Young people need to BELIEVE that when u get old and u did not take care of yourself you will be in extreme pain and have trouble doing everything,,, stay FIT
yes! I do squats when emptying the dishwasher or when heating something in microwave. Got spring in my step and it has made me much stronger - 83 years old and feeling good!
as a bodybuilder, the most important thing you can do if you don't feel like working out that day is to just do squats.. this is the best overall workout you can do for your body. good job guys.
Thank you for validating my efforts. I have been doing bridges every morning for the past several years. I've also found a way to multi-task while brushing my teeth. My electric toothbrush has a built in 2 minute timer so I do squats while brushing. I've been doing these for about 5 years. I'm 73. Keeps me strong.
That's great! I feel the same way: validated and encouraged in things I was doing instinctively. By the way, I read that Elizabeth Hurley does squats when she's cleaning her teeth also! She told an interviewer that that's the only workout she does, to keep up that great figure! Then she just keeps active, plays with her dog.
Yoga teacher here! I am really appreciating Bob and Brad. Bridge pose and chair pose!😊 And the importance of being able to safely stand up from being seated in a chair. These are things younger folks might take for granted, but those of us 65+ might realize that practice is essential to keep these skills.
I started doing squats a year ago along with other walking exercises. I can now step up on a chair to reach that top cupboard with no struggle. Being strong is a joy.
Be careful stepping into a chair!! Great to hear that squats can help so much, though. I'll have to start doing more; it seems like my body is always crying out for squats, so it's nice to hear the physical therapists saying it's a good idea!
invest in a good stepping stool or small step ladder! Fantastic that you can do it but a chair can slip out from under you and cause a fall. Would be a shame to break a hip after mastering the ability to squat and step. I learned the hard way. Fortunately, nothing broke as I caught my balance and landed on my feet but it could’ve been disastrous.
I’m 55 and physically pretty fit. This past year I started doing squats, and WOW what a difference they make! I’m up to 40 twice a week, which doesn’t sound like a lot, but everything is easier now-walking, housework, hauling groceries and laundry up and down stairs. I also swim and have noticed my kick is stronger. I see people my own age struggling with basic activities, and I hate to think what life will be like for them in 10 or 20 years.
Only 40?? That’s great! I’m turning same and can only do ten due to chronic back issues from failed surgeries but I’m persistent and keep trying. My husb is 70 and way better shape then me. He’s like B&B and worked at it. Keep it up your future you will say thx. ✌️
I have been doing at least 20 squats every other day with a 50lb weight for three and a half years. It is part of my training program and I don’t see myself easing up soon. I’m 67 and believe in weight training and mobility as being vital for seniors, more so than cardio. I just finished loading 4 tons of gravel on a wheelbarrow and spreading it in my back yard over 10 hours. I have no pain or aches at all!
I just do drops and then land on the balls of my feet or slightly above and squat down, and then maybe also a quadrupedal movement (putting your hands down after the landing) or a basic forwards shoulder roll, and I’ve done/practiced it enough to the point that I was able to progress to my PB of 10’5” over time, plus growing also helped. You should also do that, but just practice lower down first (maybe a foot or 2) and then go up slightly higher if what you currently do is free and you’re ready for it. As for the roll, just search up tutorials on that and learn it properly on grass on flat ground and make sure to roll over the right parts so that nothing hurts, and then do it slowly on harder surfaces soon after that so that you can really feel where it hurts and make sure to avoid that.

Squat with 50lbs at 67 is very impressive. Not a fan of squat, but I do do them 6 days/week with either 20lbs weight or just my body weight. I also stretch 6 d/w.
I just saw this channel and I subscribed. I'm nearly 70, have been mostly sedentary and have been paying for all that youthful laziness. Vigorous exercise has never worked for me, but the ones you showed, I can do. I love the lighthearted approach.
I was in the same boat, but worse, I started in a wheelchair at 58 due to bad diet. The Whole Food Plant-Based diet healed me. That was 10+ years ago. I am 69 now and walk 4 miles a day. I do Asian squats and do various yoga stretches and most of these can be done even in bed. My cholesterol is normal now and I am no longer obese. I’ve lost 50 lbs. and though my BMi is normal, I want to be more fit and am striving to get down to the perfect BMi. I had to take care of my ailing parents who knew nothing about any exercise or diets, they both had high cholesterol, diabetes type II and high blood pressure. My father died of Alzheimer’s disease, my mother as well as my older sister, died of breast cancer. One of the best defense agains Alzheimer’s is walking. I did not start out walking for an hour, but worked up to it, adding 5 minutes to my walk once a week. These walks work wonders on depression. Just getting outside and smelling the fresh clean morning air and seeing flowers and plants makes me feel more alive as well as full of energy which then lasts the whole day through. I’ve found it has an effect on my appetite, not starving all the time. Much different than when I was younger and did aerobics. That increased my appetite. Try to add walking in, you’ll find it is wonderful.
I really like that, "We're talking about people like us." Thanks to you guys for your helpful advice and videos, as well as your good humour. All the best.
I'm 70 and do at least 60 squats a day, not holding on to anything. I'm very flexible and also do rebounding. But I've been exercising since my 30's, so that makes a difference. But it's never too late and it's one of the most IMPORTANT exercises to remain strong.
Thanks for this. I’m in my mid sixties and have been having trouble getting up off the floor lately! It’s very embarrassing. I’m too young for this problem. I’m going to start these exercises today!
Bob and Brad, you definitely are the 2 most famous Physical Therapists anywhere, not just the internet! We wish you were near us so you could help us even more than you do on your videos? God Bless you both always!
Great idea using the stick. Sometimes you think you are doing something right, but the stick will keep you correct. Going to the shed now to get one. Cheers from Australia😃🇦🇺
So glad I found Bob and Brad. Had hip replacement 2 years ago and have issues ever since. Never have gone back to my full workouts and now it is harder than ever @ 60. Love that you shows the progression, because all I remember is the level that I was at before hip replacement...which is impossible and some things I should never do again.
I was very active for the majority of my life, I was heavy into lifting weights, going to the gym etc., I gave that all up in my late 40's. Now in my 60's, I find the squat the best exercise for keeping my legs and back strong. As a chef, I am required to lift up to 40lbs. Squats are amazing for this as well. I use my kitchen sink, placing my hands on each side, and squat for a perfect 90-degree angle. I do not use the sink to lift, I use my legs but it's just nice to know I have a grip, good form and support should I need it. I do that same 'in bed' (butt lift) exercise each morning and it also helps the tummy muscles! I also do leg lifts and spins for my hip flexors and a good fetal position hold to stretch my back, all before I get out of bed! I really love you guys!!
I’m 28 years old and recovering from a lifetime of scoliosis. My chiropractor has helped me tremendously, and my scoliosis is nearly gone (I wasn’t born with it - as a heads up!) Watching this to learn ways to encourage healthy aging! Thank you so much! Your channel is incredible!
First time I heard the realistic advice IF YOU CAN'T DO EVEN THAT, DO LESS. Good advice. Not just some women's purses but some men's EDC (Every Day Carry) too I'm sure. AP
Thank you, Bob and Brad. Please keep doing these inspiring videos for many more years. From my mid 60s vantage point your light-hearted approach to dealing with inevitable age-related decline is much appreciated. Your exercise and stretching tips are helpful, and your friendly and good-humoured delivery always provide a positive psychological boost. Upon first retiring I started exercising aggressively, thinking that intense effort was the only way to limit the reduction of fitness due to age. Ironically, excessive exercising did more harm than good, causing lower back issues to occur. Your videos are teaching me the value of going slow and steady to maintain strength and mobility for the long haul.
These gents remind me of the Mr Rodgers of Physical Therapy. Not for the sweaters or what Fred Rodgers did. what i mean - easy to follow, easy to understand and hard to forget. Entertaining, Informative and man does it add to quality of life.
Thank You for being there to help people from 50 years old and above to help themselves and increases their confidence, that " still" they can do it...and more power to both of you and May THE GOOD LORD BLESS US ALL!!!
I've been doing Classical Stretch w/ Miranda Esmonde White & that's helped me keep stronger at 68 than I would have otherwise. The ones y'all demonstrate on this video are very good .... I felt better after doing them watching your demo. These will be some great additions to what I already do... thanks!!
One of the BEST channels on youtube. You guys can stop saying 'famous' with quotes or 'in our opinion'. You are the most famous physical therapists on youtube! Close to 300 MILLION views!!
I had a TIA 1.5 yrs ago and I went to rehab for 3 months. The most beneficial exercise was the squats from the chair. It strengthened my thighs, and butt and retrained my brain to stand from sitting! Nice episode!
A big shout out thank you! Between my chiropractor wellness doctor and you two, I have been able to walk and keep up with my family and grandchildren, especially at theme parks. I appreciate all your PT videos, and the much needed detail that you provide. Thank you thank you thank you.💕
I second that emotion. Bob & Brad are Really Great for older people (over 50, say - or even 40.) Some of these younger exercise leaders have no idea what it's like to be past your mid-20's. There are a couple of others I also like - well, one - but these guys are GREAT! I'll have to thank them, or buy a product, or something. I'm thinking of buying a product. Thanks, Bob & Brad, I adore you guys! So engaging, too. I love that it has some spontaneity.
I’ve been doing 35 squats when I brush my teeth twice a day for years. I rest the hand that’s not holding the toothbrush on the edge of the vanity in case my balance goes or I go down too far and need assistance getting back to start. It takes 2 minutes to brush and I can get 35 squats in that time. That’s 70 squats every day and the time brushing my teeth is productive!
I’ve just started a new class recently called CORE & MORE & we do similar muscle building moves like you’ve demonstrated. I really liked how u showed an simple way to easily incorporate doing SQUATS throughout the day by simply repeating sitting & standing up from a chair or the couch. Also Liked yr idea of using the extra weights. Thanks for the tips!!
I missed that video. Can u suggest exercises that help me get up like a squat but cant because of my knees. I saw the one where you are laying on your back and lifting up and squeezing your butt. Is that what your referring to? My knees are not good enough to do a real squat anymore.
Many years ago a 93 year old farmer told me that squats were the key to quality of life. Especially getting up and down to the porcelain throne unassisted.
Thanks for sharing; reminding me of exercises I have forgotten. Have lost all the fitness, core strength and stamina I worked so hard on earlier last year, since Covid struck and locked down our gyms as well as most everything else. We are back in lockdown again (SE Australia) and I so need to get some exercise in. Had 3 back operations so need to exercise more than most.
I love 💞 you guys! I exercised with Jack Lalanne in the late '60s, early '70s. I'll be 72 within a month. Being able to do single leg squats helped me tremendously a few weeks ago when I had a few days of sciatic pain. My 52 year old son was shocked a year ago when I could do single leg squats. 😂 He was also shocked a few years ago when I was able to balance on one leg for 45 seconds with my eyes closed. I've lost some seconds on that so I'm working back up to it. 😉
that's great !! I always say if you don't use it you'll lose it; that's why I try to maintain a healthy exercise plan- so that when I get older I'll still have it 😂🤞🏻
@@BobandBrad Aww... I feel honored. I never expected any reply! You two keep me inspired... Some days it's easier than others. I tell everyone to subscribe to you! Even my DPT & PTA friends & acquaintances who know formally I only have a HS education & one college course. 😊
Much to my shock, when I started doing squats a year ago I eventually found that I love them. I do them throughout the day, especially when my lower back starts feeling tight. A squat or 3 or 4 brings instant relief.
As we get older we live a more stationary life style... Sitting all day. We need exercises that helps with movement and balance. Thanks for these great videos.
I am starting my "squats" with my kitchen chair and a pad, and on a door. We'll see what works. Having trouble with my knees, and trouble standing up from a sitting position. Hope this helps. Also will start the hip raises tonight/tomorrow morning in the bed. Thank you for so much help.
It is so, so important to start exercising sooner than later! Take care of yourself now. Thank you Bob and Brad for your informative videos. I'm 48 and I realize that I have to keep doing the hard work so I can stay young into my 50's and beyond!
In The last pumping stretch that Brad demonstrated , we can place the toes of the front foot against the wall (like we keep on car accelerator) and you can stretch the plantar fascia and calf muscles of front foot too.
Bob and Brad are the BEST. Interesting, easy to understand, don't ask "too much" of you. Do their exercises and routines. You'll feel a whole lot better. And you'll look better.
I subscribed. Obviously these guys are well grounded in Hollywood’s best disciplines. The production values, the stunning set, the well rehearsed and dynamic demonstrations plus the riveting verbal teaching and guidance is top shelf. The fact that Bob and Brad are easy on the eye doesn’t hurt. This channel is fire. D. Heitman
Watching and listening to you two helps many people, physically but you also help mentally to feel better, more relaxed. So, you do fix broken hearts. You help those with a broken heart to feel better. So watch and listen to Bob and Brad, then listen to Sgt. Peppers lonely hearts club band.
66 yrs young, both knees,both hips, wife gave me Classic Body Blade 5 years ago,upgraded to Pro BB,Xmas, have transformed my body, doing 40 plus squats,balance,walking with rollator, . Hope your pard is feeling better. Even thinking is getting better.
I'm glad your video showed up in my feed, it's perfect timing! Thank you for your guidance. I can begin this at home. I was fortunate to have a excellent trainer, and lifted weights until developing Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome. I refuse to give up or give in, and your advice is of great help to me to begin slowly begin some sort of exercise that feels right for me. Your advice is helping my motivation to begin taking the necessary steps to improve my health. Thank you
Sorry for the mistakes in my post, this crazy making disease also affected my brain. Scientists still have no answers for Chronic Fatigue Immune System Dysfunction (CFIDS,) but are learning people with long term effects from Covid-19 (Long Covid) have the same or similar symptoms as CFIDS. Hopefully this will help people like me. I've focused on super nutrition and exercise my whole life, but it did not spare me from CFIDS. Exercise is important for a strong immune system, and your video is definitely helping my motivation to keep going to keep improving. 💪
You guys are simply the best, I look at your videos every day and I’ve learned so much and implemented in my daily exercise routine, especially now with some pretty bad right hip issues. Very good videos, please keep up the wonderful work, your videos are also good for people who cannot afford physical therapy, I have several friends that are in that position and they say that they watch your videos and do just as well as if they went to a PT person. Thank you guys!
Thank you Bob & Brad. I am 70 and have always worked out but these days I am more concerned with what I need to to work on as I age. I have been looking for this instruction.
Thank you for your videos , and excellent advice, I have been watching and doing your excercises for the last 2 years, after a fall down 17 stairs a few years ago, in which I broke 8 ribs, dislocated shoulder, clavical, and a spinal injury :) oh and I found out later chipped a tooth :) your excecises have helped in every way thank you both
After watching this a few weeks ago, I started doing 35 squats while my K cup is brewing and then another 35 during the brewing of my second cup and another 35 while brushing my teeth before bed. Thank you!!!
I can't help but to giggle and smile with you both! This is the first time I'm watching your channel and now I'm subscribing. I hope to do your suggested stretching, strengthen and being overall more flexible in my SENIOR YEARS! 😁
a long time ago my dr had me rehab with you guys after I got out of a boot for my Achilles tendon. She asked me did I want to rehab with a trainer at gym a PT or you guys. lol I chose well. Just had my husband watch all the things as I did the exercises.
Interesting to note that exercise mitigates against dementia (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's etc.) _but_ what's extra interesting that dementia researchers in trying to determine what exercises in particular are best for dementia mitigation have settled on keeping your legs strong. So yes, squats and other exercises such as brisk walking (for 45 mins daily).
Can you send that note that you just wrote to me on an email to Kathymachealth@gmail.com please. I have a friend I would like to tell about it. For some reason I guess you can't copy replies on UA-cam. Thank you
@@kathymaclaren2711 hope you received it. One another way of going about it would be to take a screenshot and use google lens to scan the content, and you are done 😊
I wouldn't be surprised if the explanation (why exercising legs mitigates better the risk of dementia/Alzheimer's) lies simply in the fact that its immobilized seniors who are even more vulnerable than just seniors (able to walk).
I need all those exercises. My PT at Mayo Clinic is working me on many of them already with me. I had a stroke when I had a heart transplant 19 years ago, and have been enjoying your UA-cam videos.
Pumps are just about twice the height of a typical heel on a man's dress leather shoe. High heels are generally at least 1 1/2 inches tall - much taller than a pump - some are extreme 3 or 4 inches! You'll be seeing women who wear/wore those heels in days to come, betcha! I was a fan of a standard high heeled shoe for work. The shortened calves started showing up by my mid 40's. Love your work!! I wish you'd do a full routine for seniors. Thanks so much! ♥ ♥ ♥
Bob & Brad, Probably the most important thing I've read on your site is a comment by Sue Thomas, "Being strong is a joy." Thank you Sue for my new mantra and thank you Bob and Brad for showing me the way back...
I use a Kathy Smith tape that includes squats, plies, and lunges--among other things. I love it! Also found that these exercises help my knee pain because they strengthen the muscles that support the knees. Thanks, Bob and Brad!
That calf stretch can also help with plantar fasciitis. My phys. therapist had me do it while curling/clenching my toes a bit, when stretching to keep from overstretching the bottom of my foot. It helped a lot! Sometimes I start having the problem again, but I know what to do. :-) Squats are the best. I am 81 and I do them throughout the day.
I lay on my bed rotate hips hold ten it's painful ..5 each side legs together then seperate. Well guys this has been fun really has thank u I needed a smile..and yes I can get up and down from the throne still.sitting in chair eat meals the killer ,hunchback of Notre Dame when I rise then hobble to sink..if I arch backwards better..
I had two lower back fusions and Couldn’t even tie my shoes so with the help of a resistance band and a hook above my head I started doing squats and it made an unbelievable difference in tying my shoes wish I had tried it sooner.
Be patient with yourself, but don’t give up. I started with wobbly bridges and can mostly do sit to stands now. I do 30 a day. My knees do bark at me so I put an exercise band just above my knees to remind me not to let my knees cave in.
......Greet......Greetings....... ...***Greetings, Beloved of God. This message is lengthy but, it is very important. The ancient Israelite was tested by the Sabbath commandment to see if they would keep God’s law or no in Exodus 16:4- Do not be surprised if God allow man to do a similar test, enforce some type of Sabbath law to see if we will keep His law or no. ************************************************ Right now, we all do not see eye to eye, but, please hear me out.............. There is no way anyone can prove from the KJV Bible that Saturday, Sunday, etc. is the biblical seventh day Sabbaths. For, the words Saturday, Sunday, etc. do not appear in the Bible. A continuous Saturday, Sunday, etc., “man made Sabbaths” ARE NOT the true Bible Sabbaths because they are not calculated by true time. God’s true time is written in Genesis 1:14. When God commanded us to keep a seventh day Sabbath, kill the Passover on the 14th day of the first month, keep the day of atonement on the 10th day of the seventh month, etc......would He not have given us a calendar/Time to find these dates? Yes, He would have and He did, in Genesis 1:14. We are commanded to keep the days, years, etc. by the lights in heaven (the sun, moon and stars.) God did not specify which days, so, we must conclude that He meant for all of His 3 category of days to be kept by the lights in heaven. *********** The Sabbath command is one of the Ten Commandments listed in Exodus 20. It is just as important as the other nine and God commands us to keep it. Multitudes of people think and teach that we are only required to keep 9 of God’s Ten Commandments. My Friend, if we think this way, we are already deceived. ***************************************************************************************************************** ***The Sabbath is a feast. Leviticus 23:1-3 ***The moon is for seasons. Psalms 104:19 ***The lights in heaven are for seasons, etc. Genesis 1:14 ***The words “feast” and “season” comes from the same Hebrew word, MOED. ***MOED is, appointed times, appointments, feast, season, etc. The Sabbath is a MOED, an appointed time , a feast, a season, etc. Therefore, the moon, along with the other lights in heaven, are for Sabbaths. THE SABBATH IS TO BE CALCULATED BY THE TIME GOD ORDAINED IN THE BEGINNING OF CREATION NOT BY MAN’S TIME/CALENDARS. Who can prove from Genesis 1:14 that the Sabbath day is not calculated by the lights in heaven? Although many have tried, it cannot be refuted!! Take a glimpse at the dates in Genesis 7:11 and Genesis 8:4,13,14. Are these dates calculated by the Time God commanded in Genesis 1:14 or by the Gregorian time or some other man made time? ********** There are about 167 countries that keep Sunday as the seventh day and the remaining, approximately, 64 countries keep Saturday as the seventh day. If there is a “seventh day Sunday law” enforced and the remaining 64 countries change their calendars to read Sunday as the seventh day, then, the world will be keeping Sunday the seventh day as the Sabbath. Mon. Tue. Wed. Thur. Fri. Sat. Sunday Law 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7 What day will you and I then keep as the Sabbath? Already today, there are “Sunday Blue Laws” on government books. Man can change “their” time anytime and deceive the world under the leadership of Satan. We must calculate God’s Sabbath by God’s Time so The Great Deceiver can not trick us about the true Sabbath and “cause” us to worship him. “ He will think to change time and laws.” says Daniel 7:25 He only “THOUGHT” to change time when He “supposedly” had replaced God’s calendar with his calendar on earth. For he could not and has not truly change time because God’s Time sits in the heavens where no man can tamper with it! The sun, moon and stars, the lights in heaven, are God’s Time/Calendar. *********** God’s Calendar has three category of days, the new moon day, the six work days and the Sabbath day. 2 Kings 4:18-23 & Ezekiel 46:1-3. The new moon day is the first day of the month, the beginning of months. These days never, ever, ever overlaps each other on God’s Time! ........However, this is not true on the famous Gregorian calendar. The new moon day falls anywhere and everywhere on that calendar, in a given month. For example, sometimes, the new moon day falls on a “man made Saturday Sabbath”, on a “man made Sunday Sabbath”, in the midst of the month, etc. How can it both be the first day of the month and the seventh day Sabbath? How can the first day of the month start in the midst of a month? God said in Genesis 1:14 to, let the lights in heaven be for days, etc. So, which one or ones of God’s three category of days are kept by the lights in heaven? ...The new moon day? ...The six work days? ...The Sabbath day? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Example of God’s months: 1st week... new moon day, six work days and Sabbath day 2nd, 3rd, 4th weeks....six work days and Sabbath day The next month the cycle starts over. God’s months reset. Read Luke 6:1 Man uses this same concept. For example: The 1st and 3rd Sunday in August, the 1st and 3rd Sunday in September.” “The 2nd and 4th Sabbath in April, the 2nd and 4th Sabbath in May.” Note: There is never, never, ever, ever, 5 weekly Sabbaths in any one of God’s months. This is not true on the Gregorian calendar. Sometimes, there are 5 weekly “Gregorian Sabbaths.” This is not in align with true time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I believe there is a great deception coming to get people to worship Satan through a false Calendar/Sabbath controversy. God is a God of truth. God guides people by His truth. God’s Word is truth. Truth is our shield and buckler. Truth will keep us from all deceptions, the mark of beast, etc. Christ did not suffer on the cross for us to walk in a lie and continue to cling to our traditions! He did not die for us to obey the “voice of man” above “the voice of God!” Read the stories about “King Saul” in 1 Samuel 15 and the “man of God” in 1 king 13. Let us learn a lesson from these testimonies....Obey God’s Voice! When we do and teach man’s commandments for doctrine, it is vain! It is useless! God does not honor it! There will be no reward! Again! there is a great possibility some type of “Man made Sabbath Law” could be enforced. These latter days crises seems to be pointing in that direction. If this is not true, then, we do not have to worry about it......But..... ....If it is truth then, we need to become more knowledgeable about this subject in order to make the right decision whom we will honor and serve.
A Sabbath test will reveal those who believe Gods Word and those who do not. Whether there is or whether there is not a “Sabbath Test”, we still need to know the truth about God’s Time written in the Word of God so we can be obedient in all things. ***Worship Him that made heaven, earth and sea. ***Babylon is fallen! Babylon is fallen! ***Do not worship the Beast and receive his mark, whosoever does, will be eternal lost and be burnt with fire and brimstone. ****Read Revelation 13 & 14 This truth about God’s Calendar/Time and The Sabbath written in Genesis 1:14, Leviticus 23:1-3, Psalms 104:19, etc.is spreading throughout the four corners of the earth. This message enrages many who claim to be followers of Christ because they can not refute it. It seems, the people outside the church buildings are the ones eagerly accepting it and believing it. Please let us consider what is being said here and further research this important subject before it is to late. Peace and Love Friends of God
Squats , I totally agree. Have advanced ankloosing spondylitis, I have limited movement. Doing squats holding onto a chair, counter, sink allows me to get deep into a squat . Results are that I am able to do some things that I had not been able to accomplish b4. Results in a week! Just saying.
Thank you Bob and Brad! I like your sense of humor, and that you start with those of us who need to take it easy and then hopefully progress on up to doing more exercises.
Guys, love your material and the lighthearted manner withwhich you deliver it. That said....I think everyone would benefit from a slightly slower flow of speech. What with your accent and all, as a brain injured 59 yo I have a challenge understanding, especially Bob more often than not. Keep up the great work!Thanks
Very good stretches. Bet they'd feel great. I'll start trying these soon, out on the patio. Will need to watch again & take notes next time. I've been dealing with swollen ankles, then feet & then the knees & then the entire foot & lower leg. Things are improving now so I think these would help quite a bit!
I would recommend you look into the Chinese exercise Ba-Duan-Jin or the "8 brocades". It is highly suitable for seniors and stretches almost every parts of the body and takes only 12 minutes to complete a cycle. Squating is an essential part of it also. My wife and I do this everyday and find it very easy and beneficial.
Thank you I do feel your the only guys who understand older people or older people recovering from injury . Funny and not condescending which is great.
This video inspired the following lines...”Let me age with Love and Grace, See these wrinkles in my face, As truth and wisdom for today, Heart and Soul remain my Faith” ♥️
My mom had both hips replaced and (unfortunately) purchased a lift chair. Those things should be outlawed. Over the years she has continually used her lift chair and now her glutes are atrophied. She cannot get up out of most chairs without someone helping to pull her up, or sit down without falling the last 6 inches into the chair. I agree that this is the most important muscle group to keep in shape!
HA!! Just found you two. I love your Intro Song hahahaha I'm an LMT (30+ yrs!) and now I want one for myself! ha ha ha You made my day. I digress, your content is a great help.THANK YOU. I'm glad you two have each other to keep each other going! I 'm turning 60 and I incorporate exercises whenever I am waiting. If standing in a conversation with neighbors, I'm secretly isolating abs firing. At the stove, squats, while brushing teeth I do a wall squat..etc. Highly recommend stacking habits like that. Your tips are fantastic. Thanks. I'm your new fan 🙂
Been doing squats for the last 2 yrs and my knees thank me. I go upstairs without feeling my knee caps with each step. All age groups should be doing the squats.
Sure is a lot to remember. Is it ok to just hike. Like where I live, I am able to go up 600-800 ft in elevation and 2 miles back to the top? Thanks for helping me with my sciatica through your video a couple years ago. It does wonders!!!

Young people need to BELIEVE that when u get old and u did not take care of yourself you will be in extreme pain and have trouble doing everything,,, stay FIT
It's sad that their body looks, and feels old, at a young age.
SAY THAT LOUDER!!
Right?!
Yes, we 4eally need to stress that to those young people we care about, I worked a desk for years and now I'm paying for it l.
Linda Nettnin you can over come that with determination. Persistence pays.
yes! I do squats when emptying the dishwasher or when heating something in microwave. Got spring in my step and it has made me much stronger - 83 years old and feeling good!
Oh Judith, good job!
@@jamjar5716nkkkkkńñj
@Sacred SpaRkleZ Great idea, I must incorporate squats into my everyday routine... stay strong Judith...
You are an inspiration! Hoping these youngsters follow your lead! I hope I’m doing squats at 80, 70 now and still exercising. 😊
You go girl
Very helpful for me. My mother turned 95 years old this week and continues to do exercises daily .
Praise God! That's a great testimony! Thank you! I am 68, been exercising all my life.🥰👍
please post videos .. 👍
warum ist das nicht auf deutsch
I'm only 71, but these exercises cover what U want.
as a bodybuilder, the most important thing you can do if you don't feel like working out that day is to just do squats.. this is the best overall workout you can do for your body. good job guys.
I'm in my mid-60s and I do squats when I don't get my 30 minutes in. Good to know they are worth it!
Thank you for validating my efforts. I have been doing bridges every morning for the past several years. I've also found a way to multi-task while brushing my teeth. My electric toothbrush has a built in 2 minute timer so I do squats while brushing. I've been doing these for about 5 years. I'm 73. Keeps me strong.
Thanks much good idea:)
Good idea Bonnie. I’m going to start doing that😁🇦🇺
Brava!
Excellent, I'm approaching 70 and I do leg exercises whilst brushing my teeth too!
That's great! I feel the same way: validated and encouraged in things I was doing instinctively. By the way, I read that Elizabeth Hurley does squats when she's cleaning her teeth also! She told an interviewer that that's the only workout she does, to keep up that great figure! Then she just keeps active, plays with her dog.
Yoga teacher here! I am really appreciating Bob and Brad. Bridge pose and chair pose!😊 And the importance of being able to safely stand up from being seated in a chair. These are things younger folks might take for granted, but those of us 65+ might realize that practice is essential to keep these skills.
I started doing squats a year ago along with other walking exercises. I can now step up on a chair to reach that top cupboard with no struggle. Being strong is a joy.
Be careful stepping into a chair!! Great to hear that squats can help so much, though. I'll have to start doing more; it seems like my body is always crying out for squats, so it's nice to hear the physical therapists saying it's a good idea!
invest in a good stepping stool or small step ladder! Fantastic that you can do it but a chair can slip out from under you and cause a fall. Would be a shame to break a hip after mastering the ability to squat and step. I learned the hard way. Fortunately, nothing broke as I caught my balance and landed on my feet but it could’ve been disastrous.
See you in hospital then !!!
Please don't use a chair for reaching high places..........it is an accident waiting to happen. I learned the hard way.
@@Carol-ch9wj Thank you for putting that kind warning out. I hope you are okay now.
I’m 82, my wife is 77- A very helpful video. Thank you.
I’m 55 and physically pretty fit. This past year I started doing squats, and WOW what a difference they make! I’m up to 40 twice a week, which doesn’t sound like a lot, but everything is easier now-walking, housework, hauling groceries and laundry up and down stairs. I also swim and have noticed my kick is stronger. I see people my own age struggling with basic activities, and I hate to think what life will be like for them in 10 or 20 years.
Only 40?? That’s great! I’m turning same and can only do ten due to chronic back issues from failed surgeries but I’m persistent and keep trying. My husb is 70 and way better shape then me. He’s like B&B and worked at it. Keep it up your future you will say thx. ✌️
I have been doing at least 20 squats every other day with a 50lb weight for three and a half years. It is part of my training program and I don’t see myself easing up soon. I’m 67 and believe in weight training and mobility as being vital for seniors, more so than cardio. I just finished loading 4 tons of gravel on a wheelbarrow and spreading it in my back yard over 10 hours. I have no pain or aches at all!
I just do drops and then land on the balls of my feet or slightly above and squat down, and then maybe also a quadrupedal movement (putting your hands down after the landing) or a basic forwards shoulder roll, and I’ve done/practiced it enough to the point that I was able to progress to my PB of 10’5” over time, plus growing also helped.
You should also do that, but just practice lower down first (maybe a foot or 2) and then go up slightly higher if what you currently do is free and you’re ready for it. As for the roll, just search up tutorials on that and learn it properly on grass on flat ground and make sure to roll over the right parts so that nothing hurts, and then do it slowly on harder surfaces soon after that so that you can really feel where it hurts and make sure to avoid that.

Squat with 50lbs at 67 is very impressive. Not a fan of squat, but I do do them 6 days/week with either 20lbs weight or just my body weight. I also stretch 6 d/w.
the generosity you two are sharing is immensely. thank you for being you.
These guys are so nice you can tell. I’m so glad they are healthy and safe 🙏🏻
And strong and free 👍🏼
I just saw this channel and I subscribed. I'm nearly 70, have been mostly sedentary and have been paying for all that youthful laziness. Vigorous exercise has never worked for me, but the ones you showed, I can do. I love the lighthearted approach.
I’m in the same boat, Karen. I’m trying these exercises slow but trying.
I was in the same boat, but worse, I started in a wheelchair at 58 due to bad diet. The Whole Food Plant-Based diet healed me. That was 10+ years ago. I am 69 now and walk 4 miles a day. I do Asian squats and do various yoga stretches and most of these can be done even in bed.
My cholesterol is normal now and I am no longer obese. I’ve lost 50 lbs. and though my BMi is normal, I want to be more fit and am striving to get down to the perfect BMi.
I had to take care of my ailing parents who knew nothing about any exercise or diets, they both had high cholesterol, diabetes type II and high blood pressure. My father died of Alzheimer’s disease, my mother as well as my older sister, died of breast cancer.
One of the best defense agains Alzheimer’s is walking. I did not start out walking for an hour, but worked up to it, adding 5 minutes to my walk once a week. These walks work wonders on depression. Just getting outside and smelling the fresh clean morning air and seeing flowers and plants makes me feel more alive as well as full of energy which then lasts the whole day through.
I’ve found it has an effect on my appetite, not starving all the time. Much different than when I was younger and did aerobics. That increased my appetite.
Try to add walking in, you’ll find it is wonderful.
I really like that, "We're talking about people like us." Thanks to you guys for your helpful advice and videos, as well as your good humour. All the best.
Older folks……hahahahah!
😢@@sequaumalone9290
I'm 70 and do at least 60 squats a day, not holding on to anything. I'm very flexible and also do rebounding. But I've been exercising since my 30's, so that makes a difference. But it's never too late and it's one of the most IMPORTANT exercises to remain strong.
66 yrs young, working like a son of a gun. Started body wt squats 6 mnths ago. 4 joint replacements. What a difference.
I’m 75 and doing 500 free squats 5-6 days every week. That’s in one set. No joint issues. Thank you, Lord!!
Bob is strait laced and Brad is like the comedian and the two of them obviously are good friends and collaborators / such nice team!
Altho still wish them to get on with …whatever..usually give up..altho a senior ..don’t have time to waste..🇨🇦
@metrin stoefta
Bit of a leap and assumption about a complete stranger.
Thanks for this. I’m in my mid sixties and have been having trouble getting up off the floor lately! It’s very embarrassing. I’m too young for this problem. I’m going to start these exercises today!
Fantastic! Thanks for the inspiration. I am 75, don't think I'm old, but have sit to stand issues. They just crept up.
Bob and Brad, you definitely are the 2 most famous Physical Therapists anywhere, not just the internet!
We wish you were near us so you could help us even more than you do on your videos?
God Bless you both always!
Great idea using the stick. Sometimes you think you are doing something right, but the stick will keep you correct. Going to the shed now to get one. Cheers from Australia😃🇦🇺
So glad I found Bob and Brad. Had hip replacement 2 years ago and have issues ever since. Never have gone back to my full workouts and now it is harder than ever @ 60. Love that you shows the progression, because all I remember is the level that I was at before hip replacement...which is impossible and some things I should never do again.
I'm 44 yrs old and I'm here for this! Totally down for this!!
I was very active for the majority of my life, I was heavy into lifting weights, going to the gym etc., I gave that all up in my late 40's. Now in my 60's, I find the squat the best exercise for keeping my legs and back strong.
As a chef, I am required to lift up to 40lbs. Squats are amazing for this as well. I use my kitchen sink, placing my hands on each side, and squat for a perfect 90-degree angle. I do not use the sink to lift, I use my legs but it's just nice to know I have a grip, good form and support should I need it. I do that same 'in bed' (butt lift) exercise each morning and it also helps the tummy muscles! I also do leg lifts and spins for my hip flexors and a good fetal position hold to stretch my back, all before I get out of bed! I really love you guys!!
Every home used to have a BIG telephone book with white and yellow pages. It was so BIG you just can't comprehend how great a book it was.

Thank you, Bob and Brad. Please keep doing these inspiring videos for many more years. From my mid 60s vantage point your light-hearted approach to dealing with inevitable age-related decline is much appreciated. Your exercise and stretching tips are helpful, and your friendly and good-humoured delivery always provide a positive psychological boost. Upon first retiring I started exercising aggressively, thinking that intense effort was the only way to limit the reduction of fitness due to age. Ironically, excessive exercising did more harm than good, causing lower back issues to occur. Your videos are teaching me the value of going slow and steady to maintain strength and mobility for the long haul.
Great to hear! Keep up the great work!
These gents remind me of the Mr Rodgers of Physical Therapy. Not for the sweaters or what Fred Rodgers did.
what i mean - easy to follow, easy to understand and hard to forget. Entertaining, Informative and man does it add to quality of life.
Thank You for being there to help people from 50 years old and above to help themselves and increases their confidence, that " still" they can do it...and more power to both of you and May THE GOOD LORD BLESS US ALL!!!
I've been doing Classical Stretch w/ Miranda Esmonde White & that's helped me keep stronger at 68 than I would have otherwise. The ones y'all demonstrate on this video are very good .... I felt better after doing them watching your demo. These will be some great additions to what I already do... thanks!!
Miranda’s programs are wonderful!
One of the BEST channels on youtube. You guys can stop saying 'famous' with quotes or 'in our opinion'.
You are the most famous physical therapists on youtube! Close to 300 MILLION views!!
Thanks!!
No!! I LOVE THAT PART!!!😂
That is their professional byline. It should stay. That's business.
Yes! I completely agree with you guys. I was just pointing to the huge number of views. Totally hope they keep saying it!
I believe it, first time here.
I had a TIA 1.5 yrs ago and I went to rehab for 3 months. The most beneficial exercise was the squats from the chair. It strengthened my thighs, and butt and retrained my brain to stand from sitting! Nice episode!
A big shout out thank you! Between my chiropractor wellness doctor and you two, I have been able to walk and keep up with my family and grandchildren, especially at theme parks. I appreciate all your PT videos, and the much needed detail that you provide. Thank you thank you thank you.💕
I second that emotion. Bob & Brad are Really Great for older people (over 50, say - or even 40.) Some of these younger exercise leaders have no idea what it's like to be past your mid-20's. There are a couple of others I also like - well, one - but these guys are GREAT! I'll have to thank them, or buy a product, or something. I'm thinking of buying a product. Thanks, Bob & Brad, I adore you guys! So engaging, too. I love that it has some spontaneity.

I’ve been doing 35 squats when I brush my teeth twice a day for years. I rest the hand that’s not holding the toothbrush on the edge of the vanity in case my balance goes or I go down too far and need assistance getting back to start. It takes 2 minutes to brush and I can get 35 squats in that time. That’s 70 squats every day and the time brushing my teeth is productive!
I just love Bob and Brad, their so down to earth and generally love helping people. Thanks guys your the best.✅ Cheers, from Australia 🇦🇺
I don't know why but you guys remind me of "Bob and Ray" comedy duo. I really like you 2 already!
Good comparison. I hadn’t thought of that.
I’ve just started a new class recently called CORE & MORE & we do
similar muscle building moves like you’ve demonstrated.
I really liked how u showed an simple way to easily incorporate doing SQUATS throughout the day by simply repeating sitting & standing up from a chair or the couch. Also
Liked yr idea of using the extra weights.
Thanks for the tips!!
Thanks for addressing the knees! Many of us can't do squats because of our knees!
I missed that video. Can u suggest exercises that help me get up like a squat but cant because of my knees. I saw the one where you are laying on your back and lifting up and squeezing your butt. Is that what your referring to? My knees are not good enough to do a real squat anymore.
Thank you so much. After lockdown I am very stiff and lost strength in my legs
The simplicity is really inspiring. Your 'unpretentiousness' is really pleasant. I am motivated ... and THANK you for it 😊 !
I wish everyone here peace, love, and happiness. Many blessing are coming your way. 🙏

Many years ago a 93 year old farmer told me that squats were the key to quality of life. Especially getting up and down to the porcelain throne unassisted.
He was correct. When you are elderly you still need those private moments with no assistance!
Soooo true!
Smart farmer!
Thank You For This Idea.
You guys released this on my 33rd birthday! Would love to meet you guys. Greetings from Illinois
Thanks for sharing; reminding me of exercises I have forgotten. Have lost all the fitness, core strength and stamina I worked so hard on earlier last year, since Covid struck and locked down our gyms as well as most everything else. We are back in lockdown again (SE Australia) and I so need to get some exercise in. Had 3 back operations so need to exercise more than most.
I love 💞 you guys! I exercised with Jack Lalanne in the late '60s, early '70s. I'll be 72 within a month. Being able to do single leg squats helped me tremendously a few weeks ago when I had a few days of sciatic pain. My 52 year old son was shocked a year ago when I could do single leg squats. 😂 He was also shocked a few years ago when I was able to balance on one leg for 45 seconds with my eyes closed. I've lost some seconds on that so I'm working back up to it. 😉
that's great !! I always say if you don't use it you'll lose it; that's why I try to maintain a healthy exercise plan- so that when I get older I'll still have it 😂🤞🏻
@@rosemarykarl8711 Yes. It's great to really live as we age rather than just exist! Keep up with movin' n groovin', & takin' Bob n Brad's advice. 😂🤞🍀🎊
Good for you! Keep up the great work!!
@@BobandBrad Aww... I feel honored. I never expected any reply! You two keep me inspired... Some days it's easier than others. I tell everyone to subscribe to you! Even my DPT & PTA friends & acquaintances who know formally I only have a HS education & one college course. 😊
Much to my shock, when I started doing squats a year ago I eventually found that I love them. I do them throughout the day, especially when my lower back starts feeling tight. A squat or 3 or 4 brings instant relief.
As we get older we live a more stationary life style... Sitting all day. We need exercises that helps with movement and balance. Thanks for these great videos.
I am starting my "squats" with my kitchen chair and a pad, and on a door. We'll see what works. Having trouble with my knees, and trouble standing up from a sitting position. Hope this helps. Also will start the hip raises tonight/tomorrow morning in the bed. Thank you for so much help.
how is it goin
It is so, so important to start exercising sooner than later! Take care of yourself now. Thank you Bob and Brad for your informative videos. I'm 48 and I realize that I have to keep doing the hard work so I can stay young into my 50's and beyond!
In The last pumping stretch that Brad demonstrated , we can place the toes of the front foot against the wall (like we keep on car accelerator) and you can stretch the plantar fascia and calf muscles of front foot too.
At 77 years & Heart trouble. I do some not squats. Knee replaced
Like this idea ,Jasbir as plantar fasciitis can be a problem for me as well
Bob and Brad are the BEST. Interesting, easy to understand, don't ask "too much" of you. Do their exercises and routines. You'll feel a whole lot better. And you'll look better.
Richard,.thanks very much for airing on line!.do appreciate your expertise advice and kindness and compassion here.take care,.good video.
I subscribed. Obviously these guys are well grounded in Hollywood’s best disciplines. The production values, the stunning set, the well rehearsed and dynamic demonstrations plus the riveting verbal teaching and guidance is top shelf. The fact that Bob and Brad are easy on the eye doesn’t hurt. This channel is fire. D. Heitman
LOL Eileen. Spot on.
Love these two loveable goofballs ... they know their stuff!! ❤️
Watching and listening to you two helps many people, physically but you also help mentally to feel better, more relaxed. So, you do fix broken hearts. You help those with a broken heart to feel better. So watch and listen to Bob and Brad, then listen to Sgt. Peppers lonely hearts club band.
66 yrs young, both knees,both hips, wife gave me Classic Body Blade 5 years ago,upgraded to Pro BB,Xmas, have transformed my body, doing 40 plus squats,balance,walking with rollator, . Hope your pard is feeling better. Even thinking is getting better.
I'm glad your video showed up in my feed, it's perfect timing!
Thank you for your guidance. I can begin this at home.
I was fortunate to have a excellent trainer, and lifted weights until developing Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome.
I refuse to give up or give in, and your advice is of great help to me to begin slowly begin some sort of exercise that feels right for me.
Your advice is helping my motivation to begin taking the necessary steps to improve my health.
Thank you
Sorry for the mistakes in my post, this crazy making disease also affected my brain.
Scientists still have no answers for Chronic Fatigue Immune System Dysfunction (CFIDS,) but are learning people with long term effects from Covid-19 (Long Covid) have the same or similar symptoms as CFIDS.
Hopefully this will help people like me.
I've focused on super nutrition and exercise my whole life, but it did not spare me from CFIDS.
Exercise is important for a strong immune system, and your video is definitely helping my motivation to keep going to keep improving. 💪
You guys are simply the best, I look at your videos every day and I’ve learned so much and implemented in my daily exercise routine, especially now with some pretty bad right hip issues. Very good videos, please keep up the wonderful work, your videos are also good for people who cannot afford physical therapy, I have several friends that are in that position and they say that they watch your videos and do just as well as if they went to a PT person. Thank you guys!
Thank you Bob & Brad. I am 70 and have always worked out but these days I am more concerned with what I need to to work on as I age. I have been looking for this instruction.
Quality people, human, caring, humble ..
Refreshing
Thankyou
You both are adorable, humorous and very informative about exercise and health. Just found your channel and am learning a lot.
Thank you for your videos , and excellent advice, I have been watching and doing your excercises for the last 2 years, after a fall down 17 stairs a few years ago, in which I broke 8 ribs, dislocated shoulder, clavical, and a spinal injury :) oh and I found out later chipped a tooth :) your excecises have helped in every way thank you both
So nice to have folks who are older doing these excersizes. I had knee replacement two years ago and still have lots of morning waking pain
After watching this a few weeks ago, I started doing 35 squats while my K cup is brewing and then another 35 during the brewing of my second cup and another 35 while brushing my teeth before bed. Thank you!!!
I can't help but to giggle and smile with you both! This is the first time I'm watching your channel and now I'm subscribing. I hope to do your suggested stretching, strengthen and being overall more flexible in my SENIOR YEARS! 😁
can you tell me what kind of exercises one can do for sore shoulders and neck???
I certainly appreciated this. (I'm 82) Thank you!
a long time ago my dr had me rehab with you guys after I got out of a boot for my Achilles tendon. She asked me did I want to rehab with a trainer at gym a PT or you guys. lol I chose well. Just had my husband watch all the things as I did the exercises.
You guys are great. You teach and help me so much at my age of 72. . My opinion agrees, you are famous (or should be) and fabulous
Interesting to note that exercise mitigates against dementia (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's etc.) _but_ what's extra interesting that dementia researchers in trying to determine what exercises in particular are best for dementia mitigation have settled on keeping your legs strong. So yes, squats and other exercises such as brisk walking (for 45 mins daily).
Wow, that's very interesting and good to know!
Can you send that note that you just wrote to me on an email to Kathymachealth@gmail.com please. I have a friend I would like to tell about it. For some reason I guess you can't copy replies on UA-cam. Thank you
@@kathymaclaren2711 hope you received it. One another way of going about it would be to take a screenshot and use google lens to scan the content, and you are done 😊
I wouldn't be surprised if the explanation (why exercising legs mitigates better the risk of dementia/Alzheimer's) lies simply in the fact that its immobilized seniors who are even more vulnerable than just seniors (able to walk).
Also an older study showed doing 5 sets of stairs daily reduces risk of heart attack by 40%. Doesnt have to be all at once.
I need all those exercises. My PT at Mayo Clinic is working me on many of them already with me. I had a stroke when I had a heart transplant 19 years ago, and have been enjoying your UA-cam videos.
Pumps are just about twice the height of a typical heel on a man's dress leather shoe. High heels are generally at least 1 1/2 inches tall - much taller than a pump - some are extreme 3 or 4 inches! You'll be seeing women who wear/wore those heels in days to come, betcha! I was a fan of a standard high heeled shoe for work. The shortened calves started showing up by my mid 40's. Love your work!! I wish you'd do a full routine for seniors. Thanks so much! ♥ ♥ ♥
As my husband says, “the car guys of Physical Therapy”...LOL!

@@coffeenow2382 Go into the NPR archives and search for Car Guys. They were from Boston and answered questions about car problems. Hilarious.
Another good reason to keep legs apart slightly for squats and getting up and down is it gives you more stability and better balance.
Absolutely.
Bob & Brad,
Probably the most important thing I've read on your site is a comment by
Sue Thomas, "Being strong is a joy." Thank you Sue for my new mantra and
thank you Bob and Brad for showing me the way back...
I use a Kathy Smith tape that includes squats, plies, and lunges--among other things. I love it! Also found that these exercises help my knee pain because they strengthen the muscles that support the knees. Thanks, Bob and Brad!
Of course!
Im in Sydney Australia. You guys are so informative and funny. I appreciate the info. Keep on keeping on!
Thank you! I went to pt and have been working on squats. It really can be a slow process to get to a full squat.

That calf stretch can also help with plantar fasciitis. My phys. therapist had me do it while curling/clenching my toes a bit, when stretching to keep from overstretching the bottom of my foot. It helped a lot! Sometimes I start having the problem again, but I know what to do. :-) Squats are the best. I am 81 and I do them throughout the day.
I lay on my bed rotate hips hold ten it's painful ..5 each side legs together then seperate. Well guys this has been fun really has thank u I needed a smile..and yes I can get up and down from the throne still.sitting in chair eat meals the killer ,hunchback of Notre Dame when I rise then hobble to sink..if I arch backwards better..
Yeah, that's a good way to rotate hips without kneeling! I hope the pain is a good, stretching kind of pain and not something dangerous.
Thank you. Finding simply walking a chore since Covid. Great starting exercises for seniors
Thank you guys! You two are amazing! Keep us in the best physically shape as possible. 💙💙
I had two lower back fusions and Couldn’t even tie my shoes so with the help of a resistance band and a hook above my head I started doing squats and it made an unbelievable difference in tying my shoes wish I had tried it sooner.
This is a good place for me to start (the very beginning). Thank you!
Be patient with yourself, but don’t give up. I started with wobbly bridges and can mostly do sit to stands now. I do 30 a day. My knees do bark at me so I put an exercise band just above my knees to remind me not to let my knees cave in.

......Greet......Greetings.......
...***Greetings, Beloved of God. This message is lengthy but, it is very important.
The ancient Israelite was tested by the Sabbath commandment to see if they would keep God’s law or no in Exodus 16:4-
Do not be surprised if God allow man to do a similar test, enforce some type of Sabbath law to see if we will keep His law or no.
************************************************
Right now, we all do not see eye to eye, but, please hear me out..............
There is no way anyone can prove from the KJV Bible that Saturday, Sunday, etc. is the biblical seventh day Sabbaths. For, the words Saturday, Sunday, etc. do not appear in the Bible.
A continuous Saturday, Sunday, etc., “man made Sabbaths” ARE NOT the true Bible Sabbaths because they are not calculated by true time. God’s true time is written in Genesis 1:14.
When God commanded us to keep a seventh day Sabbath, kill the Passover on the 14th day of the first month, keep the day of atonement on the 10th day of the seventh month, etc......would He not have given us a calendar/Time to find these dates?
Yes, He would have and He did, in Genesis 1:14. We are commanded to keep the days, years, etc. by the lights in heaven (the sun, moon and stars.)
God did not specify which days, so, we must conclude that He meant for all of His 3 category of days to be kept by the lights in heaven.
***********
The Sabbath command is one of the Ten Commandments listed in Exodus 20. It is just as important as the other nine and God commands us to keep it.
Multitudes of people think and teach that we are only required to keep 9 of God’s Ten Commandments. My Friend, if we think this way, we are already deceived.
*****************************************************************************************************************
***The Sabbath is a feast. Leviticus 23:1-3
***The moon is for seasons. Psalms 104:19
***The lights in heaven are for seasons, etc. Genesis 1:14
***The words “feast” and “season” comes from the same Hebrew word, MOED.
***MOED is, appointed times, appointments, feast, season, etc.
The Sabbath is a MOED, an appointed time , a feast, a season, etc. Therefore, the moon, along with the other lights in heaven, are for Sabbaths.
THE SABBATH IS TO BE CALCULATED BY THE TIME GOD ORDAINED IN THE BEGINNING OF CREATION NOT BY MAN’S TIME/CALENDARS.
Who can prove from Genesis 1:14 that the Sabbath day is not calculated by the lights in heaven? Although many have tried, it cannot be refuted!!
Take a glimpse at the dates in Genesis 7:11 and Genesis 8:4,13,14. Are these dates calculated by the Time God commanded in Genesis 1:14 or by the Gregorian time or some other man made time?
**********
There are about 167 countries that keep Sunday as the seventh day and the remaining, approximately, 64 countries keep Saturday as the seventh day.
If there is a “seventh day Sunday law” enforced and the remaining 64 countries change their calendars to read Sunday as the seventh day, then, the world will be keeping Sunday the seventh day as the Sabbath.
Mon. Tue. Wed. Thur. Fri. Sat. Sunday Law

What day will you and I then keep as the Sabbath?
Already today, there are “Sunday Blue Laws” on government books.
Man can change “their” time anytime and deceive the world under the leadership of Satan. We must calculate God’s Sabbath by God’s Time so The Great Deceiver can not trick us about the true Sabbath and “cause” us to worship him.
“ He will think to change time and laws.” says Daniel 7:25
He only “THOUGHT” to change time when He “supposedly” had replaced God’s calendar with his calendar on earth. For he could not and has not truly change time because God’s Time sits in the heavens where no man can tamper with it! The sun, moon and stars, the lights in heaven, are God’s Time/Calendar.
***********
God’s Calendar has three category of days, the new moon day, the six work days and the Sabbath day. 2 Kings 4:18-23 & Ezekiel 46:1-3. The new moon day is the first day of the month, the beginning of months. These days never, ever, ever overlaps each other on God’s Time!
........However, this is not true on the famous Gregorian calendar. The new moon day falls anywhere and everywhere on that calendar, in a given month.
For example, sometimes, the new moon day falls on a “man made Saturday Sabbath”, on a “man made Sunday Sabbath”, in the midst of the month, etc.
How can it both be the first day of the month and the seventh day Sabbath?
How can the first day of the month start in the midst of a month?
God said in Genesis 1:14 to, let the lights in heaven be for days, etc.
So, which one or ones of God’s three category of days are kept by the lights in heaven?
...The new moon day?
...The six work days?
...The Sabbath day?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Example of God’s months:
1st week... new moon day, six work days and Sabbath day
2nd, 3rd, 4th weeks....six work days and Sabbath day
The next month the cycle starts over.
God’s months reset. Read Luke 6:1
Man uses this same concept. For example:
The 1st and 3rd Sunday in August, the 1st and 3rd Sunday in September.”
“The 2nd and 4th Sabbath in April, the 2nd and 4th Sabbath in May.”
Note: There is never, never, ever, ever, 5 weekly Sabbaths in any one of God’s months.
This is not true on the Gregorian calendar. Sometimes, there are 5 weekly “Gregorian Sabbaths.” This is not in align with true time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I believe there is a great deception coming to get people to worship Satan through a false Calendar/Sabbath controversy.
God is a God of truth. God guides people by His truth. God’s Word is truth. Truth is our shield and buckler. Truth will keep us from all deceptions, the mark of beast, etc.
Christ did not suffer on the cross for us to walk in a lie and continue to cling to our traditions! He did not die for us to obey the “voice of man” above “the voice of God!”
Read the stories about “King Saul” in 1 Samuel 15 and the “man of God” in 1 king 13. Let us learn a lesson from these testimonies....Obey God’s Voice!
When we do and teach man’s commandments for doctrine, it is vain! It is useless! God does not honor it! There will be no reward!
Again! there is a great possibility some type of “Man made Sabbath Law” could be enforced. These latter days crises seems to be pointing in that direction. If this is not true, then, we do not have to worry about it......But.....
....If it is truth then, we need to become more knowledgeable about this subject in order to make the right decision whom we will honor and serve.
A Sabbath test will reveal those who believe Gods Word and those who do not.
Whether there is or whether there is not a “Sabbath Test”, we still need to know the truth about God’s Time written in the Word of God so we can be obedient in all things.
***Worship Him that made heaven, earth and sea.
***Babylon is fallen! Babylon is fallen!
***Do not worship the Beast and receive his mark, whosoever does, will be eternal lost and be burnt with fire and brimstone.
****Read Revelation 13 & 14
This truth about God’s Calendar/Time and The Sabbath written in Genesis 1:14, Leviticus 23:1-3, Psalms 104:19, etc.is spreading throughout the four corners of the earth.
This message enrages many who claim to be followers of Christ because they can not refute it. It seems, the people outside the church buildings are the ones eagerly accepting it and believing it.
Please let us consider what is being said here and further research this important subject before it is to late.
Peace and Love Friends of God
Squats , I totally agree. Have advanced ankloosing spondylitis, I have limited movement. Doing squats holding onto a chair, counter, sink allows me to get deep into a squat . Results are that I am able to do some things that I had not been able to accomplish b4. Results in a week! Just saying.
Thank you Bob and Brad! I like your sense of humor, and that you start with those of us who need to take it easy and then hopefully progress on up to doing more exercises.
Guys, love your material and the lighthearted manner withwhich you deliver it. That said....I think everyone would benefit from a slightly slower flow of speech. What with your accent and all, as a brain injured 59 yo I have a challenge understanding, especially Bob more often than not. Keep up the great work!Thanks
This was so very helpful, you work together so well to present every relevent detail at every stage
Hi Yvonne, you have the same last name as me. 👍😊
Very good stretches. Bet they'd feel great. I'll start trying these soon, out on the patio. Will need to watch again & take notes next time.
I've been dealing with swollen ankles, then feet & then the knees & then the entire foot & lower leg. Things are improving now so I think these would help quite a bit!
I would recommend you look into the Chinese exercise Ba-Duan-Jin or the "8 brocades". It is highly suitable for seniors and stretches almost every parts of the body and takes only 12 minutes to complete a cycle. Squating is an essential part of it also. My wife and I do this everyday and find it very easy and beneficial.
Do these and yours. ; ) Also An old study showed doing 5 sets of stairs daily reduces your risk of heart attack by 40%. Cheers!
Thank you so much
What do you mean by 5 sets of stairs. Going up and down 5 times or 50 times.
Thank you I do feel your the only guys who understand older people or older people recovering from injury . Funny and not condescending which is great.
This video inspired the following lines...”Let me age with Love and Grace, See these wrinkles in my face, As truth and wisdom for today, Heart and Soul remain my Faith” ♥️
I just want to say you’ve given me my life back. I have full use of my knees and pain free. Thank you so much.
Your videos help me feel so much safer and effective in the services I offer to my senior adaptive yoga students. Thank you.
My mom had both hips replaced and (unfortunately) purchased a lift chair. Those things should be outlawed. Over the years she has continually used her lift chair and now her glutes are atrophied. She cannot get up out of most chairs without someone helping to pull her up, or sit down without falling the last 6 inches into the chair. I agree that this is the most important muscle group to keep in shape!
That 1st exercise you did... I did when I had menstrual cramps and it helped a lot. Reverse the blood and helped relieve the pain.
I found that my pelvic floor is wonderfully improved from doing squats! Good to see your video here to reinforce my exercising (61 years old).
Slipping down the slope that's what we should all learn from Bob and focus more on health.💯
HA!! Just found you two. I love your Intro Song hahahaha I'm an LMT (30+ yrs!) and now I want one for myself! ha ha ha You made my day. I digress, your content is a great help.THANK YOU. I'm glad you two have each other to keep each other going! I 'm turning 60 and I incorporate exercises whenever I am waiting. If standing in a conversation with neighbors, I'm secretly isolating abs firing. At the stove, squats, while brushing teeth I do a wall squat..etc. Highly recommend stacking habits like that. Your tips are fantastic. Thanks. I'm your new fan 🙂
Been doing squats for the last 2 yrs and my knees thank me. I go upstairs without feeling my knee caps with each step. All age groups should be doing the squats.
Sure is a lot to remember. Is it ok to just hike. Like where I live, I am able to go up 600-800 ft in elevation and 2 miles back to the top?
Thanks for helping me with my sciatica through your video a couple years ago. It does wonders!!!
you are cute. Are you by any chance single?
