    I'm 70 years old and I have been very aware of my declining trajectory since age 55 and I didn't like where I was going. I just started working on the healthy hips program even though I purchased it over a year ago. Some people need carrots, others need sticks. Recently, I watched a series on centenarians on Netflix and saw a guy in his 100s who moved better than me. THAT was my carrot to finally take my health and fitness to a whole
    new level!

    I'm doing physical therapy for a recovered ankle fracture, and this is one of the exercises they have me working on! I can do it perfectly on my good leg, but I lost so much muscle and balance on my other leg recovering from the injury! I practice this exercise every other day.

    With the knee bend I notice my back is not connected to my arms when I lean on something like a chair. I had a go with a lifting action and my back seemed more connected and my balance was so much better. Eventually, I just made a touching motion with my fingers, palm up.

    Subscribed to your channel after one of your videos on exercising your feet showed up on my feed. We are almost 70, me with broken pinkie toe and hubby with scrunched toes due to his wide feet, orthotic inserts, two times plantar fasciitis, meniscus tear, something going on in one of his his calf muscles preventing him from squatting, thick cushioned tennis shoes. Recently started researching barefoot shoes with wide toe box to see if transitioning from his bulky shoes with inserts to a better functioning shoe might help with some of his issues. Will take a while if he stays on board, but from everything I’ve read/watched, should definitely be beneficial.
    Always interested in balance techniques- and once my toe heals ( couple more weeks) will have to work doubly hard on that foot/leg

So I really need to do something to improve my balance. Love your mantra "fast is foolish". I need to learn how to do this in a safe way. Also, trying to work on the squat for better hip strength.

    I’m 68, and have been very sedentary for the past year - I now have almost no ability to stand on just my left leg. My right leg is a not too bad. Doing these exercises with any bend in my knee (either side) creates a lot of uncomfortable grinding in my knee (even putting most of my weight on a support). Should I continue, modify or do something entirely different.

    I've just recently taken up Karate and one of my biggest weaknesses is my balance, especially having chronic back pain which flares up when I'm doing some of the moves. I've found that considering my left side is the weakest, it's the side I can stay balanced on better and my right seems weakest from the balance viewpoint. I'm hoping these will change that
