I’m 77 and that’s very impressive, I hope to do the same thing. 😊 I love this video it’s sensible and not over taxing .

As a retired teacher, I must complement you on your excellent lesson and teaching ability. Succinct, clearly explained, well demonstrated and based on an obvious expert professional working knowledge.

I am 73 and walk 5 km in 37 mins every alternate morning. This is besides weight training. The exercises you have presented are quite effective in easing the stiffness I feel at the beginning of my walk. Thanks a million.

If you are moving that quickly, I suggest that you are almost jogging or speed walking!!...I ran for more than 20 years and now that I am much older I am a walker but I am still very competitive, with myself!...I could jog 5kms in 27 min but now that I am walking, it takes me almost twice as long, at 51 min...(5.1km)...I seriously question your time of 7.24/km when "walking"...if true, you surely are an impressive example of a 73 old...if not true, it is demoralizing to the rest of us who are continually attempting to beat our last time...good luck to you.

Do 10-15 repetitious for each. 03:22 tib raises 04:41 calf raises 05:43 mini squat 06:18 single leg dip 07:07 hip abductions 08:02 hip extension

Many thanks for another brilliant video Will. I will most certainly be doing these exercises before my daily walk. After a fall a couple of years ago, I’ve always walked arm in arm with my husband. However, today during an assessment prior to a copd course, I had a walk test unaided which was excellent, but I did find my left ankle flapping onto the floor. I’m sure it’s due to having sprained my ankle a while ago and not having a compress put on it at the hospital! Is it at all possible that it might be corrected or made a little easier by doing the tibia exercises you did at the beginning of your video on preparing or other exercises? Thanks again Wil

So true....

Thank you. These are surely going to be helpfull.

It is wonderful to start walking after that exercise, thank you very much

Thanks for the info. I'm in 70s and already do some of these, but you make it much easier.

These exercises really do take only 5 minutes and help tremendously. I am way past 50 ☺️. Thanks Will!

I am 63 and experienced hip trauma ( dislocation followed by hip fixation surgery ) 30 years ago and I love to walk so I really struggle sometimes to get going. I casually followed along with this routine before my walk this morning and it made a huge difference. Thank you so much. I'll definitely be ordering your book!

Thank you for this and all your vids. I wonder whether this exercise would have helped my mother in the early stages of Lou Gehrig's Disease. I remember her tripping for the reason that you have just described. Of course, much more is known about ALS in the 30 years since her death. As for myself, I will add this to my regimen in memory of her. Also, it's taken me one year and nine months to recover eleven weeks in bed. I had to learn how to stand up, walk, and talk again (it was an incredible fight. The things I took for granted.). Giving the body a chance and, of course, the grace of God and a lot is possible. Thank you again.

this is brilliant advice - I'm 64 and just retired, looking forward to lots of walking to spot birds. these exercises will be a part of my morning routine that includes a couple other exercises to prevent sciatica... thank you for your video!!!!

Thx, Book is on order. So I now need to get up of the floor and learn to walk by the end of the year. I am so glad I found your channel😃

I feel so happy and relieved that this simple exercises will help me to get reed of my hip and knee pain completely, and it will help me to improve the way I walk. Your explanation is very clear and easy to understand 👍 Keep up with your good deeds, and May God’s blessings be with you for a successful future.👍❤️

After watching this video this morning, I put the exercises into practice. Then i walked to my usual pharmacy (chemist), and home again. The round-trip is about five thousand steps. No pain. I must thank you for the explanastions and demonstrations on how to alleviate various problems. Not being able to see well enough to read.......I have not purchased your book, and I feel just a tad guilty about that. Thank you for your wonderful tips to the lay people on how to maage somany problems for the over 50. In my cas 79.

We have been watching your videos on the TV and find your exercises so useful. Thank you for making this information available 🙏 we will be buying your book ❤

I'm in my 70's. I do about 1 hour walking 3days a week-weather permitting. These are all great except for the knee exercise. I can only go down about an inch without pain. My knees usually ache after my walk, but I'm fearful about knee surgery because I've had several friends who found they were worse after knee surgery. Thanks for your very clear and useful video.

Look up Dr. John Bergman on KZread. He has some great regeneration exercises for hips and knees. Worked for me the very first time. Always go back to him. We must learn to get the fluid back in our joints as this builds cartilage.

I did this before my stair workout and amazing. I normally get right foot pain after 6 sets but not today. I am so happy. Thank youb❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for coming to my channel, your explanation help me to understand.

You are so pleasant and calm. I do appreciate your videos!

These are very good for both before and after walking. I am 67 and when I go to Disney World (2x a month) I can walk 10,000 to 13,000 steps. Warming up and cooling down stretches help a lot. There is also a hip release for that sharp pain in hips when walking. To relieve hips stop walking and move the hips in a figure 8, like a salsa dance, then continue walking. It works for me, try it yourself.

I can't believe it's age related! I'm 71 and I do Yoga, swim 1000m during swimming season, do weight lifting, walk at least 10,000 steps every day. I'm fitter than most people half my age. By the way, I don't drink, don't eat sugar or bread or any animal products. My body mass index is 20.

That's interesting. I'm the same age as yourself and have a similar regime: I sea swim 3 times a week all year round, circuit training or martial arts exercises 3 times a week and do a hike or a cycle once a week. I have, however, a weakness for desserts.

I've been following your tutorial for a while and the improvement in my capability has greatly improved. Thank you

Thank you for compiling this. This is a very logical, concise, function-focused warmup routine. Very useful for people of all ages prior to walking or running. This deserves wide distribution.

Found your video yesterday. on the backside of 60, with RA and various other forms of arthritis, I continually have pain in the knees and hips. Tried your routine this morning and was surprised with the results. I'm hooked.

THANK YOU for crystal clear,easy to follow demo of each. I had been taught all of them,but SEEING them and having the vid to guide me will help. I really fell off he wagon where exercise,even walking, is concerned (76).

So good to find your videos. I am 55 and starting to feel pain on my joints and muscles, plantar fasciitis and knee pain started 3 years ago, menopause is giving me bit of arthritis pain on my fingers and my pinky is slightly crooked .. yikes!! makes me realising am getting old 😅) Your videos are very helpful and you are speaking slowly so I can understand it better. (Some KZreadrs speak so fast as if they are charged by the seconds 😂) I appreciate your guidance and thank you again. Will look into your book too.

Anything that can help, I will try. I got compression from carrying the PRC radio and crypto gear along with my combat load. It was only about a hundred pounds or so. My gait is now so gimpy jacked from my feet, with several breaks, my knees with no cartilage, my hips and sacroiliac that are constantly grinding and popping. I’m almost certain the old woman in the shoe has better hips than me.

Very helpful. Thank you.

This hits the issus causing my problems now. I was used to walking about 4 Km with ease, despite my old knee injury. Now my problem is my pain in my hips. I'll try your warm up & see how it helps. Thanks again 👍

Thank you! I will do this before my next walk today!

This is awesome, i tend to walk everywhere - hence I've neglected to give this the attention it deserves. I'm gunna give it ago prior to hitting the treadmill at the gym tonight. Tia

You are such a blessing to me and millions of other senior citizens... I'm ordering your book...THRIVING BEYOND 50.... I'll let you know once I receive it and start practising what you teach in that book... God bless you dear❤

Thanks that is what I look for👍🙏🍀

You are great . I had two right foot operations and a left knee replacement and my physical therapist has gone over those same exercises. You gave great advice to people who need this. My right foot is still bad , metarsalgia , dropped metatarsal heads and a cyst in the metatarsal head . Thanks for you advice .

You’re quite amazing in how you’ve zeroed in on the nuance of these problems. I’ve been doing PT quite a lot over the last three years first for one thing then another but no one has ever been as specific as you are e.g. in your first exercise what you do differently is the leaning against the wall and although you say “toes” I can see it’s not just the toes but the foot up to the heels. Previously I’ve done the exercise but not leaning against the wall and THATS what has made the difference. So now I have been able to relieve my pain!! Hopefully now that I’ll be doing it regularly relieving the situation before it becomes pain. In any case thank you for offering all the suggestions you do in all your videos. I made a comment on your stenosis videos video too.

Thanks so much - really helps

Certainly going to do these exercises before my daily walks... thank you!

Thanks for this advice !! Im 58 and jusr recently ive noticed whenever i go on walks oaaprox 10,000 steps my back aches ans my thighs ache ! making it unpleasant to continue ! i shall definitely rty this warm up technique ! who knew you needed to warm up before a casual walk !!!

You do a great job teaching. Thank you.

I just had extensive knee surgery 15 days ago, still sore when walking up the stairs, but when I start walking again I will try these exercises.

Another brilliant and super helpful video. Thank you 🙏

I'm sorry to hear about your injuries, but it's great to hear how motivated you are for your recovery - I hope my videos can offer some useful guidance :)

I have been doing other exercises that you have shown and will include these. I am a bit discouraged about walking ( I am primarily a swimmer ). I am recovering from an illness where I was bedridden for four years. I have been in recovery for about 3 years now - slowly improving. But with walking, I get a pain in my left calf muscle behind my knee. I think it is due to hyperflexion of my left leg. I found out that I had this problem when I took ballet. I think I have had this pain off and on all my life, because it is so familiar. I am almost 70. I feel that this is something I will just have to live with. I can’t change my anatomy - certainly not at this age.

Beautiful. Thank You

Thank you very much

This is a comment about a previous video - elderly people falling over and then can't get up. The video involved being able to get up using a chair to hold on to - but if you fall over this option is not always available. I'm 83 and this is what I do - it came from a Japanese film watching Japanese getting up from the floor. First I have scoliosis so getting on to floor is difficult because I am megga stiff on on the right side. However I manage it. At the end of floor exercises, I roll over on to my front, then using my hands as a support, I start to draw u my knees, my hands are in contact with the loor, I lean forward, my weight is then taken by my hands and arms, I draw my right leg up towards my body, the right foot toes are then in contact with the floor. I can then use the toes of the right foot as a lever to get the left foot up and under, I then use my hands and toes together to get up. Hope this helps.

Well done, Will. Another good video.

Thank you for your help thank you so much!

In mid 50's, decided to take up running, currently at 2.25 miles 2x week. Been wanting up frequency and mileage but sore/stiffness has deterred me. Gonna try these exercises, I bet they help. Have been doing Yoga for about 3 years and highly recommend it for increasing flexibility. Prior to Yoga, my lower back was a wreck and it has literally saved me. Will report back on the results...

Your exercises have been a godsend, Will, and your teaching style is crystal clear. I have looked at many PT’s on KZread, and by far your videos have been the most helpful. Thank you so much for making this information available to us folks who really need it. Question ~ the last exercise here is similar to the lying-down-on -your-side exercise you demonstrate in the 3 exercises for the meniscus video. Are they interchangeable?
