I demonstrate 3 secrets to increase muscle strength in seniors and fifty plus. Give them a try!

[lgude]

I’m old - 79 and male. I do squats, deadlifts, curls, arm lifts at low reps, but had absolutely no idea of the sweet spot and the advantage of slowing down or the value of the eccentric movements and doing them slower. I’ve increased the weight levels so that I’m finding myself struggling. This advice just opens a way to back off and challenge myself in a way that is not flirting with injury. I lift dumbbells alone at home so this video shows a way forward. Thank you.

[DianaStitching]

This has to be the best video ever about strengthening exercises. The whole thing explained calmly and clearly. Thank you. I'm 67 and used to be reasonably fit, but recently I've realised that much of my muscle tone has gone. I have some problems with my feet and walking is difficult now. For years it was my main exercise. I can't afford expensive gym memberships so I've been trying to do stuff at home (in a very small space). Most of the advice out there is loud and fast and unsuitable for seniors. Your advice is great!

[maryoleary]

What a beautiful set/background...all the plants, flowers painting etc. You also look lovely in pink. All is all so pretty.

[zuikoglass]

Thank you. I recently paid thousands of dollars to a trainer that had me do the opposite. I did not become stronger, remained in constant pain and endured criticism for moving too slowly. This 76 year old guy is extremely glad that he found your channel.

[tonykelpie]

Lower reps, higher weight, slow movement, eccentric loading. Gradual progression.Good summary

[xraydelta]

I'm 74 and lift. I started doing light pause reps below parallel on squats last week. I already was doing static holding of standing dumbbell press on last rep of last set. But this is very helpful to see this video and incorporating more eccentric moves.

[SlingsAxes]

I will be 50 in 3 months. Seems like I found your channel at just the right time. This video specifically is just what I needed. Thank you, ma'am.

0:17 1. Reduce number of rep to 8 or 10, or even only 5
1:35 2. Reduce your cadence (tempo)
2:36 3. Eccentric, ie the opposite contractions
5:16 not all at once

[cudgee]

Just found you on Youtube. Subscribed straight away, about time there is somebody on Youtube who actually knows what they are talking about and giving good and sensible advice. I have been doing these techniques for years now, no more than 8 reps under load, but concentrating on form and the concentric method. I am pushing 70 and feel fantastic and everyone tells me how good i look. Better off doing 5 reps properly than 10 badly. Keep up the good advice and have a nice day.

65 and have been active since i hit puberty 14/15. Listen to your body, forget no pain no gain. Margaret has this ! Thank you

[sawong]

At the gym, eccentric workouts are called negatives. The Slo Mo chair sit should be done before every sitting, instead of just plopping bum onto seat. Love your kitty spotter 3:50.

[kathycohen]

I am so surprised on what I learned watching this video! Thank you so much, will be subscribing to learn more!💪🏻🙏🏻

[christinemeleg]

Thank you! I am slowly and carefully returning to weight lifting, resistance bands and walking. I had to take off sometime and now boy oh boy I can feel each exercise! Yes I saw my health care provider first! But your teaching is making sense of what I need to achieve! My health care providers are new to me, they are still aghast at my goals! So slow and easy it is!

[lgude]

I’m 80 and male and currently suffering from quite a bit of pain in my S1 and working with my MD and physio. An epidural has been approved which has worked in the past - about 20 years ago. I’m carefully lifting to maintain strength where I can without stirring up my back. So these ways of increasing effectiveness are most welcome. I tend to get into the 12-20 reps range and these instructions are crystal clear. Slight changes that can increase strength without increasing the chance of injury. Perfect! Thank you.

[ToolsfortheJobofLear]

Very helpful in prepping to get back in the garden this spring. I'm a retired peds OT and appreciate your detailed explanations--thanks! Karen

[orionmachine]

Up @ 5am. Run 5 miles . Thinking about moving the outhouse closer😀

[suescape]

I'm a group fitness Teacher and so happy to hear this video as I'm always trying to help people understand the importance of going more slowly - thank you

[oywduqr]

Hello Margaret, I have an essential tremor through my body, at this stage my Dr is not sure if it’s Parkinson’s. After seeing your Three exercises I have been exercising 3 times a day, my walking has improved so Thankyou. Betty.

[sharonmitchel]

Thank you! My PT had me doing 3 sets of 10. I was able to move to 2 sets of 15. Though no longer going to therapy, I’m still doing the program the therapist gave me and am ready for a next step. I’m incorporating your secrets starting today. Thanks so much.
