Im 59. I've been very ill and became weak and deconditioned. I'm walking stooped over and my legs are so weak that I can't walk very far. However life goes on and I just started a full-time job working night shift 12 hours at the hospital. I'm starting to do these exercises and others that you recommended. I can only do a few at a time but I'm going to work my way up. Thank you so much for these videos you truly make a difference in the lives of many people including mine.

After a lifetime of heavy physical work when I retired recently I started to take life easy but then noticed my legs and ankles started to weaken and were painful and the longer I was inactive the worse they got then I noticed your videos I started doing the exercises and I immediately started to notice the the pain disappeared I’ve also bought your books ,this has been a game changer for me I can now enjoy a more active lifestyle thanks very much Will .
I am 81 in March . These 5 exercises are the easiest to follow I have seen. Addressing the most common issues for us “seasoned” senior strivers. Thank you HT 🙂 Keep “em” coming!

My father was only 5'6" tall, but always stood 'ramrod' straight, to increase his height! I'm 77 now, 5'9"tall, but retained a similar posture, all my life, which helped me look younger & avoid back & shoulder pain!
Thank you!!! Amazingly helpful exercises. I am 58 and my mother is 93 and we are incorporating them into our daily routine. Appreciate your help and expertise!
I want to thank you Will for all you do for older people. ❤
The best exercise according to neuroscience is dancing.People who did a variety of dancing styles for at least 1 to 2 hrs a day, 4 to 5 times a week actually reverse brain changes that occur due to aging.The combination of exercise, mental stimulation and social engagement make dancing the best exercise. I just witness last Friday in a social dance setting, they announced for ladies to line up and danced with a Guy, celebrating his 94Yrs birthday. A lot of people said WOW 94Yrs old still dancing foxtrot, chacha, rumba swing. Etc.
I just turned 80 and you have identified some of my biggest problems - going to force myself to do these because my laziness may be the biggest problem of all. Thanks a lot.

Thank you kindly, Will! I look forward to sharing what I learn with my clients. I will certainly keep in touch and spread the word about your wonderful work !
Love and appreciate your videos. A suggestion: at the end of each video, it would be great if you briefly remind us of what you’ve just taught us. For example: “So, spending a few minutes a day doing , , , , and will help you look younger (etc., etc.)” would be of great benefit to help your viewers remember your content. (It falls under the “Tell them what you’re going to teach them; Teach them; Tell them what you just taught them” rules of effective presentations. Thanks!!!

Oh my! I'm 67 and I am so glad I found you. I started right away with your exercises. I know with time , it won't be so difficult. Yes I also just subscribed.
Just found your channel, Will. I'm 67 and I'm going in for a hip replacement next month and dreading it even though I'm really fed up of my increasing immobility. But I have just done your exercises on here and already feel more optimistic so thank you.
Thank you Will , your demonstrations and explanations are so clear and helpful.

Excellent. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. from Singapore
Really appreciate your effort in guiding us to be stronger and healthier with simple exercises. Looking younger would be a wonderful bonus. Thank you, Will.
These were good ! Magic for us oldies! Thank you ! A single day of following these five I managed 6k feet of walk in one go & no tiring at all!
This maybe your most helpful video yet… Thanks, Will!
Great video. Very helpful. The last one is so important, I wish more people knew that and had the willingness to do it. Thank you!
Wow I just subscribed to your channel about a week ago. I am 80 and I have all these problems. These are exercises I can do. Thank you so much.

Hi Will. I'm 61, I work with younger people, and they have started making comments that I look like I'm going to break. I have subscribed and I have found this and your other videos very helpful. Thank you.
Brilliant! Thank you! You are so generous with your knowledge 🙏🏻🙂
Thank you so very much for imparting these 5 exercises. I love them and will incorporate them into my present exercise routines.
You are the best !!! ❤Really. Only 15mn. Clear explanation. Knowing well the 50+. Good results. Thank you for your help. 😍🙏
Will. Excellent! I’ve run, biked, lifted weights my entire life. I am 69. I still bench press my weight. I noticed a decline in my posture out of habit. I stretch daily, but not for posture. I used as you spoke and knew immediately the benefits. I am adding to my at home workout. I think they will help me at the gym too. Love that you are concise. Thank you! Seattle guy.

Will: I love your video! You explain every exercise clearly. I was doing the exercises as you were doing it. Thanks Will, I subscribed & I pressed the thumb up button.
I am 59 and found out just through awareness of sitting using my hands by watching your video. Didn't even realize it. Now doing some of the exercises you mentioned.
Several of these directly address 'computer posture': slouched back, dropped shoulders and chin out. Brilliant! 👍
I'm 50+, but people think I'm 30+. Maybe these exercises can bring it back to 20+. 😉✌️

I am very active at the gym but you made me aware to keep shoulders up as you walk and pushing up on opposite leg when you walk. Thanks again..... You made my day!!!!!!
This is so valuable because many senior citizens use walkers which changes whole body posture. Thank you so much for your assistance & viedo.

These are great! I was doing ballet and rollerblading before falling down the stairs of my building. Three surgeries in my R knee, including a total replacement, now my L meniscus is torn. I’m pretty upset about having my mobility stolen from me and I want it back! Especially the ballet. Thank you. Already shared with some friends.
I really enjoy your videos, and learn so much from them. These 5 easy exercises are awesome. Simple, but you can really feel the targeted areas. Thanks Will!

Bravo bravo in your endeavors to help people in the over 50 category. For me It is doubly helpful because not only am I 55 but I am still practicing as a massage therapist helping people with their bodies and giving them advice on how to work towards alleviating these postural challenges. I will continue to watch your content and read the book. I know this will help me greatly. I will be glad to pass on your info to my clients. Happy to have found you!! I will stay in touch !
