Long term subscriber here and someone who at nearly 80 has benefitted a great deal from your videos and your book, for which I am grateful. Just a little willpower, routine and your various exercises really do produce results. Thank you. 👍

Thanks, I’m grasping this video. Us older people need all the tools we can get! I’m 66 and I was working hard until one year ago when zI sold my home in the mountains where I was cutting, splitting and stacking 4 to 5 cords of wood, mountain biking, hiking and some rock climbing when I wasn’t shoveling snow or remodeling my house. Now that I’m retired I need this video and more like it! I would love to see one on how to care for your feet, planters foot etc.

Absolutely worth subscribing. Will's advice is all good, doable-at-home, and steeped in common sense

Just subscribed and I'll share. Best physio channel I've come across. I'm 63, relatively fit and active but I've noticed I've been loosing muscle strength gradually. The clear and consistent information and advice is starting to pay dividends in my over all leg strength. 😊

Excellent choice of topics Will - especially "mental fatigue" on exercise performance (personal experience) listings for the 70+
very good as are the grip improvement tips & keeping active in winter - my favourite tip the old adage "listen to your body"

[catsnodog]

Brilliant. Your lessons are realistic and not intimidating.

Thank you, Will. Great instructions.

These are exactly what I need, thank you! For the farmer’s carry, I always have jugs of lightweight cat litter around, they’re about 10 pounds with a good handle/grip, and will be perfect for this.

This is truly overall wellness tips for over fifty. These are the real issues we are experiencing. Thank you.

I have noticed that with the farmers carry it works quite well if you have larger than the normal 1" bar on the dumbbell. Oversized grips are available or a hand towel wrapped around the bar will help.

This is exactly what I needed. I have lost a lot of strength in my hands and wrists. These exercises are straight forward and easy to accomplish. Thanks, Will! 🇦🇺🦘

[annashiegl]

I needed these. I do get a sharp pain on the top of my left wrist when I do them. I also get sore wrists if I try anything on all fours eg cow/ cat pose very annoying. Hopefully these exercises will help thank you.

[michelleansw]

Thank you for sharing these easy, yet necessary exercises! Love you!

What I periodically use are those softer balls the size of tennis balls. You can carry a couple with you; the are perfect for people who have a slight case of arthritis.

Just stumbled upon your YT channel and like your suggestions for the not as young people...LOL!
I use to do some free weight lifting in my even younger days, but I use bands and body weight, as well as some objects around the house to keep it functional...like the farmers do on the farm.
I just turned 67, and I do wrist curls with a 2.5 plate. Rolling up and down as one rep, and rolling forward and backwards. I also use the 5gal water jugs delivered to us for the Farmer's Carry.
Thank you for your suggestions and examples of what NOT to do and what TO DO instead!
