Please do this with a person who real problems getting off the floor.
They won’t do that because old people like me pass gas when we do things like like this.
And how exactly would that make the video instructions better?

This is such great advice. As a 66 yo who started working out with weights this calendar year because I could feel the decline, I can say it’s not too late. Take it slow but just keep working toward the goal. I can now drop to the floor & get myself back up to standing. Sometimes I need to use the floor but I am working to do it without that. The longer you wait, the more difficult it’s going to be. Move! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
As a 67 yo I agree.
Bravo!
Nice, be sure to do it to both sides.
Start incorporating turkish get up's...first unweighted then weighted and you'll see some serious results..
Turkish get up's are so OP
@@midnull6009what is “op”?
I'm 61 and athletic but I've started doing daily floor to standing hands-free exercises to preserve my ability to do this. Thanks!
Beth is demonstrating some significant leg strength here!
I had my own idea of a get-up-from-floor exercise I was going to include in an exercise program I was developing, and I came across this. When I went to try it on my own, I realized that this is no joke to do without hands! I'm a personal trainer and I do 200 lunges every week, but this move without hands made me feel like a beginner, lol. Good stuff!
At 73, I've been getting up off the floor every morning for a couple of years now. Definitely a "hands-aided" version but no other support. Glad to hear Peter's warning about being properly flexible and warmed up for the full version! The step-up exercise seems to be a good complement for the "get up Barry"
As a 68-year-old woman, I'm more flexible than most and 20 years ago was a pretty good yogi ;) I think in addition to relearning how to get off the floor (including your move) part of the problem is middle mass :( It feels like my belly "hinders," shall I say, my getting into the proper positions (and I'm not huge). The last few years, I end up on all fours before I'm vertical. A really embarrassing time was trying to get off a curb at my grandson's parade. I was there alone and couldn't bring myself to ask for help, so waited till almost everyone was gone. Can't have that happen again. I will be working on this! Thank you!
thnx for the warning😲 CALL FOR HELP !!!!
It’d be great to show you teach an elderly person. I cannot imagine my mom being able to do this. Thank you, I myself will do this exercise (57)
Yes I am in my 70 s and I can't get up of the floor..I can't do what she's showing
I agree with both @lseh4720 & @ichaffee1 .
I do not want to take anything away from the great work that is intended by this video.
A) When anyone is thinking of movement techniques for an elderly person ( person with mobility difficulties).
First
- wear thick gardening gloves (preferably 2 pairs)
- swaddle your elbows, knees, neck & ankle by wrapping towels.
- tie 2 pillows on your midsection.
- wear tinted goggles.
This is the situation elderly people are facing.
Now try whatever exercise you have planned.
As Dr Attia says " ...this is an advanced move ..." by practicing and trying you've done a great thing.
Keep up the good work, I appreciate and enjoy the videos. 😃
How neat! I used to do this when I was a bellydancer, except we had to manage to do it to music in a glittery skirt, make it look pretty, avoid flashing the audience, and do it all with a smile--- often while playing finger cymbals! I suppose this is my version of "uphill both ways in the snow?" I looked up a "Turkish get up" and sure enough, we used to do that move too-- and Turkish style dance often does a lot more floorwork than Egyptian. Such cool stuff....I'd better come out of retirement and go back to these before I lose mobility.
During a break while mountain biking, my husband stood straight up from sitting cross legged on the ground when he sustained a bucket handle meniscus tear. It was a loud pop! He was 62 at the time. He has managed to avoid surgery, so far, but he has adopted mobility movements into his workouts, like this exercise, to avoid it happening again. Thanks for this content!
Shorter versions of this content is really good, easy to understand and digest. Keep them coming
I’m so happy!! I could do this straight away with no hands (I tried before getting to the end of the video and seeing Peter’s warning about warming up). I’m 66! 😊
You don't know me Mr Attia, but you inspired me to excercise every day - noone could do that for 31 years of my life.
Always hated any kind of movement. Being a fat kid, fat teenager isn't pleasant. Now I'm 35 kg (about 70 pounds) lighter after a year of Rybelsus (Semaglutide) and 6 months of excercise in zone 2 thanks to your podcasts. I excercise since Christmas and can't even begin to describe how great I feel. Muscles got bigger, fat melted away. I ruck, I do zone 2 on stationary bike while listening to your podcasts, I walk 5 days a week, I practice balance movements etc. It's awesome. I was even able to build muscle while on semaglutide thanks to your short on UA-cam related to rapid muscle loss in patients on that drug.
I hope you never feel doubt about your work, cuz you shouldn't. Thank you.
Sorry for my grammar, not an American :)
These short exercise clips are absolutely brilliant. Thank you to both of you.
Wanted to thank you today. I've been so close to being able to do this for about a week. I have bone on bone OA in both knees and one that is prone to dislocate😊 upon muscle stress, but today I cautiously went for it. I was careful of my form and used my hands. I did it🎉
Awesome! Way to go!
I can't tell you how much I appreciate these little gems. Thank you, thank you Peter and Beth!!
Very nice. I try to do this….. I am flexible for a 190 pound woman, but it’s hard to get my butt around (& I’ve been practicing yoga for 10 years, have a knee replacement and some foot surgery). It would be nice if they showed one of these videos for 70 year old, mature-sized people, on slippery floors. That is my situation!
Managed it straight into no hands, but noticed a significant difference from left leg forward to right! I expected a certain level of asymmetry, but not that much. Great exercise, thank you.
Thank you for hosting this woman and this method.
It’s so wonderful I ran into this video. I’m a healthy 58-year-old and I exercise and keep myself very healthy. And I was getting off the floor the other day not feeling very elegant or graceful and this is going to help so very much. Thank you.
This is very good information and accurately demonstrates the proper flow. I am a 75 year young retired strength and conditioning coach for over 45 years. I am still actively exercising and in my opinion, these two know what they are doing and are able to clearly communicate the proper sequence to the movement. Great job!!
Great short videos Peter and Beth, enjoying your book. Hip and knee replacement have made getting up off the floor tricky, this video has given me some new ideas to work on. Thank you both
Why do I feel alive when I watch you two work together to help better our health.
I'm about to turn 70 and have been doing this for several months. Prior to learning this move, I was doing the stand from one knee down on a foil board. Add an unstable base (a board floating on water) to this portion of the Barry get-up and you have a true level 4 challenge. Though it wasn't touched upon here, it is important to practice this from both sides.
She doesn't get it. The real problem is not the initial part that she says it is, it's the last part where I'm trying to stand up. Somebody with old, aching knees cannot do it without the support of at least one arm.
Building muscle strength in the core and legs (and thereby the knees) will help that. Start out easy, there’s plenty here on UA-cam to help you but if you can go to a local physiotherapist for a session or two it will help you
@@fc4660 I thought this exercise/technique was exactly for people who don't have enough strength in their core and legs. Those who have enough strength don't need your tutorial.
@@fc4660 People who have muscle strength in their core and legs don't need your tutorial/technique.
I don’t recommend this video
This is utterly impossible for those with damage. Warning!!!!
Thank you Beth and Peter. We watched, warmed up, then practiced aspects of Barry's get up today in our neighborhood move group. Ages in the group are 51-88 and the get up is a goal for us.
Love the shorts! I love knowing the why behind what you are doing. Keep them coming.
Thank you for sharing this with people to remind us how we evolve. Good work.
Brilliant movement analysis! Beth is a genius!
I love this exercise, START EARLY, I remember reading notes from a doctor from India, he discovered that older patients who could not stand without the use of hands had a life expectancy of 6 years…
Love these little hits! Every time I get young! Thanks you two.
I never considered finding a better way to get up from the floor. This was great. Thanks!
Great job demonstrating Beth!! Thanks
deserves millions of views.. very helpful
great teacher thank you I’ll do this tomorrow morning
Oh love this move. Thankyou for the demonstration.
great exercise, I always learn a bunch from Beth & Peter, thank you for that, also turned 63 today and about to do the birthday workout!!! everyday I do something for my health and fitness!!!
Fantastic exercise guidance and something for me to focus on as a mobility test. Thanks guys!!
Very well explained! I broke my ankle in May of this year and I'm still working on gaining leg strength by doing squats and hip mobility excercises. I also work on my ankle mobility and foot strength. I am going to incorporate this into my training routine, because I think it is essential to work on the ability to be able to get up and sit on the floor without help. I hope to be able to do it in the future! I am 55 years old and doing squats throughout the day (in sets of 20 repetitions) is restoring my strength and helping my balance. I can perform 100 squats for now. When I feel I’m ready, I’ll try this. Thanks for this video!
Hi! Please look into bone building exercises. The muscle can only grow based on our bone strength. Please look up Bio Strong studios and see if you can mimic any of those at home. Short,( 10+15 seconds) intense pressure for bone building.
All the best:)
Blessings
@@happy777abc Thank you very much!
Amazing explanation... invaluable
At 59 I had a 5/6 torn medial knee menicus from too much force forcing the knee in a yoga stance, coupled with running (probably the all out sprints) with a 35 lb packpack. Instead of the recommended surgery (it depends on how well you can tolerate the pain), I did core strength, flexibility/mobility training, and slowly rehab that joint. Took 2-3 years to get to unassisted rise and drop to floor. The exercises that helped the most were very gradually increase the difficulty of squatting and related: isometrics, Cossack, and jumping. Im making these harder very very slowly bc if I did too much the pains return after a day (DOMS). Very important to listen to your body.
Thanks for sharing your story of the recovery journey 👍 hopefully I'll avoid that kind of injury, but I've previously got close and being simply more careful wasn't helping. A change of focus and gentle increases has helped me too.
So glad I found this channel!
Beth is truly brilliant
Once this ability of not needing your hands for standing up from the floor, literally saved my life, I was walking very quickly in the streets with my hands on my jacket, when I stepped in a hole 🕳 and I was about to crash my face in the concrete, when I did the stepping up without hands very quickly, like four times in a row till I was tottaly straight without my hands, I was 57 years old by then, I recommend to practice it daily.
Great! I've been looking for this exact advice.
Every time i practiced Martial Art i stood Up Like this. It is my favorite way of standing up
OK I'm going to start practicing. Thank you!
These are great movement patterns to learn, thanks Beth & Peter for showing the step wise execution of it to make life easier. Also Peter, I would suggest that it assumes you have healthy hips as it requires internal femoral rotation and > 90 degree Illeo-femoral flexion. I have one resurfaced hip (but still get wicked FAI) and the other requiring resurfacing, not sure if that's common by 60 but I avoid getting on the ground at all costs LOL!
Thanks, for this excellent tutorial!
Excellent!! More of these videos please
Great video! Great example!
Thank you for this video. It will help me immensely. ❤
Thank you . I will try .
So glad i found this. I've made this a goal for this year. What I've been struggling to do is embarrassing. This is an actual plan to make it happen
Thank you. Life saver.
Thanks, that's a brilliant exercise 👍
Thank you for this, Beth is a great teacher. As a runner, I am stiff stiff stiff at the end of a run. How do we create or exercise lower leg rotation and flexibility?
Excellent content. Thank you
THANK YOU I have never been able to figure out the mechanics of this move. My daughter says its the only way to sit down with a sleeping baby in her arms. Raising children I didn't know it was even a possibility. This is something I want to learn to do for when i have great grandchildren
Excellent movement!
This is great, will be trying it.
Now do this for more typical conditions of seniors needing to get up off the floor. Typical limitations such as for those who cannot tolerate putting weight on their knees because of previous knee replacement surgery, for those lacking the necessary leg strength to be able to push up to standing with just one leg, or for those lacking the necessary flexibility. Also, the balance point for males is different than for females.
Fabulous video thank you
We wished we could do that!
Thank you for the short videos.👍
Great video.
Thanks for this!
This is so helpful!
Ty! Informative abd helpful!!!😊
You make this look easy!
This is something to re-strive for… Thanks so much for this incredible instruction! I have torn meniscus and stage 2-4 osteoarthritis. I found this out when a baker cyst exploded. I’ve been in PT for about six weeks and doing well. I was active bodyboarding and mountain biking, and then all came to a halt several months ago. I continue to do hikes, but they weren’t consistent, maybe once a week. I am now driven to be active again. I’m 67, 5‘5“, 116 pounds. I won’t try this yet, but having these issues is this something I’ll ever be able to get back to to?
Brilliant, thank you
nice miniflow,thanx
good advice
Thanks, that's a cool way of getting up. And I especially liked peter's saying not to do it cold. I am 78 and recovered from spinal stenosis surgery and various (hip, knee) replacements. Since I do a lot of physical therapy exercises, I put them in a certain order. Starting flat on my back, I do some things (baby pose, bridge . . .), and then I get up. By that time, I am warmed up a little and it's easier than it would have been if I had done it cold. Anyway, I get back again and do some other stuff. My point is that it is useful to put the exercises in a certain order, and then you can also remember them easier. By the way, if you ever get too proud of your up and down techniques, try watching Japanese people (like in Samurai movies). It's not even a thing for them.
Yep, and there's nothing unique about the Japanese. I've been living in Japan for 47 years and I can still get up off the floor as easily as the average Japanese person and easier than many, who use armchairs and sofas and suchlike Western furniture in their homes. Our house is Japanese style, so we get plenty of practice.
Loving this! No one does this
Good video. Thanks to a history of doing yoga, at age 86 I can do this - but only using the hands too. It’s good enough!
movement is life!!
thank you
I would love to learn stretches and strengthening exercises to build up to the Barry get up. Also we need some adaptation options for those with replaced knees, hips, inflexible feet and ankles, crippled hands and fused wrists. Haha. I’m a hot mess of titanium! Grateful for surgeries that have kept me mobile though. Always grateful. ❤
Would be a dream come true if I could do that. Gonna try. Thanks!!
Thanks. Easier to do.
You make that look very easy
Thanks god bless😊
Been doing this since I was a kid. It's not new except perhaps for therapeutic use I guess. Kudos for presenting as that!
Peter, are you going to create a full workout plan that covers all the exercises that you listed as essential in your book? I'm sure a lot of people would be willing to pay for access to such a resource. These short UA-cam videos are nice, but in the end they leave us all uncertain as to which exercises we should really do, how often, how many reps etc etc.
What is his book’s name?
The books name is outlive.
These questions are individual based, so a good coach should be able to answer.
Well done
I did this for the first time this morning. It is not easy for me. I definitely need to put the hand down. Gotta start somewhere.
Excellent! 😊
Very insightful as to why that is difficult. When I first started to exercise, even lying on the floor was painful for my tissues.
Same steps seen in Budokon Mobility work. .ie. some BJJ work. Nicely done.
I like this vid. Good insight.
I have to move for around for work and I am in my 50's. I see other people around me as young as in their 20s' who act like they need a crane to get up once on the ground. Need to keep moving folks.
Hey! I resemble that remark!! 😜 (Sigh)
Too much sitting in the IT field...
How'd you know? Seriously...helped me out a lot...
I will definitely work on this. I severely injured my hip when I lost my balance and fell into my bed frame.
Thank you I recently had my left knee replaced and right ankle replaced, I will be using my hands!
We learned this drop and spin in modern dance when I was a teenager in the 1970s. I used to easily do it. Now, I find getting up off the floor difficult. Thanks for the reminder I have muscle memory to practice with.
I can confirm this is a great exercise.
With arthritis in my foot, and a cyst on the top of the arch, this is a difficult maneuver. But I get the concept, and will work on it. Thanks for the tips and tricks.
Yep. Hard when bad knees. Can do with hands. Will keep trying. Thanks
So great to finally have a visual of the movement I read about. Thank you! Would love to hear the comparison between this movement and it's cousin; the Turkish get up, how to program each as far as sets/reps and when to program this. Is it something to do instead of a Turkish get up for X reason(strength or mobility deficiency), or something to do along with?
