Why criticize someone for something they can not change, like their voice. I miss Bob but am thankful Mike is there to help continue with these great videos. Just don't watch if you don't like presentation.
@@pedro33226I'm sorry, but I can't remember the disease that he has, but it effects his speaking. I have seen him do a couple since he got the disease and he seems to be doing well. I try to watch even more than I did bc it really is great to see him. I've seen all 3 of them on one or two as well❣ Love you all, Guys!!
I really like Mike and his addition to the instructions and lightheartedness too. Of course Bob is in our prayers. Thanks very much. You have been helpful in many ways.
This is awesome. Thank you for this. I'll add this to my routine. I'm 44 year old jiujitsu practitioner for 16 years. This is great for my off the mat training routine .
Brad, Wishing You, Bob And Mike A Most Wonderful, Beautiful, Healthy And Prosperous New Year!! ... Appreciate This Fantastic Video! ... These Are Amazing Exercises To Perform!! ... We Need These More And More As We Age Beautifully!! .. Thank You So Much!! ... CC 🥰❤❤
Brad, on your comment at the end about regular squatting with toes facing out: I was always taught to keep toes forward while squatting ~ is that incorrect? I just tried them your way, and it feels better! If you haven't done so already, can you do a video on regular squats? Thanks for all you do! ❤
This is a great exercise for building leg strength. When was a kid I would hold a squat position for as long as possible and I built up quite a bit of strength that way.
I have never understood breathing IN through your nose and breathing OUT through your mouth... What are the BENEFITS Please? Thank You For Your Valuable Videos. Healthy New Year to the Three of You...
It is just controlling your breathing, being conscious of it with control helps you relax, think better, fatigue less, and better balance. there is more to it, we have some videos dedicated to breathing styles. I wish you well. Brad
Off topic but, today Jan 1st just wanted to say Thank you guys! Had a back problem I thought was the end of me. Went through your back exercises and was healed. Also just came across your hip exercises and martial arts manual. Thanks Guys!
Great information and content. Blessings to all and been a fan for many years just have been away for quite a while. Last ones were about a yr ago and just noticed Bob not here for this one, i was here when obvious signs of his illness, im hoping the best and really pray not the worst. Again thank you for continuing on this great content information.
Shallow knee bends on the postural axis anterior posterior and lateral weight shifting..... and open chain gluteus medius......... at the kitchen sink with a chair for rests is where I typically set people up for Home Care sessions
I spent 30 years in the Kempo system. I believe there are variations in what is called a horse stance across systems. We would tilt the pelvis under (flatten the back) which it doesn't look like you are doing. I can't do the pelvis-under variation due to possible arthritis in the right hip. I don't recall what the point of the pelvis under position was, but it looks like I can still get benefit from the more relaxed pelvis position, so maybe I'll bring that back into my routine. Thanks!
YES! That does work. Whenever I feel like I'm losing my balance I do that exercise with crab-walking side to side maintaining the stance. In minutes I feel stronger and steady for days! I learned it from an Asian trainer using Tia Chi.
Happy New Year, Bob and Brad and the crew. Stop me, if you have already made this video. I need to work on my upper body strength. Currently, I can barely lift 15 pounds (same weight as my dog). Keep up the awesome work. And, take care. \o
Ya but… horse stance is different than plié’ which has the toes point in the same direction as the knees. Doesn’t the horse stance put the knees at risk?
Question on depth -- Is it better to go deeper? I can achieve a similar position to what you are showing (and feel a good burn in the quads)....but tutorials from other channels say to go much deeper.....something which is very uncomfortable for me, and I think even unattainable at my age and flexibility limitations.
I'm very athletic and play sports and I'm very competitive but the only thing I hate doing is the horse stance...I find it very uncomfortable even though I can do a minute in the horstance position....my body doesn't feel comfortable doing barbell squats either.
From couple of years, I am feeling weakness in my legs. My leg muscle has reduced. Many times, when I have to bow down, I feel heavy strain on my legs. I am 50 years now. Can you suggest some exercise so that I again gain muscles and strength to my legs?
I have had osteo arthritis of the left knee for about 15 years, and for the most part, the more I walk, do stairs, squats and the horse stance I never have any issues. Occasionally I will start to feel discomfort, and then I take turmeric and black pepper mixed in water for a few days and it clears up. I realize this will not work for everyone but it is worth trying.
This is gold to my ears and eyes. Decades ago (literally, I am quite a bit older than Brad and Bob) I studied kung fu and learned the horse stance. Gradually most of that training faded. And this, now!! Thank you. I am restarting this part of my daily regimen in a few minutes. Thank you. Thank you
I appreciate the reminder of martial arts moves. I haven't done horse stance in a long time, since finishing with tai Kwan do a few years ago. Awesome leg strengthener. Thanks.
My dad and I really need to see this I have been trying to speak to my dad about watching your videos, he is letting his muscle mass go we have been trying to encourage him to work out. For myself I have had several surgeries in my right leg and the muscle hurts me and it doesn’t feel right….I cried yesterday for my dad because I know this would help him overcome diabetes, he doesn’t smoke or drink he has always been a good man, I am so stressed about this, please God helps this situation
Where does the hip hinge come into this exercise? Hip hinge before a squat transfers weight to glutes, hamstrings, then quads knees. Is the horse stance too anterior loaded?
@@BobandBrad Actually, my comment was meant for the Getting rid of Arm flab wirh dumbells or weights that Julie demonstrated. Not sure how my comment ended up on this Stronger Legs one...hahaha 😆
Look at the American Heart Association videos with Leslie .It’s fun and their are A lot of variations of knee movements during it. Loosen up your joints in a gentle manner then try this stance. 10-15 minutes.Walk at Home is the title😊
From this video what do you recommend for an Overweight (238lbs) 5'11", Octogenarian with CHF with some knee and hip issues (not major)? Also what would you suggest to handle or treat or just cope with with lower back problems. I can't do any work in my shop (or house work) for more than 5 minutes without sitting down for 15 or 20 minutes before I can resume making stuff?
Happy 2024. Thank you for all the videos, advice, and caring you've provided over the years. I have a question about this exercise, I tried it and it puts some seriously heavy strain on my knee ( meniscus root tear, extrusion repair surgery) am I flexing my knee out wrong, not pointing my toes correctly (I understand the horse stance, jujitsu and former barrel racer) or should I do a different exercise to strengthen my knee before I attempt this leg strengthener? Thank you for all you do, I really appreciate all of you!
You may need to modify your toe and knee position so it doesn't hurt and over time work toward the noted stance. It really depends on how your knee joints are after surgery. I wish you well. Be patient, please. Brad

Huh? What happened to Bob?
Does this mean that Bob is no longer going to be on the channel?

@pedro33226 Bob may appear some but because of his illness I doubt he will be speaking again on the videos.
@@joanncampbell1940 Ever again? What is his illness? What happened?
Not loving the thumbnail for what is a great vid. Looks like one of those clickbait thumbnails, not a Brad and Bob thumb. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks for the feedback!
If one doesn’t have anything good to say they shouldn’t say anything at all ! It’s not godly !
I really like Mike and his addition to the instructions and lightheartedness too. Of course Bob is in our prayers. Thanks very much. You have been helpful in many ways.
Bob? What happened, how is he?
These new AI images are so disturbing.

I must criticize the AI art legs plz don’t do that it looks goofy ☠️💀
Do squats while brushing teeth and timing squats to dance music. Great way to wake up all of my senses.
1:15 why Brad?!😂
Mike is such a good sport 😎
Good jos, you guys, everyone in front and behind the camera! I am grateful for the work you're putting into every video❤
That’s why sumo wrestlers stand like that.
Really ? His voice doesn’t take away the message he’s a trying to get across.
Asterisk: Not to be performed while wearing jeans.

Nice! Adding this to my squats😊
I like to combine the horse stance with pectoral stretch in the doorway...... and if you get it all right your abdominals vibrate...... naturally
Heyy lol i luv ur vids u guys slay bob and brad
YES! That does work. Whenever I feel like I'm losing my balance I do that exercise with crab-walking side to side maintaining the stance. In minutes I feel stronger and steady for days! I learned it from an Asian trainer using Tia Chi.
This is the first stance you learn in traditional Gung-Fu ( proper pronunciation). We had to stay in this stance for the whole first class.
Love and appreciate the videos!!! They help!!!
Happy New Year, Bob and Brad and the crew. Stop me, if you have already made this video. I need to work on my upper body strength. Currently, I can barely lift 15 pounds (same weight as my dog). Keep up the awesome work. And, take care. \o
Can you modify it cause I can’t do squats or anything else like these
His toes aren't pointing forward
Ya but… horse stance is different than plié’ which has the toes point in the same direction as the knees. Doesn’t the horse stance put the knees at risk?
I will definitely try this. Thanks, guys! Happy New Year to all three of you. 🎉
Hope bob is doing well

That is pretty funny, I will speak more clearly. Lol Brad
These are great, thanks!
Thank you very much for your valuable information ♥👍👍
Ehi mister, devi scendere di più fino arrivare al parallelo,come lo fai tù è un semi squat👎
Always do that while brushing my teeth and stand in front of PC at work. 😂
so is it healthy to do it in case of those who have osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis of the Knee?
I have had osteo arthritis of the left knee for about 15 years, and for the most part, the more I walk, do stairs, squats and the horse stance I never have any issues. Occasionally I will start to feel discomfort, and then I take turmeric and black pepper mixed in water for a few days and it clears up.

This exercise was punishment's at the time of my school time😀
In shotokan karate there are 2types of horse stance - one with toes pointing straight and other with toes at 45degrees.
You can also do these while watching videos.... and not only this one!
I like the way you think, you will go far in life. Brad
Horse stance looks like the postion that Sumo wrestlers go into.
This is gold to my ears and eyes. Decades ago (literally, I am quite a bit older than Brad and Bob) I studied kung fu and learned the horse stance. Gradually most of that training faded. And this, now!! Thank you. I am restarting this part of my daily regimen in a few minutes. Thank you. Thank you
Do shiko sumo training.
Ew there was no need for that unrealistic photo
Best w/o pose while your drying after the shower. Been doing it for years.
me too, also while wiping down the shower screen, helps keep it clean while exercising at the same time :-)
Thx so much guys! I’ve never seen this stance and I desperately need help with quad strength AND balance!! Plz tell Bob we love him and miss him!!
I appreciate the reminder of martial arts moves. I haven't done horse stance in a long time, since finishing with tai Kwan do a few years ago. Awesome leg strengthener. Thanks.
Can you do this if you have knee pain?
Happy New Year to my favorite stud muffins...Brad, Mike, and Bob!
Has this guy ever ridden a horse???

Modified whirling dervishes good for turning strategies....... adding in diagonal lunges gives you 8 points in free-standing
If you ever mention US Football as a legit reference, I'll block your channel
Very nicely explained all your vdos..Thanks Brad and team
Excellent
Love the way he pushes him in horse stance, he hardly touches him as opposed to him physically pushing him in the squat stance 😁
"Horse Stance", never thought I'd hear that again. This took me back to those few months I spent in karate school.
👍👍👍👍👍
i do that when im in the CR taking my poop
That perfect tips
Bob, I also feel this more in my glutes. Is this ok or am I doing something wrong?
No, you are fine. Different people have different weaknesses. I wish you well. Brad
Where does the hip hinge come into this exercise? Hip hinge before a squat transfers weight to glutes, hamstrings, then quads knees. Is the horse stance too anterior loaded?
Hip replacement?
What happened to Bob
Try standing in that stupid horse stance in a real fight and your opponent will laugh so hard he won't even want to hit you
Great exercise. Thanks guys.
Thank you!!
I would love to see this in a full routine with Julie that we could follow along with, without the descriptive narration...just a routine. ❤
Great idea!

Happy new year fellas it's been awhile
Happy New Year!
Did a few of these, but felt pain in my knees. Any fixes?
probably weak knees
I'd say try to strengthen your legs and perhaps lose weight.
Look at the American Heart Association videos with Leslie .It’s fun and their are A lot of variations of knee movements during it. Loosen up your joints in a gentle manner then try this stance. 10-15 minutes.Walk at Home is the title😊

Can you do the McGill big 3 exercises? They help me but I am sure we have different back issues. Good luck.
Can these be done with knee replacements?
Tell Bob we said hello and happy new year!🎉
🤔 One foott won't stay flat on the floor the second i try to bend my knees.

Looks similar to a split step in tennis
I squat regularly. This will be great to add. Thanks Guys! Happy New Year!🎉
Fantastic, it is always fun to add something new to learn from. Brad
Just a little shout out to say hello to Bob :-)
Can you do this in a pool
Would a 30 second walk work? 😅
❤
I miss Bob. 😕
I miss Bob.
Bring back Bob!!!
My hips are so tight I can only spread my legs 6 inches. Any advice
What!? Seriously?
Advice? - Work on it!
