I am a senior and adding more single leg and balance exercises! Liked it.
Awesome, Julie! Keep up the good work! 💪🏻
why senior?it annoys me. do young people call themselves junior? why not' older adult'
This was such a helpful exercise!! The pacing of the video helped my grandmother so much!! Can’t wait to share more with her!
We're so happy to hear that! We have lots of new content coming! 🙂
Hi just came across your video. It looks like some exercises that I can try. I have back problems and need to strengthen my core without being on the floor. They look easy but I tried a couple and they are hard but not overwhelming. Thank you. 😁😁👍👍
You are so welcome! We’re happy to help on your health journey!
I am so glad to find your video! Thank you for the demostration.
You’re welcome! We have a whole series of balance exercises you can check out on our channel if you are interested in more! 😊
It’s rainy so I wanted to do something different inside. This was great and simple to follow. Thank you!
Awesome! You’re so welcome!
Thank you SO much for this video! I just found this channel and am now subscribed. I've been battling a bad case of sciatica. Never had it before. I've been to my chiropractor and an acupuncturist. Goingnon 3 weeks with this. I've got some improvements but still struggling.
Core strength has never been something I've focused on until this injury. I was able to do this video without pain and felt great afterwards. I shall continue. Thank you so much!!
Sorry to hear you're dealing with pain, but we're glad we could help! Keep up the good work!
These are what I need! At almost seventy, I can handle.
We’re so glad you like these workouts! 😊

This is awesome for strengthening and improving my balance after hip replacement surgery. Good demonstrations and it’s something I isn’t too challenging,yet still works. Thank you!
Hi Kim! You’re very welcome! We are so glad you’re enjoying this workout. We are always adding new balance classes to our UA-cam channel!
Enjoy these effective standing core exercises as opposed to being on the mat!
We’re glad you like them! There are so many ways you can get a great workout in that don’t involve lying on the mat!
Nice and simple.
Yes! Exercising doesn’t have to be complicated! 😊
I just need to say that I love this so much. Tried it tonight and feel so much better already! This will be a daily thing from now on!
That’s awesome, Karen! We’re glad you found us!

You’re welcome!

Awesome!!

Exhausted after only a few knee to elbow. Will try again later😢
It’s good to listen to you body and take these at your own pace! You will build up muscle endurance over time. 😊
@@janicebooy1007 That’s amazing! You’ve got this! 💪🏻
I’m not certain these exercises are too practical for seniors. I have pretty good balance but these seem for the most part not geared for seniors.
Hi Rosa! Thank you for the feedback! We gear our workouts for ages 50+ and make sure they can be modified for any level. Feel free to use a chair, wall, or another steady surface to make the movements more accessible! 🙂
@@mighty_health ok, thank you for the reply. I’m in my 70s, fit, and will try some of them. I like the standing aspect, finding it somewhat difficult for getting up from a floor exercise. Best to you!
@@rosaoddin4338 No problem! We want you to be able to do the exercises and enjoy them😃 We have several standing workouts on our page if you would like to try them!
was starting to do this until the crunches came up. my hips started popping.
Modify the workout to what feels best in your body!
Im 60 yrs old and this should help as one ages.
Absolutely! 😊
How do you use (squeeze) your core to actually benefit from core workouts? I’ve never really understood it
Proper core engagement involves tucking your pelvis under your spine slightly for a straight back, then as you take a deep breathe and exhale, draw your belly button to your spine. So think of it as instead of "flexing" and pushing the belly button outward, you are more so drawing the belly button in and pushing down.
I’m 72 y.o…will this work for me…
Thank you
Hi Lolita! Yes! Our workouts were created with ages 50+ in mind! Feel free to modify as needed to make it work for you.
❤😊
i m 71 years old suffering from scoliosis I just cannot follow the crunches exercises as if I dont have energy to do them
Like her simplicity. Not daunting
We’re glad you like it! Your health journey shouldn’t be daunting! 😊
Good content, but I think it’s unnecessary to do the exercises on both sides in the video. Just demonstrate the exercise on one side. We can all figure out that the exercises are symmetrical.
