This, for 83 year old senior, beginning again to walk, is perfect, and, best “for seniors” I’ve known since 1988, when I, myself, was teaching in retirement homes. Thank You very much.
If you're older like me (70) and are noticing a weakness in your legs this is a great place to start regaining your leg strength. Follow along the best you can and if you stay with it you will soon start to see a difference. I know I did. Don't give up old timers, you can do it.
Found you because my sister in law fell today and it reminded me of the dangers of falling as we age… and it is preventable by strengthening our lower body! Thank you Mike for posting this easy sequence. I sent it to her and she feels she can do it. You will never know the full impact of your video in people’s lives.
my mom is 85 and fell last night because her legs gave out on her. Fire rescue came and assessed her, thank God no hip fracture, or anything like that. She was fine. I am going to start having her do these exercises
That’s enough to make us think about working out. How many of us oldies fall and break hips and worse. We can still built muscle, and strengthen our lower body to prevent falls. Plus it keeps us out of nursing homes. 😉 I’m all for that. 🙏 Thanks Mike.
Had shoulder surgery and was limited in my exercise overall. I started to feel weakness in my legs, which I'd never felt before. These exercises help because I feel like they're aimed at strengthening the muscles that I need to strengthen.
These exercises have been a great help. I really struggled when i first started and could only manage three or four of the standing exercises. I've just gone through the entire video and managed to do everything and keep up with Mike. So, if you find them a bit difficult to start with just keep going and you will get there. Thanks Mike!
I felt positive results after the first time I did your exercises, Michael. Thank you for the work you do; the exercises provide hope that we can improve our aging bodies. Keep sharing your discipline with us- we need you. Thanks again. Danella
Just come back from a weeks holiday. My knees were so bad as I hadnt done these special exercises, but after this one I'm back on track! Thanks , Mike. You are definitely heaven sent! Jennie
I have back problems and knee replacements… And have been doing these exercises for a couple weeks now and have felt wonderful… My knees were stiffening up and after doing these exercises they feel awesome… I wanna thank you for all the help you’ve given me… Without you I don’t think things would’ve been possible… I will do my exercise faithfully every day and I will keep on doing them… Thank you again
Well me again. Another week of doing these exercises 3 times a day. I cannot believe the difference they have made to my everyday life. I am stronger and able to perform everyday jobs a lot easier. My pain and discomfort in legs hips and knees has diminished considerably. Thank you very much.
I'm a Retired Home Health Aide, I thank the physical therapist who taught me how to work with my patients. I'm 67 years old and use these Excerise everyday, and I thank my nurses too that taught us about safety for seniors. Now that I'm a senior citizen I take advantage of my skills. Thanks 😊 so much!!
Thank you, these excerices are just what I needed, I am 84 and was getting very weak, I feel better just with the 1st session. It will now be part of my daily routine. 😊
I been working out with you a week tomorrow! I’m so excited that I can do these! I’m 75 and I want to be flexible. Next month I’ll try the upper body exercises you do. Thanks for choosing ones that a senior can really do!
This exercise helps a lot in strenthening my legs and reduce my knee pains. I am doing this for almost a month now and, continue doing it every day. Thank you very much. God bless you.
Just found you exercises. We are in our mid 70’s and walk a lot but I get patella femoral pain despite orthotics. Have started your daily knee strengthening exercises. Stay tuned! Thank you Mike. 👍🏻
I'm so glad I found you ,,, my balance is terrible, I've had hip surgery, I've fall so easy ,thank you please keep up good work,, also enjoy video on feet excersises .....
Mike I thought I was in great shape for my age “73” until I went on vacation with 4 younger sisters. I tried this video and did well… except my calves are weak and I could not get up and down out of the chair with my arms crossed as many times as required. I’m sticking with this video and pray I improve after less than a week with some walking. If you other suggestions I’m open to any! Thanks
Love these set of exercises and what a change they already are making. I have just discovered these since lockdown and now it is becoming a daily routine. Thank you
I'm so glad I found your leg exercises Mike, they are the first set I've been able to stick at and feel like I've had a work-out that finally suits me. I'm just about 79 y.o. going on 21 but the body is letting me down with OA in wrists and R Knee. You are one good egg, and thanks a big bunch.
Hello I am not a senior but after trying to rid myself of back knee and leg pain to strengthen back my legs, your workouts are a God send...thank you! I was hit by a drunk driver years ago but the pain still hinders me
63yrs old here and I think this guy's great, I do a lot of his exercises because I feel it in all the right places but none of his movements are too difficult. Plus, he's very encouraging.
I just 💘 those exercises. I havent worked out in a while and felt so much better after working out. I sit alot and Im going to start going to the gym. Im 70 yrs young !
Thank you so much for following your exercise every day ,my right knee is now improving a lot , I also introduced your teaching exercises to a lot of friends , they all agreed with me your teaching exercises are the best fit for seniors . Thank you so much Mike 👏👍🏻❤️😀
I am 73 and had 2 TKRs last year(April and August) Did great with Home Health and 6 weeks of OPT. Kept up with exercises until middle of October then sloughed off. My knees now hurt when getting out of a chair. These exercises look similar to what I was doing. Just making sure that I can do these after knee replacements
Thanks again Mike, for your great exercise’s they are helping me with a long term knee injury. I actually enjoy doing these exercises. There very do-able for my age group. 😊
I found this site whilst shielding and I have been doing these exercises daily and the difference in the strength and flexibility of my legs is quite marked. I am moving better and feeling good when walking. Well done and thank you
Mike, so appreciate your workouts, this particular one is great for my two new knees, ouch! Thanks Mike, and all good things and big blessings to you and yours for this coming year… 👍
I have been using this program for quite a while now to improve my knees after knee replacement, it ha greatly improved my mobility and strength in my legs
Thank you do much Mike. This has been our (my wife and I)the problem for months and watching you doing the exercise of the lower body has impacted me to do this. Thank you again Paul & Sally PNG
I’m 76 and go to a senior’s fitness class, run by the City of Toronto, twice a week. It’s called Gentle Fit, but believe me it’s far from ‘gentle’! We do 30 mins of aerobics then a lot of the chair exercises shown here. We use weights, bands and balls. People even come with their walkers and do variations of the exercises, even in the depths of our Canadian winters which can be a challenge!!
Amazing to hear Angela. Great work! Although I have never experienced anything like a Canadian winter, I can imagine how tough getting out to exercise would be! Keep it all up! 🙂
some of the best exercise for seniors i have seen and well explained, which helps and encorage to stay with it for strength/fexibility/mobility!!! Thanks sooo much!!!!
I found you by accident Mike, so glad I did, now am feeling much better, as I have arthritis and your workouts are helping me so much. Thank you very much, please don't give up on us.
Thanks very much. These exercises are great and well suited to do indoors. I have noticed the difference after a few times. of doing them. My knees give me trouble but these exercises are giving me confidence and strength. Cheers MIKE!
Pain in the knees has been a common complain amongst the people our age. This video has been helpful as it shows different easy and achievable exercises that our adults can do. It reminds me of how the people our age in reviving mind would share their complains of knee pain and how exercising truly help reduce the pain. Although, using these exercises does not only apply to those with knee pain, everyone in our age can do it in order to prevent knee pain!
When I was a Home Health Aide in the 1980 and 1990, retired now my physical therapists taught me how to work with my patients. The physical therapist came twice a week and and work with my patients the other days. I encourage them so they wouldn't fall. I miss my job so much.
Thank you, Mike. I enjoy your videos and the workouts are effective without being overly much. I hope others will go to your website and make a donation so you can continue to help the senior community.
Hi Mike, I found your exercises by good luck. The honest truth is I look forward exercising every day. I'm doing a lot of sitting as I have an online job working from home, my muscles got extremely lazy. I've realised this as I'm now battling to walk stairs at the age of almost 62. This has now become a mental issue and I'm avoiding places with steps. I also tend to have a slight limp in my right leg after walking a short distance. Had X rays done - nothing wrong and I have no pain either. My routine with your exercises is as follows: (1) The Quick Stretch Routine to do each morning (2) Leg Strengthening Exercises (3) Simple Seated Warm-Up Routine (4) Full Exercise Routine (20 minutes) . Am I on the right track to be able to walk stairs again? Thank you. I love the exercises!
I wish to send my profound thanks having followed your exercises it’s no exaggeration to state life has more meaning for me once again. They are giving me the necessary greater confidence and better ability to walk, which I was losing to fear of crossing roads and transcending pavement undulations. Thanks once again and although not life changing yet it hopefully will be as I continue with your excellent lower body fitness regime.
This is a really helpful video, thanks. One thing I'd like to suggest: always let us know what sort of chair is needed for a workout - with arms, without arms, and so on. It's useful to get set up before the session starts. In the case of this video, I discovered by the end that I didn't need a chair with arms.
Thanks Mike. Have really been feeling my body-age lately and I hate it because my mind is still young and fun 😁 Finally found a good stretch workout that's enjoyable and effective. My daily go-to 👏
Thank you so much for your videos! I just found them today and I'm confident they will help me. I'm 52, I suffer from severe lung disease ,social anxiety and depression. Due to all 3 illnesses I slowly stopped being active. As a result my Dr. told me I was becoming debilitated. I recently realized it has come to the point that I'm in need of physical therapy. But due to my illnesses and now covid-19 that's not possible. I have a manual treadmill that I rigged so that it doesn't have such a steep incline and tried to get into a routine of getting on it every hr for 3 minutes 6 times a day to build up my leg muscle, but even that's too much. I think your videos are exactly where I need to start. So even though you cannot hear the sincerity of my gratitude... It is there. Thanks again
Hey Patricia. You're more than welcome. :) Thanks for sharing and good to hear you've made the start.. Continue to keep yourself positive and your focus on the improvements you're going to make. Changes can be made.. Keep up the great great work!
I just done a spine surgery and I need to walk to strengthen my leg muscles. Ive started to follow your video and it's effective as the weather makes it difficult for me to take a walk outside. Thank you
In the Spring I thought old age had set in and I'd be hobbling around for the rest of my life. A few months of your exercises has put a spring back into my step and my life.
Starr Beeler any advice for helping with the fact that I work and walk all day for 8 hours but if I take a lunch and sit for 30 minutes I am stiff as a board. It’s getting old.
After sitting around at home because of covid then finding the following year I had two types of cancer which really slowed me down my legs are so weak I plan on doing these exercises. Thank you so much
I've been searching for exactly this thing, Im 75 YO and walk every day, but still feel my legs are weak. This is just perfect. I am very appreciative to have found this channel. Will be utilizing these videos every day. Thank you Mike!
Wonderfull!! I feel so much better after doing these exercises. I did them a while ago & couldn't find you but I persisted and I am so happy I did. Thank you!
Thank you so very much for this most needed and helpful exercises. I was not able to touch my toes with the leg outstretched before, but doing these exercises I can reach down to my right foot, but need to work harder on the left one. Will keep trying. Thank you
Love this leg strengthening workout. Started last August to help my knee problems, and found it also eases my sciatica (herniated L4/5) disc! Thank you.
I am in an independant living facility, Grande Avenue Village, in Cochrane, Alberta Our recreation director, Jessica leads us with some of these exercise moves usually 5 times a week. Occasionally, she's not available due to family obligations, and then she provides these exercises by video i our exercise room.
I really enjoy your videos and the exercices ! You're an excellent instructor ! Had a total replacement revision on my right knee 6 months ago and waiting for the total replacement on my left knee in october. We are now confined because of this Coronavirus an your videos really help me keeping up with the physiotherapy at home. Squats are still difficult with my stiff knees. One day at a time... Still a lot of work to get back in shape ! Thanks again for your help !
Tried this new exercise I was able to do all except 1 which surprised me I believed that I was not progressing & that is not true thank you for getting me here.......
I just had double depression surgery an a bulging disc removed I've tried these exercises an found they helped me so much that I will continue every day
Thank you for this exercise session, it was just what I needed, I am having problems with my knees and it really helped even though it was my first time doing them, I will be doing these exercises daily
Mike is the only trainer who doesn't make me get down on the floor for every exercise. Thanks.
I’m 77 and have been doing your leg exercises, if not everyday, at least every other day. Thanks for your video.
This, for 83 year old senior, beginning again to walk, is perfect, and, best “for seniors” I’ve known since 1988, when I, myself, was teaching in retirement homes. Thank You very much.

I’m 76 and go to a senior’s fitness class, run by the City of Toronto, twice a week. It’s called Gentle Fit, but believe me it’s far from ‘gentle’! We do 30 mins of aerobics then a lot of the chair exercises shown here. We use weights, bands and balls. People even come with their walkers and do variations of the exercises, even in the depths of our Canadian winters which can be a challenge!!
Amazing to hear Angela. Great work! Although I have never experienced anything like a Canadian winter, I can imagine how tough getting out to exercise would be! Keep it all up! 🙂
Angela Rickett this sounds a lot like the Silver Sneaker class I go to. I think I’ll use this channel for when I can’t make it to my class.

Recovering from recent covid so really appreciated this slower strength leg workout!
Love this leg strengthening workout. Started last August to help my knee problems, and found it also eases my sciatica (herniated L4/5) disc! Thank you.
You're welcome Zena. Glad you have found the workout helpful!
I am in an independant living facility, Grande Avenue Village, in Cochrane, Alberta
Our recreation director, Jessica leads us with some of these exercise moves usually 5 times a week. Occasionally, she's not available due to family obligations, and then she provides these exercises by video i our exercise room.
Thank you, Mike!
I really enjoy your videos and the exercices !
You're an excellent instructor !
Had a total replacement revision on my right knee 6 months ago and waiting for the total replacement on my left knee in october.
We are now confined because of this Coronavirus an your videos really help me keeping up with the physiotherapy at home.
Squats are still difficult with my stiff knees. One day at a time...
Still a lot of work to get back in shape !
Thanks again for your help !
Great job Rama-Anna and thank you! You will get there! Like you said one day at a time, and you're doing great!!

very very useful exercises for seniors citizens. we have legs pain and no standing more time

Thank you. Lower back stretching is easier whilst standing.
I just had double depression surgery an a bulging disc removed I've tried these exercises an found they helped me so much that I will continue every day
Your exercises are well adapted for seniors, thank you.
Thank you for this exercise session, it was just what I needed, I am having problems with my knees and it really helped even though it was my first time doing them, I will be doing these exercises daily
