I'm glad to see Bob in the video, shows us how to accept setbacks with grace and do what we can, and Brad shows us how to keep engaged with a less-able person, keep them in the conversation. Blessings on you both for all you have given us over the years.

@@arnolddiaz3162 It's ataxia. Some of the newest videos have a bit of text on screen explaining so look for one of those to see it. The text might also be in the description for this video. It is degenerative and genetic in Bob's case, he is doing better now with therapy.

[@brenda324]

Bob is a living testimony to what he has been teaching all these years. To do as well as he is doing on a world stage is phenomenal. That takes a strong man and one of integrity. Doing it with grace and grit. Brad is OK too. lol

Best way to cope with broken heart is to find someplace in nature with beautiful scenery relaxing and peaceful - I find near water is good. And meditate.

Bob is an inspiration . Started watching their vids from years ago and was saddened to learn of his setback as I watched more recent vids. All the best sir in continuing your tutorials.

[@judylaybourne7908]

Some thoughts on a broken heart. I’ve found exercise to be very helpful. Walks outside in the fresh air improve our mood. Knowing that this too shall pass may be helpful. Out for lunch with a friend - listening to his/her problems makes us realize ours are easier. Just ideas.

[@jannibal9273]

I was skeptical, but I saw the "W" exercise in a previous video and tried it for a few days, a couple times a day as I sit in front of my computer a lot reading news and streaming videos, etc. I'm retired, 70 year old female. I can definitely say I've noticed a large improvement in my posture and my shoulders don't look as slumpy and rounded as they used to. I also raised up my computer screen on top of several books so it is now at eye level and I do not have to angle my head down to look at it. Big difference. I"ll do the other exercises too, because they can't hurt, and they may help. Meanwhile, they do make me feel better, even if it's just the "placebo" effect.

[@jeroldpaquette9068]

Indeed. I motivated friends to do their W’s and they, and their spouses, thank me!

[@veronicagallo2035]

I know what yr saying but don't think it's a placebo effect😃. I'll tell ya ,,I'm in mid 5Os these and also Miranda Esmonds White who is in her mid 70s you can find most of her PBS EPISODES ON KZbin or if pbs comes in where u live ,it's on at 6 am😁‼️ The reason I always tell ppl about her ,of all the many ppl w workout or stretch videos.?... Hers are not only VERY effective‼️Every single episode they stretch n strengthen EVERY BONE N MUSCLES In THE BODY. 22 MIN S A DAY. THERE R MUCH SHORTER VIDEOS she has on here but the aging backward , etc weight loss, toning etc r all in ea workout ‼️ These 2 guys r great too , 👍😁 I just have to tell ppl The other one I mentioned will have anyone feeling and looking much better! She's also superb at explaining while working out along w us. Stretching mostly.. She works w top athletes and the olympic teams 👍I guess I just want others to know because I know how very effective her VIDS are 🌃🌙 Sorry for the spiel 😬.

[@lynnnewsom8054]

Love this! Said the senior citizen watching ‘GRIT’. I can do these when I cut the TV to that channel. We (I’m a retired RN) used to tell seniors that had a history of taking off walking as soon as they stood up and then would fall, to count to 3 before they started walking. Thanks, y’all.

[@LilliesPad05]

Thanks good tip

[@lalaland962]

That counting to 3 is a great idea. I've had balance issues since I was a child, and I've never heard that. Thank you!

[@stephen8433]

That is a good tip, I am 75 and my doctor told me to count to ten before starting to walk. I have a grab bar on the wall in front of my recliner an I can hold it until i get steady.

[@joseenoel8093]

Use it or lose it! I've gone back to swinging at the park, I'm having an affair with a bench on chains ⛓! It's harder than it looks/used to be but keeping at it has helped build my strenght back and I'm sure it's good for balance!

[@sarac.3259]

I so agree! Many parks have age limits where I live, but if I see one without an age limit, I am on that swing like a three-year-old, much to my teenage daughter's dismay! Good for posture and strength - and you feel like you are five again for a few minutes! 🤣

I commented on another video about how straightforward and well-demonstrated/explained your videos are, and this is no exception. I'm 55 and had a "slip and fall" accident last week that resulted in a broken left femoral head. I'm athletic and in good health (except for the busted bit!), but this accident has scared me sideways! The positive aspect of having your videos reinforce what I need to do to recover and, more importantly, (to remind my cocky young self!) to continue to work on good posture, etc., so that going into my "senior" years I remain in good physical condition and ready for whatever freak accidents life throws my way cannot be over-emphasized. Thank you!!
