Thank you so much! I recently had surgery to repair ventral hernia and also bariatric surgery. I was concerned about flabby skin around core and also wanted to do everything I could to strengthen abdominal muscles so hernia repair was successful. I showed this to my surgeon and he approved it. I have found it has done wonders. Thank you again. Looking forward to your other videos.
Thank you for getting my tips checked by your healthcare provider - I'm pleased they are suitable and beneficial for you, wishing you all the best in your continued recovery journey :)
The best physio channel for any age group. Older people who have never incorporated exercise, etc into their lifestyle will benefit greatly and safely from your videos. Many younger people can also improve posture, mobility, balance and strength with your great content. Loving your videos and 3 tip Friday, thank you Will.
After a spinal fusion, rods, screws, and all, I was told not to twist or bend too much. Besides planks, I don't see much out there for core strength that doesn't include that. This was so helpful, thank you!
Another great video. I love how you combine enough explanation without getting too deep into the science with the reason for your advice. I am now off to buy your book.
@@rosalynbrown1613 I have a bad back. I can't do planks for more than two weeks without my back to start hurting permanently. It's not that I can't do planks, or that I have a weak back (in fact, I had quite a strong back already as a child) , it's just a few compressed disks in my lower back that makes planks inappropriate for me.
I'm 68 myself. I suffered a stroke in 2020 and I have some serious balance issues. I agree, this guy has great videos. He's my new go-to online PT. --Cindi
All those years in the gym and I've never been introduced to this exercise. Looking forward to adding it to my regular routine and seeing my core strength improve. (And who knew what a clever artist Will is on top of his other amazing qualities? 😀) Thank you so much, Will! I'm definitely going to share this video.
I hope some of my other talents are stronger than my artistic ones! I'm glad my video was able to introduce something new and I hope it proves beneficial :)
I started doing this then added to it. So, with the band on the right side I push my arms forward, like he shows, then turn at the waist to my left. Great exercise
Luv, luv, luv your channel! Clear and concise, your exercises are simple and affective. Having Costochondritis, makes crunches, and other exercises out of the question for me. It seems that you consistently, seek out and share the most affective and least complicated exercises. Thank you. And, you’re adorable.
Tk you very much. I have seen people doing this in the gym, so now I understand and will start doing it myself. Tk you again. You are a great pedagogue
Excellent exercise, thanks mate! I love your videos. I'm 51 and do reformer pilates which helps me a lot. But your exercises are great for active recovery in between those workouts. ❤
Another great video! Thanks Will. Its so helpful to to get these tips - I've learned so much being a subscriber and following you. I also am really enjoying your 3 tip Friday email. You have made such positive impact on my life and I am very grateful to you for all the work you put into your videos and your newsletter. Aloha!
Thank you so much for subscribing and watching, I'm so pleased my videos and emails have been able to offer interesting new information! It's fantastic to hear what an impact my work has had, that really makes it all worth it! Wishing you all the best 😄
I love how you explain its ab anti-rotation motion, by demonstrating the torso, shoulder and arm twist that WOULD HAVE happened if you never engaged the core muscles at all. As a child, I was all about copying my older brother's arm and shoulder strength as he taught me baseball, football stuff, then bt age 9, tennis and swimming. I realized by my 30"s that I was prone to overuse injuries in shoulder. Also, my swimming days were mostly pulling with arms and shoulders, not enough kick or core. We were string bean skinny in our family, so it worked for children. At 73, I've discovered how I need remedial core training to maintain balance and avoid falls. You are a lifesaver, Will!
Will.Thankyou for this drill..I have been searching for an exercise for strengthening the core that would also be safe for my scoliosis condition..I will try this out..
After a frontal nephrectomy many years ago I have not been able to do sit-ups because of loss of muscle on my right side so this will be a fantastic exercise for me. Thanks so much.
Wow😯This is first time that I’ve understood a standing abdominal exercise. Before this video, I thought I had to always lay down to work abdominals. Your explanation was excellent❤I love it. I just hit subscribe!
Excellent exercise. My PT here in New York taught me a permutation as well. Same starting position but you thrust your hands vertically up, almost like an overhead press. So your core works against being tipped over. Also works well.
Gosh, Will, i needed this so badly! I happen to have a couple of bands...even a red one! Along with the exercises I've been given from the PT's, this will help so much! It's so much easier than any of the core exercises I've seen. Thank you so much! I'm off to practice! ❤❤
I'm so pleased my video came at the right time! And I'm pleased you have the bands ready to get started. I hope this move proves beneficial for you - wishing you all the very best :)
Wow. , Thanks for all your advice Will. You have a great way of explaining things. I Have had on going problems with my lower back. and my right shoulder, and will be doing some of you recently seen . 3 most important exercises, as well as this one. ITs all starting to make SO MUCH Sense to me now. Thanks again.
I had a stroke of the brain stem three years ago so no exercises involving the neck. This just might be what I’ve been looking for to get my abdomen back in shape. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yet another great exercise. for us in the older generation ,well worth taking and doing all of Wills exercises will benefit us all so much , I am doing them all as I want to keep fit and active.
Hope you pick up this request. I suffer from what is sometimes termed “a shin splint”. Pain between knee and ankle. Are there any exercises to make this discomfort go away.
Love your videos. I know a lot of over 50 including myself like to do our workouts in the pool. Could you do some videos showing what we can do in pool or add some suggestions how to adapt some exercises for pool use.
I've never heard of this exercise before. What I really like about it is I can exercise my core without having to lie down. This is especially important since I like exercising at work during lunch.
My physio adds an extra step, where the arms are at full extension, I twist my upper body (waist fixed in space) and turn my upper body away from the bands fixed location.
Would this be a suitable for a 9 year old? My granddaughter is weak on her left side and has little core strength due to cerebral palsy. It might be a great exercise to do together. Thank you for presenting stretches and exercises in a way that not only makes sense, but is also motivating.
Great content as always, when I do this movement I am feeling much more in arms and not so much core. Perhaps you can offer something I can look at why this is so?
I don't have anything at home to attach the band to my side. I tried to create a kind of Isometric version, where I held the band doubled with both hands shoulder width in front of then pulling back on one side like an archery elbow back pull, but resisting a torso twist tightening my core, then from the other side each time not letting my torso twist to the pulling side.
Not 50 yet but am not in good health and there aren't many excercises I am allowed to do. Will check with my fysio but this looks like just the ticket for my core! Really been enjoying your videos's and been training my ankle dorsiflex. Thanks so much for the clear explanation, great to understand which muscles are important for what so I can get older as healthy and strong as possible.
Thank you for checking with your physio before starting any new exercises - so pleased you're enjoying my videos and that you've found them helpful - I hope they can help to keep you as healthy as possible!
Considering the fact that a specially designed gym machine where you twist in the waist left and right would do nothing but harm to your spine this is a nice alternative.
Thank you for purchasing my book, I hope you find it packed full of interesting content - I'm pleased my work is able to help those who I am not able to see in person :)
I discovered your channel a few months ago. I am 75. I have loved so many of your exercises and they do help. However, I just don't see how I could possibly do all of the exercises I need to do 3 times a day. Knees, blood pressure, lower back, core, glutes, etc. What's the best way to manage the execution of all these movements?
You don't need to do any exercise three times a day! Once is enough. Every exercise twice a week. And you can rotate. Some Mondays and Wednesdays, some Tuesdays and Thursdays. And you're done

Just for that I'm not subscribing. He's not the only one. You've not done your research thoroughly
@@AHTOtv Awee sorry you feel that way . Have a nice day !
I liked your analogy of core body strength as an anchor, which is very true.
Absolutely!
I’m in physical therapy for my lower back and this is one of the exercises I was recently shown to improve my core strength. Love it!
Im 70 yrs old with a weak core I'm gonna give it a go for 6 weeks and see what happens. Thanks for the insight.
Dear Will, you are the best physio i have ever seen. Thank you very much.

What a great explanation of how the core works and why we need to keep it strong. I really enjoy your videos and your book. Thank you Will.
Thank you so much for supporting my work, I'm so pleased you've enjoyed it - wishing you all the best :)
I just found you and I've just ordered your book on Amazon. This is exactly what I need. Thank you.

I really need to try this exercise for my core ,crunches I can't do due to my back .thank you very much .
Very happy to help!
Glad to see something that doesn't require sit ups which tends to slip my back out. Thanks ❤
Thank you Will. Terrific analogy as always. Will give it a go. All your videos are superb. Can’t thank you enough.
I can't describe my relief that your recommendation wasn't planks!
I'm 65 and I like planks.
Hahaha I thought the same thing
I thought so too

Great stuff. Very similar to what I did in physical therapy after hernia surgery. Thanks so much. Subscribed.
Thank you very much for this simple but most effective way of working the core 🙏
Very happy to share my work!

Smart
I have my moments :)
But he kept saying the exercise is anti-rotational, so to twist would seem to miss the point. I wish he would answer this.
@@missmayflower twisting to the opposite side that is
Thanks, I was looking for a core exercise for seniors.
I'm pleased my video came at the right time for you!
I’m in my 30s but I love your videos. You provide a lot of explanation and information. 👏
Great reasoning; you will be +50 one day
Thank you for watching!
Great easy simple workout, thanks. Be doing it at home anytime.
Great to hear!
Loved the book and all you do. Much appreciated.
Luv, luv, luv your channel!

I was a physical therapists assistant for 16 years in the USA and I never encountered the Pallof Press! Let me end this comment so I can try it.
Will.Thankyou for this drill..I have been searching for an exercise for strengthening the core that would also be safe for my scoliosis condition..I will try this out..
You're very welcome - I hope it proves helpful for you!
Thanks Will I have been doing this one since you posted it. It has really helped, in general and for my hobby, Scottish Country Dance.
After a frontal nephrectomy many years ago I have not been able to do sit-ups because of loss of muscle on my right side so this will be a fantastic exercise for me. Thanks so much.
Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you gor another great video. Short but incredibly useful. Honestly, thank you 🌞
So glad it was helpful!

Thanks so much, Will. I recall doing something similar to this when in PT some years ago, so this is a great REMINDER! Cheers!
So pleased my video was able to bring this exercise back to your attention!
thank you so much! Perfect “no twist” core exercise I need right now 😊
I really like this exercise Will, it makes a lot of sense. I'll give it a go. Thanks !
Wishing you all the best :)
Excellent exercise. My PT here in New York taught me a permutation as well. Same starting position but you thrust your hands vertically up, almost like an overhead press. So your core works against being tipped over. Also works well.
Great video with proper explanations.
Though looks simple but very powerful.
I will include in my daily routine Will.
Great to hear you'll be putting this to good use!
Gosh, Will, i needed this so badly! I happen to have a couple of bands...even a red one!
Along with the exercises I've been given from the PT's, this will help so much! It's so much easier than any of the core exercises I've seen.
Thank you so much! I'm off to practice! ❤❤
Yes, having a bunch of therabands is a sign of a bit too much familiarity with the PT department.
I'm 80 with a hip replacement, sepsis and bacterial meningitis, so I need a LOT! LOL😂
Will has been a great help!
I'm so pleased my video came at the right time! And I'm pleased you have the bands ready to get started. I hope this move proves beneficial for you - wishing you all the very best :)

Trying to figure how how to do this in my home setup without running out and buying more stuff... Thanks for all your videos. Very motivating.
Thank you ,this is credible,will try this to train my core without lying down.👍👍👏🏻👏🏻❤️
I hope it proves beneficial for you!
I had a stroke of the brain stem three years ago so no exercises involving the neck. This just might be what I’ve been looking for to get my abdomen back in shape. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I'm sorry to hear about the stroke you experienced - I hope my video proves beneficial for what you're looking for!
Have bands and door handle, will definitely try this one. Tx Will!!
Wishing you all the best!
Anti-rotation movement; new vocabulary for me. Thank you for your explanations.😅👏💐
Very happy to help!
Yet another great exercise. for us in the older generation ,well worth taking and doing all of Wills exercises will benefit us all so much , I am doing them all as I want to keep fit and active.
Keep up the great work! Wishing you all the best :)
So much explanations! Did not see what I have to do.
QUESTION: Do every day or every third day (48 hrs off between)?
Hope you pick up this request. I suffer from what is sometimes termed “a shin splint”. Pain between knee and ankle. Are there any exercises to make this discomfort go away.
Oh you're right, who knew ageing equalled having your lower back feel like a door hinge due to pure overuse to do friggin anything worth doing!❤
Amazing! How simple is that?! Thank you.
A safer variation of an exercise I was taught at the gym. Perfect! Thank you!
So pleased I was able to offer a safer alternative :)
Love your videos. I know a lot of over 50 including myself like to do our workouts in the pool. Could you do some videos showing what we can do in pool or add some suggestions how to adapt some exercises for pool use.
Thanks @HT-Physio. Should we change sides during this exercise?
Yes, you turn around and work on the other side.
Thank you Will, this is perfect! I have my band set up and will be doing this on the daily.
Great to hear!
I've never heard of this exercise before. What I really like about it is I can exercise my core without having to lie down. This is especially important since I like exercising at work during lunch.
Great to hear you'll be able to put this to good use during your lunch breaks!
I'm 55 and I cycle about 4 to 6 hours every week. Is cycling enough to strengthen my core or do I also need to do what you described here?
You are so generous. Respect!
My physio adds an extra step, where the arms are at full extension, I twist my upper body (waist fixed in space) and turn my upper body away from the bands fixed location.

Is there a way to modify this that is not so hard on the hands?
Wow, that’s a great exercise. Thank you
Another great simple exercise, thank you Will!
My pleasure!
Not heard this exercise. Thank you.
What a great movement. Is it OK do do this if you have a QL strain? Thanks for the video!
Interesting exercise. I’m going to try it and add it to my routine! Thanks!
You're so welcome!
Great usefull videos, thanks a lot !
Happy to help!
Thank you very much. This exercise was much needed.
Pleased it came at the right time!
It would be great to see this demonstrated on a cable machine to be sure to do it correctly
J'y!
I'm definitly going to try.
All other abdominale exercices heurtés.
Thak you for sharing.
Thank you very much.
You're very welcome!
Big fan of this exercise.
Is there a specific stage during the press for exhale?
Yes! Thank you again Will!
My pleasure!
great reminder. thanks.
Happy to help!
I know its not relevant to this video, but when i walk, my right foot tends to roll under, is there an exercise to correct it?
This exercise is a really good one. Thanks Will.
Great to hear it!
Great move and exercise. But you should probably show where to anchor the band on something that everybody would have in their home.
Considering the fact that a specially designed gym machine where you twist in the waist left and right would do nothing but harm to your spine this is a nice alternative.
Pleased I can provide a safer alternative!
Thanks. Very useful tips.
Happy to help!
If I go to England, I'll try to know you, Will Harlow, and to give you a gifit from my country.
Thank you!
I have just bought your book as I found your videos very informative. If only you were closer to Portishead in Nortj Somerset 😅
Agree, wish he was in my city
Thank you for purchasing my book, I hope you find it packed full of interesting content - I'm pleased my work is able to help those who I am not able to see in person :)
Could you please suggest good band for this. From India. Thanks.
Thankyou. I need to have a go. I do have a weak core. Infact a weak everything 😊. Plus it seems simple enough to do 🤞
I hope it proves beneficial for you!

Very pertinent information! Thank you Will😊
Happy to be of help!
