Thank you Will for addressing people over the age of 50. Your exercises are very user friendly, easy and you explain the steps very well. My challenge is being consistent about doing the exercises. Our age group really need these exercises to keep us going and improve the quality of our lives. Take care.
I believe I would be almost dead by now without these exercises. I have serious health issues, and it's extremely difficult NOT to sit around. Your channel keeps me going.
I'm sorry to hear about the health issues you are experiencing - well done for the efforts you're taking to put my advice into practice - keep up the great work :)
Maybe take a look at the carnivore diet to ease/clear your health issues, it's doing wonders for me. It's quite a life shift but I'm finding the health and weight benefits amazingly helpful.
Just woke up at 24.30 with a slight pain in my left calf , tried your stretching advice ...can now go back to sleep By the way I'm 79.. your videos keep me alive.!! 3
Yes, I started to like his accent as well. Nice to listen to your thorough and concise explanations, Will . Always a pleasure to watch your very helpful and informative video.
Wow, you’re so right on these three! I am 50 and fitter than most (running, yoga, some strength training and very healthy eating) - but these are exactly the areas I already have had issues with. I am mich better when I work on all of these three regularly. Thank you so much! Great validation of my experience! PS: tried all your three exercises now. They are all very good but the shoulder move is spectacular! Very grateful to add that to my toolbox!
So pleased my video was able to validate what you've found out for yourself! Wishing you all the best and I hope these exercises can continue to offer benefit :)
Great job Will! I love the way you narrate and patiently explain every step. I can see that you love what you do! I have been feeling better mobility overall after following your exercise steps for over 50 people. Good job! thank you!
I am 68 years old and have been struggling with some hit pain over the last few years and after doing the first 2 stretches just a couple of times( I guess especially the second stretch), My hip pain has virtually been eliminated! Thank you so much! I have never really been big on stretching, But all that is starting to change!
Quite literally these three areas that you covered on this video are my three problem areas and all of these stretches are helpful, especially the shoulder one which I had no idea about. Thank you very much.
I appreciate your videos! Makes it simple in my mind to do a little something each day. It’s easy to be overwhelmed knowing there’s a ton of things I shld be doing. Your videos pop up and at least I’m motivated to follow and take action. Thank you!😊
I'm 57 years old and was hospitalized with an acute illness. I recovered, but by the time I got home, I lost a lot of muscle mass and my fitness and flexibility decreased significantly. I want to do something about it but I'm overwhelmed with where to start. Everything needs improving and it feels like an impossible situation to overcome.
Just knowing'a great start, you've alot of work ahead of you and no dought your body's starving for exercise. Keep at it regardless of how little, you've only to know how your life will be if you don't, everyday we hear of people who were so fit yet still had some big problem causing failure, no need to be a hero, I'm 63 and off to Newfoundland soon (I live in Montréal) where hubby's sure to marathon drag me around, I know I'll survive it's trying to communicate with the locals which instills fear 😱 in my soul! Best of luck keep at it failure isn't an option!
Lots of great workout videos on TH-cam from chair workouts, tai chi, dumbbell workouts, etc. 2 of my favorites are Denise Austin and Fitbymik. I also do a sitting dumbbell workout at my desk at work . Just start slow and you’ll build your strength back before you know it.
I was in a similar situation at 59. I lost so much muscle I could barely walk and my energy was completely depleted after just a few steps. It was 4 years before I felt really fit again (I am now back to playing competitive sport), working regularly with my physios and my personal trainer from really baby steps. Just do what you can, a little at a time to improve strength, flexibility, mobility and agility. Sometimes it feels like it's 2 steps forward and 3 backwards, but with patience (and kindness to yourself) and perseverance, you will get there. Don't give up, you will get there!
Good to hear ur feeling better. De-conditioning is soooo easy. Muscles take months to develop but only days to lose. It sux. But one day at a time, sml steps, sml goals n dont lose heart, good luck💜🤞🙏
finding your 3 exercises is precisely what i needed to adjust these 3 areas. like to think of you as a star connection of the universe as you’re bright light shown in today; thank you for your service and attention to inspire others for good. an example to be followed
That second one is the interesting one because I see that so often when people walk around in a slightly bent forward position and usually they have lower back issues so this makes perfect sense and I never knew that
My husband had this at 65, he did the saline injection (puff up) which helped, he only did one side too as stuff went all through his system! Also beware too much TV sitting leads to rounded shoulders (his prob) as they'll eventually curl in!
I've been carrying out that calf stretch as part of my regime to treat a bout of plantar fasciitis I contracted on holiday so it's nice to know I've been listening to what you've been saying since I started watching your videos😂
I'm sorry to hear about your plantar fasciitis but pleased my advice came at a useful time! I hope you don't encounter any more issues, but just in case, my channel is always here!
Thank you. So much.I have Plantar fasciatis in my right foot For many years. The first scratching In the video. Did miracle immediately I feel much better can walk more comfortably. I will continue this regularly.
Brilliant: crystal clear, informative and easy to follow. Bought Will's book THRIVING BEYOND FIFTY and that is my movement bible alongside his 3-TIP FRIDAY. Thank you Will hopefully you will change my mobility and thus my life, Susi
Thank you for your support of my work, I'm thrilled you've found my content helpful - I wish you all the best with your mobility and keep up the great efforts you've already been making :)
Thanks so much for the great videos. Every one I have watched has been quite instructive and easy to understand and follow. I’m a retired Physician Assistant and I appreciate and admire your clinical references to the benefits of the exercises and the problems that develop when they are not done. I am 72 years old and have many debilities because of sdvanced arthritis in my back, shoulder and hips. So learning from your videos have been both motivating and therapeutic. Thanks again.
So pleased my videos have been helpful - I think it's important that I explain the theory behind my suggestions to allow individuals to make informed choices about their care - I hope my channel can continue to offer support and motivation for you :)
Haven't worked on calves since plantar fascitus 4 years ago. Boy are they tight now - only managed 20 secs so will do some 3-4 times a day. Hip flexors/quads are tight/painful down the front so I sure need those. I'll look up quads, sure you'll have done video on those or in your book. Then at last an exercise of yours I don't think I need - no problem with shoulder rotation, a part of me that works normally, I feel like celebrating! Really appreciate your help Will, thank you.💚
Plantar fasciitis really sucks. I have flare ups, and they really limit activety. No running at all, and even walking can be a challenge. I also have tight calves and hamstrings. I've always had those tight muscles. And it seems that plantar fasciitis and tight calves could be related.
Thank you! I'm right on to it now and feel alot of tightness on my calf, doing this stretch on a daily basis will align and help positively in my walking . Appreciated!❤
With your third suggestion for shoulder mobility, is it okay to put pillows under ones neck. I noticed you are able to hold your head up throughout the stretch.
Ive trained the 65 plus crowd for the last 15 years. I was pleasantly surprised when you started with the calf stretch. I do this first with every client. I see poor dorsiflection affecting their balance the most. Wrist and ankles. I cannot emphasize enough. Good video!!
and when 50+ becomes 65+ stretching becomes even more important. I stretch calfs (calves?) and hamstrings every morning and still some mornings my feet feel seized going downstairs though strangely they think they are ok to run a short distance with the dog an hour or too later. For shoulders, chests, arms i would recommend exercise bands. Mine are outdoors on a hook in all seasons are are only just starting to deteriorate after about 3 or 4 years. I think my shoulders are better now (and said dog led to one rotator cuff injury when he was younger).. Check the displays at Decathlon if theres one near you to work out what resistence level you want.
Fantastic! The hip flexor stretch has been a game-changer for me over the past couple of years. I have very tight hips with IT band and piriformis issues, and this helps with all of these areas. This is the BEST channel! I'm 51 and loving it! Thank you!!!
These 3 stretches really make me feel that I am actually training my muscles. I have long time problems with achilles tendonitis. The calve stretch is one I have done many times before but now I realise never the way Ishould have. Bending the front knee makes all the difference. Wow! Great video. Thanks!!
Will thank you for explaining how if we don’t breathe possibly when exercising that a message is sent to brain which tells it to block and thus cause strain on the particular exercise. So helpful indeed Tks
Absolutely!! Great video 💯 Not stretching my calves before and after running led me to developing Haglund's Deformity; a nasty, painful bonespur where the Achilles meets the heal. Had I done the stretches, I'd avoided a lot of misery. That said, I'm stretching my calves, hamstrings, and hips every day, and although I still have the bonespur, it no longer hurts!
Do you have any tips or exercises for Fibromyalgia? I'm 61 have celiac disease which has caused osteopenia on the cusp of osteoporosis. The Fibromyalgia really is painful at times and any relief that doesn't include medications would be wonderful. As always, another WONDERFUL video of simple ways to prevent injury, aches and pains. Your are my rock for these needs when it comes to staying mobile and active ❤
I have a right Hand and right lleg knee pain. Tq. for these strengthening exercises. 🙏 I had Carpal Tunnel right hand surgery & right thumb surgery last year. Now I have right toe finger pain. Tendons pain always Give me your kind suggestion.
Thank you SO much for sharing such valuable instructional information. Your presentations are extremely well done, with detailed guidance. Outstanding!!!., I purchased your book from Amazon. I am confident this will be an invaluable resource to help me exercise and remain physically active as I age. Thank you very much. Kind Regards, Joe
THANK YOU . I need to learn to value , treasure , take care and maintain my muscles which I have taken for granted . Is it possible that your stretches increase the density and quality of mitochondria in our muscles ?
Very informative video. When you name the part of the body, it would be helpful to have those labels on the screen, just a suggestion to further improve your already great videos. Thanks.
@@judithhackney6891 Hi there I have the following video on osteoporosis exercises which you may find interesting :) th-cam.com/video/hOMEuX4yF1o/w-d-xo.html
Can't hold my neck comfortably at the right angle to perform the shoulder stretch. Can I rest my head on something? Or will it detract from the stretch effectiveness? Love your exercises😊 With time I hope to add to a complete daily routine Thanks
Are there exercises to preserve vocal cords. My voice started getting rougher over a year. I have excellent doctors and specialists. None came up with vocal cord atrophy. They did refer me to an ENT who did a laryngoscopy and diagnosed vocal atrophy. I can't be understood on the phone. I asked her about ths cause - old was her 1st answer. I have complex but not debilitating health problems that may have also contributed to tbe problem.i am fortunate that the hospital where I receive most of my care has a voice clinic with ENTs and physios providing care. There are exercises that can help (and prevent) deterioration. I never knew tbis was a problem before it got bad. Apparently doctors don't think about it if you have long term deteriorating hoarseness. I know age changes the body but as your videos show, it can be delayed
I have MS and it affects my entire left side, tightening the muscles, awful spasticity which I believe is partly the cause for my L5 S1 bulging disc. No matter what exercises I do, the bulging disc is not healing.

Glad I stumbled across your video. I’m 62 and these stretches are most needed by me for sure.
I hope they prove beneficial for you!
I appreciate your videos! Makes it simple in my mind to do a little something each day. It’s easy to be overwhelmed knowing there’s a ton of things I shld be doing. Your videos pop up and at least I’m motivated to follow and take action. Thank you!😊
Absolutely - it's important to focus on small and manageable steps, so that you don't feel overwhelmed and stop! Keep up the great work :)
I recently started following you. Your videos are full of practical exercise ideas and they work! Thank you! I just ordered your book, too. 😘
Thank you for supporting my book, I really appreciate it, I hope you find it packed full of useful and interesting tips!
Another great video. I’m a new fan of all of your videos. Thank you!

Can you swim? Swimming will allow you to build muscle in the whole body and buoyancy helps when you are weaker. Then move to exercise out of pool
I was in a similar situation at 59. I lost so much muscle I could barely walk and my energy was completely depleted after just a few steps.

Excellent shoulder assist exercise. I literally use my left hand to pull a shirt or jacket off due to restrictions with my right shoulder.
I enjoy your videos quite helpful. I like the way you show different angles it makes a big difference 👍
I seriously need these stretches because I have these problems. I'm so happy I came across videos. Thank you❤

I walk about 5 km a day and i have noticed my calf has become stronger.
Excellent video. Thanks for clearly showing where those muscles are - love the red circles

For me tight calves cause shin splints, hamstring issues and low back issues. Loosen them and fix four other issues minimum
Excellent Will ty . Really felt the calf stretches
Fantastic! The hip flexor stretch has been a game-changer for me over the past couple of years. I have very tight hips with IT band and piriformis issues, and this helps with all of these areas. This is the BEST channel! I'm 51 and loving it! Thank you!!!
excellent selection, thank-you, Will
You're very welcome :)
Great video, big help, thank you young man!
Thank you! I will do the exercises!
Wishing you all the best!
OMG! I didn’t realize how tight my hip flexor muscles were! Thank you, Sir!
Great videos and excellent content
Glad you like them!
These 3 stretches really make me feel that I am actually training my muscles. I have long time problems with achilles tendonitis. The calve stretch is one I have done many times before but now I realise never the way Ishould have. Bending the front knee makes all the difference. Wow!
Great video.
Thanks!!
So pleased my video was able to help you maximise the benefits of this stretch!

Will thank you for explaining how if we don’t breathe possibly when exercising that a message is sent to brain which tells it to block and thus cause strain on the particular exercise. So helpful indeed Tks
So pleased my video was able to provide some interesting information!
Did this tonight while waiting for veg to cook. Good exercise. Really feel it .
Roll on tomorrow when l can do some more.
I have acute osteoarthritis should I still try these stretches. I can bend my knee quite a bit though
These are so helpful and explain my back apt issue !
Pleased I could shed some light on what you're experiencing!
Thank for this info
You're very welcome
Thank you ! These exercises are really very useful!
So pleased to hear they're useful!
Thank you Will, happy i found you.
I'm pleased you found my channel too!
Absolutely!! Great video 💯
Not stretching my calves before and after running led me to developing Haglund's Deformity; a nasty, painful bonespur where the Achilles meets the heal. Had I done the stretches, I'd avoided a lot of misery.
That said, I'm stretching my calves, hamstrings, and hips every day, and although I still have the bonespur, it no longer hurts!
I'm so sorry to hear about your bone spur, but it's great to hear you're no longer experiencing pain from it! Keep up what you're doing :)
So useful - thank you
Happy to help!
Great stretches...!

I just turned 49 and im going thru changes but im going to try to do the work to stay healthy
Every little helps!
thanks for sharing these easy stretching
It's my pleasure to share!
Obligatory, but not mentioned: the soleus stretch is made by bending the knee slightly
I´d recommend if you do a lot of running & lifting that you do these regardless of age..
Those hip flexor stretches are goodies. That area can be problematic for me. Also my hammies.
I really felt it in my hip flexors! Thanks for the info.
THANK YOU . I need to learn to value , treasure , take care and maintain my muscles which I have taken for granted . Is it possible that your stretches increase the density and quality of mitochondria in our muscles ?
Very informative video. When you name the part of the body, it would be helpful to have those labels on the screen, just a suggestion to further improve your already great videos. Thanks.

I have MS and it affects my entire left side, tightening the muscles, awful spasticity which I believe is partly the cause for my L5 S1 bulging disc. No matter what exercises I do, the bulging disc is not healing.
