Simple Seated Warm-Up Routine For Seniors | (Do before undertaking exercise) | More Life Health

Join me (Mike - Physiotherapist) in this seated warm-up routine for those who do seated exercises.

Before undertaking any exercise routine, it's important to ensure our bodies are adequately warmed-up.

By doing this we can get ourselves ready for the exercise, prevent any injuries and also get more out of the exercise we do.

Perform this warm-up each time you perform a workout video or get out and moving!






Do your best and any questions ask below!

- Mike

I am so unfit not doing any exercises especially during this pandemic. These seated warmup exercises are just what I need. Thank you for helping us seniors to stay fit.

Recovering from C19 and pneumonia, this warm up was a struggle. Thanks

[sandradorsey]

Really like these exercise, I'm 71years and I can manage these very well, nice 🙂 👍 that you made these for the Senior population🎉🎉

[gwynethserra]

My 87 year old dad loves exercising with you!!! Thank you so much for making these videos available. I really can see his health improving!

I am 63 and just recently faced up to the fact that I am in lousy shape. Really awful. There are hundreds of senior exercise vids on youtube, and yours are the best fit for me and my wife, who is a year younger and also in rough condition. We work with you daily, and both agree that your manner, attitude, voice, and energy are so very friendly and accepting; charming. Thank you for your work here on youtube. God bless you, sir.

Wonderful series. I use them daily and am a 80 year old American physician in great shape. They go well with my yoga and Pilates!

[junewyatt]

Have recommended your programme to my golfing friends, many of whom are in the 80 years of age bracket, or close to.

I have 26 years, I have an autoinmune disease and been living with chronic pain for about 5 years. Somedays I'm not able to workout stand up. Your videos are a blessing. There's not many youtube videos of lower impact sitting on a chair and can make you feel like you did a great work. Thank you.

Hello Mike! I’m 69 and have been regularly doing your morning warm up and evening before bedtime. What a difference in how I feel. You’re AWESOME! Thank you so much!!!

[MaryHelenWallace]

Very good. I did his along with two other workouts so have "woken" both neck and shoulders, which I really needed. Thank you!

[mauriagilman]

Just spent the last hour enjoying a good workout, I am 66 and plan on continuing these workouts, thank you!

[billkarmetsky]

This gentleman is AWESOME! I'm nearing 70, walk a good hour in the cooler evenings (not the best time but daytime is too damned hot for me), stretch as much as I can my legs, neck, back after years of sitting on ass doing little or nothing. So, More Life Health Seniors, thank you, man. You are AWESOME and so needed. Your message is very needed. Your work is very needed and you will reap the grandest reward in some other realm if not this one already.

[jjall]

This was a great warm up! Very gentle on the joints but definitely got the heart rate up 👍

[Marilynn-bgqi]

I appreciate the way you have us breathe!
I have done exercises in the past had complicated breathing patterns.
I find I am able to take deeper breaths now!💨
👍🤜🤛

Hi Mike - I've been looking for well done exercise routines for seniors and SO glad I found yours! Recently fully retired and extremely happy to be done with sitting in a chair, working on a computer much of my day and very much in need of getting in better shape, losing weight and MOVING!
I really like how you created segments of focused workouts that seem to be between 8 and 15-ish minutes long. I've created a couple playlists grouping them in, what seems to me, a reasonable order and have a goal of mixing them and joining you 3-4x a week.
In particular, I have knee "challenges" (translation arthritis!) and really appreciate the leg and knee exercises and the seated options. Thank you so very much, Mike, for creating these and making them readily available! And I totally agree with the person who commented on your good energy, friendly manner and encouragement throughout the routines. Thanks again and g'day!!! :~)

[junewyatt]

This is an excellent complete body workout. I have now got a daily workout plan in action. Will do this one Wednesday and Saturday and do lower or back exercises Monday and Thursday, with 9 holes of golf Tuesday and Fridays. I'm just testing this sequence out as doing any upper body exercises the days before golf seems to have an adverse effect on my golf (which isn't that good anyway), but acceptable for someone whose 84th birthday is approaching. Thanks so much Mike. I'm glad I found you.

FIRST I START DOING YOUR NECK EXCERCISES BEC. OF NECK PAIN. AFTER JUST 3 DAYS OF DOING IT RELIGIOUSLY, I'M OK NOW. I'M DOING ALL YOUR EXCERCISE VIDEOS EVERYDAY, ONE AT A TIME, NO MORE NECK PAIN AND KNEE PAIN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I am happy to see workout videos for those of us over 60!! With an arthritic hip and degenerative disc disease in my back I NEED a easier video to follow.

[hikgerguy]

I was looking for info about improving flexibility for those 60+ and found your article "how to improve flexibility after 60", which led me here. I've noticed I've lost a LOT of flexibility and just feel generally "tight" the last 5 or so years. At 61, I want to see if I can improve my flexibility and get rid of a lot of my stiffness (especially when doing things like putting on my socks). I have high hopes for your routines and will report back in 3 months with an update. Thanks so much for your videos!

[leilagangari]

I thoroughly enjoyed the exercises. Thank you
