Excellent exercise suitable for my needs

TQVM..gg to wrk it out..

Excited about this! Only 48 and I've now got chronic pain and a neurological disorder fron MULTIPLE falls. Can't afford physio. Meds and feet are why I fall, but going to change this!!

Elderly Falls I find that when I have a stable object to touch, my balance improves radically. I do not need to hold on to the object just touch it with my finger and my body and mind can then bypass the faulty inner ear balance system. A simple toy gyro could probably serve as a stable object for the elderly to touch to get a stable reference. The elderly patient could hold the gyro in their hand to get a "ground" reference. A possible issue is that when the gyro is forced to move, a force develops which is at a right angle to the direction of acceleration. The gyro might work as well if it was attached to the body, possibly to the neck or head. I don't think that this is on the market at this time. I had the idea when I realized that I did not need to hold on to a stable reference, rather just touch it.

Mike God bless you for sharing the video n helping seniors to do the exercises to strengthen the muscle of the legs 👍🏻

Thank you 💕😊 showing the video prevent of fall good luck and god bless you all the family

Mike, you are a great therapist! Thank you!

Wonerful, controlled, easy but effective. I shared the video with many.. Thanks 10 times, breath.. haha

I am back again after long time Thank you so much 😊

Love the way you made that chair invisible ....... can you do that to my hips???😂😂😂 Another brilliant video for us oldies - nice and slow so I can work out with you (my own personal toy-boy). Well done.

Thank you so much

I love it how you get straight into it.

Wonderful! I don’t want to fall! These help s lot! Thanks, Magician Mike.🧞‍♂️

Wonderful demonstration of these balance exercises for seniors, safety precautions included. Thank you!

I think your "elderly" exercises are very good and worthwhile. I also think your health and safety advice is excellent. I have been to exercise and dance classes over the years, and some U.tube teachers are lacking in health and safety and good explanations... many a teacher had poor advice regarding a persons ability and safety aspects. Excellent!! I have just discovered you and intend to use your exercises as a routine. Many thanks.. great works..👏👏👍🇪🇸🇬🇧🌟

You're welcome Stanley. Hope you're much better after the fall! and yes these exercises are important!

A million thanks from Malaysia. It is a fast aging society & walking is our Seniors mean of transport. Sometimes we mis-step & loose our balance while walking on straight lines. Plse advise.

This new video reinforces what you have taught us seniors before which is very good as it is easy to forget once you do not do it all the time. I love the new tips and the new props you added to add more interest to the exercise routine. A real bonus to our simple life as we grow old. Thank you Mike and keep safe too and healthy.

Love the cautions and suggestions. The alternatives in the upper right are a wonderful addition. As someone who had a fall, I am thrilled to have a video that will help me not do it again.

Thanks Mike for these exercises! I have only done about four day's worth but feel the difference already.

Excellent, as always! Thanks so much for all of the work you put into the additional written and video material for preventing falls. I think that many of us have a real fear of falls as we age, and doing these exercises is imperative to giving us more strength and confidence -- and knowing what to do if we or a loved one does take a fall. Mike, bravo!!! Your approach to senior exercise is such a gift to all of us who follow your videos and written pieces!

Thank you Mike! Wonderful video for those of us with compromised balance (for me, neuropathy), and you are so patient with us "old fogeys"

Excellent routine and love the progression boxes. I have MS so need to constantly work on my legs and balance. This one is perfect to add to my week. Thank you.

Excellent again Mike! I love the way you take the time to explain and demonstrate each one of the exercises. I not only use them myself, but share to others as.

Thankyou for pacing it so well.

These are fabulous..I love the progression boxes...something people can work up to!

My 96 year old Mom and I did this work out today. Thank you so much, Mike. Mom is doing great and is glad to be strengthening her legs so as not to fall. Love your set and the color of the wall behind you.

Excellent Video Mike! Thanks so much for taking such good care of us. I will be sure to share this with my family and friends. Take care and keep smiling and having fun😘

I like these very much- Especially because you actually do them with us in real time-. They seem easy at first but the slow repetitions really work the muscles. Thank you!

This is the exercise I needed most along with your other exercises. Thanks Mike.

Thank you Mike, these exercises are going to help me strengthen my legs and in bending more.

Mike, l hope you read this! You forgot to tell us that pulling torso forward and rolling it to propel up, makes standing up MUCH EASIER. l was shocked that l had so much difficulty with but then l watched a friend do it and l tried again by rolling torso forward. Easy peasy.

Excellent! I like your new setup, Mike. The accent wall sure makes a big difference. As always, your plants look happy & healthy. You definitely have a green thumb. Love from So. California.

I did this video yesterday just to see the new format which is so good. I like the progressions and invisible chair. I am not vulnerable to falls but good leg exercises anyway. Thanks Mike.

Thanks Mike-having had a fall and fractured a vertebra, this set of exercises are a really gentle way to recover my confidence and strengthen my legs after 2 months of very little movement. PS Can we purchase a turquoise T shirt like yours. Maybe you could have your logo on the back. I'd certainly buy one! Just a thought.

Thank you for showing these exersices.😮❤

Estoy encantada con estos ejercicios! Mil gracias! Bendiciones, 🙏🏻

Great job I am working with you

Great service.Great exercises 🙏

Great Topic. Very Important.

Mike, and magician-in-the- making, this routine was well thought out. I never mind moves you've done before. It's about the design of the routine, how you mix it up. I'd commented before that I do balance exercises, including the dynamic ones about 3 times a week and they've paid off. I've been doing the tandem walk and on my toes both forwards and backwards. The figure 8s were fun. As for the hip and knee extensions and the hip abductions, I was able to do all of them without holding on, thanks to your videos and practicing. Your well researched article was great. I have to assume you'll be adding this very important video to your compilation of exercises. Thank you for starting my day knowing I'm doing very well...Anastasia

Wow Mike This is just what I needed!I have been less confident walking outside lately so I feel that as I regularly work through these particular videos I’ll become fully confident again. It’s not a good feeling when you start to lose your confidence so thanks again for your wisdom and support 💕💐🎉🙏

Thanks. It's very good!

Thanks, Mike. I especially like the emphasis on slow, controlled movements that strengthen the muscles more than quicker moves. In another of your videos I also saw a seated straight-back 'sit-forward' move: great! No rounding! Really helps to strengthen my abdominals. And I'm working on decreasing my just-discovered upper-back curve. Mum was right when she said, "Dear, don't slump".....

Some of these exercises are ones my therapist had me do after having hip replacement

Mike my husband has very bad balance & walking & he did this whole video, I’m so proud of him. Thank you, loved how you made the chair “disappear 👍

Thanks Mike, it was not too difficult, except for the balance parts. My weak point that I'm working to improve for a very long time, Maybe it's my PD or maybe I inherited it from my blessed memory Mother. My Father was a champion of climbing on very high ladders and working there for a long time being a wounded person in WW2. Noone knows.

Great video, liking the progression Thanks

Thanks allot Mike

This is a good series and I enjoyed the inset for improving the exercise as time goes on. Also, enjoyed you magical ability to change the chair when you need to. lol The new format is great.

Love it!

Loved the way you did it Mike with progressions and invisible chair, very high tech. Progressions would be good on other videos. Thank you.

Mike, could you answer a basic question of how often to do exercises? I am 70 years old and in good health. Use an eliptical most days for 20 minutes. My question is related to your videos. I watched 1 where you showed how to do leg strenghening exercises while standing and seated. An earlier video. Should elderly people like me do them EACH DAY or every other day?

Hey Mike, excellent, gentle, encouraging video! Great intro as well. :-) And LOVE the invisible chair! :-) Looking forward to going through it. I like how you have the progressions; I now have a use for those ankle weights! I would love to try at least some of these with my mom who is 97 and uses a walker. Physiotherapy is in the works but until that happens, I'd like to do the knee flexions with her. We have done these before. If we do only those, will she need to do warm-ups? She is quite frail and I don't want her to strain anything inadvertently. Thanks so much!!
