      I’m 77 and have bursitis in both hips and arthritis in my lower back. I’ve had 4 cortisone shots in both hips over a two-year period. The shots no longer work. I go for physio twice a week and go to a chiropractor twice a week also. Nothing helps. I can’t stand or walk for longer than 5 minutes without severe pain and have to sit down. I’m not sleeping either. I’m awake every hour to two hours with the pain. And I’m getting really depressed. What are my options?

    I’m almost 89 and keep moving. I do leg exercises every morning before getting out of bed, walk every day, even practice walking backwards, helps with balance. My daughter bought me a Fitbit so I try to do 7,000 steps, have done as much as 13,000. Also try to stand straight and eat healthy. With the weather so hot I go to a big box store or mall and walk, like to walk fast. Still drive and do my own housework.

I run most days. Recently fell with my standard 80 lb poodle. Ran into his back legs sprinting across the traffic. Went down knocked the wind out of me. Bloodied me up but no permanent damage or broken bones. I think too many people take too many supplements and tout all meat, vegan and what not. Love your food and enjoy life.

    • @inveritategloria
      @inveritategloria 2 місяці тому +7

      Try and rephrase, because muscles are absolutely related to strength. The interpretation is more likely that those who no longer can build muscle or keep muscle mass, still can exercise to build strength. The older we get, the more difficult it is to keep strength. Slight exercise is what is needed for good maintenance.

I used to hunch forward and as a result my legs used to give in. I went to the extent of doing an MRI to investigate possible MS😮. I've now begun all your leg strengthening exercises in the last 2 weeks n have already noticed a difference in the way i walk. I'm subscribed from beautiful South Africa n have recommended your excellent channel to family n friends. Thank u so much for explaining each exercise in detail n with no nonsense, to the point demonstrations. Hope u are blessed to give us more valuable info on a regular basis.

I am 79 and like to keep busy baking, cleaning ,gardening etc, but when I tried doing my usual daily walk when spring came I felt really frightened as to how I had seized up! I used to walk quite smartly for about an hour but only managing twenty mins now. I feel you've given me an answer to my problem and a lifeline so I will start the exercises asap, thank you so much .

      Me neither. When I switched from all jogging and aerobics to weight machines at the gym at about 46 years of age, it was because the previous summer, those old exercises didn't help me tone an trim after winter laziness. Since I could see muscle building on my skinny frame, I equated it with strength. Now I'm 73 and for me was well as many others the COVID shutdown marked my bad attendance at the gym. Though I tried, ballet and yoga exercises at home, I was no longer disciplined and lost weight, strength, and muscle mass. I was sure the muscle loss was the only problem. This is SO encouraging! ❤

I will be 72 years old in 2 months time and have been fairly active in my younger days with tennis, cycling, golf, and gym work among other activities. Turning 60s was not much of a problem physically, but hitting the 70s, one really notices the loss of strength, stamina, and balance. Seniors really must spend some time for exercise to maintain their health and keep their balance to avoid falling accidents.

    May I complement my experience with what Will has given. I’m almost 60 and had a bad injury on one knee 10 years ago. It lingered on and was recurring frequently with water logging. My physio then advised the leg raise exercise mentioned in the video.
    Slowly I’ve developed my muscles to complement the knee. Today I can do elevated squats with dumbbells totalling 22 kg(always with knee support). I do some trekking and a lot of motorcycling in the mountains and dirt.
    Just keep at it guys.

    NOW IT IS EASIER and
    LESS PAINFUL. Also my balance is better.
    If you are THINKING of doing this GO FOR IT ! IT WORKS.
    small warning....when the muscles start waking up it HURTS.
    But it is GOOD PAIN. ..
    Like a Jane Fonda pain.......
    NO PAIN. NO GAIN.
    big thanks Doc.

I am 81 and have been trying to build up my strength and BALANCE. I cannot walk very far, and need a cane for balance as I’m afraid of falling. I cannot walk up and downstairs without a railing and my cane!
    I am going to work on these exercises faithfully and hope that my legs will get stronger.

I started doing the exercises and after doing them for just a few days I truly felt a better pep in my step, I thought it was gonna take longer for me to feel some strength in my legs! Thank you so much, You have inspired me and all of us with your exercises! Question: we have to do these exercises on both legs right? You usually say what you do on one side you must do on the other side, I didn’t hear you say that with this exercise 😮!
