I have been on the couch for the last 10 years due to the severe pain of fibromyalgia. Now at 67 I am doing whatever it takes to "get back". 5 months of walking almost everyday. Today I bought a bike. LOOKING GOOD!!
Will, another great video! Thank you for not just demonstrating how to do the exercises. Another great thing is the way you speak, tone and speed. Very understandable and very encouraging tone.
I have found that standing with back against the wall, then placing a firm foam roller in the lumbar region, feet about 2 foot in front and then squatting down real slow. so that the foam roller rolls up the back to the trapezes is a GREAT leg exerciser. If done slow the burn is intense - the dual benefit is, the back gets a type of massage as you squat.
The Goblet squat is my 1st Strength exercise in a 3 days/week programme, after a fast walk warm-up. Excellent exercise, and Will explains it in the best manner possible.
BRILLIANT! This is exactly what I was looking for! Not only will this help legs and core but also strengthen my arms. Thanks for explaining the correct execution slowly and in detail.
I started this exercise about 2 months ago and it has changed the way my legs look. Sometimes my knees hurt so I will back off from 15 to 10 sometimes. Great exercise. Thanks for your help!
I am 68 and do full squats to my heels with the dumbbell tucked beneath my chin vertically. Started about two months ago and it greatly helped improve my knee joint stability. Also, I do one leg eccentric toe raises (lowers actually). It cured residual gout pain in my feet.
Hiya Will. Any chance of doing some 20-30 minute full body workout videos with weights? I try to pick out various exercises from your videos, but get lost with the choice!
Just did 10 of these. Going to include in my daily routine. Love the comparisons with the.bar and barbells especially considering us over 50s. Great ! Thanks Will.
@@imjamming all squats are hard on ageing or arthritic knees. I am 65 with rheumatoid arthritis in my hands shoulders and knees and doing wall sits is beneficial for me. I also wear a weighted vest when I go walking. Again, this strengths my thighs and legs. Everyone should do the exercises that are beneficial but not dangerous or damaging.
Isometric exercises are not recommended for people with high blood pressure. I practiced static postures (Kung fu) for years but now, I do various squatting movements .
Thanks Will, good sense & advice for us. Remember not to over push your limits, be careful & safe. I have done the exercises you have shown & man have they helped.
Awesome , thanks Will! I’ve been enjoying your videos for a few months now and found them all worthwhile and well done. Ps. My daughter says “he’s cute !! “ I don’t see it
Thank you, Will! I love your channel & i am doing many of these exercises. 69 yr old lady here! I have a whole playlist of your videos. VERY helpful!! ❤
Thank you!! It's so nice to have exercises on offer that I can consider doing at my age. It is time for me to get back into shape!! Your videos are great information.
❤ yes ur physio exercise work for me I hve been following ur program thank u very thoughtful of u sir bless u I m 70yrs young 😊 my knee was the problem its very much better I'll continue n so r my friends whom I share this video. I m frm Klang West Malaysia ❤
Fantastic to hear that my videos have been able to offer relief for you - keep up the great work you're doing and thank you for sharing my work with others😃
Wow! Been doing Sit to Stand for awhile. Even added your Balance version with eyes closed. Ready for a new challenge! Going to try this this week. Thanks
Thank you WH for the video for strengthening legs. The muscles in my legs and torso have become weak over the last 3 years due to lack of exercise, no swimming during Covid and losing 4 stone in weight. I also find it difficult to swim. I intend to buy your book and see if I can start a weekly routine to remedy this problem. I'll start with the legs!😂 Thank you. 8.20 pm 16/7.
I'll definitely try to add this in. I recently got an initial full-body workout from a trainer when I joined a new gym which includes lower body inclined leg presses, leg extension, seated leg curl, abductors and adductor (machines). I do the full body workout two times a week in the gym, but I do a selection of home strength training exercises at home on a third day. I always check out your exercises since I'm 72. Thanks.
Will, Can you do a video on slipped disc in neck pushing on spinal chord, affecting nerves and muscles in legs? Thanks for these videos and your expertise.
I quite like the look of this Will. I can’t do much at the moment owing to Achilles tendon. But prior to my injury I was enjoying Deadlifts. Although a bit concerned eventually something would go twang at some point. This will be a good alternative, definitely looks safer. Thanks for posting 👍
Excellent instruction, young man. Also a perfect niche because UA-cam is saturated with many channels for young very abled young people. Your top quality instruction is much required for older adults.
This is a really good explanation of the goblet squat. I have some knee problems after a couple of bike crashes and a couple of surgeries. I find the goble squat is much better for me. I also lack shoulder flexibility (being a cyclist). I also run but not long distance, and i find since i started weight training I don't get so many niggling injuries. Have you any calf strengthening excersises? my right calf is weak after a skin injury that required compression bandaging. It caused muscle wastage and I cannot rebuild the muscle. I'm 68, female ,and really worried by the loss of muscle mass. I used to be super strong ,and I still work a mnual job, but feel like a weakling and worried I'm prematurely turning frail
Hi there - thank you for sharing your experience, I'm sorry to hear about the problems you've experienced. Regarding calf exercises, I have the following videos which may prove helpful! ua-cam.com/video/nWo__sTYP3w/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/a9NvFR9d_8U/v-deo.html
Thank you so much Will you are a real gem .Goblet squad keeps our back in right position. Love yours ..one best exercise for shoulder one for strong legs, save us a lots of search and doubts..Hope you can share more of those best one single exercises..And your explanation is clear and well illustrated. Thanks again for your generously sharing and kindness.❤
Thank you for your kind comment, I'm so pleased to hear you've found these videos helpful. I'll keep in mind that this format has been beneficial for my future videos. I hope you have a great week ☺️
I have found squats actually help my knee pain! It stretches them as well as strengthen, and seems to line everything up. I started slow, not going down too far at first, and also hung onto side of a counter to assist at first. Best wishes and encouragement!
Very glad I found you on UA-cam. Happy accident! I’m 69, relatively healthy, but definitely lost some strength and balance. Will be using your videos to help myself. Also looking forward to receiving your book!
I'm glad you came across my channel too! I hope the advice in my videos proves beneficial for you. Thank you for purchasing my book also, I hope you find it packed with interesting and useful content ☺️
I love that you showed the exercise first then explained. I can't stand UA-camrs who talk for 10 minutes then show. I'm appreciative either way but the demonstration is first is a better approach
I do dumbell goblet squats, reverse lunges, calf raises and banded side steps as a full leg day 3 times a week. I am pretty sure if I didn't get all those exercises from you, I got at least 3 of the 4.
Thanks for this Will. Such good information and progressive overload tips worked in. I've been building up my sports rehab routine but my knees keep holding me back. Two steps forward, one step back! I hope this finally helps me take that extra step forward.
I have a gym. We focus on the extreme sport of aging. Good suggestions you have. We do them here. But we also do a lot of leaning against the wall and do a horse stance, just a suggestion. We get good results.
I am 61 with strong well-defined quads and calves including sculpted soleus muscles like a body builder. It's from single speed hill repeat bicycling, attacking hills out of the saddle on the steepest parts to near complete exhaustion, then repeat. Joints are fine since it's low impact.
Thank you for this exercise. I will use it on my next Leg Day. The demonstrations and information are stellar. 💪👍. Helping me maintain my strength and flexibility in my mid sixties is much appreciated..

Fantastic work! Well done on the effort you're putting into keeping active - it's not always easy, but it is most definitely worth it!
Wow. Keep it going. 😊
If you can swim, do so! So many variations which provide unparalled exercise.
Clearest and most concise instruction on this exercise I have ever seen!!
I really like how you explain the 'why' as well as the 'how.' It makes so much more sense .
Very pleased to hear you found them useful!
@@gailsykes2691 So pleased to hear you found my explanations helpful!

Well said. Totally agree.
Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate the feedback, it helps me to make sure my videos are as well received as possible ☺

So pleased my video came at the right time for you!
I’m 70. I’ve started doing these with a kettle bell. My legs are becoming stronger every week. :)
I started this exercise about 2 months ago and it has changed the way my legs look. Sometimes my knees hurt so I will back off from 15 to 10 sometimes. Great exercise. Thanks for your help!
Great to hear you've really noticed a difference with this exercise! Keep up the great work :)
I enjoy that u speak to us seniors respectfully. Ur tips are short, not like a lecture.
I’ve done the sit to stand for less than 2 weeks, and noticed improvement in my mobility almost immediately. Thank you so much.
So pleased to hear you've already noticed an improvement, that's fantastic! Keep up the great work :)

Yes! We are working on a membership area full of that exact content right now! Should be available later in the year :)

Great ! Thanks Will.
Keep up the great work! So pleased to hear you'll be able to fit these into your routine :)
My squat preference is the wall sit and holding the isometric pose for as long as I can until the pain is too much to bear.
Wall sit can be hard on aging or arthritic knees.
