Speaker 1: How long can I do? What?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: It's one more thing.
Speaker 2: I'm strong andy.
Speaker 1: One more thing. I'm a regular at the gym. My
Speaker 1: son and I are. We go almost every day, rarely
Speaker 1: miss a day at the gym. Came with the uh
Speaker 1: place I rent. We're in a neighborhood where they got
Speaker 1: a private club attached, and so we have a gym
Speaker 1: membership and we can walk to it and it's about
Speaker 1: a half mile each way, so it's great, get a
Speaker 1: mile walk in, lift some weights, et cetera. I've noticed
Speaker 1: all the young women they don't do a lot of
Speaker 1: lifting weights or anything like that. They do all these
Speaker 1: various kind of floor exercise stuff mostly lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of big right now. Yeah, it is, yeah,
Speaker 2: because there are workouts you can do at home if
Speaker 2: you don't have equipment.
Speaker 1: Right. Well, I've been saying forever just to like save
Speaker 1: you time and money. If you're thinking of buying a
Speaker 1: home gym or a membership at a club or whatever,
Speaker 1: how about you try your floor. See if you can
Speaker 1: use your floor every day for two weeks. And if
Speaker 1: you can't, he ain't gonna do better with the gym
Speaker 1: for the home gym equipment. If you can't do push
Speaker 1: up sit ups. We're about to talk about planks, which
Speaker 1: I've never done before, or any of that stuff. It's
Speaker 1: just because it's really easy to fool yourself and think
Speaker 1: if I had the equipment, I would do it, or
Speaker 1: if I had the gym membership. But it's the doing
Speaker 1: it is the hard part. Anyway. I'm pretty regular and
Speaker 1: I mostly lift weights, but I feel like I should
Speaker 1: do some of this other stuff starting with I need
Speaker 1: to do some exercises for my buttocks. I want to
Speaker 1: improve my buttocks. Yes, Michael squats, glut bridges, glute bridges.
Speaker 1: I've heard that every time I google what you should
Speaker 1: do for your buttocks, it says glut bridges. Explain that
Speaker 1: what's a glut bridge?
Speaker 2: Lay on the floor on your back.
Speaker 1: Another floor exercise, don't need equipment.
Speaker 2: No equipment needed, Feed on the ground flat and knees bent.
Speaker 2: Then yeah, thrust your pelvis straight to the sky over
Speaker 2: and over again and eventually it's going to hurt.
Speaker 1: And you just like do it as many times as
Speaker 1: you can or.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it depends. I mean, you can add weight.
Speaker 2: You can put you know, a dumbbell across your hips
Speaker 2: and make it a weighted you know, so do you bridge?
Speaker 1: Do you understand this concept of activating your glutes? Okay?
Speaker 1: What is that all about? I there's this actually he's
Speaker 1: actually a comedian, but he's got a YouTube channel and
Speaker 1: he was talking about the activating your glutes and how
Speaker 1: difficult that is, and if you don't activate your glutes
Speaker 1: during an exercise, you're not going to increase them. And
Speaker 1: it's how do you know if you've activated your glutes?
Speaker 1: What the hell does that even mean?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it's just by you activate them by
Speaker 2: working out that particular muscle, Okay, So you would do
Speaker 2: certain things that that pinpoint that particular muscle, because when
Speaker 2: you have to use that muscle, you activate.
Speaker 1: That muschle, like glute bridges okay.
Speaker 2: Or lunges. Those are so fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then I wanted to get to planks because
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I want to try one. So I hear
Speaker 1: about planks a lot. My son has had to do
Speaker 1: them in school. Both my kids have dead do school
Speaker 1: football practice that sort of stuff. I've heard the term
Speaker 1: and I've never actually done one. I see all the
Speaker 1: young people the gym doing all the time. So for
Speaker 1: anybody who doesn't know, and I'm probably the only one
Speaker 1: that didn't. You start face down on the floor. You
Speaker 1: kind of look like you're gonna do a push up.
Speaker 1: You place your fore arms flat, elbows right under your shoulder,
Speaker 1: arms shoulder with the part. Then you engage your abs,
Speaker 1: then push up on your forearms, so it's like you're
Speaker 1: at the top of a push up, except you're on
Speaker 1: your elbows and forearms instead of your hands. Right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then you hold.
Speaker 2: It and you hold it and it is not a
Speaker 2: good time.
Speaker 1: Keep hips and stomach lifted so your body forms one
Speaker 1: straight line from ed deals again, it's like doing a
Speaker 1: proper push up at the top. Yeah, tighten your core,
Speaker 1: glutes and legs for stability. Breathe slow and steady, keep
Speaker 1: your neck neutral, have a heart attack, nearly die. Oh
Speaker 1: that's my part that I threw in. Ah uh, eyes
Speaker 1: slightly down. I don't know. I have to keep my
Speaker 1: eyes slightly down well.
Speaker 2: Because they don't want you bringing your head up, and
Speaker 2: because I can mess with your neck.
Speaker 1: Okay, And then I have the how long you should
Speaker 1: be able to do it at each age?
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm interested in.
Speaker 1: This, which is not very long. Now, this works your core,
Speaker 1: which is I don't know everything from your knees to
Speaker 1: your chest.
Speaker 2: I guess yeah, and you know some you know how
Speaker 2: there are different types of like targeting sit ups, so
Speaker 2: you can do like a certain crunch to work your
Speaker 2: lower abs or your you know, a different type of class.
Speaker 1: I just don't know that, but I believe you.
Speaker 2: Okay, well you're yeah, there are different sit ups to
Speaker 2: work different portions of your abs. Doing a plank handles
Speaker 2: all of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it says it works thirty five different muscle groups,
Speaker 1: which is why it's such a popular exercise. Yeah, thirty
Speaker 1: five muscle groups one exercise including all kinds of different abs,
Speaker 1: lower back, hips, glutes, diaphragm, pelvic floor. Oh, my pelvic
Speaker 1: floor is spectacular. Oh, I'm sure you know. Uh, and
Speaker 1: planks work them all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, are you gonna do one?
Speaker 1: I'm going to, but I want to get to the
Speaker 1: how long?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: Just recently, a one hundred year old Long Island woman
Speaker 1: made headlines by holding a five minute plank. Five minute
Speaker 1: plank for one hundred year old woman of couse, she
Speaker 1: probably weighs sixty pounds. She's made of dust. I mean,
Speaker 1: what does she weigh? A six month old in Kentucky
Speaker 1: melted hearts online by holding a plank for thirty four seconds.
Speaker 2: Oh that baby didn't know what it was doing, so
Speaker 2: that's gonna shut up.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure the six month old knew what they
Speaker 1: were doing.
Speaker 2: That's six month old looking at a timer, begging for
Speaker 2: life not to end before its eyes. No, it doesn't
Speaker 2: have any idea how hard this is. Later on, what
Speaker 2: do you shoot for in terms of a length for
Speaker 2: a plank? Just as long as you can, Just as
Speaker 2: long as I can. I know, I know I can
Speaker 2: hold it for longer than a minute.
Speaker 3: I know that.
Speaker 1: But do you do a Michael?
Speaker 4: No, No, I'm been afraid to.
Speaker 1: You've been afraid to do a plank? What are you
Speaker 1: afraid it's going to happen?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's just a pain.
Speaker 4: I gotta get you know, I do weights, but I
Speaker 4: don't do anything for my stomach. I gotta get the
Speaker 4: stomach exercises going.
Speaker 2: Both of you need to plank during this podcast.
Speaker 1: My biggest concern is that I'm going to flatulate.
Speaker 2: It'll be great for the podcast.
Speaker 1: So in your twenties, you should be able to do
Speaker 1: a one to two minute plank. Okay, in your thirties. Uh,
Speaker 1: keep that one to two minute going, but it's gonna
Speaker 1: get harder then in your forties. Forties, one minute plank
Speaker 1: is fine. In your fifties, shoot for a thirty to
Speaker 1: sixty second plank, so it drops quite a bit in
Speaker 1: your fifties, and then in your sixties and above. Try
Speaker 1: to hold a plank for twenty to thirty seconds.
Speaker 2: Okay, you could, you can do thirty seconds.
Speaker 1: Uh, I would consider I'm gonna consider myself in my
Speaker 1: fifties because I've only been in my sixties for like
Speaker 1: sixty days.
Speaker 2: You could do it in a minute. You're you're fit,
Speaker 2: so that means it's thirty to.
Speaker 1: Sixty Yeah, okay, So I gotta take up my suit,
Speaker 1: so you're gonna have to time Michael.
Speaker 4: Okay, should I come in there or no?
Speaker 2: Michael? Yeah, uh huh, you have to do it as well.
Speaker 2: I will time.
Speaker 1: Well, you can't see us from where you're sitting, though
Speaker 1: Hanson can see us. Hanson, will you do the counting, Michael?
Speaker 1: Why don't you come in here and we'll both do
Speaker 1: them at the same time.
Speaker 2: This is exciting.
Speaker 1: This is exciting.
Speaker 2: So Hanson can play by play.
Speaker 1: Hanson's videoing it too, so this will be I'll be fantastic.
Speaker 2: You'll have to give us the exact moment when Jack's
Speaker 2: entire body starts to shake.
Speaker 1: I wish I wasn't wearing dress shoes. I feel like
Speaker 1: that's gonna make it harder because sloppy.
Speaker 2: Yes, no excuses, come on, Jim Man. Oh this is great.
Speaker 1: Taking this very seriously.

Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I started feeling it a little bit
Speaker 4: my lower back, and that's what started really concerning me.
Speaker 2: Your core wasn't engaged, Michael.
Speaker 4: Okay, my stomach. I felt in my stomach, but I
Speaker 4: started to feel it at the in there in my
Speaker 4: lower back. That's right.
Speaker 1: According to this article, and you just turned fifty, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: in your fifties and you're barely fifty, you should do
Speaker 1: thirty to sixty In forties, it should be a minute
Speaker 1: or longer, but you easily did that. Yeah. So it
Speaker 1: says in your twenties you should do one to two minutes.
Speaker 1: So we're as good as not fit twenty people, twenty
Speaker 1: year olds. Yeah, oh my god, I'm tired though. My
Speaker 1: arms are burning.
Speaker 2: Yeeze.
Speaker 1: I do arm exercises every day, and this was harder
Speaker 1: than that.
Speaker 2: My favorite line from my trainer Anita, if it burns,
Speaker 2: it grows.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I like that. I love that. Yes, that
Speaker 1: is another great example of do this and push ups
Speaker 1: or sit ups or whatever. And if you can do
Speaker 1: that on a regular basis, yeah, maybe get a gym membership.
Speaker 1: But if you if you're not to do this routinely
Speaker 1: talking to myself here too. If I'm not gonna do
Speaker 1: this stuff routinely, I'm a gym's not gonna help, right. Yeah.
Speaker 2: If it's that easy to do, you can drop and
Speaker 2: do it right.
Speaker 1: Here, right yeah. Or buying the right gear, that's another one.
Speaker 1: If I get the right shorts and matching shoes and
Speaker 1: really cool shirts, you know whatever. Anyway, Okay, that's enough
Speaker 1: of that.
Speaker 4: Oh and I think Marshall couldn't even do one push.
Speaker 1: Up our old news guy Mark for that. You weren't
Speaker 1: here for that, Katie, obviously, so our old guy news
Speaker 1: guy Marshall, who was actually old. His new year's resolution
Speaker 1: was to do ten push ups, okay, by the end
Speaker 1: of the year. And we all dropped down and did
Speaker 1: as many push ups as we could. I think Joe
Speaker 1: and I did like twenty or something like that. But
Speaker 1: he was going to try to do ten push ups
Speaker 1: by the end of the year. And what was the
Speaker 1: furthest he ever made?
Speaker 4: I think it was two and a half.
Speaker 1: I mean, poor old guy, and he ended up in
Speaker 1: the hospital. Guys he actually owned, which I don't think
Speaker 1: the company or our boss was happy about. He pulled
Speaker 1: something or what.
Speaker 2: I don't want to wonderful things about.
Speaker 1: Marshall's great guy, but he really overshot thinking he was
Speaker 1: ever going to do pushups. Never close.
Speaker 2: It's not something you need to do, Mark, So.
Speaker 1: Like the early going, it would be okay, there's kind
Speaker 1: of one, then that's it exactly.
Speaker 4: Well, at least we didn't make him do hurdles.
Speaker 1: Well, I guess that's it.
