We all could use some tummy time.

Kelly Ripa admitted on Friday’s Live with Kelly and Mark that she did “something that I caution everyone in this audience all the time not to do.”

“I slept in front of the computer in bed watching Netflix,” she shared. “Did you ever just sleep funny? I slept funny. Now every time Mark [Consuelos] touches me, he re-aggravates it.”

Consuelos assured Ripa that “it’s going to unlock” soon, and offered up another potential solution.

“Do you know how when the kids were babies, the pediatrician always told us to give the kids an abundance of tummy time,” he asked Ripa. “It’s good to make ’em strong, their neck.”

Ripa quipped, “Is that wrong now? Did we ruin their lives?”

It turns out that “adult tummy time is a thing,” as Consuelos read that “because we’re so hunched over” on our devices that “good exercises” can help keep us our posture in check.

Ripa insisted, “I do do that.”

Consuelos replied, “But do more of it.”

Rolling her eyes, Ripa teased, “This man.”

Consuelos continued reading that “some research estimates that 73% of university students” and “nearly 65% of people who work from home or have neck pain with laptops and cellphones as top contributors to this issue.”

Ripa chimed in, “I fell asleep once watching Netflix. I need tummy time from one time watching Netflix?”

As Consuelos read, “it’s being used to help reverse forehead and rounded shoulders posture, [and] to address upper-back tightness.”

“When doing tummy time, some people might casually lie on their stomachs, while others may treat it more as a pose like yoga or pilates,” he added. “Like the sphinx, the cobra, the swan, swimming.”

After Ripa and Consuelos asked Live EP Michael Gelman what the Swan pose looks like — and he would later perform it on the air — Consuelos insisted with a slight smirk that Ripa “need[s] some tummy time today.” And Ripa knew the best way to close out of the segment.

“Don’t get any ideas,” she slyly teased while shaking her head.
