I want to thankyou for your videos. I attend a wellness center 5 days a week and your workouts I told my PT person and they have incorporated a few in my workout. i recently had plantar fasciitis of the left foot. I worked with the physical therapist and found I was walking inward towards my flat arch. Had to find my outer toes again. Being over 60 and trying to be the best me I can is my ongoing journey. Thank you again!😊

The #1 exercise for your hips. Ideal for seniors, those of you over 50, and individuals with osteoporosis of the hip.

I just discovered your videos today. and I am so grateful . They are slow enough to do as I watch the video. Perfect for an 85 year old woman recovered from surgery to remove an ovarian tumor and another one to remove an intestinal blockage. Thank you so much. I
am actually looking forward to regaining the strength in my lower body. do you have a video for women who need to build up the pelvic floor to help with incontinence?

So smart. Correct form. Educational. Informative. Makes sense.

I don’t even trust the personal trainers at my gym anymore given all I’ve learned here about body fitness for people over 50 here. They are not physical therapists.

Thanks so much for all the education. I appreciate all the time and effort you put into your videos and teaching proper technique.

Thank you Margarette..I was so busy in the office and home, forget to follow your exercises. Now I have to start from beginning again..thank you for staying in you tube..I can still follow you.

[marleenmurphy]

Incredible instructions that are always clear and informative and easy to follow. Thank you SO MUCH for all your videos . I always feel empowered to improve my whole body through your suggested exercises.

[KellysRainbow]

Isometric exercises should be part of every hospital stay! Why fitness is separate from medical makes no sense. Great voice, great instructions 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[ezfitchick]

Thank you - Looks like this is just what I need after not getting the help I needed to correctly walk after hip replacement, got a new doc, and a locked knee released, now baby steps to get my glute to engage and strengthen both legs.

[kathylotter]

Thank you very much for your helping Margaret!

[tinasyoga]

excellent! Thanks (I also double the bands when one is not enough)

[Syl-Vee]

So grateful. Thanks also for explaining the use of different types of equipment and noting that we can eventually do these without using chairs and door frames.

[konnismith]

I am a fan of all your videos. Your instructions are so clearly explained. My question/comment is how often to do the exercises? Are they daily because they are beginner level or should they be done 2-3 times a week as is done with higher level exercises? A comment on frequency at the end of each video would be very helpful.

Thank you. You are wonderful instructor.

[erajefr]

I really appreciate your instructions, they are so clear, informative and easy to follow. Plus, the exercises are so customizable. THANKS SO MUCH.

[ruthrugaber]

Is this the same or similar exercise you demonstrate in a door frame in the Best standing knee strengthening exercises? BTW you give such thorough directions— excellent and helpful!

[jzzeygirl]

Thank you for offering so much information! I was looking for a video on your site that showed a workout using dumbbells. Maybe I'm overlooking it. Do you have a video posted showing examples of exercises to do with dumbbells? Thank you
