Not a senior - yet, but not able to walk, due to a disability and find seated workouts really helpful - thank you

[wandajoycewyatt]

So, perfect 3, 5 minute sessions. I came in from the garden this morning really happy about this: I was able to go down on my knees and weed and then... I was able to stand up without the help of my shovel handle! That's big for me because I was having an extremely hard time lifting myself up from the ground. The exercises I've been doing with you is totally working. I'm getting stronger and feeling happier. Thanks Mike.

This is so good. My primary issue is my knees! If I lock them, the left hurts, but I don't know if I 'soften' them is the exercise still good? Thanks so much for making these videos. They are my way back to health and exercise!

[irenedwyer]

Not bad seem to be able to manage … not perfect but ok… now for my walk! Thanks Mike! Have a good one 😊

[abitateach]

I love learning these exercises from a young, handsome, man with a cool accent!! (65 and going strong!)

[janal]

I’m glad I found your videos. I’m 78 and I cannot balance on one leg. I am hoping these exercises will help me achieve my goal of being able to eventually do this.

[EWarne]

Definitely improving standing on one leg without holding on - thanks Mike

[analapcevic]

Than you Mike! I did't without holding on, thanks to the exercises I have been doing in the group for a month :)

[evelynestevez]

My balance is terrible but these exercises and your encouragement are so helpful. I'm determined! Thank you!!

[soniaworley]

Really great, I had an head injury, and my balance got affected very badly, will follow your videos .

[pammitchell]

Thank you Mike! Still doing this 5 minute balance! Can't wait for your peripheral neuropathy report to be available!

[jeansimpson]

Finding all your seated videos a brilliant tool for my new fitness regime, and love your clear simple instruction and encouragement. I need to protect my knees but am progressing to some of the standing exercises as my upper body strength and balance is improving - even over just a couple of weeks!

[judithwelsh]

So happy to have found these videos! Will add the beginner balance exercises to my daily list!

[Castawaygirl]

I e had both knees replaced several years ago. Are standing on one leg exercises ok on replaced knees? Thanks so much. Enjoying your stretching sessions. 😃👏🏻👍🏻

[chanpadma]

I am doing the beginner balance everyday. Standing on one leg is the hardest.

[johnnysalter]

I did this day before yesterday and it was painful to walk yesterday and today, but not so severally today.
