He recommends that everyone do simple abdominal bracing throughout the day. You hold in your stomach muscles for 5 to 10 seconds about three times an hour, breathing as you do it.

Could I possibly spare 15 to 30 seconds an hour to perform this task?

I do it while driving around town. It makes a difference in my tailbone area as well. The key is to not only suck in and hold the top part of your abs, but to make sure that you suck in and hold the lower abs as well, thinking of it moving the abs all the way to the spine. Try it that way!
