At 65, I have lots of time to get out and do physical things. I retired 5 years ago and have been averaging 2 hours a day doing physical activities. Its was fantastic to finally have the time to do this. Working always got in the way!

Congrats. Way to many people don't have a retirement plan and would be better off continuing to work rather than stopping all activity like many people do.

Since I retired, I go to the gym 5-6 times a week. I do resistance training and cardio. It makes a world of difference. You need to be out of breath a few times a week while doing cardio.

Dr Kernisan not only has great content that helps a wide range of people, her communication skills while looking at the camera are excellent. Pace, engagement, and energy level while verbally communicating are better than most others who appear on camera and ask for viewers to pay attention. I look forward to listening more.

Thank you from an 85 year old retired gerontologist/social worker. Until recently I was not an "exerciser" (an understatement). But when I deteriorated to the point where just to get around I had to hang onto the furniture, I broke down, bought some resistance bands... and, surprisingly, started using them. Everything you said... and I've told clients... is true. EXERCISE does wonders in so many ways. It's really nice to be able once again to get out of a chair and walk around without looking like the geezer I am. If I live long enough I might even get to actually enjoy exercise but I'm not holding my breath.... mostly because if I do, someone's gonna come running to take my pulse!

Oh, I love this! That is so great that you started exercising!! Yes, it's better to start earlier, but it's almost never too late and we do see even frail people improve if they find a way to be consistent about even small amounts of strength training. Thank you for sharing your story!

@@BetterHealthWhileAging No problem... thanks for the encouragement. One thing further... to all those who tend to the chubby side of the spectrum, keep your chins up! I once was much heavier and when I reduced by 70 pounds, I looked like a partially deflated balloon. Then I started exercising and put on some muscle. I now have far too much skin flopping around uncontrollably but I can delight all onlookers (I wish) by wiggling my Man Boobs!

Activities need support with the correct eating plan.

Thanks for this video, Dr. Kernisan. I've been on a whole food, plant based diet for 4 years now. Started exercising and have gotten stronger with better balance and some nice socializing as I do strength training with a neighborhood group ! Plant protein is good for me and very good for the planet and animals! Thanks for the great information on the benefits of exercising !

What a wonderful video provided by a knowledgeable, compassionate doctor. We can’t get a much more comprehensive overview of how to stay healthy in this area as we age. Thank you very much for caring.❤️

So glad to have found you and your channel! I was sedentary until 68 and my body's abilities reflected that. At 68 I joined a women's running program and ran my first half marathon at 72. Going through the process I had so many thoughts about how much more exercise does for the older adult than we were ever told and how there are very few credible sources of this information available for older people teaching them we not only can but should be physical and we're so much more capable than we were led to believe we can be. We're told don't do that, you're too old, you'll hurt yourself instead of what you're teaching people here. Thank you! New grateful subscriber.

It would be great if you can post example exercise video for 30min -60 minutes in each of category would be so helpful.

57:23 A very thorough assessment of the benefits of exercise for the older person. Many excellent tips in maintaining strength and also increasing your ability to continue living your best life for as long as possible!

Thank you! Why don't you already have millions of subscribers? It's so easy to learn from you, quite different than my own doctors who chastise me while giving similar medical advice. Scolding and shaming is the best way to ensure that a patient/client isn't going to listen or heed their advice.

Nice deep-dive into senescence with/without exercise. Regular, strenuous exercise in combi with a plant-based diet is the cure for the majority of ailments and for staying self-sufficient with advanced age. Yeah, any exercise is better than no exercise 👍 Loved this well-informed and well-researched clip.

At 73, I box, do TRX and Weighra. I love exercise….I work out with ladies half my age. It is critical for my mind and body. Stay in bed and you die. My husband is handicapped now and I have to carry and lift. Love exercise inside , and in a cool area.

Thank you Dr. Kernisan.

I am in hospital and seeing alot of older people and I'm thinking, Let go home and I promise to get fit and healthy and stay like it.

Fantastic! Thank you. I enjoyed it very much. You are sincere, eloquent, and knowledgeable, and I learned quite a bit.❤

very helpful to me Dr Kernisan, im a year away from 60 but have begun with the strength, balance and flexibility exercises. You've explained it in a conversational way. thanks

Sooo comprehensive! Thank you!

Respected Dr. Leslie I think , It is one of your best videos' about Health which cover not only elders but all family members. I was hoping it from you but after a long wait finally I got it , importance of Exercise in our life. Thanks a lot. God bless you

Thank you Dr. for another excellent video. I try to walk at least every other day, sometimes every day. I knew this along was not enough. You made me realize how important it is to do other exercises. Again thank you Dr.

Wonderful information. I'm 75 and have found exercise is so helpful.

Thank you Dr.!

thank You

Great information for keeping healthy.

I began 18 months ago with PT (2 times per week). I then added water aerobics alternating with my PT routine. Graduated from PT and began 5 days a week with water aerobics. Now I am doing silver sneakers 3 days a week and water aerobics 2 times a week. Feeling much better. My range of motion is still an issue but I can now get off the floor on my own. It is well worth the effort. I am 67.

Flexibility is definitely what I need to work on. It is relatively easy to self-diagnose lack of strength in muscle groups, poor balance and lack of cardiovascular fitness, but it is much harder to work out which exercises are needed to improve your mobility and flexibility. I have a physiotherapist consultation tomorrow, so hope I will get a better idea of which exercises to concentrate on.

Excellent thanks

Walking and doing half jumping jacks and arm circles with more arm movement can get heart rate up hence light cardio. Lighter on joints but stationary cycle a great option.

Thanks

love your channel

Thanks for the excellent and compassionate wellness advice for seniors. I’m an a very athletic 75 year old and I can attest that my daily vigorous exercise and careful diet have given me amazingly good health and vigor when most others my age are struggling. I’m a vegetarian (except for occasional fish and eggs) and don’t consume dairy. I do eat plenty of plant protein. I question the study of effectiveness of animal v. plant protein. Seems like plenty of very muscular animals (gorillas, elephants, oxen, etc.) get along very well without consuming animal protein.

Hi and thank you for your comment. I'm not sure you need to change your diet, but if you want to review some of the literature I referenced, you can find links to many of the relevant studies I reference on the podcast show notes page we just published, which is here: betterhealthwhileaging.net/podcast/how-to-exercise-to-age-well/ Different animals respond differently to nutrients...humans evolved to be omnivores (like chimps), not vegetarians. I wouldn't extrapolate what works for gorillas to what works for us. That said, the vegetarian 7th day adventists near Loma Linda are a well known long lived population...so vegetarianism doesn't seem incompatible w aging well...and it's certainly better for environmental reasons.

Enjoyed your video. Now I'm going investigate whey protein for seniors to maintain daily protein requirement.

Run to get your VO2 up, weight training, Pilates and walking. 1 hour per day of hard stuff and 1 hour per day of moving.

I notice that at 63 my grip isn’t as strong as it used to be to be. Opening a jar is an example. Do these recommended exercises help hand strength?

How do overweight/ obese people calculate their ideal protein intake? Base it upon actual weight or the ideal weight for their height and age?

This is top advice, especially to clarify the concept of heart risks & frailty/sarcopenia. But look at the stats! The general population are SLOBS, and elders are the same demographic... ! (Maybe skewed slightly from premature deaths!) They also subconsciously feel they deserve to do LESS in their retirement, and often feel constrained by injuries and illness, diseases (including mental deterioration), general tiredness, sleep problems, chronic pain, side effects from medication, fear of injury, the perception that exercise is for young people. (Even for ppl who DO exercise, which is a tiny demographic!).. MANY real reasons (and excuses) to NOT exercise are additive. Of course the first elephant in the room is body mass! Although many obese ppl won't survive until 'old age'... But obesity is a real physical barrier & also risk factor... And a massive psychological barrier too. And for most people exercise is a NEW thing to learn and with the stress of being a noob, on top of the physical barriers... Ppl who failed to exercise in the first 6 decades of life are suddenly going to get it together?! Nope. Like so many benefits, just knowing the facts is barely scratching the surface. The motivation & routines to actually implement the tasks is a whole additional level. The point ar 46:04 is also very uncomfortable, with an unspoken desire aka greed of the younger relatives in a self deluding 'help' of the elder. When in fact they are just resisting the fear of losing their relative. I.e. concern is really just selfish. So 49:15 is the entire point: self determination for the elder. Ultimately the peak fitness goal of the young idealistic host...and many younger relatives I bet... Is fighting the fundamental psychological driver of elders - which is to die well. NOT to achieve longevity. This is the clear difference between spoken aspirations (emotional, family & societal expectations) and pure genetic programming. The advice for fitness at the gym also completely ignored the psychological barriers of an elder - especially female - attending ANY gym!! Sure there are classes for elders, but this is hardly mainstream. Maybe in Florida?? I commend the host for empathetic & compassionate desire to help elders. But being young, energetic, intelligent, focused... makes it very hard to truly understand the somatic experience and motivation of elders. Or even younger people who don't look after their health.

My local YMCA offers several programs for seniors to exercise and get some social interaction. Some classes are tailored for seniors, for example water aerobics and chair yoga. But seniors are welcome to participate in more advanced classes as they are able, for example cycle and dance. So the opportunity is there but as you say very few actually make the effort to participate.

Shaming people who don't take good care of their health by calling them SLOBS, then suspecting that caregivers of elders may be "selfish" and "greedy" reveals a stunning lack of empathy, compassion and emotional maturity. If these things are "very hard to truly understand," perhaps you should be kind and humble enough to remain silent on the subject until you gain some of the wisdom of elders.

Sometimes senior citizens exercise classes are boring even though I cant do everything I go to regular classes

FRAIL = Weak + Brittle. Basically those 2 words cover it. They move slowly because they're weak and have poor balance. They look like they will break if they fall, and often do. They lost weight due to sarcopenia, so that also goes back to weakness.

The only thing I would add is that you can eat all your protein in one or two meals. Your body will absorb it and save it for later. There are new studies to support this.

I just played pickleball 1st time age 75. My leg muscles are so seriously sore afterwards. I hike and walk and row some and thought my legs were in good shape...wrong.

This is great advice but boy, is it long winded!

it's hard watching an old man who is resolved to an early death. meaning, they knowingly are eating poorly and never even contemplating doing anything remotely strenuous. they carry about them this attitude of "i paid taxes, i guess i will die now"... you cant really reach these types of boomers.

What of

Thank doctor!!?❤😮😅😅

It’s sad to see that the majority of Americans feel going to the gym and sitting on a piece of exercise equipment while staring at their phone , qualifies as a tough workout

Maybe, but excessive workout does trigger the aging process. I've seen that happening. Too much of it is regarded by the body as an agression.

I think we need to STOP encouraging people to live longer! One of the things that threatens the viability of society is the low childbirth rate. Declining birthrates are a concern for the capacity of current and future generations to be able to provide for the needs of an aging population. Without the need to pass on the responsibility to women to compensate for a balance of births relative to deaths, perhaps we need to pass that responsibility to the older generations. Once you have passed the point at which you fail to contribute any usefulness to society are you entitled to continue living?. Perhaps Wikipedia and Google have made the Wisdom of Age redundant. In the interests of the sustained existence of the Human species we might just have to accept that longevity of life is NOT in that interest. I'm 82, and, while I do things to maintain my physical well-being, I don't think that my continued health should place any further obligation on the generations that follow me.

Get me out of bed first.
