      You're the best PT I've met. I have taken PT for a number of years. Do you work in a clinic or private practice. Are you a Dr. of PT or not? Where did you go to school? I will share my contact info if you will give me a P.O . Box to send a letter to or another way to contact you. I can do a little self pay after the 1st. Otherwise I must do my private insurance.

    Probally 40 years to late but I was into martial arts when I was young. It gave me great core and balance and wish all young folk would partake. In my 30's, I used to stand one legged with my other leg lifted and my foot rested on my knee while doing dishes. Kinda like a one legged bird. I now realize all this (hopefully) will benefit me in my senior years. 64 years old here. Daily 1 hour walks should also help. STAY ACTIVE PEOPLE!

    Hi and thank you. I was always active and could walk a good distance however, I have been having trouble with pain in my legs which stops me in my tracks so really hoping that all this helps as now 71 and mobility is terrible so gardening etc is difficult and my mental wellbeing is suffering too but I will keep these exercises up and will tune in for more, cheers

    I'm 66 and have been working out since age 12. Changed things up thruout the various decades but was fortunate to adult into a fortune 100 corp job that had full fitness centers in every building. At some point in my early 30's the head trainer for every fitness center got stationed in the bldg I worked in. One day I randomly mentioned that I'm a super early morning person and like to work out at 4am with curlers in my hair and workout is done for the day. She guided me on what to buy for a full fitness center at home and to this day I'm so thankful! I'm an all or nothing mental person that skipping even a single workout day becomes a week/month/until end of the year/etc without working out. Nowadays when I'm just not feeling it I'll just do a few leisurely stretches & low weights, then play my favorite music and do a short low incline walk on treadmill, pedal a program on stationary bike or use the elliptical. Point is make myself stay engaged by doing something everyday. Doesn't have to be always be full on marathon sweat inducing type of workouts. 🤗

I start out with stretching for 10 minutes, then 100 push-ups, and 100 sit ups. Then aerobics (jog) for 20 minutes to get the heart rate at least 120 bpm. Then arms and legs, different every day. I retired from medicine (Internist) and then became a Certified Personal Trainer. Good diet and excercise keeps you healthy and live long!!!

    At 61, I had started to let myself go and fell over a tiny lip on a paver whilst walking. Post embarrassment, whilst nursing a sore rib cage I realised I needed to get off the couch and do something about it! That was a month ago and in just 4 weeks I'm a different person. I follow you and a number of other great physios who givus on older people on UA-cam. Doing a combo of exercises throughout the week and walking 6 to 7km 4 to 5 times per week, I feel fitter and stronger than I did 10 years ago. My previous knee issues have disappeared too as I've worked on my glutes 😊

    The sit-stand exercise is really very good especially for seniors. It builds up your calve muscles to enable you to climb stairs easily. This exercise may look easy but actually its quite hard. Always start slow and increase your reps when you have build up sufficient calve muscles.

    I mentioned this technique from my previous martial arts years-- but works GREAT to STRENGTHEN muscles a LOT quicker and SAFELY (no joint issues ever with this)... it's simply this- do the exercise position statically- and while in the position- FLEX!!! and hold. Doing this causes double stretch, and a LOT of strength gains QUICKLY and easily-- and SAFELY!!

    I appreciate you sir, thank you. My mid back is somewhat curved, not drastically, but more as l age. I am 68 and concerned that it will worse in time. With continuing your exercise regarding the mid back it straighten a little and is it better to wear a brace every so often? In other words, does the spine get a correction?

    • @BodyFixExercises
      @BodyFixExercises  11 місяців тому +1

      If you mid back is curved to the side it cannot be corrected, but if it's just too rounded and sticks out further to the back, this is something that can be corrected with exercises in most cases

      1 and 1/2 cm, either by bad posture or working with computers at my job. Thanks!
