This is very good video. I think you should add a dead hang to that list of 5. It keeps the torso stretched and straightened, keeps shoulders from locking, and helps with grip grip strength.
I'm 94, and I work out 4 times a week. 3 sets of 25 push-ups, 65 lbs of squats, and I walk 2 miles every other day . I have been working out since I was a teenager.
I am 80. I have been progressing in the gym for the past two years and will be participating in my first weight lifting competition in February. I was diagnosed 3 years ago with osteopenia. My last physical revealed I have increased bone density by 7% and now have a " normal" bone density report!! This stuff works 😊
Wow Joanne! That is very impressive! 👏 Thank you for sharing that with this community! Exercise really does work! All the best with your weight lifting competition! keep me posted. I'd love to hear back!
I'm 70, and I'm fitter, more active, and more creative than I was in my 20s and 30s - and that's after being disabled for 20 years, mostly housebound and bedridden! I got off all medications and began taking control of my health, listening to my body, and facing old trauma and grief I'd mostly repressed. I literally went from crawling some days - my blood pressure was so dangerously low - to dancing. I too found my muscles began to increase after 3 months of weightlifting, but i also do yoga, Chi Gong, and always -- lots of dancing. It's great to hear about people even older beating their own records too! Thanks for the video, these exercises look good.
At 52 shattered hip and pelvis, 10 broken ribs broken right shoulder bruised lungs and bruised femur. Over 100,000 push-ups and 100,000 pull-ups 100,000 air squats hours and hours of cardio 90 percent healed almost ready for anything again. Hopefully gives ya some motivation. The main key is consistency and never give be determined.
Wow! That is truly impressive and also very inspiring! Thank for sharing with me and the community here! Not easy to stay consistent after such an accident. Wishing you the best in your health!
Prayer does nothing but make you “feel” good. Actions provide results. If you believe there’s a God, and you believe there’s prayer, then you should know that God doesn’t force anyone to do anything they don’t want to do. The individual has to make that choice for themselves. No one else can help them. You have to want it… until you do, nothing will ever change in your life.
the need for "feeling good" vs the avoiding of "feeling bad" is imbued in every living beings' nervous system. to fix the addiction for feeling good, the first thing to do is change environment and find friends that don't lecture but got out of this loophole themselves.
Keep praying God will open a path for your son to find healing out of addiction. My son went to university and new friends gave him drugs to share then he got addicted, he finished two law degrees UK and America and wasted 10 years of his young life , nearly died and after ten years of praying and struggles to save my son ,Allah finally answered my prayers in the process I changed forever, and learnt how to pay attention to our son's emotional pain . Please god answers parents prayers Trusting in god under all outcomes. I pray god helps you and your son find healing.
Great advice. I'm 67, with major back problems from bottom to top and all the associated pain. Three years ago, 40 lbs overweight, with heart problems, I decided to get back in the gym after 20 years of lethargy. Best thing I ever did. I went from 40% fat to 17%. After a body composition test, I was told I had the muscle profile of a 35 year old athlete. Shocked me. Oh yeah, and all my pain? Virtually disappeared. Heart problems? Gone. Today, I can do most anything any 35 year old 'buff dude' can do. I feel better and more capable than when in my 30's, Three years ago I couldn't even begin to do a single pull up. Today I can do 15 pullups with my legs extended in front of me at 90 degrees. The other day a very in shape 20 year old guy tried to imitate me and he couldn't do it. Something must be working! I also look so much better (an added bonus). It's nice having people say 'Wow, you are in great shape!' For all those who think they're doomed to 'suffer' in later life, there is hope. But you won't find it sitting in your recliner. The key is CONSISTENCY. Start slow and remember, we don't fail due to a lack of desire but rather a lack of COMMITMENT. Get off your butt and amazing things can happen!
That is truly an inspiring and impressive story! Thank you for sharing that with me and the community! Of course everyone's pain and condition is different, but I agree with your point of small and consistent efforts, especially towards exercise! This is the one thing that differentiates many people. However, I do have to say..it can take months, even YEARS to find the right plan to be consistent on..if that makes sense? Exercise + mindfulness worked really well for my back pain as well, but it took me 4-5 years to discover the right type and the right intensity for my body.
@@MindBodyHorizons Thanks, I totally agree, we're all different, but again, consistency is key. Whatever approach you take, even if simply walking 30 minutes every day, will have good results if done consistently. In my case, I started slowly yet progressively added difficulty into my workouts. What stops most people from achieving success is they begin doing too much, get sore and then swear off exercise. I see it most every day-- so called 'trainers' working with obese and old people, having them do things that they are virtually incapable of doing. I seldom ever see those people come back. That's a tragedy. We have to remember, we didn't get old and out of shape in a day, month or ever year, but we CAN be the best we can be if properly motivated.
I'll be 64 in December. I work out 4 times a week and do cardio. My leg routine is lunges, leg press, squats wit a 20 lb weight and leg extensions. Bottom line - YOU HAVE TO KEEP MOVING PEOPLE!!!!
I will be 77 next month. I do 25 miles of running, 60 miles of cycling, 12 miles of walking, and 4 hours of weight lifting each week. My goal is to beat everyone over 65 years old in running races. This video shows good exercises. I make squats more challenging by putting 200 pounds on my back.
I always got inspired by people older than me, I am still mountain biking with a 78 years old (I am 60) who was my inspiration 20+ years ago. I congratulate you for having an active lifestyle. I never enjoyed competition, I never enjoyed winning or losing so I cannot understand the enjoyment of it but if yo do, good for you. However, I do enjoy staying in touch with my toys including bicycles, skies, trail running shoes, guitar and lakes when I go camping so exercising everyday is a must for keeping up with my toys! Being healthy requires moving and unfortunately because we lost that normal and natural lifestyle, we have to relearn it.
Shrey Vazir, it’s important to retract shoulder blades while in the down position of push-ups, and protract shoulders when in the up position, or else one might feel a muscle spasm in the inner scapula the next day.
Most elderly people have problems getting up off the floor. As a child you spend a lot of time on the floor, adults do not. Doing yoga / stretching exercises on the floor can improve balance, mobility, flexibility and the ability to get up and down.. Just getting up and down to the floor in a controlled manner is difficult for many older adults. Play with your children on the floor. Bend over, get down and pull weeds in your garden. Play with a pet on the floor. The more effort you make to work on balance and flexibility will pay dividends as you age.
I tell people that want to lose weight that if they just laid down then got up, five times in the morning and five times later in the day, they would see a lot of benefit including their weight loss. For something so simple. It takes a lot of muscles and energy just to get up off the floor which is why you see teammates in sports help each other up so they can conserve their strength.
You bring up a great point! It sometimes comes down to "Use it, or Lose it". As adults, we really don't go down to the floor as much and then we lose the flexibility/strength required to do so later. Thanks for bringing this up
True. I just started getting down on floor and back up from laying. Be SAFE always and go slow. Also don’t use momentum. ; ) PS try the old person’s test: get fully un/dressed bottom to top while standing and use little help as possible. Again SAFELY. Ego can land us on our butt or worse. 😊
I test myself in this periodically by getting down on the floor and getting up off the floor without using my hands. At 63yo, it's not as easy as it used to be! ☺️
76 last august, I walk for 1 hour every morning before breakfast, attend yoga lessons once a week, do ski training for 4 to 5 hours a week and work as a ski instructor 2 to 3 days a week
Thank you! I use to do workout videos back in the 80s and 90s and I remember how hard they were but I did them every day and alot of these excersizes are what you showed. It's been 30 years since, going to the gym is a chore and like I said, these home floor excersize videos can get you into the best shape ever . The comment you said in the beginning really stuck with me. Don't worry about quantity do consistency and then you increase and it does reverse aging of the muscles. If you don't use them you lose them.
Great content! Exercises are perfect but the lighting, animations and visuals, audio, editing and the entire presentation are first rate and very professional. TH-camrs could learn a lot from these production values. Good audio is an essential element in video and your diction and pacing are superb. Many older people have difficulty hearing and slowed comprehension and you seem to understand that. I would love to know the details of your microphone if willing to share. Well done Shrey. Enough of this sitting. I’m going for a brisk Toronto walk. Now!!
Thank you so much Robert, for the kind words :) Glad you enjoyed the video. And of course, I'm using a simple wireless lav mic. I believe mine is hollyland? Also, Toronto walks are the best! I am just about to go for one in Kensington Market! Cheers !
@@MindBodyHorizons I was just going to say what Robert said. One of the most professional and "followable" videos I've seen. Showing perfect form, using just the right graphics, and explaining everything so clearly was a joy to watch. I'm "only" 67, but having survived over 30 broken bones, more than 30 surgeries (19 on the spine after rear ended by an 18-wheeler) the docs said I'd be in a wheelchair by 2007. I'm probably in better shape than 20 years ago thanks to PT.
This is such an eye-opening video! I've been struggling with muscle loss as I age, but these exercises seem practical and easy to follow. Thank you for explaining everything in such detail, especially the benefits of squats and the glute bridge!
Wonderful delivery and explanations, by far the best that I have come across from a physiotherapist. Thank you! Please keep providing these 🙏🏻 Also… exercises for severe osteoporosis please…. 😊
Thank you so much for the kind words :) And absolutely! Osteoporosis is another topic I will be making a video on..perhaps in the next few weeks. Thanks again, Shrey
Great. Thanks. I am 80. Just had hip replacement surgery 7 weeks ago. Doing well. Walking about 2/ 3 mile. In doing these valuable exercises, is it best to do all every day or do every other day by group areas. To give time to heal/build? Thanks again. I think this is just what I need.
That is a great question! This something I should have touched on in the video. Thank you for asking. Without getting into too much detail: For most strengthening exercises, my suggestion would be to start 2-3x per week! This is recommended by most physical activity guidelines. This allows enough recovery time in between exercise days for the muscles to relax/heal/build. Now the way you structure your week is really dependent on your schedule! May you can do 1 day for all leg exercises (1x per week). Then 2nd day for upper body (1x per week) 3rd day for core (1x per week)? But this is just one example of a workout plan. It can really vary! I hope that helps.
I'm 58 years old and i do 3 exercises for the last 10 years. 1. 4 sets push up 15-25 reps per set. 2. 6-8 set shadow boxing 5-7 minutes per set. 3. 4-6 set squat 15-20 reps each set. If you can learn properly on how to shadow box. I tell you that it is very tough.
Great! Am 50,but the physique l present with is like that of one in 20 s or 30 s evidenced by my indurance , posture and in-deed built. I do well even amongst younger guys at the gym.This video gives me more motivation to eat,drink and excersise well to delay aging.
Tried to follow this routine. Couldn't keep up with the weekly 20% workload increments after week-5 for the reverse lunges. My knees really hurt for many days afterwards. I think I'll keep my workload at week-4 for that one, and keep progressing with the other 4 movements until they become difficult. I'm in my 60s. Thanks!❤
The best program by far, which he is replicating is the RCAF 5BX. 5 basic exercises and then a short run and quick 2 mile walk. But it is 72 levels and you get stronger and better cardio Slow and Steady. The "Golden Rule". This program was developed in 1958 and every person over 50 should be on it. Fantastic.
Great Video. My wife and I (71 and 72) already work out and want to up our investment in anti-aging exercise. We will add these exercises and report how things go over the next 90 days! Yay, a new adventure! 🏃🏼♂
I appreciate that you show different levels and ways to work up to it 👍 Especially the assisted squats. It’s easy to quit when you can’t even do the exercise. It’s encouraging to see how to work up to it 😊
Also, saw something recently that a little-known exercise to help reduce rapid aging is grip strength, and to work on that. Does seem vital to keep that intact.
I have a cartilage and meniscus tear in my right inside part of my knee. Could you suggest some exercises to recover from this. I am 46 years of age and I live in New Delhi, India.
I am 74, and have done regular exercise and/or sports about 85%+ of my adult life. Like most, I have had my fair share of soft tissue and back issues for quite sometime; however, we can adapt our activities to accommodate our injuries. For example, when my back would no longer allow me to run for cardio training, I took up peloton cycling for 20 years. When my back said no more riding, I took up walking. For the last 20 years, I have walked (2-5 miles daily), completed core work/stretching (45 minutes daily), and maintained a "toy" weight routine (twice a week). To the questioner that asked how long did it take to do 100,000 pushups--it sounds like a lot, but if you have a steady routine for years, you will have many, many more. Pushups were my favorite exercise for about 45 years; unfortunately about 11 years ago, I found that it was really aggravating my lower back issue. So I created a different routine, which included the bench press instead of pushups to essentially work most of the same basic muscle groups. One suggestion for those that are in my age category or perhaps 10 years younger, really warm up before any type of exercise whether stretching, core, sport, and/or weights. For the author of the video, Shrey Vazir, I agree with everything you included in your video. Each of us is physically and physiologically different, but the principles of your 5 steps is very well-grounded from my experience. Thanks for sharing valuable, correct information. Just remember, "Move it or lose!"
Hi there,I'm 65 and a bit active but I have a right knee problem which becomes more painful when I do squats and lunges What do you advise/suggest I do?
Thanks you so much for this! The video is very clear. I suffered from an ankle sprain 11 weeks ago but however, I am still suffering from discomfort and pain, would you mind making a video on physiotherapy exercises for recovering from ankle sprain? Thanks!
Try yoga. TH-cam has plenty of beginner, easy flow yoga, and some for sore muscles. I started it about 4 years ago as I have a neck injury and back issues, plus fibromyalgia. I couldn't walk long distances as it triggered pain. I'm never going to advance, but the easy flow and stretch yoga makes me considerably more flexible than most people who are 60. Give it a go. If you feel pain, stop and check with a Dr. Expect to feel some discomfort on occasion. Good luck.
That is a great suggestion! Thanks for sharing with the community. As someone with chronic back pain (also diagnosed with Fibromyalgia at age 21), I have heavily relied on Yoga for many years! I've seen it do wonders for many of my patients as well - but again, it might not be for everyone and I would definitely check with a physio/doctor first!
As much as I love to do push-ups, unfortunately, I cannot do them right now because I have tendonitis in one of my wrists, so I do planks. And then I do floor wipers which is basically you are laying on your back and you are bringing your legs up and down in a hinge motion. And then what you do is swing your legs back and forth like a pendulum
This is a great video and so well delivered! I'm doing these every morning and feel great. Core strength is SO important. I also do a regime of fast walking for 40 minutes most days plus a few other exercises / low level weights to tone up. It works!
Thank you so much for sharing this information and even demonstrating the exercises. Bless you. I am 75 and due to laziness, I have allowed my body to seriously deteriorate. Now that I have determined to become stronger and healthier, I have been looking for a simple but very effective exercise program to strengthen my muscle. This is just perfect. Thank you so much for making this video. You have given me a plan I can follow and recover some of the strength, flexibility and energy I once had.
Really well done video. 👌 Very practical and helpful advice that resonates with your viewers! My understanding is that incorporating weight lifting (even lightweight) as well as routine walking/hiking for 30 minutes + (preferably on trails with elevation changes and some uneven terrain (with hiking sticks for balance support) can also be key to longevity and maintaining balance.
I really appreciate your video. In my experience, consistency is key. It has to become a habit, and ideally also enjoyable. I try to prioritize taking the time and space I need to care for my own needs. 15 minutes a day, every day. I use it for different strength- streching- and breathing exercises. I am still getting older but I feel good about myself.
I strongly feel you should strike crunches and replace with an overhead hanging exercise. Possible hanging knee raises or even a regression of that if it’s too difficult. Hang time directly correlates (negatively) with hip fracture incidence.
Hi Shrey Vazir I am 65 years old, Female. Last August 2024, I was diagnosed with spondylolisthesis Grade 1 anterolisthesis of L3 on L4 vertebrae without pars defact. My question is " Can I perform your Back excercises on this clip video, especially the modified crunch/curl up and glute bridge? " Appreciates I am looking forward to getting your feed back soon! Thanks Oh! I did enjoy your 3 steps climbing up stair

Great video, beautifully delivered - simple & on point. Many thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks
Thank you so much! This is very kind and generous of you :)
You are really good in your delivery
Thank you so much for your kind words 😊
Great delivery and explanation. Thank you for sharing 🎉🎉
Thank you so much for the kind words! Hope it helps
I am sixty eight, I have been doing weights for a long time now but recently have also started boxing.
Great content! Exercises are perfect but the lighting, animations and visuals, audio, editing and the entire presentation are first rate and very professional. TH-camrs could learn a lot from these production values. Good audio is an essential element in video and your diction and pacing are superb. Many older people have difficulty hearing and slowed comprehension and you seem to understand that. I would love to know the details of your microphone if willing to share. Well done Shrey. Enough of this sitting. I’m going for a brisk Toronto walk. Now!!
Thank you so much Robert, for the kind words :) Glad you enjoyed the video. And of course, I'm using a simple wireless lav mic. I believe mine is hollyland? Also, Toronto walks are the best! I am just about to go for one in Kensington Market! Cheers !
@@MindBodyHorizons I was just going to say what Robert said. One of the most professional and "followable" videos I've seen. Showing perfect form, using just the right graphics, and explaining everything so clearly was a joy to watch. I'm "only" 67, but having survived over 30 broken bones, more than 30 surgeries (19 on the spine after rear ended by an 18-wheeler) the docs said I'd be in a wheelchair by 2007. I'm probably in better shape than 20 years ago thanks to PT.
This is such an eye-opening video! I've been struggling with muscle loss as I age, but these exercises seem practical and easy to follow. Thank you for explaining everything in such detail, especially the benefits of squats and the glute bridge!
Wonderful delivery and explanations, by far the best that I have come across from a physiotherapist. Thank you! Please keep providing these 🙏🏻
Also… exercises for severe osteoporosis please…. 😊
Thank you so much for the kind words :)
And absolutely! Osteoporosis is another topic I will be making a video on..perhaps in the next few weeks. Thanks again,
Shrey
Agreed , you cannot reverse aging but can increase your quality of life ❤
❤thanks for sharing. I'm over 50 and need the motivation badly. I'm a vegetarian for 18 months now and begin to feel weak in my body
You need animal protein that's why you feel weak. Stop the vegetarian nonsense.
you need to insure you're getting adequate plant based protein
Great. Thanks. I am 80. Just had hip replacement surgery 7 weeks ago. Doing well. Walking about 2/ 3 mile. In doing these valuable exercises, is it best to do all every day or do every other day by group areas. To give time to heal/build? Thanks again. I think this is just what I need.
That is a great question! This something I should have touched on in the video. Thank you for asking.
Without getting into too much detail: For most strengthening exercises, my suggestion would be to start 2-3x per week! This is recommended by most physical activity guidelines. This allows enough recovery time in between exercise days for the muscles to relax/heal/build.
Now the way you structure your week is really dependent on your schedule!
May you can do 1 day for all leg exercises (1x per week). Then 2nd day for upper body (1x per week) 3rd day for core (1x per week)? But this is just one example of a workout plan. It can really vary!
I hope that helps.
@@MindBodyHorizons. Yes. Thanks much!
Great video and information. Your delivery is excellent. 👏👍
I'm 58 years old and i do 3 exercises for the last 10 years. 1. 4 sets push up 15-25 reps per set. 2. 6-8 set shadow boxing 5-7 minutes per set. 3. 4-6 set squat 15-20 reps each set. If you can learn properly on how to shadow box. I tell you that it is very tough.
Have you ever defeated the shadow?
@@ελευθερία-ε2ο It's a win every time you complete your exercises.
@@doldi5400 😆 just messing with you. Great job 👏
@@ελευθερία-ε2ο😎🥲👍
Love it! That's a solid plan that covers most muscle groups + cardio. I used to do a boxer's jump rope technique, and I have to admit, it is TOUGH!
This is exactly what I was looking for! Simple and effective exercises, thank you😍
Great! Am 50,but the physique l present with is like that of one in 20 s or 30 s evidenced by my indurance , posture and in-deed built. I do well even amongst younger guys at the gym.This video gives me more motivation to eat,drink and excersise well to delay aging.
Great video! So much valuable information!
Thank you so much. Having a short list of the necessary exercises is very motivating.
Tried to follow this routine. Couldn't keep up with the weekly 20% workload increments after week-5 for the reverse lunges. My knees really hurt for many days afterwards. I think I'll keep my workload at week-4 for that one, and keep progressing with the other 4 movements until they become difficult. I'm in my 60s.
Thanks!❤
Watched this video again and realized I only needed to do one set of reverse lunges, not two. 😂
The best program by far, which he is replicating is the RCAF 5BX. 5 basic exercises and then a short run and quick 2 mile walk. But it is 72 levels and you get stronger and better cardio Slow and Steady. The "Golden Rule". This program was developed in 1958 and every person over 50 should be on it. Fantastic.
Thanks for showing doable exercises for keeping fit for the older people.
Thank you 👍💪
Great Video. My wife and I (71 and 72) already work out and want to up our investment in anti-aging exercise. We will add these exercises and report how things go over the next 90 days! Yay, a new adventure! 🏃🏼♂
Best of luck! I'd love to hear about your progress!!
I appreciate that you show different levels and ways to work up to it 👍 Especially the assisted squats. It’s easy to quit when you can’t even do the exercise. It’s encouraging to see how to work up to it 😊
Such valuable info, thanks for sharing knowledge 🌷
Thank you so much!!!!❤❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗
Thank you so much for watching! I hope it helps :)
You are the best ever thank you I have a stroke left said I have big problems now ❤❤❤❤❤
One question Shrey, will these exercises help your hips as well? I’m going to start working your program tomorrow! Thanks!
Also, saw something recently that a little-known exercise to help reduce rapid aging is grip strength, and to work on that. Does seem vital to keep that intact.
Very valuable -- thanks so much!
Thank you very much for sharing super exercises with great potential, thanks ❤
I have a cartilage and meniscus tear in my right inside part of my knee. Could you suggest some exercises to recover from this. I am 46 years of age and I live in New Delhi, India.
🌻A Great Messages,
Thanks for Sharing 💒🪴
Very well done and appreciated how much emphasis is given on form. Thank you!
Thanks for the great video. Exercise bands have been really helpful for me, I take them to the park with me and to multiple exercises with them.
Tom Brady was using those as a regular part of his training when he was still playing. They may be easier on the tendons and ligaments as we age.
@@snack508 I love them, I also use them while watching TV, and being a couch potato. Combo stretching and isometric exercises help.
Thank you bro: your life is important to all human nature.live long health and wealthy
Demonstration is simple & excellent 👍
Glad you liked it
I am 74, and have done regular exercise and/or sports about 85%+ of my adult life. Like most, I have had my fair share of soft tissue and back issues for quite sometime; however, we can adapt our activities to accommodate our injuries. For example, when my back would no longer allow me to run for cardio training, I took up peloton cycling for 20 years. When my back said no more riding, I took up walking. For the last 20 years, I have walked (2-5 miles daily), completed core work/stretching (45 minutes daily), and maintained a "toy" weight routine (twice a week). To the questioner that asked how long did it take to do 100,000 pushups--it sounds like a lot, but if you have a steady routine for years, you will have many, many more. Pushups were my favorite exercise for about 45 years; unfortunately about 11 years ago, I found that it was really aggravating my lower back issue. So I created a different routine, which included the bench press instead of pushups to essentially work most of the same basic muscle groups. One suggestion for those that are in my age category or perhaps 10 years younger, really warm up before any type of exercise whether stretching, core, sport, and/or weights. For the author of the video, Shrey Vazir, I agree with everything you included in your video. Each of us is physically and physiologically different, but the principles of your 5 steps is very well-grounded from my experience. Thanks for sharing valuable, correct information. Just remember, "Move it or lose!"
Hello, should we do this exercices each day ? Or if not, how many times a week ? Thank you.
Thanks for an Excellent advice, I tried it it and it gave wonderful results!
Hi there,I'm 65 and a bit active but I have a right knee problem which becomes more painful when I do squats and lunges
What do you advise/suggest I do?
Thanks you so much for this! The video is very clear.
I suffered from an ankle sprain 11 weeks ago but however, I am still suffering from discomfort and pain, would you mind making a video on physiotherapy exercises for recovering from ankle sprain?
Thanks!
Really appreciate
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks
Excellent presentation. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Exactly = Timeless Counsel!
Thank you for approaching things REALISTICALLY!!😅 It feels achievable.
Thsnk you . I am 75 and do these
I just found you.
Very well explained.
Thank you very much. 🙏🏼
Regards from Cologne, Germany. 🙋🏻♀️
Great "bouquet" for the old man Mr. Vazir. Thank you very much.
This is a good video, young man. I love the variations as well.👍🏾😀
Thanks so much!! I'm glad you enjoyed this video!
Try yoga. TH-cam has plenty of beginner, easy flow yoga, and some for sore muscles. I started it about 4 years ago as I have a neck injury and back issues, plus fibromyalgia. I couldn't walk long distances as it triggered pain. I'm never going to advance, but the easy flow and stretch yoga makes me considerably more flexible than most people who are 60. Give it a go. If you feel pain, stop and check with a Dr. Expect to feel some discomfort on occasion. Good luck.
That is a great suggestion! Thanks for sharing with the community. As someone with chronic back pain (also diagnosed with Fibromyalgia at age 21), I have heavily relied on Yoga for many years! I've seen it do wonders for many of my patients as well - but again, it might not be for everyone and I would definitely check with a physio/doctor first!
As much as I love to do push-ups, unfortunately, I cannot do them right now because I have tendonitis in one of my wrists, so I do planks. And then I do floor wipers which is basically you are laying on your back and you are bringing your legs up and down in a hinge motion. And then what you do is swing your legs back and forth like a pendulum
Do your pushups on your fists :) you are welcome ;)
Amazing Video thank you so much 🙏
Thank you so much
Really good. Thanks you
This is a great video and so well delivered! I'm doing these every morning and feel great. Core strength is SO important. I also do a regime of fast walking for 40 minutes most days plus a few other exercises / low level weights to tone up. It works!
Love it short sweet explaination easy to do it
Always fast fwd to half of the video for the exercises❤👍or you will fall asleep
Shrey is just awesome 👍
Great. This will get me started.
Excellent. Thanks
Congratulations!.. Very good video!...Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing this information and even demonstrating the exercises. Bless you. I am 75 and due to laziness, I have allowed my body to seriously deteriorate. Now that I have determined to become stronger and healthier, I have been looking for a simple but very effective exercise program to strengthen my muscle. This is just perfect. Thank you so much for making this video. You have given me a plan I can follow and recover some of the strength, flexibility and energy I once had.
Thank you❤
You are very welcome :)
Thank you doctor.. will start these
Shrey wazir// Mr Sherry Wazir physiotherapist Hindi mein bhi Bole thank you sir thank you very much
Thank you Doctor.
Thanks for the helpful video. Are squats recommended for those who have varicose veins?
Thank you. Very well presented .
It’s great and practical 🎉❤
Love it Dr. 💯💯💅💅💅
Excellent!
The most recent study on sarcopenia concluded that it's mainly caused by sustained bed-rest required due to serious injury or debilitating illness.
Really well done video. 👌 Very practical and helpful advice that resonates with your viewers! My understanding is that incorporating weight lifting (even lightweight) as well as routine walking/hiking for 30 minutes + (preferably on trails with elevation changes and some uneven terrain (with hiking sticks for balance support) can also be key to longevity and maintaining balance.
Thanks. v good exercises.
Thanks so much! These are great exercises. I wish I lived closer to your clinic in the east, sadly in the west
Good stuff. I've read that strong legs are correlated to longer expected life...
I really appreciate your video. In my experience, consistency is key. It has to become a habit, and ideally also enjoyable. I try to prioritize taking the time and space I need to care for my own needs. 15 minutes a day, every day. I use it for different strength- streching- and breathing exercises. I am still getting older but I feel good about myself.
Thank you I'm going to get started
I strongly feel you should strike crunches and replace with an overhead hanging exercise. Possible hanging knee raises or even a regression of that if it’s too difficult. Hang time directly correlates (negatively) with hip fracture incidence.
Hi Shrey Vazir
I am 65 years old, Female. Last August 2024, I was diagnosed with spondylolisthesis
Grade 1 anterolisthesis of L3 on L4 vertebrae without pars defact.
My question is
" Can I perform your Back excercises on this clip video, especially the modified crunch/curl up and glute bridge? "
Appreciates
I am looking forward to getting your feed back soon!
Thanks
Oh! I did enjoy your 3 steps climbing up stair
Great instruction. Thank you, Sir.
Thank you so much!!
I've had 2 knee replacements and 2 hip replacements but continue to run 80 mi a week, lift heavy 5x a week, swim the English Channel once a month 😮
