Every time, I stand up , I am 100% stiff and in pain . I catch my left foot on the ground and the shoe . Sometimes I will Valgus and feel like I'm going to fall :( . My back hurts if I'm standing to long or walking .
@ 1:45 Tibialis, 20 - @ 4:38 Glutes: Hip Abduction, until fatigue/ache - @ 8:31 Hip Flexors & Glutes: Hip Extension, 20 Not just for walking, great for pre-beginners with very weak legs. Most "workouts" assume so much and they start you off at a very difficult point. This channel and Dr. Carl Baird, most helpful. Thank you!
I just tried the 3 exercises before my walk, and immediately I noticed that my balance was better. I wasn't falling forward as I walked, like I always had. It felt like my hips were a bit forward of my torso instead of the other way round. Then half way around my circuit, I tried taking longer strides, and I was able to do it without the usual tightness that I always felt. It's amazing that five minutes of the right pre-walking exercises could make that much of a different. Many thanks to you, Will. BTW, I'm 81 and live in California.
Yeah, you've reached 1 million subscribers And I'm one of them ha, ha. Well deserved. Always nice how you explain everything and what we should pay attention to. Congratulations and on to the next million 🎉👏💪
Thank you immensely for all the tips you give for seniors🙏best wishes to you in your field through which you are serving the Universe so unconditionally 🙏God Bless🙏
I've been to PT for 5 or 6 weeks each over the past 5 years. No one has ever hit my issues spot on like you. I will be doing these exercises religiously since my stride has become so short over the past 10 years and when I return from a walk and sit I feel "crippled" - my back refuses to let me get up. Congrats on the 1 million! You clearly earned it!!
First, congratulations on your reaching 1 million subscribers!!! Second, I am 50 plus years old and not only do I appreciate your channel and information but I super appreciate the fact that you give more direct information on who each video would be suited for in your titles, which I think would be a detriment to actual views, but is awesome for those, like me, who really are looking for the more specific videos that are geared towards my age, situation or exercise for my specific age group. It may be a very small thing, and most people probably don't even notice it, but I find it very refreshing that you specify who each video would pertain to, rather than the common, frustrating and overused "click bait" titles to ensure maximum viewership. You are very much appreciated, and I personally just want to say thank you and your team for all that you do, it really does help, and you make a positive difference in my life, and I am sure many others. Be well...
Thank you so much for your generous comment. I'm so pleased to hear you've found the format and the content of my channel helpful. It's wonderful to hear my work has been making a difference. I'm wishing you all the very best!
I have needed this so much. Thank you for the detailed explanation and helpful presentation. I love your enthusiasm, empathy, and the dedicatedness to your profession. One million subscribers - well deserved. Congratulations!
I’m 75 and a massage therapist. I also cut all my own firewood, two stoves to feed, so go through a lot of wood in the winter here in Canada. It’s so important for me to keep fit. Your videos are excellent and keep me going. Will buy your 2024 edition soon.
I’m 85 and have just had cellulitis and am having to learn to walk again. 🤨 Your exercises are just what I need and I think I’ll get the book Best regards and thank you
Perfect!! Hitting the mark spot on. I've often wondered why my ankles and hips are painful no only when beginning to walk, but still five or ten minutes into the walk. Definitely will be starting my walks with these three exercises. And, I'll be adding them into my daily routine as well. Thank you so much - LOVE your channel and your new book!!!
Great to hear you'll be putting these to good use, I hope these prove beneficial to help your walking. Thank you for ordering my new book, I'm so pleased to hear you're enjoying it so far!
Thank you! I've had both hips replaced and I've been looking for these exercises! I've spent over a decade in pain so I've protected my hips as I walk, or tried to walk. I've come a long way since my last surgery and am grateful for these very moves to get my inactive muscles active again!!
Messed up after days of arduous labor and strained,tight Achilles tendons, l jumped into calisthenics with some plyo , barefooted,and YIKES. I am so impatient with my body. This is helpful, Will. Thanks, and congrats on your subscribership.💯💥🤸
Congratulations Will on reaching 1M subscribers!! 🎉That's amazing! I've been watching for quite some time and I'm so happy for you that all your hard work is being rewarded!! You're helping so many over-fifties live happier and healthier lives! I'm sure your channel will continue to grow after this milestone and the release of your new book!
Congratulations!!! I have tried this priming and it helped not only my walking exercise with ease but all my house activities during the day.. thank you so much❤
I have searched the Internet looking for so many videos that will help my glutes. You are without a doubt the best I have found for my situation. I had hip surgery and have not been able to walk very well ever since I am looking forward to doing better now thank you very much.
I am recovering from a humeral head fracture( right) & came across your videos, while searching for exercises to regain strength in my arm. What drew my attention was the fact that your recommendations are for ages 50+. I have been practicing the pre walk exercises & wow it’s made such an amazing difference to my stride , feels so light & energetic when I’m walking, helped me improve my speed by 7-8% in just 4 days. Thank you
Warm congratulations on reaching 1M subscribers - so thoroughly well deserved, a great reward for all your hard and valuable work. Lots of us have been watching the subscriber count for weeks, willing it to get to this number. Here's to the next million!
Last Saturday, I decided to go walking (can't run anymore) & did a few stretches before going on my way. I've been trained to sprint. So, I was up & going to a fast pace. Here it is Wednesday & my tibialis anterior muscles are still sore, esp. near the foot. I wish I had seen your video earlier, BUT I will do your walking (stretching) exercises for all my future treks. Thank you.
At first I couldn't even tuck my tail but after three weeks I could identify the muscles and I realized that my hips were really difficult to move. Now I tuck my tail just a bit but I feel my waist loosening. Thankyou, Your channel is very useful.
I've been diagnosed with "irritable hip". The only thing offered was a steroid shot in the hip. I asked for PT, but haven't seen my therapist yet. Your psoas stretch was exactly what I was looking for to lessen the pain I experience when I walk. Thank you so much for your help.
Hi Will, I’m 65 and recovering from a badly broken and dislocated right ankle. I am almost walking again and am doing physio and hydrotherapy to help. I can do 2 of the 3 exercises fairly well but cannot do the leg back when standing on my bad ankle. I can feel the difference though with the others and will try the leg back in the pool tomorrow. I had a long stint in bed before I could start the rehab work but I have tried several of your suggested exercises, even when I was still in bed. I know it’s going to be a long and slow recovery but as this is the first injury I’ve ever had it’s really rattled my confidence as well. Your suggestions and the way you explain and demonstrate the exercises have been invaluable and I really want to thank you for that.
Will, congrats on attaining 1M subscribers 🎉🎉. I received your book today and can't wait to put it all into a daily routine. ❤ thank you so much for sharing your ti e and knowledge with us. Hugs from Texas. 😊
Well deserved one million subscribers Will and many more in future. Congratulations for the new book too. It is awesome. Thanks for whatever you do for millions of us. Your advice is always priceless.Stay blessed.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This is great as i have a sitting job, i do get up and also work out a little, but I'm the phones so it's not enough, i love to go for a walk after i get off, these will help incredibly well, thanks. Going over to sign up for your Friday to right now.
I hope these exercises prove beneficial to help you get the most from your walks. And thank you for signing up to my mail out, I hope you find its contents interesting!
Hi Will, congratulations on 1 million subscribers! I’m a younger member of your community, but I find your videos very helpful. I’m currently experiencing issues with bulging discs and weakness in my leg. Could you please make a video in the future about this topic? Is that a normal symptom, and to what degree? What can we do to help? I think your insights on this topic would be really valuable. All the best😊😊
These exercises will be very helpful for me as I have noticed over the last few years that my stride has shortened, my left foot tends to catch on irregular ground and even if I put a lot of effort into my walking, I still can't walk fast. These exercises will be part of my daily routine from now on.
Could you do a video addressing internal scar tissue, particularly from old injuries? I was in a car accident 7 years ago, and my knees slammed into the dash. I had hematomas that looked like someone shoved half a tennis ball under my skin. Unfortunately, I also had a terrible orthopedist who just prescribed 6 weeks of rest and pain meds. After 8 weeks of virtually no change and his continuing the same treatment I drained them myself. They instantly got better, but I now have scar tissue you can feel through my skin. I also now have fibromyalgia and was sedentary for years before I found an effective treatment. I’ve been building my strength and endurance for the past year, but certain things such as climbing stairs never seem to improve, and I think it’s due, at least in part, to the adhesions on my knees. There are a lot of videos out there, but most address new scar tissue after surgery. Additionally, I’d like to hear your opinion as you actually seem to know what you’re talking about. 😁
I will certainly try these stretches and exercises before I walk. I usually walk an hour a day and I have become so incredibly immobile because my right hip flexor hurts so bad. I’ve had to stay off it for a couple of days and it already feels better. But I know once I get out there it’s gonna start again so before I start I’ll take the next couple of days off to do this and every time I walk starting next week. I really value your videos he seem to be a really intelligent man thank you so very much for all that you do for people like us. And just to let you know I’m 53
My left hip flexor hurt for two years before a PT showed me how to stretch it morning and night. Now it is so much better and I can walk without pain. What happened was it grew stiff from lack of stretching, so no matter how much I exercised it, it would cause me pain. Now that it isn’t painful I can do strengthening exercises. You might need to consult a PT. This video doesn’t show that type of stretch.
It's like you're reading my mind. I started wearing barefoot shoes a couple of months ago and LOVED the way my feet felt. Only problem is that they have no arch support at all, and it wasn't long before I started developing just the sort of hip pain you're describing here. It was even bothering me when I lay on that side in bed. So I've gone back to traditional shoes that have great support. Will do these exercises and then start *gradually* back to the barefoot shoes as my glutes are stronger and hip flexors less tight. Thanks for a timely routine!
Hi Will I have just heard the goodnews that you have 1 million subscribers. Congratulations. You deserve that success -- your videos and books give such good and clear instructions. Well done. Helen
Great video 🎉 no wonder you have over a million subscribers. I have subscribed today. However, I have a suggestion. Please add a summary or a recap of JUST the set of exercises that you have recommended so as to save time and do the exercises without having to watch the complete video over and over again. Thanks 🙏
Very informative, thank you. Suggestion: Would help if at the end of your video, you recap or show and state a quick summary of the exercises. Maybe In the beginning too, a quick preview of the exercises would be enough reminder for doing them. Thanks.
Great stuff and very well explained I appreciate your calm demeanor so many of the PTs on this side of the Atlantic they make their videos like they're trying to sell you something it's information that we lack
Good info to incorporate - I walk about a couple of miles most mornings, I find it really makes me ready for the day. I’ll try your exercises you showed us today. Thanks. EAH
i love your tips and exercises! That third exercise shown in this video is a problem: my left knee immediately starts screaming when I go into that slight bend. Now I realized that it is not the actual knee that argues, but the tendon/muscle just below the knee that is not strong enough to support the knee! How do I strengthen this area, please? I know that my hip flexors are tight, due to my job as a professional calligrapher. where I have to sit and write for long stretches. I do take a break and stretch some every half an hour, but this time of year my schedule is hectic and I often have to write for a total of 7 hours per day, to meet clients' deadlines. I depend on the income from my job for my rent and food..... I love walking, but my back starts wilting like a tulip and then starts aching when I do! Also standing even for just a minute causes backache....my back has been checked, it is good. I suspect that relocating twice in 6 years, and all the bending and packing, has tightened the hip flexors and the inevitable fallout. But I am also certain that you will have a solution for me - you always do!
Thank you for all you do. Am so pleased I found your channel. Your calf raise exercise has made a huge difference to my walking - it feels effortless now! Ordered your book and subscribe to free three tip Friday email. Lots of useful information. Well done on 1m subscribers, so deserved.
Great stuff as always. I have both your books and they are full of great advice and routines. Love watching your videos. Would be nice to see you wearing contrasting colours to see the movement of glutes/back etc even more clearly. Keep up the good work.
First off. Like to say I love your videos and information. Thankyou ! I’m 49 with severe knee osteoarthritis I do ok. I get flare ups at times but otherwise I think keeping active helps Issue is I’m on my feet all day in my retail job At the end of day as soon as I sit, I struggle to get back up and my legs feel super stiff Will these exercises help me ? If I do them before work. I hope so. Will start tomorrow. !
I had a knee replacement 6 months ago and noticed that recently I have had moments when I am catching myself from falling and my lower back has been hurting. It seems like this is made for me! My gluteus maximus is very strong as I am a serous cyclist (former racer) but I think the smaller gluteus muscles are weak? Which brings me to a request and that is I would love to see priming for cycling. Thank you and Amazon is going to get an order for your book.
I'm getting pain in both my thighs and is stopping me doing some exercises . Specially on my back and raising my legs up could you show a video how to stop this pain so l can do these kind of exercises please. Thank you if you can do a video
I am 51 year old women and have severe pain on my right hip. Did MRI and found gluteas tendinosis and bursitis on my right hip with partial tear. Can you advice the exercises and when can I start doing. Whether I can go for walk and how long can I walk?

However, I have a suggestion. Please add a summary or a recap of JUST the set of exercises that you have recommended so as to save time and do the exercises without having to watch the complete video over and over again. Thanks 🙏
Nice! Just in time for our nature-walk travel vacation. I'll definitely be trying these.
I'm pleased my video came at the right time for you, I hope you have a lovely holiday!
Thank you. I will certainly do this before going for a walk. This is very helpful.
Great to hear you'll be putting this to good use!
Clear, easy to follow. Immediate results. Thank you
Fantastic Will Thank you it helps a lot You are so good at explaining how to do the exercise and what happens when you do them the incorrect way 😊
I just ordered your new book and am looking forward to receiving it soon. Your sciatica video is helping me for my newly acquired issue...thank you!
Very informative, thank you. Suggestion: Would help if at the end of your video, you recap or show and state a quick summary of the exercises. Maybe In the beginning too, a quick preview of the exercises would be enough reminder for doing them. Thanks.
Great stuff and very well explained I appreciate your calm demeanor so many of the PTs on this side of the Atlantic they make their videos like they're trying to sell you something it's information that we lack
very nice ...i hurt my knee recently then your exercises are very good ...thank you
I hope my video proves beneficial for you!
Great warm up exercise
Love to hear you so patiently explained how to do the movements 🙏❤️
Good info to incorporate - I walk about a couple of miles most mornings, I find it really makes me ready for the day. I’ll try your exercises you showed us today. Thanks. EAH
It will be so nice if you have your videos in Spanish. I really love them .
I million, congratulations Will, that is a heck of an achievement. You deserve your UA-cam success.
Thanks for these. Going to try them tomorrow. Will let you know how l get on.
Great to hear you'll be putting them to good use!
Thanks alot. I walk alot on sunday. Im gonna do this prepping soon 😊
Great to hear you'll be putting this to good use!
i love your tips and exercises! That third exercise shown in this video is a problem: my left knee immediately starts screaming when I go into that slight bend. Now I realized that it is not the actual knee that argues, but the tendon/muscle just below the knee that is not strong enough to support the knee! How do I strengthen this area, please? I know that my hip flexors are tight, due to my job as a professional calligrapher. where I have to sit and write for long stretches. I do take a break and stretch some every half an hour, but this time of year my schedule is hectic and I often have to write for a total of 7 hours per day, to meet clients' deadlines. I depend on the income from my job for my rent and food..... I love walking, but my back starts wilting like a tulip and then starts aching when I do! Also standing even for just a minute causes backache....my back has been checked, it is good. I suspect that relocating twice in 6 years, and all the bending and packing, has tightened the hip flexors and the inevitable fallout. But I am also certain that you will have a solution for me - you always do!
Thank you for all you do. Am so pleased I found your channel. Your calf raise exercise has made a huge difference to my walking - it feels effortless now! Ordered your book and subscribe to free three tip Friday email. Lots of useful information. Well done on 1m subscribers, so deserved.
Great stuff as always. I have both your books and they are full of great advice and routines. Love watching your videos. Would be nice to see you wearing contrasting colours to see the movement of glutes/back etc even more clearly.
Keep up the good work.
These exercises are exactly what I need Thank you.
Congratulations! One million! - well deserved. Thank you for your assistance. 😊
First off. Like to say I love your videos and information. Thankyou ! I’m 49 with severe knee osteoarthritis I do ok. I get flare ups at times but otherwise I think keeping active helps Issue is I’m on my feet all day in my retail job At the end of day as soon as I sit, I struggle to get back up and my legs feel super stiff Will these exercises help me ? If I do them before work. I hope so. Will start tomorrow. !
Definitely hit the mark. Love you videos have my partner DOING THE BOTTLES preventing falls

Excellent information and great narrative. Keep doing this good work
Thanks for this great tutorial on priming before our walk. The movements are helpful.
Congratulations on your 1 million mark subscribers. ❤👍
Your exercises are always so useful. I have benefited a lot from watching this channel.
Thank you very much for this informative video. I find your methods practical and easy.
Very happy to help, I'm so pleased to hear you've found my advice helpful!
I love it, im 73yo. 😊From Philippines.
Sending best wishes to you in the Philippines!
I had a knee replacement 6 months ago and noticed that recently I have had moments when I am catching myself from falling and my lower back has been hurting. It seems like this is made for me! My gluteus maximus is very strong as I am a serous cyclist (former racer) but I think the smaller gluteus muscles are weak? Which brings me to a request and that is I would love to see priming for cycling. Thank you and Amazon is going to get an order for your book.
Very good. Thanks and GOD bless you.
Not as easy as one thinks . Thankyou very much very helpfull.
Congratulations on your channel .
