to see if you can do these simple exercises. are you doing them correctly? if not, figure out how to do it. first one i'm going to do, i demonstrated this an hour ago. it's called the popcorn pushup. plank position. hands under your shoulders. you go down. grab a piece of popcorn with your mouth. the whole point of that is when you do a real pushup, you have to get down low. >> billy works o as you know i'm not a fan of working out. >> do you want to do it on your knees? >> i'll do it the regular way. my point is for people at home you don't have to be buff and working out. >> start out being able to do ten pushups without practicing. >> okay. >> i spit on you. >> popcorn flying there. >> let's do this. all right. in a plank first. excellent. you'll go all of the way down and try to grab a piece of popcorn with your mouth and back

we have to go to the next one. >> that's it? >> straighten it up. one more. >> how many you got, billy bush? >> one more. >> this is your moment. >> i can't do it. >> next one is simple. it's more difficult than it looks. it's balance. as we get goes. it means falls as you get older. >> you didn't fall. you fell on purpose. you know you can do this. >> awesome. wonderful. all kinds of activities for balance you want to do. billy is having trouble. >> i think the key is you have to go back. you can't just think about it. you have to go. maybe that's better. >> he's showing off. >> this is actually really

blowing up a balloon is definitely a measure of your lung capacity. that means how deeply you can take a deep breath in and how well you get oxygen into your muscles which helps in an aerobic workout. don't stretch it. that's cheating. blow up balloons every day like 10 to 15 times and increases lung capacity like aerobic exercise does. you can blow it up. let it deflate. blow it up. >> so birthday clowns probably have -- >> blow it up. guess what? if you get dizzy or light-headed doing this a number of times means that your aerobic capacity is not that high. >> you can do multiple. you're showing off. >> it's going to pop. >> last thing is a karate kick.

the point is can you get your hip above your waist. >> that's pretty impressive. >> thank you. >> very nice. very nice. very nice. >> i should have done that pie. >> let's get back to it. >> the thing is that you actually really want to maintain hip flexibility as you get older. >> show us the right way. front particular you do that and then side kick is that way. >> being able to touch your toes on the floor? >> that's a huge one. do it without bending your knees. >> wait. he's there. >> all right! >> excellent. >> it's all about strength and flexibility as we get older. it's so important. posture and low back pain is all connected. if you can't do these simple

keeping focus in the midst of all of this. thank you. we'll be back in a moment.

but how did we end up here? his mom thought he had the flu and that he was covered by the meningococcal meningitis vaccine he had received. until 2014 there were no vaccines for meningitis b in the u.s. now there are. while uncommon, meningitis b can lead to death within 24 hours. trumenba is a vaccine for 10 through 25 year olds to help prevent group b meningococcal disease. trumenba should not be given if you had a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose. most common side effects were injection-site pain, fatigue... headache, muscle pain, and chills. ask your doctor or pharmacist about all the risks and benefits of trumenba and tell them if you've received any other meningitis b vaccines. meningitis b can be spread by typical sharing like... a drink... a spoon... a kiss. it all started here... it might have been prevented with trumenba.
