I wish I had seen this 6 years ago, no-one was talking about sarcopenia then, and I have watched my muscle mass go down and down. I am now 81. I’m not sure I have the strength of will and motivation to get exercising now, but your videos will help! I’ve taken screenshots of your very helpful notes, so I am going to try!

This is so timely. Yesterday the doctor giving my 85-year-old mother her wellness check was concerned about her muscle loss and recommended she try some strength-building exercises. I said "I know where to find some". Sure enough, checked this channel this morning and here was exactly the video we need. Thanks, Will!

I’ve been doing these 3x/week for several months and they work!

I've never in my life been able to do a push-up, not even when I was young and an active rock-climber! But now, at 71, I have been able to get to doing push-ups against the kitchen bench. That works for me, since the kitchen bench has a smooth curved edge which is comfortable to hold, it is available on the spot, and it requires some core activation as well as the glutes and arms.
Little by little, I can feel that I am getting stronger from doing all these exercises (and some of the other ones). Thank you for making it easy!

Hey Will! I've been following your channel since Jun 2023, and rarely comment... but wanted you to know that I've incorporated a number of your recommended exercises into my program. I'm '72, and a runner for ~3 decades. In 12/ 24, I went from 4x / week @ 3+ hrs walk/jog routine to difficulty walking for more than 30 minutes without being totally "gassed." Never found a cause, but am working my way "back" following 6 months off & significant loss of strength. Am now much more focused on regaining strength as I rebuild my aerobic fitness. Thank You for your Great recommendations! ... and Im encouraging Friends to subscribe and join in! Thanks Again! -Jim

My doctor never told me about scarpopenia. Just said to me after one of my 6 mo checkups as he was leaving. " You're wasting away, eat more, " and left the room.
I knew i was losing weight during and after covid but didn't realize how much until i took a good look in the mirror. I didn't know about scarpoenia until later after doing some research. Found out about muscle loss and eating more protein, exercise .Sometime after the dr visit.

Doctors should inform patients about scarpoenia. Iwas helping my son, who was in a bad way with diabetes and other health issues who passed away shortly before Covid. I neglected myself.
Ive gained some weight back but need to strengthen muscles in stomache and glutes which i find hard to do now. Age, sciatica, burning and numbness from stomache down the legs. Spine got worse after the hurricanes here in florida. Had to evacuate 2 x.
All the comments are encouraging and helpful.

This is fantastic info for my calves. So thanks for another great video! Just a note of caution: Wearing socks to do the heel lifts on a slick plastic surface is a potential slipping hazard for us seniors. Even those of us with normal balance and foot muscle control. Perhaps selecting a footstool with an anti-skid surface would be a better choice.

Something I still remember from a few years ago: a coworker's father died and I went to his mother's home to pay my condolences to the family. They are a very tall family, not just the guy Iwork with, in the 1.80 - 2.00+ range. The 80-something woman who had just lost her husband was sitting on the floor talking with comforters and her granddaughter came in asked something. The woman - in her 80s and about 1.8m tall - said she would get it and, like a 16 year old gymnast, popped up so quickly, effortlessly and gracefully from the floor I was taken aback. It was truly inspirational and jaw-dropping.

Edited to fix autocorrect incorrections.

I love how each video contains some new information, even when it's reviewing familiar ground, as in the same muscle groups, with new ideas included!

[katrinnylander]

I just love the possibility I get to get a stronger body with less pain!!👍Thanks to your calm and exact way how to do. And which muscule I train. And I get a variety of one movement as I get stronger.
You are the best and I think there is noone who talks as calm and focused as you!👍 (People on youtube uses often highest speed)
Thank you once again!❤️

Very helpful even for a person of 74, like me. Keep it up

One thing I experimented on Heel Raises: Pointing Feet/Toes Outward on one set then Pointing Feet/Toes Inwards. Works the different calf muscles/ soleus/tibialis muscles

[yasminkhan]

Thanks for all the hard work in putting these videos. My legs are much stronger and I can walk fast without having to slow down.
