    I am a 73-year-old man, diagnosed with Parkinson 10 years ago (fortunately I don’t have the shakes, just have problems with balance, coordination, posture and walking). I watch all the videos you put out and I was struck by this one ”fix bad posture in 22 days“ because my posture was terrible.
    I did all the tests and failed every one, so I thought I’d have a go at it. I started on 1 September and finished on 22nd September so that I could remember which day I was on. I went for it in earnest doing all the stretches and exercises alternatively on all the days. Instead of it getting easier over the days some of them actually got harder, I think it was the accumulation affect. I retested on the 22nd day and I’m pleased to say just about past everything except for push-ups for the tight ABS . I’ll put that down to not having a pull up bar or a large ball. So I will continue with that exercise using the push-up test as the stretch and Superman the opposite exercise. My neck is now only slightly forward so I will continue with the elbows on bench stretches and the face-pulls for another two weeks.
    Thanks very much Jeff, this proves that you know what you’re talking about. My posture is now fantastic compared to 22 days ago.
    Do you think you can do another similar video on how to MAINTAIN a good posture once achieved?

      A big bravo to you sir. Ur an example for each and every one of us. How to maintain a good posture? Thats easy. Watch this video again and strengthen those muscles. After stretching them out you gotta strengthen them as well. In my case, Im 35 had a terrible posture and I've been working on this since the video release and still got some things to ameliorate. I can foresee that it gonna take me more than 6 months, especially this damn arch in the back, when doing the Thomas-test. The results though are amazing by now. Im damn straight . Never been better in my whole life. It doesn't take only 22 days. What takes 22 days is the introduction of a new habit in somebody's life. Its like "Im gonna show you the ropes, but you gotta continue alone after the introduction period" (=22 days). Good luck. The key is consistency. Period. Only this matters.

    I’ve just completed this 22 day plan to better posture. On Day 1, I failed 4 tests and proceeded through the plan as prescribed. On Day 22, 3 of the 4 failed tests are now passes. The remaining test saw a noticeable progress to the standard. I think it’ll take more than 22 days to fix this one that has been this way for 30 years.
    Jeff, if you happen to read this I wanted to say thank you for not only this video and the wonderful content, but also for all that you continue to do.

    Great work men, thanks. Went from a pro athlete, surfer, to being hit by a car on my pushbike, spiral fracture lower left leg, 200 degree rotation, not cool, and spending my time on the lounge playing sony. After coming across your vids around six months ago I have gotten rid of my headaches, sore neck and back and just generally feel like i might actually get back to some kind of normal again. I went surfing again last weekend. Only stood up on 3 waves, but hell its 3 more than i thought I would be catching by now or ever. So thanks for the inspiration to keep living as i can get back to normal with your help.

    This is the most serious Jesse I’ve ever seen!
    ----
    I tried Jeff’s 22-day home ab workout last month, and it worked really well. Although I had to reduce the load of some of the exercises because of congenital lower back and tailbone issues, the result was still visible and rewarding.
    Doing the home ab workout, I took 10+ days off because of laziness/weariness/both. As an external motivation for consistency, I’ll follow this workout plan and update my progress here.
    ----
    I guess @Jakub Pluhař decided to follow the plan until Oct 13th because he would like to complete two cycles. Serendipitously, Oct 13th happens to be my birthday! See you all on that day!
    ----
    Updates:
    ✅Day 1, test & stretch:
    Passed the calf test, passed the thoracic spine test on the second try, and failed the rest. But I will still do face pulls, because they are face pulls. (Is that straight-back hinging toe-touch really possible?)
    The hamstring wall stretch and the lunge-and-reach stretch (for hip flexors) killed me, LOL. Noticed that my right hip flexors are tighter--probably due to poor sitting/leg-crossing habits--so I stretched them more. Tried combining pretzel stretch with static abs contraction, felt nice.
    ✅Day 2, strengthen:
    Tried door frame face fulls because I’m in a quarantine: felt a lot better when performed slowly. Tried to close my eyes for the high hip lifts (balance challenge, LOL): standing on my right leg is much harder probably because of flat foot and a weaker knee. Left hamstrings compensated too much during glute bridge heel taps, a sign of tightness/weakness.
    ✅Day 3, stretch:
    Entered a love-hate relationship with all three lower-body stretches.
    Physio ball stretch did not work well with the edge of the bed; it felt more like a reverse spine stretch.
    ✅Day 4, strengthen:
    Transferred to a quarantine hotel that has a bar in the room! Can do bow stretch and pull-ups/other grip exercises now.
    Discovered that consciously pressing the foot forward can prevent hamstrings compensation. (glute bridge heel taps)
    ✅Day 5, stretch:
    The bar in the room is very low, which makes the bow stretch difficult. (training grip strength and forearms at the same time)
    ✅Day 6, strengthen:
    Tried 3 facepull variations; fun!
    Left hamstrings almost cramped, had to took a long rest before doing the 3rd set of heel taps.
    ✅Day 7, stretch:
    The tight hip flexors feel better now
    (Sorry I forgot to update)
    ✅Day 8, strengthen:
    2 face pull variations, couldn’t finish because left shoulder felt pain.
    Superman’s felt easy, added 2 sets of 1.5 kg/3.33lbs water bottle reverse hyper.
    ✅Day 9, stretch.
    ❎Got busy and lazy, took a long rest:
    Posture related work: learned to juggle and realized it’s great for posture! It forces you to look UP all the time. Refurbished the room (including a standing desk, a pull-up bar, and a pair of rings)
    ✅Day 10 (after a long rest), strengthen:
    Last set of high hip lifts: eyes closed, hands over the head.
    ✅Day 11, stretch:
    BOOM! Became very tight again after a long period of idleness.
    ✅Day 12, strengthen:
    Doorframe face pulls felt better when performed vertically, because shoulders could lock better.
    Knee pain in hip lifts; tailbone pain in glute presses.
    ✅Day 13, stretch.
    ✅Day 14, strengthen.
    ✅Day 15, stretch:
    Tried t-spine stretch using rings: too much pressure on shoulders.
    To improve hamstring wall stretch: butt down+body in (closer to the wall).
    Bow stretch with pull-up bar: grip strength training.
    Lunge stretches felt great with a little bit of rotation.
    ✅Day 16, strengthen:
    Tried band face pulls. Awesome!
    Prevent knee pain during hip lifts: externally rotate the knees a little bit.
    ✅Day 17, stretch:
    Significant mobility and flexibility improvements!
    ✅Day 18, strengthen:
    Tried band face pull variations: different types of bands, different positions/angles including lying on the floor. AWESOME! They beat doorframe face pulls in nearly every way!
    The lower body exercises became easy. Have to think of ways to improve.
    ✅Day 19, stretch:
    Flexibility improvements are real!
    ✅Day 20, strengthen:
    Coming back tomorrow but can’t wait to do face pulls!

    Thank you Jeff for all this good stuff.
    Been doing exercises from other posture videos as well. It helped me massively. Working in IT and stitting for hours on end it helpes massively with not just posture, but pain as well.

    I used to work in the robot factory that built Jeff. As well as being a complete ergonomic lifting machine he was also programmed to speak 47 languages some of which are computer binary.
