I just ran across this yesterday! I’m 64 with spinal stenosis, been out of work since Jan 12th. So much pain, I’ve had 3 injections in my spine, none work, have taken lots of pill and I’m definitely not a pill popper, so I’m so glad I’ve found an exercise that I can do at my own pace. I was always active, in the gym at least 2 days a week, had to cancel because of the pain, developed some depression sitting at home, and they want to do surgery, but I haven’t heard of a successful back surgery, so everyone that believes in prayer, say a prayer for me. I’ve Subscribed to this channel. I have to do lil bit at a time though. Did a seated session yesterday, and barely walking this morning. 😤🙏🏽Stenosis is no joke! 😢

I love this instructor! You know he, and his, "Students" could do this routine blindfolded, upside down, and with both arms tied behind his back, he's just as inspiring, up, and enjoyable as can be! I love his whole demeanor, and positivity! I've been laid up for years, but I realize I've got to do something, or I'll be in a wheelchair. This man made me decide to conquor this workout! It's perfect, though I'll need to stop a lot - I'm determined, and I'll love doing it with him at the helm! Thank you for putting these SS classes on YouTube; I'm so grateful! Please tell him thank you for the work he does helping us seniors!

Ian is the best trainer I've ever seen. He's always upbeat, and gives us a great workout without having to use a bunch of equipment. My wife and I are both 72 and need these workouts in this pandemic time. Keep it up Ian.

Ian, I’m 61 and started watching your videos in October 2023. I find myself smiling while I’m doing them. This is the longest time I’ve exercised in a row (6 months) without quitting. Thanks for the kick start. I’ve also shared with my friends. Keep doing what you’re doing.

Wonderful workout program! I combine this with a either 7500 or 10, 000 Disco Step program designed for seniors -- five days a week, and I am able to stay fit. Love it...

This 66 year old (silver sneakers) from NJ searched and searched for a good, fun workout class and finally found it. Ian you are the BEST instructor as you make the class fun, challenging and provide great music too. I have looked forward to doing one of your classes each day via you tube during our stay at home. Even though we have opened up I will continue to repeat your classes each day . I can't thank you enough.

Thank you for adding this video. I am currently recovering from a year of cancer treatment and my mobility and stamina are low. I've been doing just the sitting ones but was really happy that I could complete this standing one today. It was a good pace without exhausting me.

[marilounewell]

Awesome music right volume to get the beat into the body and help it move...excellent movements taught by a professional. Great in all ways. From a 70-something woman.
