Body Wizard: This is the only exercise you should do if you spend many hours at a desk every day
- The Body Wizard shares simple daily exercises
- Claims to correct bad posture from working at a desk
Dubbed the “Body Magician”, a “body magician” has revealed a simple exercise that people with desk jobs can do after sitting in front of a computer or driving all day.
Bruce Scott, from Sydney, said the wooden cane is an “essential” piece of equipment for office workers as it can be used to realign the shoulders, open the chest and counter poor posture.
“Blow for a buck, this technology is the most effective and time-effective remedy for prolonged computer or drive time,” he said.
The movement coach uses the stick and asks people to hold the stick behind their back and push forward as if they are trying to break it in half.
Bruce said you don’t have to worry about straightening yourself while working at a desk because it’s the “normal situation” when your mind is “on” what’s on your computer.

There is nothing wrong with the situation, own it, accept it, this is the best position to accomplish this. When you get out of it, use a counter position to reset it.
The long stick made of sturdy wood, he said, is “the best piece of re-setting equipment” for Shoulders “by far”.
in video Posting on his social media channels, Bruce said he grabs the stick behind the back and tries to get it in line with the elbow.
“For some people, you just won’t be able to get it — that’s already a diagnosis that your shoulder girdle is asymmetrical,[it]needs and deserves to be restored,” he said.

Then Bruce instructed the viewers to push forward with the hands and push back “as hard as you can” with the back.
“I’m literally trying to break the stick on my back as hard as I can for a count of about ten and you’re putting in 100 percent effort,” he explained.
He then releases slowly, bringing the stick back above his head forward and ‘resetting’ it before going for a second round.
Bruce recommended doing one round of exercise for every hour sitting at the computer or driving.

“From there, you can do as many rounds as you want, but you also play with the prospect of putting your hands up front and trying to push the stick down toward the ground,” said Bruce.
“Note that my tailbone stays tucked under my light working until my spine is straight and then I try to break the cane. ”
in follow sectionBruce explained that the slumped posture in which many office workers sit during the day is “normal”.
“If you work at a computer,” he said, imitating a slouched posture, “sitting in front of the computer and immersed in your work will push you into that posture.”
Instead of trying to correct your posture all day, he said, he should make his simple motion to “reset” your alignment.
“I want to remind my shoulder blades that this is the position, and this is where they want to be,” he said of the exercise.
