At 26 I haven’t been stretching much, let alone exercise, since having my two kids. I wanted to get back to it, but not too fast and thankfully I found your videos. I did this one along with the “Morning Stretch Routine For Seniors” and benefited from both! Later on I’ll do your balance video and then the evening stretch routine before bed. Please continue to keep up this amazing work! ❤️
I try to do as many of these different sets as I have time for in any one day…….in terms of overall lfitness. Usually get in about three of them.Cardiac,back and stretches seem to be 'up front' with balance and weights following behind.Have I got the priorities right?
Mike is very good is there an exercise for siatic nerve for the back ?
Not able to watch the video properly because of the subtitles…. Is there a way to stop it?
Great exercises ! thanks ! 50+
Following,how these easy to do stretches are effective, much thanks
Great job Mike. You made my pain go away…….thanks very much
Thank you Mike. I am still following your exercises. I do a combination of exercises between 40-50mins each day, which includes the warming up.
Please need more for spine to relief pain
You are professional
Thank you 🙏
Very nice I will make sure to do this with my walking sassy 30 day challenge.. Thanks so much for the tips
I do warm up and stretches every day and is really fine ! Do you have some excersises for my back ?
So glad I found your videos they have been a great help for me and a family member who has spine and hip issues. My physical therapist thought that your videos are great. I also love how you keep things slow, steady and easy for uncoordinated people like me. Thank you so much for taking the time to help people like me🙏🏽🙂
Just discovered you. Love your laid back attitude and you have the sweetest smile. Well, here goes…will get back to you.
Thank you for these quiet, and well shown and explained exercises for us older people.Am enjoying this in the privacy of my home.Keep up the good work.👍
Love quadstretches.
4 very necessary streches! What a great feeling after doing them. Thanks Mike!
Great exercises ! thanks a lot Mike !
A big 'thank you'. I have found somebody who knows what my body needs. Simple exercises, great success. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
I've been using this regimen along with other Mike videos. Remember good head posture and tight stomach while doing the exercises. Two straight months of daily gentle exercising with Mike and I feel much better. After years of searching for an exercise routine that works for me I've finally found it in Mike's video series! I need not say more.
Keep it up easy helpful Thank you 🙏 help more
Less than 5 minutes every day of doing this exercise is all it takes for improved balance. Why not do it when doing other tasks like watching TV or brushing your teeth (just make sure you do it safely). I'll see you again for more videos this week. Keep moving – Mike
Thanks Mike! Challenging but great.
I did not realize how much I needed this! I still can’t do it entirely right. Not giving up.
Finding a big improvement in our balance. Thanks.
Great little workout, it is really helping my balance and core strength, after my hip replacement surgery, along with my hospital physio exercises of course :}
Invaluable series of exercises – thank you very much.
Good to do while brushing one’s teeth – the 2 minute timer is perfect. This is actually about core strength .
I do a bunch of exercises that have helped me remain fit during these lockdown days. But that didn't include anything for balance. Will add this to my routine.. and since you can do it while watching TV or listening to an audio Book, it is more likely to be done everyday, perhaps even multiple times. One small tip – though anyone with floor-level IQ can guess what you are doing with your raised leg, do consider shifting the text to a blank part of the screen. Not essential, but desirable.
Excellent exercise simple yet profound
💛💛💛
Thank you for the support and helping us in staying mobile. It is very gracious of you. With limited finances and being confined our house it does not go unnoticed. I will share and pay it forward.
thank you Mike!
Mike, you've really nailed this one. My clients can really benefit from this one. Quick and simple. Let's give it up for SENIORS!
I have complained for years that my balance is really bad and is not only dangerous at 74 but destroying my obsession to get better..at golf. A pro told me its a skill like chipping you can get better..stop spending a fortune on clubs lessons and meds practice balance stupid…but you cannot fix stupid…thanks this is the ticket..5 minutes a day…even with chair I will fall.😎
I attempted to do this balance exercise Monday.Right leg did pretty good. Left leg was really bad, balance is awful can't last 10 seconds.😣
Thanks Mike will definitely do this everyday as I need to work on my balance for sure!!
Thank you very much for sharing this great tip. I hope this will help.
Thank you for this, Mike!
You are well balanced!
I have bone-on-bone knees, so I will try as long as I can. Thank you!
God bless you!
