Hi Mike, Just a big thank you from Swindon, England. I love the exercises. I’m 80 years old, and put in 30 minutes with you, after I do a Zoom Tai Chi and Qi gong class. Again a big 🙏

Thanks Mike for just the right thing for me, a very new 71 year old beginner. I hope in a few weeks to move to heavier weights, and I think I can keep up with this now thanks to clear and simple stuff! From Oregon.

[raffinataonline]

Thank you. This was perfect for working with weights the first time. 👍

[charliegowing]

I see what you mean by the right weight. I will be going to a lighter one before I hurt something. Thank you. Charlie in Syracuse NY.

Hi Mike from Israel 🇮🇱 thanks GOD bless

[theslowwalker]

Great video and coaching. These are great for us matured youth even those of us recovering from gout. One suggestion is when doing shoulder presses to keep your elbows forward of your shoulder or chest plain. This is helpful for those of us who have had rotator cuff and or impingement damage. Also, Iʻm thinking of doing this series with no weights and using this for cardio.

[stacyc.]

Thank you, so much I truly appreciate this workout! Trust me, I could barely keep up because I am totally out of shape! I will play back tomorrow again. You make it look so easy.

[chrissiesampson]

Great workouts, life changing stuff. Many thanks Mike

[NeverTooOldtoLift]

Great to see you incorporating weights into workouts. Too many people are scared to use them.
