    Pushing 74 with arthritis, feeling sorry for myself, thinking my productive life is over--thank you for this. I'm getting stronger, more limber and no longer wallowing in self pity. I am grateful. I just got a new job--something I was afraid of, because I thought my body would fail me. There's still life to live. :)

    I’m 57 and have had 24 surgeries in my life. A spinal fusion, neck fusion, new hip, new knee, and more. I’ve struggled being post menopause with low motivation and weight gain. I know I need to strength training, but have had this stubborn BLOCK of doing it. YOU changed that today! I did my first workout with NO pain, and can easily commit to 2x per week. Thank you so much, something clicked, and it was YOU!!!!!❤

    Big HUG AND THANKS!! I am 59, 122lbs. and WAS-skinny fat and always terrible at keeping up routines. Found you in March and liked that your workout was 2 days instead of a usual 3day commitment. I thought, I can at least do THAT! I was so weak at first and 3lbs weights for skull crushers made my arms quiver like crazy. I was embarrassed for myself, but stuck with it and found so much excitement to see how each workout I was gaining strength and could feel the muscles in my arms. I was inspired by my progress so much that I started watching deadlift videos and today lifted 85 lbs, squatted 60 and overhead pressed 37. YOU lit the spark in me to pick up weights after trying lots of other things and it has truly changed my life, AND at a really important time for health. So, although I'm not the first and won't be last - ya still need to hear what an impact this one video has made!!! All the best!

She is fit and eats well but i think this video will help her along that wall thats preventing her from her goals and losing the rest of her tummy weight. She wants some body shape as well, i keep telling the only way is with some weight training.

Also, I am stretching a lot more because it helps me with recovery. I want to emphasize the need for a strong core as it helps with all three disciplines, swimming, cycling and running. Well done!

      Sorry, i think on the one hand it's great you're encouraging older ladies to do resistance work, but most women of this age have or are at risk of having pelvic floor issues and heavy squats, deadlifts and bent over rows will exacerbate. Core needs to be strong before attempting most of this in my opinion. And modify to single arm, single leg work

      Gaye Adams I lifted weights for many years in my 20’ s and 30’s, but marriage and a child came along and took precedence. Now that I am facing my spine issues, I know I have to get back to it. I have always loved weights and now I can use the knowledge I have gained long ago to help me do the best that I can at age 62. Gone are the days when I can bench 85+ pounds, but I do believe muscle memory is still there. There are a lot of techniques one can use to make lighter weights seems heavier and they really do work!

      Is there much difference between 48 and 51? I am about to turn 48. I’ve always been an athlete an avid runner and worked out but 47 was the year that I felt like my bones were 80 years old. I felt a significant difference from when I was 44.

      One thing that I can share is that as I age I can’t get away with wearing the wrong shoes or incorrect form in my running. I’m 61 now and in my late 40’s corrected those two things and only then was I able to run 12 more half marathons and one full marathon in my fifties. My mindset had to switch from being first to taking better care of my body. Good luck! 🍀

    I used to lift and loved it… but work and life got in my way. Now, starting back a few months ago, and excited to try this routine.
    I walk at 5:30Am to beat the heat and just increased 2000 steps this month to 15k steps, feeling great. I live over an hour from a gym so I’m thrilled to see this the I can do with dumbbells at home. I will be buying heavier set soon, I hope!

Her '15 Minute Stretch' is where I always start unless I've done some Tai Chi beforehand. I usually do a 3rd also strength, or a 'target' video for abs, upper body or lower, alternating days, alternating videos.

However, I did have to drop to 5lbs for shoulder press; and triceps. Just barely able to finish on first set; so I reduced which is still hard to finish on the 3rd set. My plan is to fit an aerobic session between now and Saturday. I’m eating better; but still not as well as I did before. Next WT day is Saturday.
