I am 75, live in U.K. where weather is not always good to go for a walk. So I purposefully walk around the house as if I am going for a walk outside.
That's a great alternative. Maintain your steps and keep up the good work!
Another excellent push for increasing activities during daily walk, Thanks
Our pleasure!
Great tips thank you. I’m over 70 but I walk at least five days a week for at least thirty minutes so will look to start adding some of these suggestions. Thank you
That's great! Let us know how you go with our suggestions :)
Found this just as I walked in from Park Run (Park Walk for me). Perfect timing as am training to do Coastrek 20ks just before my 74th birthday, fundraising for the Heart Foundation. Love the practicality of your segments.
That's amazing! Best of luck on your Coastrek fundraiser event :)
You must have been talking to me. I was watching the video with the dog on my lap about to take her for a walk! Good tips.
Amazing! Hope you had a good walk :)
Super advice, as always.
Glad it was helpful!
Love these short, sharp, targeted videos. Appreciate them so very much and always give them a go.
Glad you like them!
I have trouble jumping, but will give it a try.
Let us know how it went!
What about when you are 83 yrs old 50 is young thank you .
Hi Carol, it's the same! Everything we say in this video still applies, whether you're 30, 50 or 90! (or any other age)!
Age doesn't define what you can and cannot do. When it comes to exercise you should start at the level you can currently manage, and aim to build up gradually from there.
love these tips - i can work these tips into my everyday at home and when out and about. thank you
Sounds like a great plan, glad to help!
Great tips, thank you
Any time!
I find concentrating to take bigger steps helps stretch my hips. I tend to walk like Tinkabell 🤭
Haha!
These tips to extend your exercise while walking are great. I already do some but now I have more ideas. I'm 74 and have been having hip problems. The walking keeps me going plus exercises eg to strengthen my hip flexors, hamstrings psosis muscles and some I do on the walk too. Like side leg raises, back leg raises, hamstring stretches on the bench seat. Thank 😊you for your excellent videos.
It sounds like you have a great routine going, and we are glad to be of further help. Keep up the good work!
love these tips. thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Great video. Just what I needed. I walk daily and feel I’m not making any progress with my fitness. I used to run but was told not to run anymore because of my back problems (by my GP). I miss running so much. I’m also struggling to even start strength training that I need so much. This a is great way to combine the two and maybe start to feel fitter. I’m always puzzled by how many reps and sets to do and because I can’t figure it out I give up/lose interest. Do have any advice for starting off - number of reps would be good, never mind sets. 😅 Thanks very much for a super helpful video. 🙏
Thanks for sharing your message and feedback! We do hope that this can help you get into a good rhythm and eventually transition into strength training as well. Let us know if we can be of any further help, you can always contact us through email at info@bemobilephysio.com.au
Fantastic advice. Really helpful, ‘simple’ additions to do when walking. Thankyou!
You're so welcome!
Is jumping ok if you have osteoporosis in the spine and a protruding disc L4-5?
Im the same. Spinal canal stenosis. Cant walk much at all
Generally speaking, yes it is ok. In fact, jumping such as Ollie demonstrated in the video, is often part of bone density specific exercise programs. However, we cannot speak to your exact circumstance, it depends on your current activity levels, fitness levels, symptoms etc. If in doubt, it's best to get assessed by a physiotherapist or exercise physiologist first.
Arlene, if you can walk even a little bit, you can make a start. When it comes to exercise, we are all about doing what you can. If you can manage 2 minutes of walking each day, that's a start. Even with stenosis, you'll usually find that you can improve your walking capacity by working at it. Strength training (like the exercises in the video) will help you too. Good luck.
Great video. Thanks Ollie
Glad you enjoyed it
Already walk at fast pace,add steps or inclines.I also add strength training too.
Great stuff, and yes strength training will be a great compliment!
Great advice
. Thanks
Glad to help!
Very useful.🙏
Great to hear, stay tuned!
55 is too young for me 😊 what about suggestions for walking after 70 ?
Hi Nora, it's the same! Everything we say in this video still applies, whether you're 30, 50 or 90! (or any other age)!
Age doesn't define what you can and cannot do. When it comes to exercise you should start at the level you can currently manage, and aim to build up gradually from there.
I walk with a weighted vest
