I am 65 years old just started horse stance a week ago and doing 1 minute hold of 2 sets and feeling better while walking
Great job! Keep up the good work!
Thanks 86 just starting 💪👍
Dr. Candy,
I am so impressed by your clear descriptive exercises combined with your pedagogical approach.
Recently I (a 70 year old woman from Sweden) discovered this amazing program and want to praise you for your brilliant ability to convey how to use the body correctly to not strain our "pain points", especially for us "oldies"....even young ones. .
Glad you enjoy the videos.
I love your comments & could not agree more what a good teacher he is. Wish he was in our home town. Love you are watching from Sweden!
Dr Candy thank you for sharing this awesome video. I found your instruction extremely helpful and easy to follow. I look forward to seeing more on your channel.
You're welcome. Glad you found it helpful.
I will need a bar to start as I am in my 70's. Not sure if I ever will succeed as I had cancer and the therapy plus heart attack, sciatica surgery. but I will slowly try it as I need more strength in my quads and ankles and hips. Slow and easy! but TY
Make sure to check out the seated version at 2:30 . That might be an easier entry point.
An excellent video Dr Candymany thanks indeed

I am 105 years old; horse stand is m'y favorite ecercise. I can do HS for 9 seconds.
That's awesome! I hope to be able to do that at 105 (or even 95). Keep up the good work!
Is it ok to start free standing rather than on a chair? I can hold for 1 minute free-standing in an approx half squat. Is that ok?
Absolutely! Everyone's physical abilities allow them to start at different levels. If you don’t need the chair, there's no need to use it.
@@More4Life Thanks. I appreciate the way you drill down to what is functional and might work for different people in different circumstances. Keep 'em coming!
I can't do it, bad knees
Did you watch the whole video? See 2:22
I am 72 years old and I have a hard time walking
