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 👋 there I’m in my late 60s I have been working out at a karate school since October of23 don’t give up your love for martial arts find a school that recognizes disabled people 😊 you still have value
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. 🤗
This was very helpful. I’ve just started an exercise program with a long period of low activity. I was looking for something to do during my cooldown period. These gentle movements awesome. Thanks
Whoever is reading this, I pray for you: a heart free of sorrow, a mind free of worries, a life filled with joy, an abundant source of financial wealth, a body free of disease disability and a day filled with God's blessings
Brilliant video. Concise and explains why. Really helped my parents start a positive attitude to mobility exercise as was never something they did in their day.
Mobility and balance exercises are really important as we age, and the sooner we start the better, so good on you for encouraging your parents to be proactive 👍
Thank you so much. I was looking for how to get up from the floor not using my hands.. we were recently on holiday and i realized i couldn't do what i had taken for granted. I saw your video and felt it was more in keeping with what i needed and with time and your exercises it would help me get up frpm the floor too. I am 69 and my husband 74. I have always been very agile but time and tide wait for no man,
Thank you for this. I'm 59 and my right leg collapsed right under me about 8 weeks ago. I've been going to a chiropractor and physical therapist to build up my leg and glute muscles and I will add these additional exercises to my routine!
Thank you so0 much for "very" clear instructions. Easy to follow. I enjoyed the "why" and "how", caution ⚠️ , preventative etc. Before, during n after... Must recommend viewing of this video to my co-retirees 👍🙂 Once again, many thanx, much appreciated.
I'm 67 years young and can do everything that well-trained 20-year-old boys do. 3 times per week 3 series of 11 different exercises with weights and different on-ups on the pool. After that boxing on the heavy bag to relax muscles and stretching in the end.
I'm 64 years young also, and work out since age 13 in different sports and martial arts of all different types. Now, I work out at the gym at least 1 hour / day. 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!!!

You are doing a great job you make the exercises clear. Bravo you. Thank you. I am up in the middle of the night and feeling desperate because my left foot has been swollen for 2 or 3 days. I have neuropathy in feet and hand because I took chemo.
I find the single leg balance is best done standing in doorway with a hand on each side of the wall, you can do static and progress to small rotations with hand assist as needed !!
Hi sir, I really appreciate all of your videos because it really helps my grandma to stay active. Is it possible for me and my friend to make exercise video inspired by some of your moves? thank u so much :)
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 😊
Very useful. I am78 4:57 & I spend 30:00 min gym every day. I do sit-ups, bench-press, leg-press, arm curls. I take less Wt. & do more reps. Is that enough? Thanks.
Regular exercise is key to maintaining mobility and preventing common issues like pain, stiffness, and falls. By incorporating these simple movements into your daily routine, you can strengthen your muscles, improve balance, and enhance overall well-being. Stay active and prioritize your health for a better quality of life. Keep moving, and take control of your vitalit
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?
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
@BodyFixExercises Sorry, but l'm not sure l know what you mean when you say curved to the side. I mean that the curve is near the spine. Over the years, l have shrunk about 1 and 1/2 cm, either by bad posture or working with computers at my job. Thanks!
Love you videos. Would be nice to have same exercises, but repeated for the required length of time as as is, viewers need to keep stopping the video . Thanks
Could you possibly do a video on hand and wrist exercises/strengthening especially for carpal tunnel issues or rheumatoid arthritis? Thank you for all the video so far they have been a huge help to me and my friends, keep up the good work!
Yes, both retract the neck from an extended mid back position. This sitting one is a bit easier, but if you can do the Sphinx one, you'll get a bit more mid back mobilising 👍👍👍
❤❤❤❤❤ more vids about exercises in every people capability...its really helpful than watching those toxic vloggers out there... Some wont appreciate this on the spot..but im sure they will search it some other time when they experincing some body pain...😂😂❤❤❤

Exercise #3 is pretty much the same as the "head dip from Sphinx position" you gave us earlier, yes? That one became a part of my regular routine.
Yes, both retract the neck from an extended mid back position. This sitting one is a bit easier, but if you can do the Sphinx one, you'll get a bit more mid back mobilising 👍👍👍
Very good video it’s useful
