    Had a bad back and physio wants me to increase my core strength so these are great and not to difficult to do at 73

    Been doing this every morning for about 6 months now.
    My back pain has resolved and my inguinal hernia seems to have disappeared.
    I guess core exercises strenghtens abdominal wall?
    The doctor and surgeon both said inguinal hernias won't cure without surgery at some point.
    Obviously worth trying light exercise like this video first
    as it definitely giving positive results.
    I've done it so much now I have more or less memorised the sequence.

    In my experience, core strength is crucial in control of bladder and bowel. Bladder and bowel loss ( leakage) are often an issue as we age, specifically for those of us with chronic disease. Thank you guys for making the exercises fun !

    Hey, these are good, not necessarily just for Seniors. For a busy person that can only dedicate so much time per day you know. Already do treadmill and yoga everyday. I am extremely busy and sparing 8 minutes is doable. You guys are the best, I swear.

    Thank you for doing this! I'm 62, had a thalamic stroke last year and now struggle to walk without a cane. Not being able to walk put a dent on my exercise. I can walk in my pool unaided but that's it. I live in Costa Rica and there aren't many options for pt here for this. 5 hours away in San Jose there is. The chair exercises I am finding so helpful, bless you for making them free on the internet! Some of the paid programs online to too difficult, but not this, even with no balance I can easily do all of these

    I'm a "junior senior", but with back pain and losing muscle tone it's been hard to follow doc's instructions to get certain exercises working. The core work has been the hardest to incorporate. Thank you so much for this video!

    August 2022, I clicked on an ad on Facebook advertising seated core exercises for seniors. It was an online course, which I imagine would be costly. They had a TH-cam video which I decided to watch on TH-cam rather than their website. So glad I did because TH-cam showed me your video for the same thing! I can do these core exercises without having to pay for that class course. Thanks Bob & Brad!

I've told my PT instructor that I have integrated some of your exercises with his and he said that was perfect because that's exactly what I needed. So thank you very much have a happy New Year guys to you your family and two this community

    I was looking for exercises for a friend that can’t easily get down on the floor to do exercises and this video definitely has some great ideas. I did the exercises myself to see how effective they were and found them to be a great substitute for ab work without straining my neck. You guys are my go-to resource to learn new ways of doing exercises. Thanks for all you do to educate your viewers. Also, I recommend you to people all the time. 👍

    "windshield wiper" exercise helps the snyonvial fluid in our hips. I need ALLLLL the help my poor, painful hips can get!

    Love your informative videos, as well as entertaining. You do make me laugh. I'll be 86 the day before Thanksgiving and am still very independent. Been watching and working on my posture. As long as I stand up straight, which I am working on, I have no pot belly. It is only when I slough. Also need to work on balance. I try to eat healthy by reducing carbs, no pasta, beans, potatoes, but some bread low in carbohydrates, on occasion sweet potato and pizza. Found pizza with a crust made from squash at Costco, not bad. When the weather is hot I go to a mall to walk (without stopping to look in stores). I am a fast walker.

While watching the video, I gave it a few tries, but that area is still vulnerable for me. But I want to put a comment in a previous video that you presented for lumbar injuries! I tried it and it worked! I even got the feeling back in my legs and feet!
