    These are harder than they look! I am 78 and I can do all except the single leg raise on toes while standing. I can do it with the right leg, but not the left. My left knee has hurt when stressed for years, and my left lower back has had L4-L5 bulges, along with lumbar stenosis. But these are great exercises. Thank you so much!

    Thank you Will. You're advice and exercises are simple and straightforward. I love how you not only explain the exercises but their purpose for which muscles they help. I found your videos about a month ago as a suggestion by UA-cam from some other health videos I had been watching and I'm so glad I clicked. I've been trying some of the exercises and stretches the last few weeks and I am already feeling the effects and getting benefits. Keep it up!!

    @deeannjohnsoncapps6018 11 місяців тому +31

    Thank you for this (especially) and all your advice for those over 50. I am well over 50 and a certified fitness instructor but after several recent injuries and previous DVT’s (one near fatal), I have been trying various exercises found on UA-cam for months, but trying these exercises, I felt the difference and impact on my circulation immediately. I am sharing with others I know with similar issues and will be sharing this and you with other fitness instructors. I am so glad I happened upon your videos more recently and even one other really good one recently released i saw copied by another PT within 2 weeks (which I found first) but not as well demonstrated or demonstrated in a way as good for middle aged, injured or older individuals even though the same exercise. We are taught as fitness instructors to show modifications whenever we teach and you do that well. (Not sure about other PT’s.) Please keep these coming!
