I am 70. These videos are great. Believe in yourself! Listen to your body. It's fragile. However take small steps. I am running 15k, walking, cycling, OW swim, pilates. Go for it.
I teach over 80s and use your info all the time. I have your book and get your tips. Thank you for all that you do to keep people healthy and mobile!!!!
I’d previously always listened to Personal Trainers at the gym, but they never took my ‘65 years old’ into consideration really. They showed me great exercises and I’m really grateful but you Will, really understand us older folk and give us exercises that make so much more sense. Thank you so much for everything you do. I think you are a GENIUS in your field. 👏👏👏🥇🏆
I get you. I am a personal trainer to over 60's and it kills me to see younger trainers working with older clients and not factoring in their abilities and needs.
Will H. really is a blessing in the lives of us over 50's - plus he's darn cheery, helps me feel i can overcome however i feel aging limits me physically - thanks Will!
i very rarely comment on videosbut feel compelled with this one. have had minor hip issues for a few years and spent considerable time trying to resolve/improve inc seeing local physios. I did the exercise in this video and felt immediate improvement in hip mobilty and walking. Thank you.
Top Guy Will, should be given your own tv show, I’ll always be grateful for giving me my life back after following your sciatica exercises, what an absolute credit to your profession you are!
Thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm incredibly pleased to hear that my exercises have proven so helpful for you - I'm wishing you all the very best!
Hi Will! Only in my thirties but i have found your videos incrediblely help. So grateful for you. Always wishing you the best and may you keep growing, helping and prospering ❤
That is a great exercise! I could really feel it. I do a daily 1 hour walk and I think this will be a great addition to my daily fitness regime. Also so exciterd to see you closing in on the 1 million subscriber mark! So well deserved as you have helped so many people!
So pleased to hear you'll be putting this into practice. And thank you, I can't quite believe how quickly my channel has grown, I'm incredibly grateful for all the support!
You have pinpointed my problem. I have been bothered by tight groin for few years and your picture shows exactly shows my problem areas. I am positive your exercises will help me. Thank you.
66 yr old. I still play soccer and really found all your videos help me a lot including this one. I actually felt my butt and hamstring trembling, in addition to the stretch in the front of the leg, but it does feel stronger and easier to walk.
🌺 55yr old woman with bilateral labral hip tears. This is a stretch that helps right away. I'm taking it easy, holding the stretch when I'm feeling resistance, and hip is now moving more freely 🙏🏻 thank you! Look forward to receiving your book soon 🤓💕
@debbiec6216 🌻 I've been a hip surgery candidate for over 15yrs, managing well with regular maintenance. I tend to pronate with a fairly balanced gait, not so much side to side, and right now my focus is stretching/strengthening my butt and foot muscles now as I'm wearing down the top of my thigh bones with my movements. I hope you find relief soon. Will be trying barefoot shoes as well, leaning towards the peluva brand
I just found your TH-cam channel and tried this stretch. My lower back had been bothering me, but after doing this stretch, I felt instant relief! I began using a cane nearly a year ago for my very painful hip, which aggravated my knees. Physical therapy did little to help, but your exercises are much more focused so I am eager to do more and see where I end up. My doctor recommended surgery for all 3 joints and I want to do all I can to avoid surgery and be able to stop taking pain medications!
I am a young 75 year old - go to the gym and walk every day….. l would like to know why l seem to trip quite often …. l haven’t fallen over YET !!!! Thank you. Love your posts.
❤❤❤ I'm 66yo and started practicing kendo last year. This will be a wonderful addition to my kendo warm up. And of course, to everyday exercises. I want that book ❤🥰
I truly appreciate what you do in your YT channel. Thank you so very much for all the instructions. May God bless you and your whole family in all your undertakings and needs always😊♥🙏
I’m going to try this stretch. I’ve been active all my life, but I’m now 74 with a bone spur on my L4, a bum knee from ski falls, and nerve damage. I’m as young as I’ll ever be today, so I’m going to keep going!
WHAT I DO IS SHARING YOUR VIDEOS WITH MY FRIENDS AND WHENEVER WE GET TOGETHER IN PARK OR SOMEONE'S HOUSE WE WATCH AND EXERCISE AND HELP EACH OTHER FOR BETTER RESULTS ❤ THANKS A MILLION WILL ❤
I am 69 and think your 3 tips - and other videos I have missed - are eye opening and so 'easy' to do. My hips are incredibly tight and I have begun doing this exercise. Interestingly the 'osteo blast' class I go to sent us all your video regarding hand grip. Thank you
THANK YOU!!! That gets right into where my hip pain is, I can feel it releasing and pain easing during each stretch. P.S. My pain things = I can't think very well. Also have your excellent book. Sometimes I need the book, sometimes i need the vids.
Yesterday, I was watching again the HT-physio video explaining the 12th tips to walk better. With an additional video, we have now a great preparation before doing the walking exercises. Thanks very much, Will, for your help ❤
@@HT-Physio Yes! It’s an ongoing project. I find a routine and then because it’s effective my life changes and then I make sure my routine changes with it.
Every day i walk 7 to 10 thousand steps ,do aqua gym every week swiming and resistance traing in a sports club. I am 70 in 3 weeks i do all,this because i am a diabeatic. I appricate your videos always something new to learn and progress.😉
Completed back traction therapy. Spine alignment is now fantastic. Hips still tight from sitting though. This exercise does wonders, especially if you breathe deeply. Went for a walk right afterwards. Wow, my stride flows freely and very little stiffness. Thank you❤
That stretch worked exactly as you said it would. It’s so easy to do I’ll be able to easily to make this a routine and will link in to my increase in steps. The benefits I think I’m going to feel from this will be far reaching. Thankyou Will
This is one promising exercise that I’m going to add to my daily repoirte of exercises. Your explanations are clear and helpful. Looking forward to your next tutorial. Thanks. By the way I’m 87.
Thanks very much- the exercise sounds fantastic and very do-able! Great presentation-it’s so clear and memorable! Thank you for sharing your expertise- much appreciated!
I'm so pleased to hear you've found my videos helpful. I hope you find my book packed with even more useful and engaging content, if you do decide to order it! I'm wishing you all the best :)
Thanks for such great advice. Its really helping me sooo much . Recoving from ankle and mid foot surgery and have beeen in bed almost 3 months and now trying to walk again and my hip muscles as you can imagine are so stiff !! This is helping. Thanks for sharing as these things often get overlooked. Powerful work here !!! 😊😊
Great to hear this has been helping - I also have the following video on building strong hips which may be of interest! th-cam.com/video/Wg-UNnGrUek/w-d-xo.html
As a Camino de Santiago walker, going back for round two, I RELY on your videos. To anyone reading this, you can do The Camino as well! People into 80’s are walking. Just pay attention to these videos and keep moving.
Oh, a book I like that I will try to get that and I want you to know how much I appreciate you. These things that you put on here are so important for me. I’m just about to turn 66 Mine years ago I had six bone graphs anterior and posterior at the same time, I let a very good life that I was so fortunate to been able to go to St. Mary’s fine Center in San Francisco and just really sports medicine as they were also the Doctors for the 49ers I just am always looking for ways to improve and you know these little things you forget but here you are to remind me and I definitely am gonna get myself a copy of your book and I’m going to give it as a gift is going to be a holiday gift this yearthank you so much
I needed to see the video on stretch before walking and the one for the stairs now ,, thank you will ,, my lower back has improved greatly !! cheers from australia 🇦🇺
Congratulations on your new book. Very exciting. I have your first one. Thank you for sharing your knowledge complete with nonjudgmental and thorough explanations and demonstrations. I often share your channel with my friends and family who can benefit from them.
Thank you so much for purchasing my first book, I hope you've enjoyed it. Thank you also for sharing my work with others, it means a great deal to me. I'm sending best wishes your way 😄
I felt the stretch immediately! Am now going to go for a short walk to see if it has helped, but I will do another two stretches over the day …thk you 😊
Great exercise. I can’t do the wall part due to immobility of my wrists, but I simply held onto a countertop. Worked! Squeeze and tuck! Will, could you address exercises for us of those who have knee replacements on how we can keep that knee healthy and strong for many years?
I love the hip flexor exercise. I suffer from sciatic ❤. I saw that one session eased the pain. I'm so motivated to make sure this exercise is part of my daily routine. Thank u
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been struggling with a painful hip. Doing this movement for one day has improved the level of my hip pain by about 90%. I’m hoping that by doing it daily it will stay improved. I’m looking forward to implementing some of the exercises from some of your other videos.
Hi Will - just ordered your book as this exercise is fantastic and together with disabled yoga classes, it is really helping my long term mobility. Nice one mate :)
Thank you for ordering my book, I hope you find it packed with more helpful tips and interesting information! I'm so pleased to hear you've noticed improvements from the exercises in my videos. Have a great week 😄
Thank you for this! Your kneeling stretch for the psoas has definitely helped me, but with my lumpy knee caps, I have to set up cushions to do the exercise without extreme pain. This new method looks much more convenient, and I will use it.
I think a different video mentioned walking with toes slightly pointed out also to help hip bursitis too. Keep those calfs and gluts strong! Thank you for your videos.
Thank you! This is very helpful. I am working on stability when walking and staying relaxed and secure using a cane. Always appreciate your expertise and knowledge.
So pleased to hear this was helpful - keep up the great work and I hope my videos continue to aid your goal of protecting your stability. I also have the following videos to support with using a cane which may be of interest :) th-cam.com/video/Ry9kwq4HwTg/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/sEIQQEswBVI/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/p3zffKDP_F0/w-d-xo.html
With both arms pushing against the wall as I do this, I’m getting double benefits: resistance training for my arms too. Thanks, it’s easy and I hope my hips get stronger.
2 TKR and 1 hip replacement. Get up in the morning with swelling in both knees and tightness. Also have pain in both shoulders….of course I am 82 so guess the old machinery is pretty much used up. I have fallen a couple times and of course can’t get up on my own, thank God for a good husband….interested in these exercises as of course kneeling is now out of the question for me, when you said no kneeling….my ears perked right up. Thank
Thanks Will yet again. I'm so excited to do this tomorrow. I'm really struggling at the moment with my right knee again. Trying to work out an exercise regime for my knee and walking. This is first to try tomorrow then going to look through your other videos regarding knees to add to this one. 👍
I hope this proves beneficial for you. I have lots more videos on my channel regarding healthy knees and knee pain which hopefully prove helpful for you :)
Hey, guys. I found that once get into this position and get your tailbone tucking, if you bend your knees a little more, you get a really good stretch. I do recommend keeping the front heel firmly down. I hope Will agrees.
Thanks for this useful exercise. The soft tissue in the front of my knees are painful even in the knee replacement I had three years ago and many exercises are impossible such as squats etc (which cause tendonitis in my replaced knee) but I can manage this one even though I'm in my late 70s. Trying to tuck my bottom in is more difficult as my lower back is painful due to the bones narrowing and the base of my spine curving but I can manage it a little way if I don't do it too often. My favourite exercise is going for walks with my walker or two sticks so I am grateful for any advice of how to walk better. I really miss being able to dance and walk easily as I used to before osteoarthritis kicked in but I want to keep up my walking as long as I can and your videos are a real help.
This addresses my prime problem at 68 - slowed walking. I walk 3-4 miles a day, but my friends are complaining I'm too slow for them. I'll try this exercise for sure! Thanks.
Hi there - I hope this proves beneficial for you! I also have the following videos addressing a similar topic which may prove beneficial :) th-cam.com/video/tjoUPVdgQ3w/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/whCk3EMaW60/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/rCbceY-lDkM/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/k8suX3F1xvM/w-d-xo.html
Hi Will, I recently discovered your channel and it's great! I've ordered your book, have you ever thought of doing a wall chart of your exercises? It could accompany your book. Thanks for all your knowledge and care for us over 50's 😊
Having done my share of square bashing, for many years I've walked with a stride without any obvious issues. I recently went on a course with a leading navigation expert who recommend using much shorter steps as it prevents overreaching the walking muscles and you're keeping your stride within the area of the body mass, thus less strain on the joints & tendons. It appears to make sense and I've now got into the habit of taking shorter steps whenever I walk. Your thoughts - ?

I have learned you need to remember to raise your toes.
I’m 64 and find I trip too!
He says tight hip flexors which I have can be the cause .
Sometimes, it's the sneakers. Change it for a tie up sneakers and make sure you pick up your feet. Don't drag them
Little core strength, it used to happen to me too
Great easy stretch you can do anywhere and it takes almost no time. It really makes an immediate difference for me. Thank you!!
Thanks... This was a life saver! Having dealt with pain in my left leg for ages! ❤
62 y.o. here. great, clear instruction. simple movements that really help.
thanks and cheers from colorado.

Great exercise. I can’t do the wall part due to immobility of my wrists, but I simply held onto a countertop. Worked! Squeeze and tuck! Will, could you address exercises for us of those who have knee replacements on how we can keep that knee healthy and strong for many years?
Counter is even better. Or a stable dresser.
Fabulous really. Also saying it will take 10 weeks to see improvement. Need to have patience.
Thanks for your effort I just do when I watch your video always benefit Bless your heart

With both arms pushing against the wall as I do this, I’m getting double benefits: resistance training for my arms too. Thanks, it’s easy and I hope my hips get stronger.
2 TKR and 1 hip replacement. Get up in the morning with swelling in both knees and tightness. Also have pain in both shoulders….of course I am 82 so guess the old machinery is pretty much used up. I have fallen a couple times and of course can’t get up on my own, thank God for a good husband….interested in these exercises as of course kneeling is now out of the question for me, when you said no kneeling….my ears perked right up. Thank
Yes the hip stretch really works in improving my walking… seems to give me greater ease in my daily walk victor ( 76yr old)
Great to hear it helped!
Thanks Will yet again. I'm so excited to do this tomorrow. I'm really struggling at the moment with my right knee again. Trying to work out an exercise regime for my knee and walking. This is first to try tomorrow then going to look through your other videos regarding knees to add to this one.
👍
I hope this proves beneficial for you. I have lots more videos on my channel regarding healthy knees and knee pain which hopefully prove helpful for you :)
Thanks, Will. I’ll try this bc long term immobility has made me tight as a drum!
I hope this proves beneficial for you!
That's brilliant! Worked immediately!!!
That is wonderful to hear!
This I very beneficial thank you you are amazing!
Can’t wait to try this! Thanks
Great video! Thanks!
Will Harrow, you explain in very simple easy way daily tips. I like your video and watch it.
Thank you so much, I'm so pleased to hear you enjoyed my video!
Hey, guys. I found that once get into this position and get your tailbone tucking, if you bend your knees a little more, you get a really good stretch. I do recommend keeping the front heel firmly down. I hope Will agrees.
Thanks for this useful exercise. The soft tissue in the front of my knees are painful even in the knee replacement I had three years ago and many exercises are impossible such as squats etc (which cause tendonitis in my replaced knee) but I can manage this one even though I'm in my late 70s. Trying to tuck my bottom in is more difficult as my lower back is painful due to the bones narrowing and the base of my spine curving but I can manage it a little way if I don't do it too often. My favourite exercise is going for walks with my walker or two sticks so I am grateful for any advice of how to walk better. I really miss being able to dance and walk easily as I used to before osteoarthritis kicked in but I want to keep up my walking as long as I can and your videos are a real help.
This addresses my prime problem at 68 - slowed walking. I walk 3-4 miles a day, but my friends are complaining I'm too slow for them. I'll try this exercise for sure! Thanks.
Use this and some of his other videos that address the same thing.

Great tip
Thank you for what you do
It's my pleasure!
Hi Will, I recently discovered your channel and it's great! I've ordered your book, have you ever thought of doing a wall chart of your exercises? It could accompany your book. Thanks for all your knowledge and care for us over 50's 😊
excellent information, physical therapy, & presentation
So glad to hear you thought so!
Love your videos and wish there was a Will Harlow in my USA hometown for physiotherapy. Luckily, we have your videos and books.
I wish I could be everywhere! I'm grateful to have TH-cam to be able to reach those I cannot see in person 😄
Having done my share of square bashing, for many years I've walked with a stride without any obvious issues. I recently went on a course with a leading navigation expert who recommend using much shorter steps as it prevents overreaching the walking muscles and you're keeping your stride within the area of the body mass, thus less strain on the joints & tendons.
It appears to make sense and I've now got into the habit of taking shorter steps whenever I walk.
Your thoughts - ?
Great information,! Thank you, Will!
Very happy to help!
@@HT-Physio This exercise has helped my cycling and chores, as well.
I do this stretch and love it. Thanks for the reminder!
Great to hear you've been putting this to good use!
My walking has become much slower in recent years, so I am definitely going to try this and see how I get on. Great advice as usual. Thanks Will 👍
