it up.
It is the first time I see a perfect biomecanical dance lesson. No bullshit like “feel the floor” or “be more comitted in your dance”. You just put the rights words on what to do. Maybe, you could put more emphasis on muscle involvment. To hold the right position at the begining is very hard and needs a lot of strenght, essentially because of undermusculation of postural muscles (and in plus of that, you have to go against your “wrong muscle memory” of you modern human sitting all day long in a chair (or sofa)!).
An advice: on basic online lessons, you could use a beginer and tell the audience why while trying to do what you say, he does not succede very well (misunderstanding, flexibility, proprioception or muscle strengh issues).
I have a question……how to make your body strong and you bones and your muscles?
I really still can’t dance or practice cause of this problem:(
I have the book so it was helpful to see have the video to go along with them. I have only just started. My degeneration is in the lower back and neck. I can feel the deference already in my lower back. Do these help with the discs in the neck as well?

My fundamental issue with Tony is centered around his fast talking gobbledygook. He uses some fair amount of intellectual content, but it gets lost in the embellished hype on steroids.
Life does not move as fast as he talks. In addition, the most profound and powerful forces around us manifest in silence; flowers blooming, trees budding and the reflection of the moon and stars in the night sky.
Voice is not always volume and rapidity, unless it manifests in the context of destructive energy. True voice is the confidence of calm and fluid dynamics observed in nature.
It’s the shallow brook that babbles.
“The basic rule of human nature is that powerful people speak slowly and subservient people quickly, because if they don’t speak fast nobody will listen to them.”
Another issue is the ungodly and reprehensible amount of money he charges to attend his speaking marathons. That my friend is total bull shit.
Think of it like this. He openly admits he searches out the most successful people in the world to learn from. Ok, no problem there. However, he then fleeces his cult followers with an unethical price tag scam while they listen to hours of regurgitated info he obtained for free.
This is the “Goodwill” scam. The Goodwill industry gets items for free and what was initially a modest price tag to serve communities, has evolved into a greedy money grubbing monster.
The prices keep going up. Are you serious? They aquire the items for free.
Do you get the message?
that’s the secret of life! Give thanks for what you have and give thanks in advance for what you want to manifest! It never gets old. Thanks Tony!
I have some trouble keeping my balance in the lunge exercise. It helps me if I can have the back foot flat on the ground. Not sure it that shortens the length of the lunge or otherwise weakens or invalidates the exercise. Any tips?
He is so strong. Even after burning his throat eating entire raw honeycombs his gratitude gives him supeehuman strength.
You just need to wire yourself and eat raw honeycombs like Tony
I liked most of these. Some good tips, especially the heavy “arms up against wall”-exercise. But the first stretch with taking back your head hurts my neck. I can’t hold it that long and it feels harmful. I’m not going to do that one and I’m not sure everyone else should either.

Hello! Are these exercises for herniated discs also? Would they do more damage? I particularly think about bending forward…which is forbidden in herniated discs.
Can someone suffer through sway back, lumbar lordosis and hunched back together?!! Pls reply..I feel I have all these three..also I have cervical and migraine
Started this exercise about 1 year ago, it really hurt my right lower back, and now the problem is worsening. I am in pain and I cannot walk when I rise from a sitting position. feels like the sacroiliac joint is out of position. i have to push it back into place before I can walk. I do not advise this stretching over the internet. too many variables and no one to help you. I am an active person, in good health and not overweight. BE AWARE!
Hi, could i get permission to refer this video to women taking part in a program supporting them as they recover from abuse thanks
thank you for this I’ve been doing this for 5 days now I’m not in pain but it’s fixing my posture and every time after I do this my body feels 100 times better☺
Exercise 1: Tilt head slowly back and hold 30 seconds, then tilt to one side, then the other
Exercise 2: Hanging from a bar or door frame stretch (put arm at right angle to door frame, then turn and stretch
Exercise 3: Wall angels, raise arms so they’re parallel with ground, create right angles, then raise them above your head
Exercise 4: Lunges and bird dogs (also try not to sit for long periods of time! )
I have the book and also follow the other 12 minute video with more exercises and recommended it to friends with back pain. You are a genius and also very generous for sharing this online for the benefit of all. These exercises are a very effective a straightforward way to relieve back pain and correct movement patters engaging the right muscles. Thank you so much
i’m pretty sure I have Lumbar Lordosis. I’ve noticed it for a while and I knew something was wrong with my posture, because it just didn’t look and feel normal to me.
I have a ton of posture issues stemming from scoliosis and a brain malformation. I am constantly battling chest tightness, weak back muscles, and slipping vertebrae and ribs. The pinned note actually also addresses half of my issues and the video addresses the other half. I’ve been looking for everything that can help and I’m glad I stumbled on this. Thanks!!
Moder Theresa was according to many a psycopath that enjoyed when people suffered. Theres about these from witnesses.
How she refused people medical care etc, because she wanted them to suffer like Jesus and bla bla.
And that comment “seeing people DIE with a smile on their face”…. its a pretty weird comment in the psycopath context.
I’m a big fan & just bought Eric’s book. I realize that there are different theories out there but I’m going to add that from an alignment perspective, rib thrusting (chest out) weakens the core and, along with belly breathing, contributes to diastasis recti so I’ve learned to do these exercises with my ribs down & breathing into my ribs. Much nicer on my pelvic floor as well:) All the best!
When I do lunges or plié when I go up after doing one my knees rlly hurt so I can’t use them to like warm up it’s weird aha does anyone else get that
Dr. Goodman also strikingly resembles Indian “Bollywood” actor, John Abraham. Ironically, John Abraham, even though he is a former model, has horrible posture. I have horrible posture too, so thank you for the lessons.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. It’s been very helpful since day one. I’ve seen several videos because of my neck pain and I can notice an improvement now. This is gonna be something I’m gonna keep doing now on
Process to set the done for the day: Change breathing. 3 step process. 1. GratitudeThink and really feel 3 things you are grateful for. 2. Prayer for family and friends. 3. See and feel 3 things you want to accomplish see it as done!
My lower back was very unstable. It was a problem when I played tennis. My chiropractor gave me exercises to do to address the issue, but it did not help. This three minute video made an immediate difference. If you really want to improve your posture and your life, try a Foundation Class. The videos are a good start, but the class will teach you so much more including proper positioning and deep breathing.
Thank you for posting these videos. I am a true exercise novice who is trying to start a Foundation Training regimen. How often per day do you suggest that a beginner do the exercises in this particular video? How many repetitions do you recommend? Thanks in advance!
Life changing! This video is perfect length to do every day. For a bit more, I do good mornings during his Intro and wrap up. I also add raising my foot up and down with the side bend.
Any tips on this? I want to get into federal arms contracting but my family and friends are all against it. I honestly dont care but knowing that my own mother would disown me is stomach turning.
I cannot thank you enough for your videos and sharing your knowledge. Already have improvement in my neck and upper back pain ive endured for years and I just started watching your videos 3 days ago. Thank you and God Bless
This was helping me.thanks mam.
My lower back is very arching / lordosis.. can you suggest me please..any videos / link.. thanks again..
This guy is so full of it, but theres always people going to buy the bs. He could be one of those preachers in churches taking all their money.
Hey I know you’re trying to help people but this guy has a sway in the lower back and a anterior pelvic tilt. By putting him more into extension is counterintuitive when trying to help patients with back pain.
This is an excellent video. A lot of people dont realize that there are people (like me) that are above the average size of a “normally” tall person. So ive lived my entire teen and adult life as a very tall person. Its is a blessing, I am very glad. With such a great blessing, there does come some negatives though. Back pain is probably the biggest negative there is. A video that discusses this and solves the issue is such a refreshing thing to see. Thank you!
I have lumber lordosis. If i regularly do this exercises then how much time it can take probably to get the right shape of my posture……..

Okay, when we dance everything happens…. Emotions come back on difficult movements. Sometimes also, very simple ones. All a story when it happens more than three minutes during a choreography,… with these emotions we live during the dance, it may happen that you are not aware of the good posture consciously. So…. to me, I need more…to learn how to be relaxed enough in an competition ‘ s atmosphere when people look at you. When we get relaxed and do these movements slowly, it is okay to be quiet. And zen. But… when everything goes faster and faster, I am aware that a sudden bad posture, not controlled makes that you can even hurt yourself. So okay, what you say is, at least, very useful when you go to work,…you think about your posture… it is useful. But the good verticality when you are in choreographies, means….that you have to deal with some emotions and bad postures habits which may come back. So what can you advice with some exercises? Thanks a lot.
Hello! I ‘m a 42 years old man and I have hunch back. For how much time I do these exercises? How many times in a day I must do them? I ‘ll recorver my shelf cause I have a serious bad posture. Thank you!
It’s all about the morning routine. Tony Robins wakes up, springs out of bed, eats some raw eggs, runs a 2400 mile marathon, authors a book, invents a new method of space travel, saves 11 lives through the power of positivity, loves a bunny rabbit, cures AIDS, evolves into a being of pure energy, then gets a shower and prepares to greet tree day.
I know this Greek dude at my work lol what a big walking question mark. Head is like 3 miles tilted forward & with his rest of the lower body living in another country . Dude, your teeth are so clean
Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn’t that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you.
Clinton,..wow,…If you talked that cunt into running for office i hate you,…If you told Bill its ok to have fat interns spread thier legs for a cigar,..thats just,……..great.
and it feels like a hell of a stretch in my lower back which I know is very tight and it feels like I can’t sit into my hips all the way. I have lower back spasms and I know it’s long and weak i just hope foundation training is safe to do.
My favourite chest stretch is clasping both hands together behind my back (roughly mid back) then pushing them down towards my heals. It naturally pushes the chest out, rolls the shoulders back and gets rid of the slouch in one movement.
Bit late with this, but you’re exactly what I’d imagine chris klein (oz from american pie) and fernando torres to look like if mixed together!
By which month we should start exercising post pregnancy so that my stiches should not gives pain. Plz reply. I want to improve my posture.
