Alright, okay! This girl here needs to include more movement in her life right now! Thank you, Tim!! I'm so grateful for your work, passion and joy in communicating your wisdom and discoveries with us! 🥰
@OriginalStrengthsSystem Tim, I just came across this video, purely by accident. For years (despite having been a fairly high level athlete in years past) I've been battling a bad back and tight and painful right hip. This exercise, along with ATG split squat, just set me on such a clear recovery path, that I wish I would have found this sooner! Still, "much grass", as they used to say. Cheers! -Al
🤔😃 Five stars !!! 👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻 Concise descriptions, tips for those not-so-fit, and openings to several developments/possibilities ! Thank you very, very much ! 😊
Tim you truly found your calling. Your genuine passion for what you do shines like a beacon in the night! Thank you. I so wish our species would cultivate it's own so that we allowed our children to find their passion, to contribute their gifts and talents and appreciate those aspects in others. Many blessing be to you and yours!
Because of soreness in my joints and an arm injury, I started just doing your stuff. I pretty much do it every day, and I do this move every day. In the beginning I couldn't tell my body how to rock back to a squat. It just didn't know how to do it so I had to assist myself and you gave me permission to do that. I appreciate that permission. It's really good to do something partially before you can do it completely. I'm watching the video again, and seeing that I'm still a little bit rough with the movement but I can do it all at once and although I can't get in a deep squat with my feet completely on the floor they are very very close. I'm very excited about this. And I thank you for your excellent videos and the approach you have which is very pastoral. It's really great to tell people to do what they can so that they can do more later.
@@OriginalStrengthSystem I like your emphasis on doing something for 10 minutes. And you say if you can do it for 10 minutes then you can do it for almost any length of time. I'll sometimes 10 minutes is tough. I tried to Bear crawl and I crawled for 10 minutes but only bear crawled for 5 and 1/2 minutes. But I'm going to get there. This movement is really easy to do for 10 minutes, in fact I did it for 16 and 1/2 minutes and did a hundred. Or maybe I did more, because I kept losing track. It is hard to go fast and keep good form. I'm trying to sit in the squat as low as I can. That's the part that probably looks the most gnarly, but if I pay a lot of attention I can have my feet almost completely on the ground and be at least below parallel. I didn't get out of breath and I just love how flexible I feel after doing it. Plus it's totally awesome to workout when it's almost a hundred degrees outside. I would be very interested in hearing your top 10 things to do for 10 minutes. I know one is Spider-Man crawling and I'm not ready for that yet, but I'm working on it and I'm sure you've mentioned other things. Thank you for your excellent videos and your encouragement.
This is quickly becoming my favorite daily “get moving “ technique. Thanks for this sir ! I love that it gives me some pushups, and then that transition from the knees to the feet does so many things for the lower body joint mobility.
Easily one of the most complex and comprehensive bodyweight exercise I have seen on TH-cam University. Definitely going to try this. Thank you for this video!
I don’t know why, but I much prefer this to the TGU! Thanks for all the great ideas! I’ve read Pressing Reset, but sometimes it’s hard to come up with new moves to play with, so I love weekly movement snax so much! Here’s an idea for one: standing or work versions for snack breaks through the day. I work at a sit/stand desk in a public area, so getting on the floor at work, though a great idea imo, might not go over well. The standing roll has helped me a bunch though (lead with the head).
Great video! Although I can do the movement quite easily after 5 or 6 times it catches up with you! Later I realised, this is a very similar movement pattern to how we, as Muslims, perform prayer! The slight differences are we don’t quite do the full hip extension whilst lying down, and whilst standing we perform a straight legged 90 degree hinge, return to the top before squatting down. We typically go though the whole movement pattern a total of 30-50 times, spread over 5 sessions spaced throughout the day. Given that this was divine instruction, you have done very well to come up with this yourself! 👏🏻
Hey Tim, thanks for replying! I discovered you through Dan John and I have now started listening to some Bodcasts that jump out at me! I would like to read some of your work. I am currently beginning strength training and also some locomotion movements to support mobility. Which of your books would you recommend to start with?
I have already wrote about this exercise. I tried it and I liked a lot. Looking at the video, to understand my mistakes, came to my mind the idea that you can use this exercise like a warm up before doing burpees.
Thank you Tim I’m going to give this a try. Slow and steady as I’m very guilty of going from no activity to 100 mph , getting hurt and putting myself back months
Where do you get all these ideas , sir? I'm playing around with lots of these movements you've demonstrated (with varying levels of success ) and they all feel great! Well they don't feel great at the time, but I can tell it's going to reverse a lot of my muscle imbalances and postural issues. Thanks for your inspiration!
Great move!! When I really want to challenge my balance and quad strength when dong this, I eliminate the squat before standing up. Just balance in a toe squat and then push straight up without flexing at the hips first. Either way, it's a fantastic move that helps to strengthen everything. 🙂
Love this and will teach it as well. What's great is you can add onto it as well. Cobra , up or down dogs, push ups, heel raises at the top when you stand etc...Great stuff. Do you ever play with yoga blocks?
@@OriginalStrengthSystem Yep and just thought of adding another. Tibetan rite # 4 or modified camel pose into this sequence as well. Yoga blocks are not only good additions for push ups to add range of motion in the pecs etc.. but can be fun as well. Jump throughs and jump backs like in Ashtanga Yoga. I like to jump through, hold the L sit, maybe do dip or two and then jump back to 1/2 plank position which is safer than jumping back to plank. I do send your vids around so hopefully I am helping your business and really appreciate all the free vids you give away here.
I will strive to do this...just read your book so I am new to all of this...trying to reset a hamstring tear as well as humerus break ...I am starting with the basics
@@OriginalStrengthSystem thanks so much for the encouragement and support... I have incorporated the breathing, rolling over, rocking and nods into my workouts ... look forward to seeing some results! Love all that you do and thanks for sharing! This pandemic has us all appreciating online workouts! Just a huge thanks! 💯👍
@@OriginalStrengthSystem oh forgot to say that at this point or anytime in my life for that matter ...I cannot do a full squat! So when I succeed in doing this move...I will be posting a video! Lol
I think this is really great, thank you. It's not unlike sun salutations in some versions, i think. wondering if there is something similar but where you start on your back - a full-ish body movement pattern...
I think so. It may be a combination of this video with the one we on conversing on: Morning Mobility Moves th-cam.com/video/igZAtNG2sxQ/w-d-xo.html These two combined or morphed together may be best of both
I do not know why exactly I would want to do this but I would like to give this video 3 thumbs up if it was possible. Probably because of the energy put in the explanation. Thank you.
Memory Card without watching you, it’s hard to know. It could simply be a new movement that will get better as you practice it. Or, maybe more rocking!
Got to love the comments from various religious claimants. Tim show them the one the Catholics use to work their rotator cuff and front deltoid. Helps build Mass.
You deserve a million followers! God knows people with a million followers have ripped your work without giving you any credit. Kudos to you for the real work you’re doing here with Original Strength!!
I bought your dvd on vimeo... how do u put your tongue on your palate? Is it the tip of your tongue curled back to touch the center of the roof of your palate? Or is it just placing your tongue on the roof of your mouth and not concerned about the tip or curling it back etc... maybe do a video on this and it’s benefits...there are too many confusing information on this topic on google and the position of the tongue.. thanks
I'm 52 and discovered OS on IG. I love it and I am definitely benefiting from it. I am also beginning to use it for warm ups for kettlebell work. Any thoughts or suggestions on that? I must say since taking up rocking and such I feel better in various ways. Thanks!
Christian, spending 10 minutes breathing, rocking, rolling and head nodding before playing with the kettlebell will completely transform your practice. You may want to check out our books to learn more on how to use these movements with your training. They can completely enhance your life.
@@OriginalStrengthSystem Which books would you recommend? Im 60 and trying to dvelop better movement and strenght after years of longer distance running only.
1) My transition down to my knees is a little bit abrupt. What muscles do I focus on so I don't thump onto the ground. 2) Any tips for returning to standing position? I almost fell backwards a couple times...lol. I didn't think I could do this at the age of 61.
I don't focus on muscles, just motion. If you can place bolsters or levels (stools or whatever) around you, they can often be very helpful on mastering the transitions, allowing you to focus on the harder or weaker parts of the motion. Eventually, you can remove the bolsters. I hope this helps. Oh, and 61 is plenty young enough to be able to do this!
Genius! I’ve been looking for exactly what you described as one movement/exercise that can be done that would be total body. I’m just concerned if the torn meniscus in my left knee will be able to tolerate the deep squat bending.
Ruth, simply move where you can and start from there. Don't move into pain or fear. But examine those barriers and see if they disappear. You may be pleasantly surprised one day, or even sooner.
Hi Tim, Can you tell me how many repetitions for optimal results? Or do you start with a few, then gradually add 1 more a week, etc. I do the 5 Tibetan Rights 21 times every day, but started with 3 each, then added 1or 2 each week......so, is it like that? Great explanation and presentation, but no info. about how many reps to do. Hope to get a number soon and take care.
There’s really no magic number as much as the magic is in showing up and doing. However, 21 is a great target to aim at. I do have people target 21 reps of this in my book Discovering You. And of course, you could work your way to 21 as your body guides you. I hope this helps some.
@@OriginalStrengthSystem Thank you so much, that really helps! So, it is like the 5 Tibetan Rights, that you do as much as you can and work up to 21 reps. I appreciate you taking the time to get back to me and have a great day!
Wow! Just tried this....and wow! Question: You appear to have your feet rather close and straight while in squat, but I’m not able to do squat unless my feet are pointing a bit outward.....should I work to have a straighter foot? or does that matter? Thank you. -Louis
hi Tim, if deep squats are painful (I have a strained ligament) do I just go super slowly till I get to the range of what is possible right now before going into pain? I know I need to start to gently challenge my knee
i feel like this could be a part of a series of “one movements”, there would be three. one for each plane of motion, this is largely sagittal. im wondering what you’d come up with for transverse (probably a roll!), and frontal planes!! doing all three of those would be the most epic start to the day! will you make videos for that??
Original Strength how cool is that?! i just finished practicing your movement, then saw your reply! it was fun :) i added a standing lumbar extension, some with hands at my low back for support, and some out stretched over head. truly looking forward to what you come up with. i’ve been experimenting with the idea as well.
I got acquainted with your stuff through a Dan John video. I watched it in slow motion and tried to imitate it, and then I saw some other things about the five resets and this video. About two of your books, which I am finding very interesting. I worked everything into a morning routine, which is evolving with some of my stuff. Of course, I have no idea what I’m doing but you seem to give me permission to kinda do what feels good. I hope I’m interpreting you correctly. I love to lift hard and heavy, with kettle bells but at 62 I’m getting injuries. I am also little “stove up” in the morning and have trouble getting pencil off the ground. So, your stuff is just awesome. I also like your style and that you give us permission to do what we can. I’m very strong except when I have balance and flexibility issues. So that means I’m not very strong, really. Doing your little workouts is not very physically difficult (except of course, for the parts that I cannot do such as rock from a kneeling position into a squat) but I find that after I’m done, I mentally feel better as well as physically feel good. You might be way too busy, and after all you’re trying to make money, but I thought I would share with you my interpretation of your movement. I probably got something wrong. In doing 5 to 10 of them in the morning, with some assistance getting into the squat position. I also have a morning routine that I saved in Dropbox, but is trying to apply some of your principles. I know there are practitioners of “Original strength" in the Dallas area, but as a poor parish priest, I usually must get by with TH-cam videos. I understand that you’re a busy man, and I am too, but your stuff has excited me. I know that when I have difficulties, and as a priest I have many, when I’m moving well, I deal with them better. Trying to relearn my style not always work out so hard. Thank you for getting me onto something that I think is going to work for me. www.dropbox.com/s/o0wtcni2xfmqr4w/Original%20strength%20and%205%20big%20Resets%20routine.docx?dl=0 THE ONE MOVEMENT YOU SHOULD DO FOR HEALTH & STRENGTH OS pushup - start on all fours, lower yourself to the ground. In the bottom position, the forearms should be perpendicular to the ground. Palms flat, arms at about mid torso. Push back up, as far back as possible, with calves touching hamstrings. Keep head and chest up. Let go of floor, stand tall on the knees. Get on balls of your feet, rock back into the bottom squat position. Stand. Reverse the movement. Variation: From the squat position, raise up the buttocks first and then stand. It is acceptable to use the hands or any helping object to get into the squat position.
Sir, you’ve got it. The essence at least. I looked at your program on dropbox and it is very similar to a daily program I put together for a book I have coming out in June or July. Again, I think your interpretation is fairly accurate. These movements, the “resets,” are essentially God’s design for how the body should move. They are all hardwired into each and every one of us and when we do them, we do feel good mentally and physically. They also allow us to demonstrate fuller if not full expression in mobility, strength, and grace. Basically, when you engage in the design, GOoD things happen. When you live in the design, well, it’s just wonderful. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts and your plan with me. You’ve got it! If I can be of any help, just let me know.
Why make life complicated when it can be so easy! For god complication doesn't mean that you cannot add complexity in your move. So I played in my mind to combine this move by using a medball additionally. Will see how it works!!!
Do you practice breathing in the bottom of the rock to search for more range of motion? Can you rock all the way back, butt to calves, with your back flat? And, have you tried this? th-cam.com/video/wmjIXSzlZAI/w-d-xo.html
Original Strength I practice breathing at the bottom of the rock. I cannot rock all the way back to my calves. I watched the video. When my thighs get slightly past parallel, the pain starts.
Your squat will typically only be as deep as your rocking pattern. Some things that can help the rocking pattern open up are breathing at the bottom and trying to relax deeper, or performing head nods at the bottom of the rocking pattern. Windshield wipers may help some too. BUT without knowing you and being able to see you, I am only guessing. Really, it may be that playing with breathing in different positions is the trick for your knee pain. I know it sounds odd, but I’ve seen it happen more times than I can count.
@@OriginalStrengthSystem nice. fwiw, some of this movement snack is frequently done in japanese martial arts class. sometimes intentionally and more often as courtesy. the maximum of bowing is a formal bow. this is from seiza (kneeling as you did tops of feet on mat). the rocking and push up part would be something out of tibetan buddhism but the rest is everyday stuff on a japanese mat. politely standing up after a formal bow is as you outlined it (although usually with straight vertical posture). what you did reminds me of very controlled flexibility increasing burpees. will the posterior version involve a similar take on kip ups?
@@OriginalStrengthSystem love your stuff, Tim. I kind of find it fascinating that some religious practises have inbuilt exercises within them without it ever really being referred to as exercise. Some Buddhists also do daily bowing/prostrations in a similar way (Buddhist Burpee). Maybe 100, 300 reps or even more reps. Might be a reason for lots of sprightly elderly Buddhists who can get up and down from the floor with ease without ever 'working out'
Alright, okay! This girl here needs to include more movement in her life right now! Thank you, Tim!! I'm so grateful for your work, passion and joy in communicating your wisdom and discoveries with us! 🥰
Thanks for the encouragement!
@OriginalStrengthsSystem
Tim, I just came across this video, purely by accident.
For years (despite having been a fairly high level athlete in years past) I've been battling a bad back and tight and painful right hip.
This exercise, along with ATG split squat, just set me on such a clear recovery path, that I wish I would have found this sooner!
Still, "much grass", as they used to say.
Cheers!

Hey Tim, Did you learn this from Buddhist temple? I was doing this morning and night thousand of times every day years ago. 😅
Ha! No. I just spend a lot of time day dreaming and moving. Sometimes the combination turns up good things!
Can you use this as a morning wake up?
1) My transition down to my knees is a little bit abrupt. What muscles do I focus on so I don't thump onto the ground. 2) Any tips for returning to standing position? I almost fell backwards a couple times...lol. I didn't think I could do this at the age of 61.
I don't focus on muscles, just motion. If you can place bolsters or levels (stools or whatever) around you, they can often be very helpful on mastering the transitions, allowing you to focus on the harder or weaker parts of the motion. Eventually, you can remove the bolsters.
I hope this helps. Oh, and 61 is plenty young enough to be able to do this!
Genius! I’ve been looking for exactly what you described as one movement/exercise that can be done that would be total body. I’m just concerned if the torn meniscus in my left knee will be able to tolerate the deep squat bending.
Ruth, simply move where you can and start from there. Don't move into pain or fear. But examine those barriers and see if they disappear. You may be pleasantly surprised one day, or even sooner.
How about adding two quick cross crawls in the top position? Would you fancy that?
Why yes, yes i believe I would! Great add!
It's your fault, man, you made me love them :-)
Hi Tim, Can you tell me how many repetitions for optimal results? Or do you start with a few, then gradually add 1 more a week, etc. I do the 5 Tibetan Rights 21 times every day, but started with 3 each, then added 1or 2 each week......so, is it like that? Great explanation and presentation, but no info. about how many reps to do. Hope to get a number soon and take care.
There’s really no magic number as much as the magic is in showing up and doing. However, 21 is a great target to aim at. I do have people target 21 reps of this in my book Discovering You. And of course, you could work your way to 21 as your body guides you.
I hope this helps some.
@@OriginalStrengthSystem Thank you so much, that really helps! So, it is like the 5 Tibetan Rights, that you do as much as you can and work up to 21 reps. I appreciate you taking the time to get back to me and have a great day!
Wow! Just tried this....and wow! Question: You appear to have your feet rather close and straight while in squat, but I’m not able to do squat unless my feet are pointing a bit outward.....should I work to have a straighter foot? or does that matter? Thank you. -Louis
Hey Louis! Nope! having your feet slightly out is great. Don't sweat having them straight.
a segmented burpee ...doing it by joints
hi Tim, if deep squats are painful (I have a strained ligament) do I just go super slowly till I get to the range of what is possible right now before going into pain? I know I need to start to gently challenge my knee
You’ve got it! Move where you can in pain Free motion. Going super slow can also sometimes quiet the pain as well.
LOVE!!!!!
How can you add rotation to this movement?
Look away from the screen? 😁
I must’ve really needed this. I could do them all, but had 3 days of soreness in my butt afterwards. Doing them all again today, I like the movements.
I like! I LIKE!
Awesome! So glad it is useful!
i feel like this could be a part of a series of “one movements”, there would be three. one for each plane of motion, this is largely sagittal. im wondering what you’d come up with for transverse (probably a roll!), and frontal planes!! doing all three of those would be the most epic start to the day! will you make videos for that??
Thank you so much for the wonderful suggestion. It really is a marvelous idea. I will see what I can do!
Original Strength how cool is that?! i just finished practicing your movement, then saw your reply! it was fun :) i added a standing lumbar extension, some with hands at my low back for support, and some out stretched over head.
truly looking forward to what you come up with. i’ve been experimenting with the idea as well.
Holy Cow!
I got acquainted with your stuff through a Dan John video. I watched it in slow motion and tried to imitate it, and then I saw some other things about the five resets and this video. About two of your books, which I am finding very interesting. I worked everything into a morning routine, which is evolving with some of my stuff.
Of course, I have no idea what I’m doing but you seem to give me permission to kinda do what feels good. I hope I’m interpreting you correctly.
I love to lift hard and heavy, with kettle bells but at 62 I’m getting injuries. I am also little “stove up” in the morning and have trouble getting pencil off the ground. So, your stuff is just awesome. I also like your style and that you give us permission to do what we can. I’m very strong except when I have balance and flexibility issues. So that means I’m not very strong, really.
Doing your little workouts is not very physically difficult (except of course, for the parts that I cannot do such as rock from a kneeling position into a squat) but I find that after I’m done, I mentally feel better as well as physically feel good.
You might be way too busy, and after all you’re trying to make money, but I thought I would share with you my interpretation of your movement. I probably got something wrong. In doing 5 to 10 of them in the morning, with some assistance getting into the squat position. I also have a morning routine that I saved in Dropbox, but is trying to apply some of your principles. I know there are practitioners of “Original strength" in the Dallas area, but as a poor parish priest, I usually must get by with TH-cam videos. I understand that you’re a busy man, and I am too, but your stuff has excited me.
I know that when I have difficulties, and as a priest I have many, when I’m moving well, I deal with them better. Trying to relearn my style not always work out so hard. Thank you for getting me onto something that I think is going to work for me.

THE ONE MOVEMENT YOU SHOULD DO FOR HEALTH & STRENGTH
OS pushup - start on all fours, lower yourself to the ground.
In the bottom position, the forearms should be perpendicular to the ground.
Palms flat, arms at about mid torso.
Push back up, as far back as possible, with calves touching hamstrings.
Keep head and chest up.
Let go of floor, stand tall on the knees.
Get on balls of your feet, rock back into the bottom squat position.
Stand.
Reverse the movement.
Variation: From the squat position, raise up the buttocks first and then stand.
It is acceptable to use the hands or any helping object to get into the squat position.
Sir, you’ve got it. The essence at least. I looked at your program on dropbox and it is very similar to a daily program I put together for a book I have coming out in June or July. Again, I think your interpretation is fairly accurate.
These movements, the “resets,” are essentially God’s design for how the body should move. They are all hardwired into each and every one of us and when we do them, we do feel good mentally and physically. They also allow us to demonstrate fuller if not full expression in mobility, strength, and grace. Basically, when you engage in the design, GOoD things happen. When you live in the design, well, it’s just wonderful.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts and your plan with me. You’ve got it! If I can be of any help, just let me know.
@@OriginalStrengthSystem I will look forward to the book. I have 2 to get through first. Thank you.
as a beginner how long or how many reps to do
Tough question to answer. We are all different. But, start with 3 minutes a day. If it gets easy, or enjoyable, do 5.
LOL which movement was the one movement 🤪 ?
How good is 100 reps in 10 minutes?
It's great! good work!
Precioso movimiento
👍
No no no! Leave the gum chewing. John Lennon chewed gum while singing. You are being a rock and roll legend. Rock on!
Stephen Hawley can do!
A short cut for burpee but never less effective
To make it even harder: instead of rocking push-up insert Mike Tyson's one! 👍
Oh, I call those rocking pushups! They are great! I’ve made a few vids about them too. Love that movement
👏💢👍💥💪💯
Why make life complicated when it can be so easy! For god complication doesn't mean that you cannot add complexity in your move. So I played in my mind to combine this move by using a medball additionally. Will see how it works!!!
❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉

There’s no way my knees could handle this type of movement. I cannot squat that deep.
Start here, let your knees remember gentle movement. th-cam.com/video/5e08_N8Ca7M/w-d-xo.html
Original Strength I have been rocking for several months. No improvement in my squat.
Do you practice breathing in the bottom of the rock to search for more range of motion? Can you rock all the way back, butt to calves, with your back flat? And, have you tried this? th-cam.com/video/wmjIXSzlZAI/w-d-xo.html
Original Strength I practice breathing at the bottom of the rock. I cannot rock all the way back to my calves. I watched
the video. When my thighs get slightly past parallel, the pain starts.
Your squat will typically only be as deep as your rocking pattern. Some things that can help the rocking pattern open up are breathing at the bottom and trying to relax deeper, or performing head nods at the bottom of the rocking pattern. Windshield wipers may help some too. BUT without knowing you and being able to see you, I am only guessing. Really, it may be that playing with breathing in different positions is the trick for your knee pain. I know it sounds odd, but I’ve seen it happen more times than I can count.
One movement..!
That should be burpees
Feel free to do all the burpees you want to do. You can do all of mine, too!
Muslim Prayer Man, good luck
Beat me to it
You can chew gum any time you’d like. 😊 thanks for this video.
Thanks!
"The OS Burpee"
Ha! Maybe so!
get a twist in there tim. and the gum is fine.
is there a posterior to that anterior movement?
zendogbreath there may be a posterior movement with a twist!
@@OriginalStrengthSystem nice. fwiw, some of this movement snack is frequently done in japanese martial arts class. sometimes intentionally and more often as courtesy. the maximum of bowing is a formal bow. this is from seiza (kneeling as you did tops of feet on mat). the rocking and push up part would be something out of tibetan buddhism but the rest is everyday stuff on a japanese mat. politely standing up after a formal bow is as you outlined it (although usually with straight vertical posture). what you did reminds me of very controlled flexibility increasing burpees. will the posterior version involve a similar take on kip ups?
There’s a black and white video of Hindus doing this movement using a stick for support. Minus the push up move.
Great movement but man you sure overdo those captions! I find them a bit too distracting to be honest.
Thank you
Pretty close to Muslim prayer's movement.
This is literally how Muslims pray everyday..... Let that sink in.
I'm not sure it will as I don't know what you want me to let sink, but thank you for watching.
@@OriginalStrengthSystem love your stuff, Tim. I kind of find it fascinating that some religious practises have inbuilt exercises within them without it ever really being referred to as exercise. Some Buddhists also do daily bowing/prostrations in a similar way (Buddhist Burpee). Maybe 100, 300 reps or even more reps. Might be a reason for lots of sprightly elderly Buddhists who can get up and down from the floor with ease without ever 'working out'
James, I bet you're right. Their daily devotion and practice keeps them able. Crazy enough to work!
Looks like Muslims prayer!!!!
