Dear Guru Furey,

I’ve been reading your emails for years and I’m a huge fan. I love your tai chi course but I’m getting older, 69, and I can’t squat very low in some of the movements. Will this ever change?

A: On this matter, my friend, I do know squat. The key is to take your time. Don’t rush the process – the opposite of what the goo-rudes teach. Ya know, all that ‘get out of yer comfort zone’ sloganeering. The key is finding your comfort zone and allowing it to naturally expand. Force makes worse. Keep practicing each day and one morning you’ll wake up and realize that your body has its own intelligencia. It will send a message to your brain, letting you know that now is the time for you to go deeper. And when you do, you’ll know squat, too.

Badass Tai Chi – get it now before I raise duh amount again!

And if you just want to do squats, without the tai chi, my international best-smeller, Combat Conditioning will do the trick.
