hi all. Have had problems with hips and waiting for x-ray results so doc advised not to run but to fast walk. I showed him the video of the Chinese man's style and he said it looked perfect. I've tried it twice now and have to say why didn't I try this before!! its excellent. no jarring of joints and I can still do 5k and it burns more calories! the slow movements really get your muscles working. feeling fab. have a great day all xx

That’s great news! Will encourage my husband to give it a go. He has osteoarthritis in his knees

That’s great that you can keep on exercising in a safe way. I’ll have to go and google this style now, as I’ve not heard of it before.
