You clearly haven’t worked with people who have TRUE MUSCLE WASTING! Unfortunately, I suffer from it as a result of prolonged serious illnesses. And at this point getting up from a chair lifting my drink is a huge step for me. Baby Steps are the keys to regaining strength. I would advise exercises in a chair to start off, and work up from there. Good luck to all.
Same here. Lost 10kg of muscle mass during long hospitalization due to covid in 2020. When i came home getting up from chair without help was impossible. After 2 years, i can only manage to do my daily chores, my legs are still too weak for the gym! BTW, i had really muscular legs before covid and i could do 60 sit-ups in a row without breaking a sweat. After hospitalization, there's no way i could do her exercises. There's no way I can do them now!
@@rahulv8882 I share the same situation after my transplant. It took me 2 months to walk properly and still have swelling. I think it takes time but will come back. I am doing stretching and balancing exercises at rehab once a week and trying to exercise couple of times at home. Diet is a challenge with restrictive food intake and lot of medicinal effects. But hopefully as time goes by body will come back to normal. Good luck y'all with your recovery.
@@redcapsue yeah, I just found this video and when she said make sure you are sweating, I thought to myself, I don't want to be stuck in bed for the next week because I just had to break a sweat...
Thanks for the tip, but in my personal experience, anyone trying to reverse muscle wasting will not be able to do a full squat like that, and will most likely get hurt trying,
This is very important to note and very true. I've had muscular atrophy for 2 years and just started walking again a few months ago. If I tried to do a squat, I'll fall over and cry like a baby.
@@tgr.4550 Long story but for the most part I've been a type 1 diabetic for 30 years and have diabetic neuropathy in my feet and lower legs. So for the most part it's very numb. Almost lost my leg in December 2018 and just started walking a few months ago and it's been very tough getting my strength back to normal. Even worse with coronavirus stopping my physical therapy and not able to get to the local gym. The only time I have pain is when I try to sleep. But it's slowly getting better each week. I'll be getting elastic bands and start doing strength training on my own. But not going to follow this video or I'll die LOL. How are you feeling and holding up?
@@mdtaylor2274 I'm hopeful that you continue to improve. I'm in my third year of recovery. The atrophy is unbearable. I don't know how I'm getting through this. There are days. My occupational therapist and personal trainer have been going at for 3 years now. With no return of muscle mass, I'm ready to just give it up. That personal trainer does not come cheap
Muscle atrophy is not the same as "not having been to the gym for a few weeks' L O L Also, the advice would be more credible if presented by a 50+ year old instead of a peppy 28-something!
Recovering faster after a decline involves several key steps. Here are some guidelines to help you get back on your feet more quickly: 1. **Rest**: Allow yourself ample time to recuperate. Avoid pushing yourself too soon. Prioritize rest and sleep until you feel 100% better⁴. 2. **Hydration**: Drink plenty of fluids to replenish what you've lost during illness. Water, bone broth, vegetable broth, and coconut water are good choices⁴. 3. **Nutrition**: Gradually reintroduce nutrient-rich foods into your diet. Opt for lighter, smaller meals throughout the day. Consider green fruit and vegetable smoothies and soups like chicken bone broth with vegetables⁴. 4. **Gentle Heat**: Ease muscle aches with gentle heat. This can help alleviate soreness and discomfort⁴. 5. **Positive Mindset**: Maintain a positive outlook. It can make a significant difference in your recovery⁵. Remember, taking care of yourself post-illness is crucial for a faster and more effective recovery
I agree with what you said. Without the steps you mentioned, the body will not be in any state to do exercise. You first have to build up your resilience, then start training to add muscle, very, very slowly.
Seriously? After being in coma for 5 weeks and having actual muscle atrophy...this is insulting. Comparing it to not being in a gym for a while! I can't even stand from a sitting position, have had to learn to walk again and now can only manage a few steps and squatting!! I can't even get up steps never mind squat!
I love these videos but they always miss a good part which is pain when you start wasting away because of injury or medical condition and try to regain your strength most of the time you will have immense amount of pain the body does not want to move you have to break through it and gather up a mental toughness also you got to talk to your doctors about your pain because sometimes arthritis or other conditions can build up around the joints
A great ecercise for one who hsa a fair amount of muscle. I was once fit & strong but due to illness lost lots of muscle. Would be good to breakdown movements to ease into full exercise.
ikr squats, straight off?! This is so far beyond commencing rehabilitation, whether due to illness or injury. If you have been debilitated for a prolonged period of time it is way too intense and could easily cause injury. There’s not even a massive warning that you have to stretch in fact you should even begin with stretching before you can get the exercise.
You can't generalize excerise. Causes if atrophy should be the basis for rebuilding. Squats are not feasible for most seniors who have contributing factors for lack of exercise.
I know everyone is in a different place in their recovery so this might not be for everyone. But thank you because this video is helpful for the stage I am at currently. ❤
For those with REAL muscle wasting : maybe try a vibration plate. It works. You can even start by putting only your feet on it and sit on it and work from there.
Yesterday I was diagnosed with muscle deterioration in my back underneath my spine and my neck I am going to go to physical therapy for it but I'm also wanting to try things at home before I go to physical therapy on top of that I also gained so much weight since I was 16 and now I'm trying to lose a lot of this weight it's getting harder and harder to move and I'm not even 21 yet if this continues I don't know what to do I'm in so much pain and agony I hope this helps
I am 24years old.and my muscles of body are getting loose.like 40yrs old women recently i was facing deficiency.but its stable.how can i cure this loosen muscle
Thanks! Be sure to start slowly when initiating a new workout routine especially after you haven't been active. Use lighter weights and higher reps and really listen to your body. Happy sweating!
Hi I’m 63 recuperated from surgery in 2014 since then have never to regain muscle strength, started doing sitting and standing exercises to strengthen quads and began having lower back spasms. How can I overcome this to continue exercising?
Great combination move for the lower body, biceps and core! Do you have any special instructions for individuals whose range of motion is limited and can't squat as deep? Thanks for the tips - awesome video!
Wasting away... How nice to hear after a year of depression and cold weather 😂 thanks livestrong... And by the way. It's men and women. Not "people assigned the male and female gender at birth". In the end we are assigned F, M or X and X is too rare to mention. I dont know even one transgender and certainly no X because they all pick a gender.
hay I have undergone beriatric surgery of sleeve gestrectomy and lost planty of body weight but I wasnt very bothered about my diet so as a result of that I feel I have lost planty of muscle weight also I still need to loose 22lbs but I get tired a lot and don't feel strong as I used to when I was obese I am 36yr female can any one please help me?Will I get my strength and stamina back ever again?
Aditi Singh you will but this is not the corner of youtube to get real training results from. this would be a recovery from the hospital bed (depending on a lot of factors). for you i ll prescribe Untamed Strength and anyone you ll find via his chanel. this is too light for you, you need conventional strength training
I'd start stretches in a chair first and look to natural therapies not doctors drugs- its the drugs that make people dizzy and sick and make them fall- if you fall because of muscle wasting then I'd start in an armchair first working my legs with exercises- then weighted legs doing the exercise and stretches as your legs build. All the best.
i find this hard to think people with issues can not BEND. lol nice video, but not realistic for those with wasted muscle mass. can just jump into that.
This video made me laugh. Maybe its appropriate for healthy people who haven't been to the gym for a while. But so not appropriate for someone who has been unwell/had surgery and has muscle wastage from that.
Lmao I can’t even sit up without my heart rate going crazy. I have to do exercises laying down. Just tiny things are a lot for me. Who is out here exercising in a park with resistance bands? Clearly they don’t understand deconditioning
quatie agree, but this is for rehab sake. can't go full on from the get go. it's just a start. just as a baby stands and walks, you gotta rebuild that basic repetition
I'm starting to eat sprouts that I sprout myself... and I take wheatgrass shots- I grow the wheatgrass myself- it's dead easy. taking chlorella and bee pollen- soon I will have enough energy to do these exercises and then I'll do hand weights. Don't give up- research natural alternatives and you'll find the help that you seek. look up Dr. berg on youtube- also dr. bergman (both are chiropractor doctors and geniuses) they'll explain to you what's wrong and how to fix it.
Body squat is a very amazing move but who can do this at the start. I can't even do it without the band. There should be a different move like the sitting to standing squat. This person doesn't know what they are doing!

squat, biceps curl, nice for the days when i can hardly walk but need to train anyway :)

This is more like how to rebuild after not going to the gym for a while...not after muscle wastes away.

Do u get any problems with muscles at the base of skull I have atrophy and it affects my life bad
Lower your carbs to lose weight. Eat more protein instead of carbs. It will lower pain quite a bit , letting you exercise more.
This is not a beginner video

This shot was garbage for people who truly have muscle waisting
What about all the other muscle groups
Will building the muscles get rid of fat also ?
Ofcourse
My atrophy occurred in the rehabilitation hospital. How do I get the muscle back if atrophy has already occurred?
Hey, did u get ir muscles back?

No.
Unfortunately, the atrophied muscular loss increased.
@@tgr.4550 oh no, dint u go to any physical theraphist?

Rosalie2204 you probably doing it wrong, do the exercise under watch of good trainer.
Rosalie2204 you probably have lazy glutes . Where was the surgery ? Gluteal and hip strength is so important otherwise your back will be strained
Awe, I'm not able to do squats due to weak muscles and bone. Is there another level I may begin.
What are complexed carbs?
Brown rice, quinoa, whole wheat toast etc
I haven't been to the gym almost 3 months. This clip helps a lot. Thanks.
Glad it helped you! Try to start slow and do weights that are in your fitness level.
Great combination move for the lower body, biceps and core! Do you have any special instructions for individuals whose range of motion is limited and can't squat as deep? Thanks for the tips - awesome video!
Hold onto a sofa or something steady to do them I'd suggest.

Clearly Hasn't worked for her. Get in the gym and do the big 4 lifts.

Also dont do sets of 20
Dont do sets of anything more than 15 reps
