Mike, Thanks for publishing your videos on TH-cam. I've had neck and back problems for much of my life. Gently exercising the stretches shown in your videos for over 3 months has dramatically reduced my neck and back pain. A very important aspect of your videos is to remember good head posture and to always keep the stomach tight while doing the exercises.Keeping the stomach tight strengthens the core in a non-evasive manner!! First, I do a couple of early morning back stretches. Next, I start my mornings by doing the simple posture exercises of this video. Then, I'll continue my morning regimen with one of your many other videos. Finally, I start my day with a healthy breakfast. I know I'll never be pain free, but your videos along with visits to my chiropractor makes life more tolerable and enjoyable.
Hi Mike and here is the exercise that I was looking for!!!!!! Thanks and God Bless you for all yr help giving seniors the encouragement to live healthy lives with the maximum movements possible!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Mike, I was in a lot of pain after my Breast OP and needed gentle exercises. Ever since I have come across your channel I have discovered that you don't need to of a mature age to enjoy your well prepared and well presented exercises. They are really versatile and adjustable to various fitness levels. Thank you so much .
I am building up to daily with this exercise. I find it's perfect for me-not too long or strenous so I dont dread doing thrm. VERY HELPFUL THANK YOU KINDLY 🙏❤
Thanks so much for this video. I have neen doing it daily for a few months and have notice tremendous change in my flexibility and posture. Confidence is another benefit. Toning as well. Thanks again.
I didn't do exercises for 2 days and just felt lost..like something was missing. I just completed 40 minutes of various 10 min. lower body, core and posture routines. I feel much better now and know I have done myself some good. Thank God for this wonderful free site. Thanks Mike!
Hi- I'm not even a senior yet, 49 in 3 weeks but I've been sedentary for too long because of multiple foot issues surgeries and CRPS, so I'm starting slow. Though my feet still need a lot of help, everything else is finally falling together and I've decided to not give up, be depressed and stay in bed. Thank you for your workouts, did 2 today and 2 of someone else's ( sorry! I like that you remind us to breathe cuz that's super important. My 3rd day and it takes 7 days to make a habit. I'm optimistic
Valuable to realise fitness is useful to balance when I thought it was all in the head. Mike and his training are so acceptable. I am a fussy subject but he is always clever But never annoying. Thankyou ,Thankyou.
Thank you, just found the perfect exercises for my 74 year old body , I’m enjoying them as well , fed up with videos for much younger these are mostly all doable 🤗
It's Agnes again am going to continue seriously all your stretches am sore all over bending down packing it's been.Hell but ypur stretches helps amazingly . Thanks to you Mike you are 💎 a life saver ..🙋
Great posture exercises in this video!! I am giving my R leg some rest as I sprained a muscle in the back of my R knee six days ago during the hamstring stretch. I was unable to bend my knee but no problem walking. It is very much better now, but decided to give it some rest. Thanks Mike for all the videos and God Bless!!!
Thanks Mike once again!! Enjoying all the exercise videos. I mix the various videos for the different parts of the body and enjoy them all!! God Bless!!
Agnes thank you so much! Easy and great for my life long poor posture that resulted in back injury. I’m ok now but aging at 65 and need to counter act the tendency to slouch!
Great exercises . Can't do the exercise where you put your leg on top of the other leg that hurts my knees. But rest of them no problem. I felt a different just doing it the one time. I'm 70 with arthritis and these exercises are doable. Thanks so much. 😊😊
Thank you for these exercises at present in having a lot of problem with my neck and lower back.I'm having an operation on Monday for a shoulder replacement and worried about my poor posture .
Thanks so much for making great videos , I just had a birthday lol not telling my age lol posture is so important when you get older lol but I’m not,Iike your average older person lol i flip tractor tires I do 70 lb dead lifts I run I try and keep in as good a shape as I can. Exercise is so important for everyone to do at any age, please keep posting love watching your videos
Just came across this routine, Mike. I truly enjoyed it and the surprise of something new to do! Nice, easy going, but effective little routine. Thanks loads!...Anastasia
just found you, looking for exercise, coz i've been sitting for years, and need to somehow realign myself so i can stand and walk a bit.. i very much regret giving into the pain and become so disabled
This is a great video for as my posture has changed drastically after too much 'walker' usage. Also, my legs have weakened from my pain situation with numerous spine problems and inability to stand for more than a few minutes at a time. Thank you!
Great to hear Nancy! Yes walkers can definitely lead to poor posture, and some of the common activities we do also do the same! Keep up what you're doing! Thanks for your comment!
Mike this is the 1st time I've done your posture exercise. I read a recent reply you gave to another senior with scapula pain, so I tried this. Are there any additional exercises you'd suggest....upper strengthening also?
Good exercize but U wish tou did not talk through every second. It is hard to have any thought of one's own, or to reflect on the exercise as it relates to one's own body. Monotone.

I have an artificial him replacement - is it ok to do the seated piriformus stretch?
Thank you. Jean
This was a brilliant exercise. First time for me. How many times should I be doing this.
I've just got my brother doing these workouts. 👍
Hey Pat. It depends on what other exercises you're doing, but if you're not doing too much, you can do these every day.
Thank you!!!
Great thanks
V.Good!
Very nice to fast for me
Mike this is the 1st time I've done your posture exercise. I read a recent reply you gave to another senior with scapula pain, so I tried this. Are there any additional exercises you'd suggest....upper strengthening also?
Yes strengthening the upper back with the row exercise specifically. and here is another posture video. th-cam.com/video/ml9ik3htY_w/w-d-xo.html
Is there an option if I can’t get my leg to cross over the other
How often should I do these exercises(69 old)
Can these be done every day
