    After the pandemic closed everything, lost my job and there I sat and sat and sat. Lots of tv, beer, cooking and eating. I didn't want to turn into a fat alcoholic, so I applied for job as a pizza delivery driver. That was almost 2 yrs ago. I get in and out of my car over 60 times a day on average. I only work a 5 hr shift and it has been wonderful! I am 73 yrs old and I am so grateful my body is doing great. The usual work pains, I'll wear a copper back brace for support if I need, I sleep in copper gloves, I wear copper socks and good sneakers and do all I can to support my wellbeing. I bake my own bread, make my own mayonnaise and eat homemade kimchee with most meals! Mahalo and Aloha from Maui!

    So important!! I do this exercise every day for 12 reps. I can now walk down my stairs confidently and normally. Also, I do Achilles and calf stretches. Helped so much. I didn’t realize all the muscles used to walk down the stairs need to be strong. Another exercise that really helped with my knees is practicing getting up off the floor. Very important for anyone with mobility issues. I have known people that have had to spend the night on their floor because they couldn’t get up. I’m only 67 😊 but I want to be sure I’m as strong as possible for the future. Yoga is a miracle worker for me also!

      Don't ignore daily long walk or at least 30 minutes.
      Am 71, swim 5/7 one hour each and never miss my daily walk that keeps me sleep good and strong. Even though I have arthritis on joints but that doesn't bother much and don't limit my activities.

      @@Hippy2021 I’m at the gym doing cardio all the time. The squats are for strength and keeping my bone mass. I love walking my dog in the neighborhood, and doing short running sprints. I swim in the summer and love it!

      yes , getting up off the floor. I practice this every day. I am 78 years old and fell over twice within ten days but I was fine, believe it or not, not even a scatch. A bit sore but thats all. I walk five km every day and can run 10 km. I am a bit wobbly on the stairs so am practicing balance exercises.

    I’m a Registered Nurse in the states. We use sit to stand testing to determine if an individual is at risk for falling. It is a determiner of strength and balance which are important to prevent falls. I’m 62 and while I’m active, I’m going to put reminders to preform daily sit to stand exercises, 3x5 daily as you said, in my 2024 calendar. So important!

    Thank you so much for this routine. I recovered from a quadriplegic stroke in December 2022 and had to learn how to start walking all over again.
    Your routine is like a soothing balm to my recovery process.

    Thank you again.

    Sit slowly, 4 seconds, leaning forward, silent touchdown.
    I'll watch this TH-cam as I do Sit to stand exercise.

    I wish that more seniors realized the benefit of strength training. It has been eight years since I got under a barbell, I'm presently 72 years old. Included in my routine are squats and trap bar dead lifts. If you train these diligently, getting up from a chair, is not a problem. The retention of your muscle mass is crucial for healthy aging, both metabolically and for functionality.

    I am not sure when you had also added doing this exercise on the out breath instead of while breathing in - such a great tip, thank you! As a professional calligrapher, flourishes are difficult to control and keep the motion smooth; we were taught to make the long flourishes while breathing out slowly - it WORKS!!! I have been mindful of rising from a chair without using my hands, but still struggle a bit with sitting down as slowly and in a controlled way as you show here!! My knees are painful in just the last couple of seconds of the sitting down action.....working on it!

    That was so enlightening thank you. I would never ever have thought that the knees together meant no hip action was being used. And also I remember my mum taking an age to get off her care home bed. After doing yoga for many years she stopped because of manic depression. So I bet you have to battle with many other factors in your job. Willingness to do it. And it’s proof of the saying ‘use it or loose it’ would that be right? Thanks again. Brilliant video.

    Thanks so much for this. I'm 87 and have had a lot of trouble getting up and down from the chair I'm using! I can manage getting up if I lean forward and put my hands on the floor for about 30 seconds. But sitting down without "letting go" and "bouncing" onto the chair cushion is a tough one. But, I'll keep trying to do the exercise you recommend.

    StStand reps are everything! The strength and stability gained is inordinate compared to the effort required. I’ve progressed to the point I do them in super slow motion, barely resting in the sit position. I have MS and this exercise alone upped my function tremendously. I don’t do them 3x a day.. but always daily, now up to two reps of 10. Thanks for spotlighting this super effective movement.

    Excellent video and information, you didn’t mention it, you just did it, keeping your head in line with your back, it’s also important not to throw the head back when rising from the chair.

    I do as you showed to stand up. But to sit down is difficult because one of my knees hurts a lot when I bend it. So I need a chair with armrests to sit down. Thank you for your advice, it is helpful.

    NEVER get out of a chair of any height using your arms. That simple rule will mean you are doing this ‘workout’ considerably more than 12 reps a day.

    I was a plopper when sitting but I practiced this technique and it truly works. I can now get up out of a chair without using my hands. And I can lower my bum with out plopping down. Thank you.

    I’m up to 15 reps 3x/day. In order to keep my knees from bending inward, I push them outwards as I push up. Gives more of a challenge. I was sad to see that my knees were doing that, but working to correct through strengthening. Involves the core nicely, too!

    Simple but valuable tips for the seniors, like me. Good if you cd also advise re use of weights in the hands or over the shoulder for increased resistance.

    Used to work for a family dr. An elderly man fell out of his wheelchair onto the floor. His elderly wife tried to help him and fell on top of him. So both of them lying on the floor on top of each other. The wife managed to phone dr’s office. Dr said phone the fire department to go and get them off the floor. My question is it possible to stay in a well enough shape beyond the age of 70 or 80 to get off of the floor?

      @M_SC 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      Yes. You have to maintain a healthy body weight and maintain muscle mass

    My chiropractor told me to do this 100-150 times a day. I said I need a trainer because I hate ugly lonely gyms, and he said just do this one exercise. I worked and sat everyday during COVID, I got weaker.
