I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my left hip. I was absolutely distraught about it. I came across your videos and I am floored by how you calmed my nerves. I have faith that I can manage it now because of your guidance. I am learning so much in general about every area of body health and maintenance. I told my mom about you guys! And seeing Bob going strong and the incredible chemistry and support between the two of you is outstanding. I am inspired by the energy and love you give to each other and to your audience. Thank you and Blessings to you both!🙂🙏

I think the advice here would be MUCH more appropriate if instead of STOP AND DONT DO, the advice was “stop, regress to a safe variation, and gradually progress to harder variations. “

The osteopenia and osteoporosis warning they threw in there was also bizarre given that the natural and reliable way to improve bone density is strength training. Perhaps simply saying: “be very careful and use all the assistance you need to avoid a fall” would’ve been more empowering. As stated, you’ve just told everyone who encounters difficulty to stop and give up attempting to achieve a perfectly normal human position that elderly all over the world can achieve. A bit of the Physically Feeble Fallacy happening here.

Bob and Brad thank you for keeping the the great information coming even with your own difficulties.

[joemikolic]

You two have (and continue to) add so many pearls of physical of wisdom for me. You never cease to amaze. I’m sure I can’t begin to imagine the considerable effort you (and your production staff) put into your videos which are consistently informative and fun at the same time. Thank you both!

After your assistance in healing from the two spinal fractures, kyphoplasty, I began training on the Asian squat. I threw both sides of my back out, again thanks to you, I healed and continued the exercises to do in bed prior to waking that helped heal my fractures (all on my back) Now almost two years in, I can lay in bed with my knee on my nose and lift my leg parallel to my head, it's amazing...This has also assisted in being able to do a proper squat that allows me to be down (shifting food in the cooler, cleaning, I work as a chef!) and not harm myself. The bed exercises strengthen my knees, hips, and hip rotators, hamstrings and quads. All with just 30 reps per AM before getting out of bed! You guys are amazing and absolutely right! If your body is not fit, via a strong flexibility range, you can seriously hurt yourself! *I was told most folks that throw out one side of their back are out of it for months..I threw both sides out and stayed in the game (electronic stimulation at work helped to ease the pain)

Great to see Bob continue doing what he does best - making Brad look good! Keep it up gents!

[DanielWoolfolk]

This squat has helped alleviate my foot pain, especially if I do a heels-up variation. I do that version morning and night leaning against the couch. I can do the proper squat for longer periods now as well and it really gets my calves. The only problem is that I feel a lot of pressure on the front of my ankles, but I think that's betting better. And I hadn't seen the channel in a while. Bob, I'm wishing you the best!

Love seeing Bob keeping on. You are both so very helpful, and Bob thanks for still showing up - we all appreciate you being you.

[campgoals]

I just came across this video through YT recommendeds and as an asian, this is the first time I hear that people are actually using it as a "squat" exercise. Listen to them though and listen to your body. Asians can do this because it is basically not an exercise for us. If we want to sit and theres no seats? We go into this position a lot. Great video!

[crystalriver]

Great information and prayers for Bob for healing🙏

[vallee]

good to see Bob with you, nobody does it better.

You guys have really help me as an aging endurance athlete. I'm 69 - will be 70 in December. We are all go though new phases and challenges in our life - and even at 69 it is new and unchartered experience. I especially recognize the value of a "family" (relatives and friends) being there as one faces a challenge. My family has enabled me to face these challenges and exceed the limits I see in myself.
