Now that we've set the stage, do you have an idea of what a horse stance is? It is the fundamental stance in both ba gua zhang and all Chinese martial arts. And in fitness, it’s pretty much an isometric exercise. In this position, the feet are placed shoulder-width apart, parallel, and flat on the ground. The body weight is evenly distributed, with fifty percent on each foot.

Take a look at this picture so that you’ll get a clearer view. As you can see, it’s looks like the position on how people sit on horses, right? Well, that’s exactly why it’s called the horse stance.

So, what’s so special about this stance? And more importantly, why is it transforming the body?

I heard one fitness instructor say don't worry about the width or foot direction of your stance, or straight back in the beginning. Work on getting more upright and all the rest slowly. Hearing that took a load off my mind. I'm such a silly man sometimes. I started doing it a lot more. And improving!

Ah, the horse stance, a classic isometric exercise. While it certainly has its benefits, it may not be the most effective method for building a muscular physique. Isometric exercises primarily focus on static muscle contractions, which can help improve muscular endurance and stability. However, to build a muscular physique, incorporating dynamic exercises that target specific muscle groups through a full range of motion is generally more effective.

To maximize muscle growth, it is important to engage in resistance training that includes exercises such as weightlifting, bodyweight exercises, or resistance band workouts. These exercises create tension in the muscles, leading to muscle fiber breakdown and subsequent growth during the recovery phase. Additionally, a well-rounded training program should include a balanced combination of strength training, cardiovascular exercise, and proper nutrition to support muscle development.

Remember, the key to building a muscular physique lies in progressive overload, where you gradually increase the intensity and volume of your workouts over time. This allows your muscles to adapt and grow stronger. So while the horse stance can contribute to overall strength and stability, it may be more effective to incorporate a variety of exercises that target specific muscle groups for optimal muscle development.

The trick is to concentrate. If you cant channel your energy mentally then you will not be able to increase your stance.

Almost the first thing he says is that the feet are ~shoulder-width apart while showing a picture of a guy standing with his feet apart at least twice that. 😞

Try the Kenpo horse stance. I think it’s better for your knees. You’re not using your knees as a prop.
In China standing in a Horse Stance is called Standing on Stake. It is a type of qigong.
In China they hold this Stance for hours.

it's a very difficult stance, not as easy as it looks, nobody can do it properly without a real master supervision. despite its basic look it's full of very important details, you can't just go for it. To me, horse stance is like a religion, but I wouldn't advise to try it at home. A lot of pain is involved in the horse stance and you don't want to experience any pain while training without supervision.
