Thank you so much for your sitting exercise videos. Your exercises are well-timed, easy to follow and helps to build confidence. My brother-in-law (81) was very sick with dementia and limited mobility. We really wanted to help him build his strength because he was so sedentary. We started with your 11 minute seated stretches for each area of the body then eventually added your seated leg strengthening. We did your routines together religiously daily and saw improvement in his flexibility. Sadly he passed last night. I want you to know that he looked forward to your videos. Even with his limited movement, he was so focused and tried his best to follow your instructions from beginning to end. It perked and warned him up. Thank you for blessing the beginning of his days and providing us something so fun and vital to do together every single day. We are so grateful and wish you continued success.
Hi Cindy. I am sorry to hear about your brother in law. It is nice to hear that he found the exercise videos beneficial. Thank you for your kind words. Sending strength to you and your family.
Appreciate no time wasted talking before or between exercises and you do the whole set in real time so can follow along. Thanks.
You're welcome Gail!
Thank you for a great stretch video. No wasted time, just some incredible stretching.
Hello from Birmingham in United Kingdom. I just found this channel today. I enjoyed the seated core workout and then did this stretching routine. I found it relaxing and enjoyable.
I have subscribed to your channel.
I am 63 and learning to live exercise.
❤ EXCELLENT THANK YOU FOR TEACHING US HOW TO STRETCH ❤❤❤❤❤
Just seen my comment from one year ago. Hard to believe it's that long since I first discovered this. Having moved house I let my practice slide. I've been stiffening up, promising myself I'd get back to a regular exercise regime but somehow not managing to do it. Today I started with these stretches. Wonderful. I feel so much better already. So pleased I've made a start. Thank you so much for posting these videos. It's like coming home to an old friend.
Great to hear Monda and thank you for sharing! and you're very welcome with it all! :) Keep up your great efforts and I look forward to hearing how you progress.
I am now exercising with Mike on a regular (almost daily) basis. It is great. I have a UA-cam playlist set up for each day of the week, a different playlist of two or three videos each day. Love it!!! Mike: You are awesome!!!
Started 3 months ago every day. I vary the exercises daily on a weekly turnaround. Feeling much better and hopefully with time will become more mobile.
I am awaiting my second TKR and am recovering from a torn meniscus. Your seated stretches are great for me. I do them every morning after the warm up and do the evening routine before bed. Thank you very much.
Yes I 💕 love these stretching exercises!
Love it! You’re heaven sent for us seniors! Thanks so much for all your work!
You are so welcome Clarrie, keep up the good work with your exercises! 🙂
Not a senior, but have been very sedentary - these are a great way to get back into moving my body! Thank you!
Great way to begin the day!
Hello from Canada, Even though it feels like minus 20 C outside, these stretching exercises help me feel more flexible and relaxed. Thanks for another great routine, Mike.
Hey Lynda, you're very welcome! Hope all is well over there in Canada!
I hope you enjoy this new seated stretch video. Let me know down below if you gave it a go, I read all comments (and try to get back to as many as I can). More exercise videos to come this week, Including a great FULL workout Routine. 🥳 See you again soon and remember to subscribe to the channel - Mike
I always do
Looking forward to new video.
Just beginning....I am 84 years old and I am trying to be more agile. I did your warm up exercises and now the stretching exercises. Hoping to eventually go to the next stage. Thanks for your help.

You're welcome Matt! 🙂
Hi, Im a female, 60, in Ottawa. I just decided to start a stretching routine and got hooked to this video. Its so easy to follow, fun to do and no time wasted. I actually look forward to doing it. Thank you so much. Ill be browsing through your videos trying to develop a strength training/stretching routine for myself. Do let me know if you have some advice for me.
Thank you. ♥️🙏♥️
You are always welcome Jerri :)
Thanks!
Hello from Israel!
Thanks for this excellent workout, Mike!☺🙏
Nice easy stretch, thanks
Thank you. Charlie in Syracuse NY
I really love this short whole body stretching video. The instructions given during each stretch are so important to make sure our form is correct. I am an elderly woman and am using this in conjunction with a short stationery bike exercise and after a long period of no exercise, I have had no injuries. Looking forward to trying your other videos as well as increasing some cardiovascular moderate exercise.
‘You’re the best!
Thank u so much I am still wking in a restaurant...chopping veggies ..so that stretch help a lot...Veronica Canada
Hey Veronica. You're welcome. Hope all is going well!
Thank you.
Hi Mike, You were recommended by my Chiropractor for back pain. I have enjoyed the videos for back pain but also for Seniors. I'm 76 and doing your exercises have been helpful. I've only done them for a week but I'm going to keep going to keep me going. I've tried a few of them and they get me going. Thank you.
Thank you! I needed this today and to remond myself to not over do.
THANK YOU🌻
Used this for the first time yesterday after Seated Zumba with my residents. They liked it. Can't wait to try some of your others!
THANK YOU!!!!!
Hello Mike you are doing a fantastic job with these exercise videos. I work at a senior home and we watch your videos 5 days a week. The group absolutely loves the fully seated exercises! If you have more of those on the way we will most certainly watch them!
Hey Kyra. Thank you! So happy to hear the group loves the exercises! :) P.S. Plenty more exercises to come!
This is an excellent place for me to start! I am in my 60's and have always enjoyed working out. Unfortunately with the pandemic and other life issues, I am starting over. Thank you!
You've got this Jayne - I look forward to starting with you :D Keep me updated on your progress.
Mike, you did it again! Combining known moves into a refreshing package. I always start my day with your AM stretch routine. Today I started with this one and came away feeling even more supple and ready for the day ahead. Your one new move--stretching the calf while seated--was great and even more effective than the slightly more difficult and demanding standing ones. Your plants look healthy and happy using the same magic touch you add to our well being. THANK YOU!
Thank you Anastasia, I appreciate that! Keep it up!
Have just started using your videos and love them. Only possible addition could be hydration reminders. Really finding these terrific, especially for reconditioning after some health issues. thank you!
Love these...so great for seniors and perfect for me with Fibromyalgia... gentle enough for me to do and still get movement even on my really tough days. 🙏💜
Love this

Great session
Thank you so much for this. I am a female in my 60s. I used to be very active, but because of a knee injury I haven’t been exercising. I have lost so much strength and flexibility. This routine gives me hope that I can eventually regain some of what I have lost.
Me, too, Donna! I'm only 56, but I've lost so much, and here I've found hope.
Soo good.
Great strechtes Mike! Thanks! Looking forward to you FULL ones!

Hi Mike that was brilliant for the morning before excise...Thanks Veronica Canada
Hey Veronica. Glad you liked the new stretches!
Thanks Mike. After what I think was an arthritis flare up in my left knee ? from the cold weather, these stretches were good for me to test my knees. Very little pain, so Panadol Osteo is helping maintain my muscle stretching.
Thank you Mike :)
