After months of PT...this gave me a burn, much to my surprise and is actually helping me after 2 sessions, even with walking! Organized, clear, and great to follow along! Thanks so much!👍👍

Each day I used to google to find
exercises for seniors that would help me climb up and down the stairs and atlast luckily I came
across your this video. You are superb at demonstrating your exercises. I will certainly do them
and let you know my progress. Thank you doctor and God bless you.

Grateful!! Been out of exercise for two years due to a talar head fracture. Tons of PT and steps are still an issue. Thank you thank you thank you!

[premalathamunasinghe]

a lot

[cathyurbanek]

Mike, thank you for a great video. I really like that you take time to do the exercise with reps so that one can watch the video to do the full workout with you. This is better than videos that just show exercises and then say to do it on your own. I need to have a teacher as yourself to follow. Thank you 😊again.

Thank you for the great video, Mike. I really need this one especially going down the stairs. My right leg needs to get more flexible than my left. I feel great after doing it, but it was challenging..which is good. I decided I will do 3 videos..this one, the single leg strength exercise, and the leg strengthing exercise which includes sit to stand. I will do one daily for 6 days and rest on 1 day. I don't think I will overdue it. Now I understand why I have a problem stepping down on a curb. I feel unstable. Now that I think about it, on the 7th day I can do the balance exercise which isn't very strenuous. Jan

This is just what I need! I have difficulty in stepping down with my right foot - my brain seems to tell me that my foot will miss the step and I will tumble forward down the steps. I worked out that it was because I don't bend my left knee... so it is good to see this video and confirm the problem. I'd like your advice on how often I should do this workout, perhaps 2x week (working on both sides of course)? Thanks!

I purchased a step and am determined to safely navigate my stairs. I have a SCI. ❤

[maryheight]

Excellent training for climbing the stairs at Optus Stadium in the football season! Thank you so much!

[guyfawkes]

Brilliant clear and so helpful. Made a huge difference to my leg strength. Thank you so so much 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[msshorty]

This was a another great video. I really need it; I am such a klutz when it comes to walking stairs, and walking, in general, come to think of it.

[janjenkinson]

Will this help as I can not alternate my feet going up and down stairs

[GregfromPhilly]

This is a great and very helpful video. I would suggest, though, that you mention that it might be useful to have a chair on each side of the step, so that someone can hold onto whichever side is more helpful in maintaining balance.

[silviabalsam]

Have exercised all my life. When I was 22 I broke my right ankle on the ski slopes. Now this foot/ankle is coming back to haunt me. My foot will hardly flex. I'm having great difficulty climbing up and down stairs. Discouraging when there's no handrail! Yet I can play pickell ball at 77. I need to strengthen my thigh muscles for sure. Hopefully your exercises will strengthen my legs. Good video!

[paquitareader]

I understand too how it would help me stepping down curbs, as I feel so unstable.

[dvkundra]

Wonderful stretches for weak leg muscles helps in stair problems

[musicspot]

WOW! This is what I need. I'll start first thing in the morning
