Mike God bless you for sharing the video n helping seniors to do the exercises to strengthen the muscle of the legs 👍🏻

[life-mmdo]

Wonderful demonstration of these balance exercises for seniors, safety precautions included. Thank you!

[barbararyan]

Mike, you are a great therapist! Thank you!

[lechaewilliams]

I love it how you get straight into it.

[elizabethbogard]

Wonderful! I don’t want to fall! These help s lot! Thanks, Magician Mike.🧞‍♂️

[auroradullens]

This new video reinforces what you have taught us seniors before which is very good as it is easy to forget once you do not do it all the time. I love the new tips and the new props you added to add more interest to the exercise routine. A real bonus to our simple life as we grow old. Thank you Mike and keep safe too and healthy.

[juniperabbott]

Excited about this! Only 48 and I've now got chronic pain and a neurological disorder fron MULTIPLE falls. Can't afford physio. Meds and feet are why I fall, but going to change this!!

[sherouet]

I am back again after long time
Thank you so much 😊

[pammitchell]

Thank you Mike! Wonderful video for those of us with compromised balance (for me, neuropathy), and you are so patient with us "old fogeys"

[idachau]

I think your "elderly" exercises are very good and worthwhile. I also think your health and safety advice is excellent. I have been to exercise and dance classes over the years, and some U.tube teachers are lacking in health and safety and good explanations... many a teacher had poor advice regarding a persons ability and safety aspects. Excellent!! I have just discovered you and intend to use your exercises as a routine. Many thanks.. great works..👏👏👍🇪🇸🇬🇧🌟

[bstern]

Excellent, as always! Thanks so much for all of the work you put into the additional written and video material for preventing falls. I think that many of us have a real fear of falls as we age, and doing these exercises is imperative to giving us more strength and confidence -- and knowing what to do if we or a loved one does take a fall. Mike, bravo!!! Your approach to senior exercise is such a gift to all of us who follow your videos and written pieces!

[stanleyj.mitchell]

Thanks Mike. Three weeks ago I had a hall. Landed on my left ribs. It hurt. Bad. But only bruises. These exercises are vital. Especially the balance. Thanks.

[wimala]

[susanwhite]

Love the cautions and suggestions. The alternatives in the upper right are a wonderful addition. As someone who had a fall, I am thrilled to have a video that will help me not do it again.

[chanpadma]

This is the exercise I needed most along with your other exercises. Thanks Mike.

[divicenzo]

Thanks Mike for these exercises! I have only done about four day's worth but feel the difference already.

[Sassylarita]

Thank you so much for your videos. My son found your channel and it has helped me so much. I will be 67 soon and I can do your exercises!

[flybyadebiwood]

Excellent routine and love the progression boxes. I have MS so need to constantly work on my legs and balance. This one is perfect to add to my week. Thank you.

[jgoldfarb]

Mike my husband has very bad balance & walking & he did this whole video, I’m so proud of him. Thank you, loved how you made the chair “disappear 👍
