I am a professional harpist and now that I am older (72) I have noticed weakness in my arms and shoulders. This is fatal for a harpist! But I have been doing these exercises for a month and find good results. I often have to perform for up to 4 hours at a time but now I can do it easily. thank you Mr. Harlow!

69 years old. These are just what I need. Thank you for posting

Thanks. I’ll be 55 this year and have always been physically strong due to genes and lifestyle (dogs, horses, ADHD and don’t keep still, hardly ever sit on a chair). So I have never been much for “exercise”. But a few years ago I got sick in Graves and over weeks I lost muscles to the extent that every bone in my body was visible. Scary. I got so weak that I needed to practice standing up straight and to walk without falling. I needed to be reminded of these simple trainings that can be done anywhere at any time, thanks!

Thank you for these wonderful exercises.❤❤😊😊

Thank You, I have been doing a variation of these excercises for several years and i would say I am physically strong, but I have lost some muscle tone recently due to a substantial weight loss, so I am currently in the stage of rebuilding. As a result of your demonstration, I have extended the exercises that I have been doing to the level of compound exercises and I can feel the difference.

Thanks Will.
Btw your book is great.

Thanks Dr. Will. It helps a lot to strength our muscles.

The overhead one is great, thanks! I’m 70 and had been doing rows and press ups, but I can really feel the overhead exercise in some different places. It’ll make a difference for sure. Really appreciate your careful demonstrations!

Hi! Thanks for your clear training. Just a comment... it would seem including Nutrition is a twin of good health practice. Regards

[suewright]

Very many thanks for a brilliant video Will. I’ve been doing the exercises against the wall, so I’ll continue on with the further away from the walls now, then the others. Your videos are very much appreciated.

I'm 74 and thank you for the information 😊

[shilpisaksena]

Thank You Will . I appreciate the compound exercises that you list...these really challenge the body when it gets used to doing the same exercises over and over again.

[mariamullin]

A great video for arms, will definitely give them a try thank you

I use the wall press up technique. I also use push up bars against the wall to avoid damaging the paint (added tip there) from sweaty hands. 4 sets of ten to start. My large frame adds to the weight im pushing. In a month I have noticed the difference!

[sheilalyda]

I tried the first level at low, medium, and high. I was barely able to do 5 reps for each one. Ive always had weak arms and im glad to give this a whirl. btw, im 72.
