I am 63 yrs old and have sat around since March 13 2020 when we stopped working in public schools in Michigan...then I retired! I am soft and weak in every way, and have always relied on the busy lifestyle of a band director to get by. I've slowly been working my way back, with your help! I started out a couple weeks ago with just the simple short ones...this is my first venture on this long one. I really have a long way to go, but I feel good about the direction this is taking me...Thank You!!!

This is a public Thank you to you Mike and to this program. BC, (before Covid) my wife and I, now 82, were doing a decent job of going to the YMCA and keeping up with their Silver Sneakers program. AC we found ourselves at home and quickly losing our ability and desire for exercise. Surfing Ytube I found various nice exercise programs for seniors BUT when we found yours, we knew we were where we needed to be. So again, thank you, this program is excellent and you do an excellent job of working with us. Keep it up.

Hello Mark. I'm 70, year plus.
I just come across your exercises. I find it helpful to my mobility.

[alicecaulfield]

I've tried several different videos for older beginners and I must say this is the channel for me. The exercises move just fast enough so you don't get bored with repetition and easy enough to incorporate throughout the day. Thank you so much -- after 3 weeks I already feel more fexible and balanced!

Perfect for seniors who are not completely fragile, but not able to do a hard workout. Just exactly what we need to begin our exercise routine.

[pammitchell]

Thank you Mike! Enjoyed this longer one - glad you gave a tiny respite between the segments! Happy Valentine's Day to all!

Oct. 19, 2023, faithfully did my exercises today, keeping a record of how l feel after, so happy with the 55 minutes exercises, thank you Mike, have a beautiful day. 😍

[pennymason]

I feel terribly lucky to have found this workout today!

I loved this video. For those who tend to get lost on rights and lefts, Mike solves that problem by simple referring to one side then the other, or one leg then the other. Keeps me from tensing up trying to remember right or left. I love the length. Can work all parts, along with a warm up and cool down/ stretch. It is an empowered feeling to be able to do almost an hour. Sometimes I don’t get all the reps, but I get what I can do. Something is better than nothing.

Who would have thought this would be the best workout from a chair. There was a focus on every body part with constant reminders to keep that posture upright and shoulders back. My new favorite morning workout. Thank you!

[lorikaplan]

i can’t believe how much better my body feels after doing these exercises. thank you for helping me regain mobility and strength!

[caroljellinger]

Hi, this is my first time responding but I have to say how helpful your videos have been for me being that I have had three major surgeries within the past year and a half and need to start very slowly getting back to some exercise routine.
I have bad two hip replacements and a laminectomy with an L4&5 fusion . My surgeries went very well but of course my muscles were weak from not exercising much during there’s months of recovery.
I started doing your exercises and find that my muscles seem to be getting stronger and fine you so encouraging just want to say thank you.5

[philjensen]

My wife and I love this video. My doctor suggested chair exercises. We found this video, tried it and do it regularly.
Amazing how doing exercises in a chair can make us feel so energized. Definitely feel better after each session.
Thank you.

[johannalacson]

Thank you for showing up today! I missed several hours of exercise and I look for it. I will start within 20 mins. Will see you then..

[johannaglaesser]

Hey Everyone, I've been exercising with Mike since March 2020, practically everyday! and it has been life changing or should I say "muscle changing" - I did his "Ultimate..." adding weights to some of the exercises to make it more challenging! I recommend "Ultimate" to all beginners, you won´t repent.

I just found your channel. Thank you! My wife had a stroke on the Scottish island of Iona. An NHS helicopter lifted her to a nearby hospital in Oban, just in time for thrombosis (blood clot thinning).

We remained in Scotland, hospitalized for five weeks, getting her fit for travel back to the US. We’ve been back for two weeks and are still fighting with insurance, a Medicare replacement plan, for approach physical therapy. We have had to search out programs for home until we get her accepted in an outpatient program.

Together, we went through this video, and found a great level for her beginnings. She’s a healthy 65 year old and is eager to participate in more of your videos. 🙏🏽

I’ll check your resources to see if you offer material for stroke. Her right limbs are affected and her speech (slightly).

[jillbaan]

I’m 75 and am really enjoying these exercises Sometimes tough and other times a bit easier. I have just recovered from TB and have asthma and am definitely feeling the improvement.Thank you Mike.

[RichardBaker-go]
