@@carolguerrero6191 Thanks so much Carol!
@@sonjakettles3057 You're welcome Sonja. Keep up the hard work! :)
I’ve been looking for something just like this. My mobility has decreased over the last year because of lockdowns (UK). I have OA and I know I’ve sat around far too much during the pandemic. I haven’t been able to get to the gym and my fitness levels have plummeted. This seems perfect, a full body workout which I can do in the morning as a platform for building on. Thank you 🙏
Hi Mike, I loved this show. My favorite from now on . Another side product of this, is it’s the only time in the day that I hear somebody talking to me . 🇨🇦
I am 63 yrs old and have sat around since March 13 2020 when we stopped working in public schools in Michigan...then I retired! I am soft and weak in every way, and have always relied on the busy lifestyle of a band director to get by. I've slowly been working my way back, with your help! I started out a couple weeks ago with just the simple short ones...this is my first venture on this long one. I really have a long way to go, but I feel good about the direction this is taking me...Thank You!!!
You're more than welcome Mike - Thank you for sharing! You've done a great job to start working your way back despite the setback. Keep it all up, and I wish you all the best on your journey!
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

This is a public Thank you to you Mike and to this program. BC, (before Covid) my wife and I, now 82, were doing a decent job of going to the YMCA and keeping up with their Silver Sneakers program. AC we found ourselves at home and quickly losing our ability and desire for exercise. Surfing Ytube I found various nice exercise programs for seniors BUT when we found yours, we knew we were where we needed to be. So again, thank you, this program is excellent and you do an excellent job of working with us. Keep it up.
My pleasure Robert - thank you for sharing! It is great to hear that you and your wife are finding the exercises helpful. Great work continuing to exercise despite the setback as well.. Well done!
I totally agree, this is better than my Silver Sneakers class, and I do not have to find a parking place, LOL!
Perfect for seniors who are not completely fragile, but not able to do a hard workout. Just exactly what we need to begin our exercise routine.
I feel terribly lucky to have found this workout today!
These exercises felt SO good after a stressful afternoon.
Hello Mark. I'm 70, year plus.
I just come across your exercises. I find it helpful to my mobility.
I just found your channel. Thank you! My wife had a stroke on the Scottish island of Iona. An NHS helicopter lifted her to a nearby hospital in Oban, just in time for thrombosis (blood clot thinning).
We remained in Scotland, hospitalized for five weeks, getting her fit for travel back to the US. We’ve been back for two weeks and are still fighting with insurance, a Medicare replacement plan, for approach physical therapy. We have had to search out programs for home until we get her accepted in an outpatient program.
Together, we went through this video, and found a great level for her beginnings. She’s a healthy 65 year old and is eager to participate in more of your videos. 🙏🏽
I’ll check your resources to see if you offer material for stroke. Her right limbs are affected and her speech (slightly).
Thank you Mike! Enjoyed this longer one - glad you gave a tiny respite between the segments! Happy Valentine's Day to all!
My pleasure Pam! Thank you!
I just finished this longer one Mike which I found exceptionally good- you're a life saver- Thank you💕🎉💐🙏👍
Oct. 19, 2023, faithfully did my exercises today, keeping a record of how l feel after, so happy with the 55 minutes exercises, thank you Mike, have a beautiful day. 😍
I've tried several different videos for older beginners and I must say this is the channel for me. The exercises move just fast enough so you don't get bored with repetition and easy enough to incorporate throughout the day. Thank you so much -- after 3 weeks I already feel more fexible and balanced!
My pleasure! Thanks for the feedback!
Hi, this is my first time responding but I have to say how helpful your videos have been for me being that I have had three major surgeries within the past year and a half and need to start very slowly getting back to some exercise routine.
I have bad two hip replacements and a laminectomy with an L4&5 fusion . My surgeries went very well but of course my muscles were weak from not exercising much during there’s months of recovery.
I started doing your exercises and find that my muscles seem to be getting stronger and fine you so encouraging just want to say thank you.5
Hi!
Thank you very much l'm from Hongkong 77 year old healthy for always exercise everyday
Hey Everyone, I've been exercising with Mike since March 2020, practically everyday! and it has been life changing or should I say "muscle changing" - I did his "Ultimate..." adding weights to some of the exercises to make it more challenging! I recommend "Ultimate" to all beginners, you won´t repent.
I loved this video. For those who tend to get lost on rights and lefts, Mike solves that problem by simple referring to one side then the other, or one leg then the other. Keeps me from tensing up trying to remember right or left. I love the length. Can work all parts, along with a warm up and cool down/ stretch. It is an empowered feeling to be able to do almost an hour. Sometimes I don’t get all the reps, but I get what I can do. Something is better than nothing.
Me too have been doing it every day since last February .... feeling great and can keep,up with my husband when we go walking....🚶🚶🏻♀️🚶🚶🏻♀️🚶🚶🏻♀️🚶🚶🏻♀️🚶🚶🏻♀️🚶🚶🏻♀️🚶
@@ritapamplin457 @sszzZzz
Love your workout,, it's perfect for me, I'm 70,, felt great for me! I'll be back!
I appreciate so much thank you God 🙏 Bless
I moved from the Full Chair workout to this wonderful video. I wanted you to know since I started doing the first part 14 days ago, I can feel strength returning to my back and hips. Please continue with you great work for seniors. Thanks Mike!
You're more than welcome! Great to hear you can feel strength returning to your back and hips too - Keep it all up!
My wife and I love this video. My doctor suggested chair exercises. We found this video, tried it and do it regularly.
Amazing how doing exercises in a chair can make us feel so energized. Definitely feel better after each session.
Thank you.
That is great to hear Phil, progress is progress! Keep up the good work, consistency is key.
fabulous. All parts included.
I am glad you enjoyed it Frances :D
First Tmer. Whole Video too! Fabulous for me.-73, not athletic, but “used to” walk every day-broke my Leg/they say hip b/c so far up- September - have bars screws wires full length of femor trochanter to knee. Now trying cane-and have plethora of personal issues (asthma /depression) that are killing me…. Your class was something doable. I’ll try again. I haven’t deep cleaned my place in 5 months. Cant get the energy. Hoping this won’t put me in a “broken-again” situation. If you have specific exercises to use ALL the gluts and leg muscles -specific to my injury, ill be watching for them. Bravo! Thank you. Stay healthy.
Great to hear Mardi - Glad this video has helped you with your injury. Make sure to keep up the good work with it all and hopefully you're able to deep clean that house soon!
You did it again, Mike! Imaginative whole body combo. The warm-up more broadly covered the ensuing full exercises. The change in the neck exercise patterns was novel. Your "I don't know" shoulder shrug comment brought on giggles. I did the hand flips and wrist bends with weights, as well as the upper body section. I'm working through a soft tissue knee flare-up right now, so the sitting hip "Os" and abductions were a welcomed change. At the end my entire body was buzzing. This one's a great thorough addition to my sitting exercise arsenal when I'm tired, feeling lazy (!), or going through pain. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY from New Jersey, U.S.!
Thank you very much Anastasia! It sounds like you did an excellent job with all of the exercises.. Well done! 💪
ouch at times but I did it !! Feel great and THANKYOU for posting this ( Im 71 and lovin it)
Still doing my exercises, the weather has been humid and constant rain, but doing the exercises it’s a help my 87 year old bones❤️thank you Mike.
Great Workout to start out with. Thanks!
You're welcome!
I really enjoyed this longer exercise, will definitely be doing this one regular
Great to hear Anita! Keep it up!
i can’t believe how much better my body feels after doing these exercises. thank you for helping me regain mobility and strength!
Oct. 22, 2023, good morning everyone, just finished my exercises in spite of the weather, l would like to know how many of seniors are still doing their exercises, l’m 87 years, l have arthritis and bone on bone knees and feel that the exercises are helping. Thank you Mike.🤗
Thank you for showing up today! I missed several hours of exercise and I look for it. I will start within 20 mins. Will see you then..
You got this Johanna! Great effort.
Who would have thought this would be the best workout from a chair. There was a focus on every body part with constant reminders to keep that posture upright and shoulders back. My new favorite morning workout. Thank you!
You're so welcome Sandra! Thank you for your feedback and keep up the great work.
Loved the 55min Mike thank you 🤲❤️ Frances 🇮🇪
You're welcome Frances!
Great thank you enjoyed from this 82 yr old with peripheral neuropathy, always feel a-bit smug when I have done these exercises
My pleasure Janet! Keep up the great work with the exercises!
Enjoyed this longer exercise routine. I am a 60 year old lady who works with a developmentally disabled woman in her late 40s. She stated she felt so good after this routine. Looking forward to the next time. Enjoyed the stretches
Great to hear!
Mike, though been using your exercise throughout California Covid, I found the 'beginner' workout fun to do for easing into a new week and complete body workout. Keep them coming. Thank you for all of your ongoing concern work.
You're more than welcome James! Keep it up!
Love You
I’m 75 and am really enjoying these exercises Sometimes tough and other times a bit easier. I have just recovered from TB and have asthma and am definitely feeling the improvement.Thank you Mike.
Great to hear Jill! I am so pleased you have recovered. Keep up your great work and I look forward to hearing how you progress :)
Bobby reached my point and said village was wondering 😔what would 400x291&wt
my sister found your videos for my 94 year old mom. She just plays them and mom does the 30 minute videos. I found this one and felt I could do a longer one. Great workout!
Hi GUYS, i AM A 76 YRAR OLD MALE RECOVERING FROM ANOTHER ROUND OF COVID / PNEUMONIA. AWESOME EXERCISE
PROGRAM. WILLBE BACK TOMORROW. SORRY FOR All CAPS.🏳🌈
Excellent workout for out- of- shape seniors! i actually look forward to doing this routine. Thank-you so much Mike for doing this for us
You're so welcome Kathy! Keep up the great work with the exercises!
Thank you Mike good luck and God bless you and all
Thank you Mike. I needed this workout today 😊 I’m 73 times around the sun 😊
Thank you . This workout is keeping me going while I wait for my knee surgery.
My pleasure Veronica! Keep up the great effort!
This was great. My mom and I loved the longer session. Adding these to the mix would be perfect for the days we are feeling more motivated.
Hi Charissa, that is great to hear. Thank you.
Thanks Mike suffered sciatica for years I have been for physio it was good next day, I was back to the same, just had a bad bout of sciatica, thought I would try ylu excercises, and so much improved
Glad that you found these exercises helpful Penny! :) Thanks for sharing and keep up the great effort with it all!
Thanks!!
Very helpful exercise session!!
You're welcome Sudha! Glad you liked it! 🙂
I love this most recent workout. It is great. Hope to see an intermediate one soon!!
Not too long, Mike... a great video to start the day.
Thanks Mary. Keep it all up! :)
I got fit and lost loads of weight during lockdown. 2 years later I've gained all the weight back and become unfit. So, as I approach my 78th birthday I have resolved to reverse the situation. Love this seated workout as a great way of getting started. Many thanks. X
Mike, thank you for offering these videos! I had been looking for exercises I could do even though I'm 66 years old and out of shape. I am feeling more energized and stronger going up and downstairs and feeling more confident. Thank you and God bless you.
Love it!!!!!!!
Thanks Mike, another wonderful workout. I'm glad you're doing longer ones. There are days when I have plenty of time and enthusiasm for exercise, but less oomph or strength. This workout was perfect today because it was very manageable yet challenging, and covered the whole body, but none of it felt overwhelming.
I really felt like I had an excellent workout.. I know you want to make another long one. How about half standing and half sitting? I'm not sure that standing for 55 minutes is my scene!! Needless to say that I leave it to you - you're the boss! Keep happy (and well also) Eve
Hey Eve. A half standing, half sitting version of this workout sounds like a great idea - I appreciate your suggestion! In the meantime, keep up the great work with your exercises, and I'll see what I can do! :)
@@MoreLifeHealth I'll look forward to it!!! xx
❤For a senior over seventy I really enjoyed this exercise. I even break out some sweat. GREAT,,Thank you.
Really having a good time working out with you
Happy to hear Elaine! Keep it up!
Me too lol 😊💯 ocie 💕👍👨👩👧👧
Great warm up exercise after being outside in the cold. Going to be sixteen degrees with snow.
Take care Wayn - Enjoy the snow! Great work with the exercises!
Hello Mike: I am not sure if I already gave my feedback before, but I appreciate that this exercise is beginner and is fully seated because my Dad has Parkinson's and he cannot do much in terms of flexibility. I try to help him sometimes to get him to cognitively understand in general what the exercise positions are about and to stretch as far as he can without making him go beyond what he is able to do. Anyway my Dad has been doing this exercise a few months now. Thank you for making videos for senior citizen beginners whose flexibility is limited, much appreciated!
Thanks mike
You're welcome Victoria!
Feel great after the seated exercises.👍
Great to hear Indira! Keep up the great work!
Mike I enjoyed this whole body exercise of stretching it was excellent appreciate it
So glad you enjoyed it Elinor!
Am 10 months out from having rods put in both femurs. It’s been a long road but am ready to get by in shape. I find this video very helpful & no too strenuous. I am 74 yrs young & want to stay that way! I think u are the one for me. See u tmrro!
Best of luck with everything Elizabeth! Keep up the great work :)
Hi Mike. Although I'm only 57 I have bad osteoarthritis (spine, neck , knee and hip joints) and haven't done any exercise for a while. I used to swim a lot and do free weights and regular gym sessions before Covid lockdowns. During the first 7-8 months I was doing HIIT workouts posted by a great English guy called Joe Wicks. But as my condition has been getting worse (I'm on a long public health waiting list for a new knee) I was starting to feel a bit depressed and kind of gave up on trying. This morning I got up and came into the kitchen, turned on TH-cam and was determined to do some kind of routine to get my mind and body back into the game. I've just done this workout and I must say, it surprised me how much can be done sitting on a chair. It was just what I needed. I'm going to recommend your channel to my 80 year old mom and try and repeat this workout for at least the next few weeks myself until I feel able to start taking on something more vigorous. Absolutely great video. This workout has really helped my mental wellbeing today. Thanks for sharing.
Great routine will be doing it daily !!
Thank you! Nice gentle, but very complete exercise routine. No pain in my bone-on-bone knees!
You're very welcome Nancy! Keep it up!
That was fantastic Mike....really enjoyed it.... from eastern Canada . Stay safe! Thanks💕
So glad you enjoyed it Joan! Hope all is well over there in eastern Canada!
you are child of god , god bless you , this is helping too much in our age
Thanks so much Annie!
Great Mike - enjoyed doing it very much. Will make it one I do regularly. I actually did most of it standing, which is what I will continue to do.
Great to hear Judith! Well done!
Thank you for your time. It's helping me with my sciatic nerve pain. I really enjoyed this video thank you so much!
You're very welcome Dolores! Keep it up!
Thanks for another great long one exercise
You're very welcome Louan!
Thanks you for your time today and you are amazing today 😘 ocie 💯👍
You're welcome Ocie! :)
Really like this video. Have been trying your new saturday work outs but its a bit strong so I have come back to this. I had forgotten how it gets to all the parts the other videos don't reach. Great job Mike thank you
Good to hear Suzanneh! 🙂
Very nice! It was great to work through the whole body. Best wishes from Italy.
Thanks Bonnie! :) Glad you liked the workout!
excellent Mike!
Thanks Dara!
Excellent. I'm 66 years old and this demonstration gives me a lot of confidence. Thank you so much
That is great to hear - keep up the great work and thank you for your feedback.
Great workout for a senior. Wonderful work!
Thanks Erlinda! :)
We enjoyed it at the age of 93
Great work George! Happy to hear you enjoyed it! 🙂
So good to hear. We are in our 80’s and often have our friends remark on us being an inspiration to them.......may I add you are for us 🙏🏻
I hope you can for as long as you can and us too 😍👵🏻👴🏻🇨🇦🙏🏻
Wonderful. I hope you will continue to feel great!
God bless you 🙏
Hi Mike. I give you 2 thumbs up for seating exercises.😃😅
Thank you Johanna - I am glad you enjoyed it. Keep up your great efforts!
I am 80 yo and this was perfect for me..👍👏🇬🇧🇪🇸🤗
Thank you so much. I am a 75 year old with scoliosis and I really appreciate you producing this excellent program.
Exercises were very good for senior me, who is very overwetght. I will be back tomorrow!😋😍😘
I enjoy the longer exercises as they are a little more challenging. More time to work up a little sweat and more work to the whole body. Thanks very much for your work.........
Loved this workout. The time just flew by! The only hour I know of that makes you feel better all over!
Thank you so much for these exercises. God bless you!!
i loved the work out before starting work from home. it was a pleasure. Thanks again will be back tomorrow..
That is great Sandra. Consistency is key, keep up the great work.
Thank you mike more strenght God bless u more
Still a good session to return to but enjoy newer ones too. Thank you ❤
Hi Mike, I've graduated from the 35-minute workout to this one. I truly enjoyed the extra stretches and the cool and easy way that you encourage us to keep moving! Yesterday I walked about seven miles and this workout helped me to get the kinks out of my 64 year old body before adding an extra mile to my walk. Kudos to you!
I enjoy ALL of your videos. I pick one sometimes two every day. This one was especially good! Thank you!
My pleasure Alicia! Great work!
There are more hand and leg works in this bacause it is longer. For seniors like me, this is a way of being mobile though sitting down because standing exercises can be strenuous for us. Thanks for giving us this. God bless you.
Second time exercising with you! Having difficulty with leg lifts. Hoping to have success. I am a walker, weather permitting I generally walk a little over 3 miles a day, I am surprised I have leg lift difficulties at all. Thank you again for a great full body workout ! 😊
Yes, I needed this.
Thanks. Enjoyed the longer workout on January 19, 2024. I like the fact there is no background music.
Thank you Mike. Feel great after this 55 minutes chair exercise. All tension in the muscles gone. Really feel very good. Thank you
Hello Mike, I have just finished 55 minutes of exercise and I am happy for the improvement on my health.
Appreciate you
Thanks
I love this workout!!!! Congrats 😊
Didn’t think I would last for 55 minutes. After 30 minutes didn’t want to leave anything out. So happy to have found your videos.
Love it. Tomorrow I will focus on your balance exercises and do a little walking. Will alternate between the two every day
Sounds like a great plan Joyce! All the best!
We started doing this video at our library for a chair exercise program and we all love it!
Thanks very much Mike! I've been hoping for a longer workout video. This one is my new favorite.
You're very welcome Maria! Great to hear!
This is an hour I can do every day. Thank you for creating this video. IT IS PERFECT!
I am 69 and regrettably have not followed any exercise regime for some time. I have been using the exercise videos for one week, and whilst it is early days I am enjoying my daily ‘workouts’. 👍
You're welcome Ray! How are you progressing with the exercises? :)
Mike, your videos have been a tremendous blessing to me. Thank you!
You are very welcome J. Good to hear, thanks for sharing and keep up the good work with your exercises 🙂
