    I am so glad I ran into your videos, as my balance is terrible. I had Physical Therapy till this Conronavirus got so bad. I had something to offer that might helps others. I am using the door way to do your exercises, as I'm more weak than I thought. I think your exercises are going to be great for me. Thank you.

    I really have learned a lot from the two of you. You explain things so that we can understand the exercise and why not to do it other ways that might seem easier. You always explain the whys and the what is best and why it is best to do it certain ways. Thank you both for these videos that have helped me more than I can say. Keep up the good work. You surely have helped a lot of people improve their health and lives.

    I first discovered Bob & Brad when I started working with seniors in 2020. The whole exercise routine they used was from your channel, same order even. I then discovered all of your other fantastic videos. I now work as a Wellness Coordinator and provide classes in IL, AL, Memory and Skilled. I find everything I need to produce great exercise, balance and fun from your channel. Thanks so much for all you do to strengthen and heal us. We are so grateful for you both, keep on Rockin!!

    First I’m 79. I was having problems with my feet and my balance, where I live in the UK we have streets that are cobbled and I felt very unsteady walking on them so avoided them, about three months ago I decided I must go to the doctor, I decided to look on line and came across a web site that recommended heel and toe walking, I tried it right away, my feet don’t bother me at all now and I make a point of walking down the cobbled streets on purpose now because I feel so confident.
