Thank you. I am a young Senior who has inadvertently let a bunch of muscle groups go due to inactivity. I'm very interested now in strengthening the muscles to maintain Mobility. Your exercises seem important but easy enough for a beginner lacking in some flexibility and muscle mass.
Spider bear looks so content in your lap and it's wonderful that you include him in your videos as it makes me feel relaxed knowing he's loved by you. These exercises are invaluable and I will start to use a band as I think it's the missing link for me. Many thanks Jo.
Bridges are really good, but I have to chuckle, and be grateful that there are no cameras when I do them. Need to hold onto a pole or something for the step down motion. Great video, thanks
I had a bad accident 4 months ago and I discharged myself from rehab and I need to strengthen this muscle. I shattered my hip / pelvis and feet and more. I think this is the muscle that’s stopping me from using this muscle properly, I can’t walk it’s so weak so am in a wheelchair. Il see if these help. I can’t even lift it up at the moment. Really wanting to walk now. Thank u for this! Il have to get some exercise bands ASAP 🥰
Hi Dr Jo I’m currently trying to build back my muscles in my legs so I can get walking again any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
Hello. You and the videos are very helpful and you’re gentle and fun. I’m just starting to focus on strengthening my glutes as I’m 51 as they feel weak, and I have back issues, etc. I’m also in decent shape yet muscle strengthening now. How often would suggest doing this routine to really benefit from the exercises? How many sets, reps and then how many times per week. Thank you so much for helping us.
Thanks, and you're welcome. These can be done every day. As far as reps and sets, this might help since it's different for everyone: www.askdoctorjo.com/content/repetitious-repetitions-0
Hi Doctor Jo ..thank you so much for all your hard work on these videos. I love the careful attention to detail that you provide. I have weak left side, so I have had a constant hip ache on the right side for over a year when I walk and run around the glut medius and slightly into hamstrings. I believe I am overcompensating and putting more weight on the right due to the weak left side. Your exercises are definitely helping and I do not have as much of a hip ache. I just wonder whether I should just be strengthening the weaker side (the left), rather than also strengthening the right, or must you always do the same exercises on each side? Your help is gratefully appreciated.
You're welcome, and thanks. It's always best to work both sides. Even if the other side is strong, it might be compensating for the weak side and still need work.
I have a video specifically for osteoporosis. You can find all my videos on my channel: th-cam.com/users/askdoctorjo, and you can use the search tool (the magnifying glass) under the banner on the right side to find specific videos/topics.
Do these exercises work all fibers and functions of the glute ? How do I customize this if I have one glute that is weaker ? Thanks for all your videos !
Hi Dr Jo, I am a subscriber and I want to thank you for your advice. I am at a level where I am doing one legged bridges. What I would like to know is when performing one or two legged bridges, is it more important to hold the bridge for as long as you can or is it more beneficial to do more of them.
Hello Doctor Jo. You have some great exercises videos that makes me want to do them all but I do have specific limitations for now. I was wondering if it’s ok to do these exercises if I have 2 herniated disks that are pinching my sciatic nerves?
Hi, I’m from the UK. I had a tumour (benign) attached to my right sacroiliac joint. To remove it involved major surgery. I have been left with a weakened, right sided glute, which causes pain along with lack of mobility. I would like to try these exercises. In this regard, and as my glute is so weak, what would you advise, please, to gradually strengthen? Many thanks
Dr. Jo Thanks for the great videos. I had lumbar surgery (no fusion, just cleaned up the foraminal channels to make room for nerves) My surgeon said squats are always bad, but these seem pretty safe....thoughts?
@@AskDoctorJo Surgery was 3 months ago. Went very well, feeling great, and he cleared me for all general exercise including light weight lifting and core strengthening (Great results with your videos for that as well). He just told me in general "No squats" but I think that is because I told him I used to lift heavy. I am very careful, and follow your videos to the "T" with great improvement. Keep the videos coming!
That's probably what he was thinking about "no squats," but seems a bit of an extreme comment to me :-) Glad you have found my videos helpful! Good luck with the rest of your recovery!
You can easily turn them off by hitting the "CC" button at the bottom of the video. You can also make them transparent if you'd like to keep them on. I show how to do all that and more in this video: th-cam.com/video/VatNBZh66Po/w-d-xo.html

How many days or weeks this has to be done.. I am a pro badminton player.. my maximus are the weakest.. and loose . So should I do all through the year .
Hi DoctorJo, I have snapping hip syndrome with my right hip. My physical therapist told me to do bridge exercise, but every time I do this with my legs about hip width apart, my right hip pops. It only stops popping when I do wide stance bridge, which I keep my feets wider than my hips then I can do it normally without popping. Is it harmful for my knees or hips if i keep doing bridge that way? Sorry for my bad English.

Thanks, and you're welcome. Each would be beneficial in a slightly different way, so mixing it up would be a good option to get benefits of both.
Tried the glute bridge last week, my hamstring started cramping up! Glutes too weak I guess? I also have a constant low back pain.
Could be. Also, moving the feet closer to the buttocks takes some stress off the hamstrings.
@@AskDoctorJo There you go. Will give it a try. Thanks for taking time to help out. God bless.
