Mike, you have NO idea what a blessing your videos are in my life. I am 73 and worked out every weekday at the LiveWell Center in our local hospital, but in March my wife fell, breaking her hip. I stopped all my long walks and workouts to be with her. As her full-time caregiver, I am stuck in the house most days, so stumbling on your spinal stenosis video was a real Godsend. I was hooked and now am a regular on your site and just downloaded "A Month With Mike" and looking forward to feeling better. Thanks

My husband and I do your exercises every week day. Three alternate days using weights and the other two days doing the beginners HIIT exercises, we would love to have the next level up of the HIIT ones! Your videos have made a big difference to our fitness since we found them during lockdown. Thank you!,

Good morning from Reno Nevada. Great and very helpful. Thank you

Mike, I finally got to this routine. I have no problem with core exercises and this one was great. Without unduly racing through each move, I managed to get in many more reps for each and even paused the video to add in a few more. I've always done the wood chop exercise with weights, but this time the experience was a bit different, intriguing, and effective. My core/abs are alive and tingling. Excellent routine. Thank you!...Anastasia

8 years after a spine injury put me in a wheelchair that took about a year to get close to walking again (blood clots and nerve damage left me with chronic pain and slow walking with a cane, residual paralysis in one leg), now dealing with malfunctioning pain pump capillarie lines not getting the meds into my spine and to painful for PT, these exercises for home use have been really helpful to keep me somewhat mobile in the interim until another surgery. Thank you for taking the time to make these.

Perfect timing, Mike! Just what I was looking for, gentle restart with core. Thanks so much!

[arquata]

Well, Mike....that was different!! I know these were primarily Core exercises, but I found they also helped my bad knees and back. What a bonus! Jennie

I just found your channel, and did a couple of your exercise routines. I have an ankle injury, and am unable to put any pressure on one leg. Your routines are great. I'm so thankful I'm able to do some form of excercise. Thank you so much, from Portland, OR
