Great stuff. I`m 73. Started doing these simple exercises 15 months ago, five times a week. Huge difference in flexibility and energy level. Also, I do treadmill 5X week. My hamstrings were very very tight, now I can lift my leg past 90 degrees. My hip muscles are now flexible. My walking stride is wider. If you`re feeling your age and have low energy.....you MUST make a change. I feel 45 now.
@@malcolmwright914 Excellent Malcolm! You are the type of person we would love to join our Facebook group to help keep all of us motivated and hopeful! facebook.com/groups/livewell50. Hope to see you on the inside!
Great, I’m 74 & do 6 aqua classes a week, 2 swim fit, 2 yoga & 1 session on the toning chairs. Also lost over 7 stone (100 lbs) Have managed to avoid a hip replacement for almost 6 years now because of these activities. Gives me a great social life too.
I’m 83, about four or five years ago I just sat down and quit moving. I was always very active, and when I was 54 I started long-distance bicycle riding with my grown daughters. When I was 58, a friend and I rode bicycles across the USA 3600 miles. I was in very good shape. Now I find myself barely able to shuffle out the door to my car. I was depressed and thought well I’ll just sit here and die. Well, when you’ve been extremely healthy and active you don’t die right away, it’s a long process. Now I am going to try to gain lost ground. I just bought a walker with a seat so I can walk, sit down, and walk again. My goal is to walk to the end of my street and back, which is about 3/4 of a mile. I will also incorporate these exercises, as my physical therapist already gave me a couple of them to do. Who knows, maybe I’ll walk across America. On our bike ride across the USA we met an older man in Montana who was doing just that. (The Pacing Parson - UA-cam)
Its a wake up call, Like you i led an active life now as a 73 year old i suffer the aches and pains of getting older, I did retire to Thailand and was very fit, now returning to the UK i find i am becoming a couch potato, your words are indeed a wake up call, thank you, Cheshire UK
What I like about your videos are that I can hear you clearly and you speak clearly. I'm 72 and have been having trouble hearing the last year or so. Plus your videos seem helpful, so thank you.
I'm uh, 28. And after doing those 5 exercises, i'm realizing i'm still out of breath five minutes later. I knew I was out of shape, i was aware of my sedentary lifestyle, but maan the difficulty in doing just basic movements really drove it home for me. I really need to change my life. And my daily habits. I hope anyone reading this regardless of age will take to heart how important it is to exercise consistently, and especially to seek out ways to be healthier. I know my future self will thank me for exercising as soon as possible as consistently as possible, the same way I know I'll be kicking myself down the line if I make excuses to never get around to it.
Thank you so much for your videos. I am a female retired nurse, 83 years old, active and never smoke nor drink.I am 5 feet 2 and weigh 129 lbs. I love dancing, yoga and zumba. Just few days ago, i have a lower right back pain. I went to chiropractor and massage therapist. Still I have the pain in the right lower back. I am following your exercises and hope i will better. I just found you website tonight and thank you that I saw you videos. USA follower. God Bless you and your wife.
Thank you for posting this. My husband is receiving from two severe head injuries. His rehab support has been suspended and these posts are a life-line for his recovery and my sanity. BTW I can't understand why there have been 727 thumbs down on this site.. ? Let us not say/do anything if we haven't got something nice or helpful to say.

Hello Ed and Elizabeth, Thank you for the 5 important exercises for 60 yrs. I’ve so of out at home for years. For the first time I injured the ligament under my scapula.. air was from doing weights with my arm over my head… The pain was so severe & I could not move my right arm the pain brought me to tears.. I knew I would not take pain meds. I found movements for under the scapula which I did 7!times a day. I went thru the aweful pain and screamed as I continued.. After 2 days I was pain free.. UNBELIEVABLE.. I. Believed that was the safest way.. I truly am grateful for all you do!! With Respect
You are a blessing! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. I am 76 yrs old and I haven’t exercised for 5 months. I feel my muscles loosing flexibility and strength. Thank you again for getting me going!

Thank you ! I have always loved being still. At 67, I feel groggy when I lie or sit . I had to force myself to do these 5 mins and it made a difference, more focused, less anxiety.

I am 70 and Life lesson to me was realizing that I should’ve started doing stocks in my 20s-30s instead I was living life with no real reason. Now I am older and the stock thing is looking too complicated to even start.. have about 550k to put in but its so confusing.
Yes, a good number of folks are raking in huge 6 figure gains in this downtrend, but such strategies are mostly successfully executed by folks with in depth market knowledge
Very true. Despite having no prior investing knowledge, I started investing before the pandemic and pulled in a profit of approximately $950k that same year. In reality, all I was doing was getting professional advice.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and I am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?
We are both in our 80's and still believe in having a strong body and a calm mind. This was an excellent video and we learned a lot from you. We are doing research for our new YT channel that is all about healthy aging. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!

I'M REALLY IMPRESSED WITH the first exercise.....I didnt know to do that and felt much stronger even after doing it the first few days and will continue to. It keeps alot of strain off my lower back when i'm busy lifting and moving things. I luv it!!! (I had a low back injury and thought i'd never be able to live without the pain) that exercise was just what i needed!!!
I'm 53 & so happy to see these exercises explained... I'm not immobile & I'd like to stay this way waaaaay into my old age 😄💪🦵🏋️♀️🧎♀️💃🤸♀️🚴♀️🧘♀️ I'm currently unemployed & feel that I've lost a lot of muscle tone due to not being active (I love having jobs that keep me activly moving) & I'd like to start an exercise routine & this looks like it's perfect for me!! 😄💪🦵 Thank you, I'm so glad I found your videos! 🙋🏻♀️👍

Your 60+ videos have completely changed my attitude toward regular exercise. I can actually do them! Thanks for creating a program for those of us with limited mobility. I appreciate all the options you give, too, and how to add more challenge to an exercise once it becomes too easy.

Great! We should never stop moving and exercising. Most of my life I have been very flexible and active. For the past 10 years, my work has had me sitting down for long hours. I was becoming stiffer and achy. I am 67, so I partially retire and joined joined a gym and added walking when not going to the gym. What a difference! I feel like I am as flexible and strong as my old 30 years old self. At my age, sitting on the floor and getting up without support and using your hands is the best sign of longevity for a person. I have no problem at all doing that and more. Your teaching is highly appreciated by us old folks.
I am 56 years old and have been working as a CNA for 30 years, I have horrible sciatica and can barely put socks and shoes on my right leg and foot. I am very debilitated, yet I must continue to work. I am trying to do the best I can to keep my body mobile.
I'm over 60 and I did an hour HIIT workout today. I've consistently done walking and body weight calisthenics since Jan 1. I workout almost every day. I definitely get over 4k steps every day but some days, if I'm sore because I blasted a weight session or HIIT session then I do a 15 minute stretching workout once I reach my step goal. I'm ok with 4k steps but now I'm usually over 6500. Flexibility and strength are more important to me than 8k-10k steps. So this is good advice!😊
I’m thankful to you Hazebrown27..many times people forget that, I forget that I’m 62. I went through Columbia College dance school in Chicago. I also had classes at International dance studio. But I’m out of whack now. Hey can’t even jump rope one time!! That’s insane.

I’ve let myself go after having aortic aneurysm surgery two years ago………the surgeon saved my life (literally!) and now I’m throwing it down the toilet….I needed to find somewhere to start and this is it. I’m 65 and have been active all of my life (17 years military, amateur boxer, rugby player) so it s depressing to see how I have fallen.
Some solid information here. Exercise 1 is gold. Just had 8 months of physio to correct this issue (I’m 62). Treat yourself to an exercise band and save £££!
Absolutely fab. I longwalk, up to 10 kms every few days. Bike about 30kms every few days. Yoga too. I’m a 74 years female, and I really like your take on exercise. Thank you.
You can drop your shoulders back and hold onto a door frame with both hands and lean in slightly to for the scapular retractions it opens the chest out. So I’ve been told. I do this so I don’t need bands and have more stability.
Omg! Thank you so much! These exercises have improved my posture and restored strength and agility in my daily movements. I've been doing these for the past 3 months. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thank v much. 63 here my back is in constance pain. Never really kept going with core exercises before. So now I'm paying the price. With the help of these exercises to strengthen the core muscles. Sitting a big help. I am the only one that can do this for me Tnx again Ed.
Thank you so much Ed. At 71 still working in healthcare and need to keep up my strength, flexibility and balance. Some exercises on internet are made up by just anybody so they can make $ on new and different exercises. However, there is a lack of proper body alignment so they can do harm. You are a PT so want to keep people safe. I severed super spinatus 15 years ago and was thinking I need to strenghen my rotator cuff SAFELY, so am very happy to stumble upon your video and the grapevine is over the top good because it should help us old folks to recover from a stumble. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I will do each one.
if your over sixty, start with a walk /cycle, cycle for 10 to 15 mins,then walk for 10 to 15 mins,workout a route,which lasts for about an hour, your basically jumping on and off the bike until you finish the route. it never gets boring,and gets you very fit,fantastic for the lockdown.
I am a male 71, I found these suggestions practical for the truly new to a fitness regime, fortunately for me I started getting ready for old age over 50 years ago and approached it not unlike saving for a quality retirement. still do weights 45 mins to an hour 4 days a week, yoga and meditation every day and HIIT groundwork training on rugged terrain once or twice a week also alpine ski in winter kayak in summer regularly. I did not always make the best choices in life however the commitment to fitness that I never faltered on through good times and bad has paid huge dividends in the past ten years of retirement...for me these truly are as the old adage goes my "golden years". Each day I feel blessed at how well my body works at this I age,I live without limitations and I try to get young people to buy in so that they might experience the same later in their lives. We have a daughter who competes in the Iron Man events, so a win there...God bless all. it is never too late to improve!
Congratulations on doing all of your own yard work, that's great! I hope your sciatica calms down soon, if not you can try these exercises ua-cam.com/video/yhuvRIkq0IA/v-deo.html Good luck!
Thank you so much,. I'm 65 years young and decided to subscribe, very refreshing to see you get right into the video without all kinds of " sales talk", ( as I refer to it ). Lol. Blessings!
@Wul Vel ..... I'm not " afraid " to refer to my age as " older", I was referring to being young in spirit and in Heart ... Which is one of the keys to not " feeling old ". Thank you,.....; I see you changed your name on your comment.
Great advice and exercises, for me at my age of 82, I'm struggling a bit with my balance with the steps a little, but I'm sure that once I get into a rhythm it will improve. My biggest problem is getting up off my back at the moment, 😅 so I hope as I go along that will improve.
I do whatever I feel like everyday free on youtube , yoga I follow many instructors , Kukuwa, aerobic walking, dancing, qi gong, yi jin jing, all great for seniors. Pool aerobics the best water for seniors. And stretching which yoga covers but if you don’t like yoga, just do a stretching routine. So much free great instruction no excuse not to exercise even if you don’t own a pool .It makes you feel great.
I love this. As I've got older (64 soon) I need to slow it down a little as I've got advanced osteoarthritis. My right side is not what it was, especially my right knee. The pain is unbearable. Thank you soooooo much for this steady exercise regime. The morning stretches are also brilliant for my back. It's so so nice that you're not demanding money unlike 'most' of the nasty trainers. Thank you so much. 🤬

Excellent, and I might add what my great personal trainer told me: "When doing squats or sit-ups, always hold in/tighten your abdominal muscles. This strengthens your back as you do the exercises.."

Extremely good exercise and easy to do. Additionally, I lie down on my bed sideways and lift my legs up against a wall for 10 minutes. I try to remember to do that daily once or occasionally twice. Thank you.
Thank you for the video!! I am 64 and trying to walk daily and lift my hand weights and now I"ll have some exercises for my age! I want to have the best balance I can as I age!!

Maybe the best front row experience I've had since I attended the opening Broadway preview of Jersey Boys! Great job, Ed. We don't need hyperbolic "boot camps"-as you admirably demonstrated here, clarity and simplicity of direction will work just fine, just like a daily 30 minute walk. Thank you!

Love this!!! I’m a PTA who works in geriatrics. The scap retractions, sit to stands, and bridges are on my “everyone needs to do to stay out of a nursing home” list. I also add ankle dorsiflexion with the heel lifts (because people lose that as they age and it’s important for good floor clearance when walking) and single leg stands (to prevent shuffling gait patterns). I’m so happy to see this simple workout! I’m hitting the subscribe button!
Excellent Heather! We need more therapists like you in our profession. Since you work in a nursing home, here's a link to my osteoporosis playlist as many clinicians are not aware of the precautions ua-cam.com/video/BaJ7mGf2eys/v-deo.html Keep up the good work :)
That's very nice. It is elementary. I am over 80 years of age Practicing Qigong. I would suggest to my younger counterparts to investigate this. This daily exercise I have done for 1 1/2 years now. Big Smiles. CMJ Canada
Very good. Thank you. I am 72 with a sciatica compromised left leg! This will definitely be added to my 3 times a week routine. Until last year I was doing Greek circle dancing and can see its value. Hopefully, post virus that can start again. Many thanks - Murray
Thankyou Soo much ! EASY ! Pushing 70, Thankyou for caring. Will be starting out slow but this will work ! 5 and "good to go exercises". Thankyou for expanding exercises to other areas of the body too. Good health to you.
Grapevine is great! Of course, be careful. I also walk backward up a long hill - fortunately I live out in the country on a seldom traveled back road. Also for balance and stability, I love using a balance pad standing on one leg at a time. Balance pads are foam rubber about 3” thick and designed to destabilize you so your body learns to compensate. Not expensive and are really helpful and fun.
I'm 60 and obese , over the past year I have become quite stiff and walking down stairs became difficult, I thought it was my knees but by doing these exercises I realised it may not be the only problem standing on my toes is challenging especially on one foot, I will work on this, thank you for this video
A friend sent your video to me, and I appreciate it. These are exercises I can do in my small space. Your instructions and demonstrations are clear. Thank you. I will look for other videos by you that focus more on the core and balance as I a less confident walker than I was just five years ago. Thanks, again.
@@SuperSheila1965 Hi Sheila! Your knees are not terrible! They need some l o v e...;) Talk to your knees...massage them telling them they are wonderful and you love them! 🙂 Every organ in our body hears us. I talk to my thyroid every day while moisturizing my neck. And to my heart when some anxiety shows up. It's really calming & it works! Good luck! 🙂

I did it for starts today 5 reps each . Felt the weakness in my calves , specifically in the tip toe and squats ! Should get back after one month and report my progress ! Thx dear !
Thank you for a exercise programme for the elderly Found your exercises very helpful And really enjoyable With out all the sales gimmicks a pleasure to listen to
thank you for remembering us "seniors" And "elderly". We seem to get to a point in our lives where "body image" is not important any more. We are not trying to impress anyone else with our attractiveness. So we start with a little "slouching" and it's all downhill from there. If we would realize that overall health not just being "sexy", is what the real goal is here, we have a better chance of staying healthier and out of hospitals! Again, - Thank you!!😊
I am 63 both my knees are shot both hips going also both shoulders in much pain I was go kart racing two years ago ballroom dancer until 46 years old was an avid walker used stationary bike and now all this breaking down came on quickly cannot walk giving up any ideas?

Thank you for sharing your knowledge to help seniors. I’m very aware of my inflexibility and balance issues, and I’m willing to work hard to become stronger and more flexible.

I've just now realizing I NEED this. I've had 2 back surgeries,2Fusions..so many injections for me to count. I'm going to be 66 ay the end of May. I can't walk very far at all. When I do walk it's so painful I can't stand it. I'm so hunched over it's pitiful. Hope these can help me. Hope I've not waited too long to reverse this. Thank You for letting me vent!!!!
Yes, start off by doing a little bit of exercise every single day and also try to increase your steps just a little bit at a time. You got this, stay positive!
I'm 80 years old and spent many years working out in the gym for strengthening exercises and muscle building UNTIL I overdid it and developed tendinitis and bursitis in my shoulders. Not good!! As a result, I stopped doing everything except walking and some mild stretching of upper body. Still, I lost 10 lbs of muscle mass!! Now, even though I'm only 95 lbs. I want to continue with the type of exercises that you are offering in this fine video to gain more flexibility and strength especially in my shoulders.With osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, it's all a challenge to stay motivated but your instructions are clear and appropriate to what I need. Thank you for the help !
Thanks for your advice Ed. I wasn't looking for an exercise video but I am 66 and was attracted by your headline. Your presentation was excellent and instructions very clear and I have now adopted this into my regular exercise.
Thank you so much! I REALLY needed this information. Can't go to the gym because of WiFi. Needed something I can do in my tiny house. This is perfect! You probably just saved my life. I'm 68.
These look very sensible, and this couldn't be clearer. I'm 70 and work out at a gym, so I'm still pretty sure-footed and stabile. But at my age I can't expect this to continue to be the case for a whole lot longer, so I'll incorporate this into my routine -and not go down without a fight.
Love this thank you! Doing it in your kitchen makes it less intimidating for me! These are all manageable for me, and appreciate your explanation of how the muscle are getting worked. Sharing!

Hi I am 50. I have been in a wheelchair outside and almost bed rest for twelve years to undiagnosed damaged nerves around my pubic bone. I am now diagnosed and had a spinal cord stimulator fitted to help with the pain. Thank god it's transformed my life. I can know even walk for about ten minutes unaided. I want to start daily stretches (I tried excercises and failed it made my pain flare up too much). Would this video be the best stretch excercises for me to do daily please?
I'm trying successful aging. I'm a 62 year old male. This week I'm squatting 127 kg for 6 to depth. Backoffs 115 kg 4 sets of 8. Deadlifts 3 by 8 reps at 165 kg. Bench sets of 6 at 102.5. Just taking it easy because it's just in garage.
@@FrontRowwithEd Thanks. Im trying. Sick of always being sore is the only problem. My goal is a 250kg deadlift by 65 then to maintain close to that till 70 With squat i would be happy with 150 by 70. A lot harder.

Really helpful video - although I've got a lot of 'clicking' noises from the shoulders going on? Isn't it great that I can take your instructions whilst watching in lockdown from a little village in England! Thank you.
While you're in a small village in England, exercising, I'm in "The States" in a medium sized town also exercising. apparently we are both in the same "lockdown" situation. It boggles my mind how the governments all over our entire planet can get together and convince millions and billions of people that we are all in so much danger that we have to lock ourselves up for "protection". From what? the flu - ? each other? "them"? I've never seen anything like this in my entire life !! It boggles my mind every day. I wish we could "chat". caroldianadean39@gmail.com.😊

Thank you for explaining the purpose of these exercises. I have been doing them and found that I have gained considerable strength in my entire body. I highly recommend them to my fellow octogenarians. Tony Boissiere

Thank you for including us seniors. We are different our bodies had changed and strength is utmost importance. This exercise is great to start and I will mark this as my book mark and see your face often. Thank you and a warm bear hug to you and God bless :-)
Hey there, you should join our Facebook group for more tips, videos, and blogs about healthy aging facebook.com/groups/livewell50. We would love to have you. Hope to see you on the inside!
Thank you. Great suggestions on the gradual increase in levels for the bridge. When doing quats, what tips do you have about the alignment of the knees to the toes to avoid future knee issues? Also, what's a good way to strengthen the front of the leg--a common problem that causes people over the age of 50 to trip as they lose strength to dorsiflex. What a great way to remind us to keep up our strength as we go about the daily activities of living. Thanks again.

Great stuff. I`m 73. Started doing these simple exercises 15 months ago, five times a week. Huge difference in flexibility and energy level. Also, I do treadmill 5X week. My hamstrings were very very tight, now I can lift my leg past 90 degrees. My hip muscles are now flexible. My walking stride is wider. If you`re feeling your age and have low energy.....you MUST make a change. I feel 45 now.
Great work Malcolm, keep it going!
Thanks, Malcolm! Encouraging.
Achieved my goal. 10,000 deep squats...took 600 days. Lost 20 lbs.!!
@@malcolmwright914 Excellent Malcolm! You are the type of person we would love to join our Facebook group to help keep all of us motivated and hopeful! facebook.com/groups/livewell50. Hope to see you on the inside!
Thanks for sharing
Great, I’m 74 & do 6 aqua classes a week, 2 swim fit, 2 yoga & 1 session on the toning chairs. Also lost over 7 stone (100 lbs) Have managed to avoid a hip replacement for almost 6 years now because of these activities. Gives me a great social life too.
Excellent, keep it up!
Wow fantastic well done 🙏
Scapular retraction, Bridge, Squat, ankle flexion, grapevine, good clear demonstration
Thanks!
I’m 83, about four or five years ago I just sat down and quit moving. I was always very active, and when I was 54 I started long-distance bicycle riding with my grown daughters. When I was 58, a friend and I rode bicycles across the USA 3600 miles. I was in very good shape. Now I find myself barely able to shuffle out the door to my car. I was depressed and thought well I’ll just sit here and die. Well, when you’ve been extremely healthy and active you don’t die right away, it’s a long process. Now I am going to try to gain lost ground. I just bought a walker with a seat so I can walk, sit down, and walk again. My goal is to walk to the end of my street and back, which is about 3/4 of a mile. I will also incorporate these exercises, as my physical therapist already gave me a couple of them to do. Who knows, maybe I’ll walk across America. On our bike ride across the USA we met an older man in Montana who was doing just that. (The Pacing Parson - UA-cam)
Best of luck!
This is tremendous.
My goodness you got to get going , can you swim
How's it going?
Its a wake up call, Like you i led an active life now as a 73 year old i suffer the aches and pains of getting older, I did retire to Thailand and was very fit, now returning to the UK i find i am becoming a couch potato, your words are indeed a wake up call, thank you, Cheshire UK
What I like about your videos are that I can hear you clearly and you speak clearly.
I'm 72 and have been having trouble hearing the last year or so.
Plus your videos seem helpful, so thank you.
You are very welcome in Joseph!
I've had the same issue and found improved hearing by using ear wax remover drops.😊
I'm uh, 28. And after doing those 5 exercises, i'm realizing i'm still out of breath five minutes later. I knew I was out of shape, i was aware of my sedentary lifestyle, but maan the difficulty in doing just basic movements really drove it home for me.
I really need to change my life. And my daily habits.
I hope anyone reading this regardless of age will take to heart how important it is to exercise consistently, and especially to seek out ways to be healthier.
I know my future self will thank me for exercising as soon as possible as consistently as possible, the same way I know I'll be kicking myself down the line if I make excuses to never get around to it.
Great points, you got this!
Thank you so much for your videos. I am a female retired nurse, 83 years old, active and never smoke nor drink.I am 5 feet 2 and weigh 129 lbs. I love dancing, yoga and zumba. Just few days ago, i have a lower right back pain. I went to chiropractor and massage therapist. Still I have the pain in the right lower back. I am following your exercises and hope i will better. I just found you website tonight and thank you that I saw you videos. USA follower. God Bless you and your wife.
I am 83 years thank you for exposing me to these 5 Exercises to enhance my health.
You are very welcome 🙏🏼
Thank you for posting this. My husband is receiving from two severe head injuries. His rehab support has been suspended and these posts are a life-line for his recovery and my sanity. BTW I can't understand why there have been 727 thumbs down on this site.. ? Let us not say/do anything if we haven't got something nice or helpful to say.
Thanks for the kind words Jenny. I hope your husband makes a speedy recovery.

How are you doing?
Hello Ed and Elizabeth, Thank you for the 5 important exercises for 60 yrs. I’ve so of out at home for years. For the first time I injured the ligament under my scapula.. air was from doing weights with my arm over my head… The pain was so severe & I could not move my right arm the pain brought me to tears.. I knew I would not take pain meds. I found movements for under the scapula which I did 7!times a day. I went thru the aweful pain and screamed as I continued.. After 2 days I was pain free.. UNBELIEVABLE.. I. Believed that was the safest way.. I truly am grateful for all you do!! With Respect
What exercise did you do? I'm glad you're better.
You are a blessing! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. I am 76 yrs old and I haven’t exercised for 5 months. I feel my muscles loosing flexibility and strength. Thank you again for getting me going!

5 excercises,shoulder back and down,2.bridge,3.suquatting,4.stand on toes,both legs or single leg,5,side front lateral, step,side back lateral steps.Remember both right and left leg.Good luck .I do these in Pilates classes called feet excercises,posture,core.
Thank you ! I have always loved being still. At 67, I feel groggy when I lie or sit . I had to force myself to do these 5 mins and it made a difference, more focused, less anxiety.
Excellent Elsa, keep working at it! Even 5 minutes is a start, good luck!

I am 70 and Life lesson to me was realizing that I should’ve started doing stocks in my 20s-30s instead I was living life with no real reason. Now I am older and the stock thing is looking too complicated to even start.. have about 550k to put in but its so confusing.
Yes, a good number of folks are raking in huge 6 figure gains in this downtrend, but such strategies are mostly successfully executed by folks with in depth market knowledge
Very true. Despite having no prior investing knowledge, I started investing before the pandemic and pulled in a profit of approximately $950k that same year. In reality, all I was doing was getting professional advice.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and I am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?

I'M REALLY IMPRESSED WITH the first exercise.....I didnt know to do that and felt much stronger even after doing it the first few days and will continue to. It keeps alot of strain off my lower back when i'm busy lifting and moving things. I luv it!!! (I had a low back injury and thought i'd never be able to live without the pain) that exercise was just what i needed!!!
Excellent Lara! Happy to help 😎
I am sixty three and have doing pilaties for ten years and although i have a back injury it has totally strengthened my entire body

Great! We should never stop moving and exercising. Most of my life I have been very flexible and active. For the past 10 years, my work has had me sitting down for long hours. I was becoming stiffer and achy. I am 67, so I partially retire and joined joined a gym and added walking when not going to the gym. What a difference! I feel like I am as flexible and strong as my old 30 years old self. At my age, sitting on the floor and getting up without support and using your hands is the best sign of longevity for a person. I have no problem at all doing that and more. Your teaching is highly appreciated by us old folks.
I am 56 years old and have been working as a CNA for 30 years, I have horrible sciatica and can barely put socks and shoes on my right leg and foot. I am very debilitated, yet I must continue to work. I am trying to do the best I can to keep my body mobile.
Best of luck!
I'm over 60 and I did an hour HIIT workout today. I've consistently done walking and body weight calisthenics since Jan 1. I workout almost every day. I definitely get over 4k steps every day but some days, if I'm sore because I blasted a weight session or HIIT session then I do a 15 minute stretching workout once I reach my step goal. I'm ok with 4k steps but now I'm usually over 6500. Flexibility and strength are more important to me than 8k-10k steps. So this is good advice!😊
You are doing great, keep up the good work 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for considering us over 60s. The exercises are very well demonstrated and easy to understand.
Now I have to be consistent.
You're so welcome!
I’m thankful to you Hazebrown27..many times people forget that, I forget that I’m 62. I went through Columbia College dance school in Chicago. I also had classes at International dance studio. But I’m out of whack now. Hey can’t even jump rope one time!! That’s insane.

I’ve let myself go after having aortic aneurysm surgery two years ago………the surgeon saved my life (literally!) and now I’m throwing it down the toilet….I needed to find somewhere to start and this is it. I’m 65 and have been active all of my life (17 years military, amateur boxer, rugby player) so it s depressing to see how I have fallen.
Start slowly and build from there. Remember what it was like to train when you were a boxer and tap in to that dedication of energy 😎
Wish you a speedy recovery!
Some solid information here. Exercise 1 is gold. Just had 8 months of physio to correct this issue (I’m 62). Treat yourself to an exercise band and save £££!
Thanks and good luck, hope you feel better soon!
Im 66 and started this program 9 weeks ago.
EPIC RESULTS !!!!!
IM A NEW PERSON.
Im in better shape than my grandson.lol
Thanks
Thanks
Thanks !!!!!
Excellent! Keep it going!
❤😂🎉😮
Absolutely fab. I longwalk, up to 10 kms every few days. Bike about 30kms every few days. Yoga too. I’m a 74 years female, and I really like your take on exercise. Thank you.
Hello Sydnie, you are very welcome! Sounds like you are doing great, keep it up~ Stay well
You go Girl!!! CMJ
You can drop your shoulders back and hold onto a door frame with both hands and lean in slightly to for the scapular retractions it opens the chest out. So I’ve been told. I do this so I don’t need bands and have more stability.
Hello Jemima, great alternative exercise, thanks for sharing!
Omg! Thank you so much! These exercises have improved my posture and restored strength and agility in my daily movements. I've been doing these for the past 3 months. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hello Goddit, how are you?
Thank v much.
63 here my back is in constance pain.
Never really kept going with core exercises before. So now I'm paying the price.
With the help of these exercises to strengthen the core muscles.
Sitting a big help.
I am the only one that can do this for me
Tnx again Ed.
Good luck, remember to stress Consistency with the exercises over Intensity!
Thank you so much Ed. At 71 still working in healthcare and need to keep up my strength, flexibility and balance. Some exercises on internet are made up by just anybody so they can make $ on new and different exercises. However, there is a lack of proper body alignment so they can do harm. You are a PT so want to keep people safe. I severed super spinatus 15 years ago and was thinking I need to strenghen my rotator cuff SAFELY, so am very happy to stumble upon your video and the grapevine is over the top good because it should help us old folks to recover from a stumble. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I will do each one.
You are very welcome June, good luck!
Easy to follow clear instructions without all the sales gimmick really enjoyed this programme
Thanks Caroline!
Me too. I am immobilized by severe depression but I can do these - I hope!
if your over sixty, start with a walk /cycle, cycle for 10 to 15 mins,then walk for 10 to 15 mins,workout a route,which lasts for about an hour, your basically jumping on and off the bike until you finish the route.
it never gets boring,and gets you very fit,fantastic for the lockdown.
A route?
I am a male 71, I found these suggestions practical for the truly new to a fitness regime, fortunately for me I started getting ready for old age over 50 years ago and approached it not unlike saving for a quality retirement. still do weights 45 mins to an hour 4 days a week, yoga and meditation every day and HIIT groundwork training on rugged terrain once or twice a week also alpine ski in winter kayak in summer regularly. I did not always make the best choices in life however the commitment to fitness that I never faltered on through good times and bad has paid huge dividends in the past ten years of retirement...for me these truly are as the old adage goes my "golden years". Each day I feel blessed at how well my body works at this
I age,I live without limitations and I try to get young people to buy in so that they might experience the same later in their lives. We have a daughter who competes in the Iron Man events, so a win there...God bless all. it is never too late to improve!
Hello James, thanks for sharing, great insight!
wow, you sound amazing! WISH I had started earlier, I'm 70 and hurt
Front Row with Ed and Elizabeth ....can’t get the subscribe button to work 😞
@Wul Vel Fortunately I have no issues with my knee joints yet.
@@denisemsummersett9400 I massage with foam roller, ice up tender areas and even use Absorbine Horse gel on sore muscles to alleviate workout pain...
Love it! 64 here and do all my own lawn work and just came down with sciatica after weed eating non stop for over a hour
Congratulations on doing all of your own yard work, that's great! I hope your sciatica calms down soon, if not you can try these exercises ua-cam.com/video/yhuvRIkq0IA/v-deo.html Good luck!
Been there That hurts!!
Thank you so much,. I'm 65 years young and decided to subscribe, very refreshing to see you get right into the video without all kinds of " sales talk", ( as I refer to it ). Lol.
Blessings!
You are so welcome!
@Wul Vel ..... I'm not " afraid " to refer to my age as " older", I was referring to being young in spirit and in Heart ... Which is one of the keys to not " feeling old ".
Thank you,.....; I see you changed your name on your comment.
Great advice and exercises, for me at my age of 82, I'm struggling a bit with
my balance with the steps a little, but I'm sure that once I get into a rhythm it will improve. My biggest problem is getting up off my back at the moment, 😅 so I hope as I go along that will improve.
You can do it!
I do whatever I feel like everyday free on youtube , yoga I follow many instructors , Kukuwa, aerobic walking, dancing, qi gong, yi jin jing, all great for seniors. Pool aerobics the best water for seniors. And stretching which yoga covers but if you don’t like yoga, just do a stretching routine. So much free great instruction no excuse not to exercise even if you don’t own a pool .It makes you feel great.
With the gym closed I have not been exercising except for walking. This has helped me get back into a routine. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
I work out daily. I like this a lot. I will be 65 in about 3 months. Feeling great
Keep it up Hubert, that's great!
Ed, great post...seniors like myself(68), (BM finisher in '17) would do themselves a huge favor by performing these exercises. Thank you!
You are very welcome Eldon!
I love this. As I've got older (64 soon) I need to slow it down a little as I've got advanced osteoarthritis. My right side is not what it was, especially my right knee. The pain is unbearable. Thank you soooooo much for this steady exercise regime. The morning stretches are also brilliant for my back.
It's so so nice that you're not demanding money unlike 'most' of the nasty trainers. Thank you so much. 🤬
Best of luck!

Excellent, and I might add what my great personal trainer told me: "When doing squats or sit-ups, always hold in/tighten your abdominal muscles. This strengthens your back as you do the exercises.."
Hello Martha, great insight! Yes, contracting your core helps to stabilize your trunk. Better keep that trainer :)
I feel that we should focus on our core at the beginning of each of these or any other exercise. Kind of sense and firmly tighten your core.

Extremely good exercise and easy to do. Additionally, I lie down on my bed sideways and lift my legs up against a wall for 10 minutes. I try to remember to do that daily once or occasionally twice. Thank you.

Love this!!! I’m a PTA who works in geriatrics. The scap retractions, sit to stands, and bridges are on my “everyone needs to do to stay out of a nursing home” list. I also add ankle dorsiflexion with the heel lifts (because people lose that as they age and it’s important for good floor clearance when walking) and single leg stands (to prevent shuffling gait patterns). I’m so happy to see this simple workout! I’m hitting the subscribe button!
Excellent Heather! We need more therapists like you in our profession. Since you work in a nursing home, here's a link to my osteoporosis playlist as many clinicians are not aware of the precautions ua-cam.com/video/BaJ7mGf2eys/v-deo.html Keep up the good work :)

Thank you too
That's very nice. It is elementary. I am over 80 years of age Practicing Qigong. I would suggest to my younger counterparts to investigate this. This daily exercise I have done for 1 1/2 years now. Big Smiles. CMJ Canada
Thanks Charles, great suggestion!
Very good. Thank you. I am 72 with a sciatica compromised left leg! This will definitely be added to my 3 times a week routine. Until last year I was doing Greek circle dancing and can see its value. Hopefully, post virus that can start again. Many thanks - Murray

Thankyou Soo much ! EASY !
Pushing 70, Thankyou for caring. Will be starting out slow but this will work ! 5 and "good to go exercises". Thankyou for expanding exercises to other areas of the body too. Good health to you.
Hello Joy, you are very welcome and good health to you also!
hello! iam a filipina 64 yrs old, widow, i love exercise,
Good luck Eden!
Grapevine is great! Of course, be careful. I also walk backward up a long hill - fortunately I live out in the country on a seldom traveled back road. Also for balance and stability, I love using a balance pad standing on one leg at a time. Balance pads are foam rubber about 3” thick and designed to destabilize you so your body learns to compensate. Not expensive and are really helpful and fun.
Thanks Bill!
I'm 60 and obese , over the past year I have become quite stiff and walking down stairs became difficult, I thought it was my knees but by doing these exercises I realised it may not be the only problem standing on my toes is challenging especially on one foot, I will work on this, thank you for this video
You are very welcome and good luck!
This is great because it is practical and we get right into doing the exercises without a lot of sales talk. Thank you..

I will look for other videos by you that focus more on the core and balance as I a less confident walker than I was just five years ago. Thanks, again.

I love this. You didn’t overwhelm me with too many exercises. This feels doable.
I have terrible knees. Is there an alternative to squats
Excellent!
@@SuperSheila1965
Hi Sheila!
Your knees are not terrible! They need some l o v e...;)
Talk to your knees...massage them telling them they are wonderful and you love them!
🙂
Every organ in our body hears us. I talk to my thyroid every day while moisturizing my neck.
And to my heart when some anxiety shows up.
It's really calming & it works!
Good luck! 🙂
Bogda, You have given me such a wonderful thought. Such positivity! I am going to talk to my body from today. Thanks a ton!

Thanks!
Thanks so much Caroline! Happy to help you on your journey
Thank you for a exercise programme for the elderly Found your exercises very helpful And really enjoyable With out all the sales gimmicks a pleasure to listen to
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much because I can’t walk much anymore my balance is off feels like I’m falling 💕 Pray theses work outs help 🙏
You are so welcome Drusilla! Also for balance, check out this video I did ua-cam.com/video/Ag-HYahriog/v-deo.html Good luck!
thank you for remembering us "seniors" And "elderly".
We seem to get to a point in our lives where "body image" is not important any more. We are not trying to impress anyone else with our attractiveness. So we start with a little "slouching" and it's all downhill from there. If we would realize that overall health not just being "sexy", is what the real goal is here, we have a better chance of staying healthier and out of hospitals! Again, - Thank you!!😊
I am 63 both my knees are shot both hips going also both shoulders in much pain I was go kart racing two years ago ballroom dancer until 46 years old was an avid walker used stationary bike and now all this breaking down came on quickly cannot walk giving up any ideas?

I've just now realizing I NEED this. I've had 2 back surgeries,2Fusions..so many injections for me to count. I'm going to be 66 ay the end of May. I can't walk very far at all. When I do walk it's so painful I can't stand it. I'm so hunched over it's pitiful. Hope these can help me. Hope I've not waited too long to reverse this. Thank You for letting me vent!!!!
Yes, start off by doing a little bit of exercise every single day and also try to increase your steps just a little bit at a time. You got this, stay positive!
I'm 80 years old and spent many years working out in the gym for strengthening exercises and muscle building UNTIL I overdid it and developed tendinitis and bursitis in my shoulders. Not good!! As a result, I stopped doing everything except walking and some mild stretching of upper body. Still, I lost 10 lbs of muscle mass!! Now, even though I'm only 95 lbs. I want to continue with the type of exercises that you are offering in this fine video to gain more flexibility and strength especially in my shoulders.With osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, it's all a challenge to stay motivated but your instructions are clear and appropriate to what I need. Thank you for the help !
You are so welcome, you have the right attitude 😎
Thanks for your advice Ed. I wasn't looking for an exercise video but I am 66 and was attracted by your headline. Your presentation was excellent and instructions very clear and I have now adopted this into my regular exercise.
Thanks Gordon!
Thank you so much! I REALLY needed this information. Can't go to the gym because of WiFi. Needed something I can do in my tiny house. This is perfect! You probably just saved my life. I'm 68.
You are so welcome Sharon! Happy to save your life :)
Hello Sharon, how are you?
Wish I'd found this video back in March when our quarantine started! But it's never too late, right?
Correct! It's never too late to start, good luck!
Very good exercise for not only seniors but for everyone Iam 68 years young and exercise was always an important in our family. 👍
Well said!
These look very sensible, and this couldn't be clearer. I'm 70 and work out at a gym, so I'm still pretty sure-footed and stabile. But at my age I can't expect this to continue to be the case for a whole lot longer, so I'll incorporate this into my routine -and not go down without a fight.
Sounds like a great plan!
Love this thank you! Doing it in your kitchen makes it less intimidating for me! These are all manageable for me, and appreciate your explanation of how the muscle are getting worked. Sharing!
You are so welcome!

Hi I am 50. I have been in a wheelchair outside and almost bed rest for twelve years to undiagnosed damaged nerves around my pubic bone. I am now diagnosed and had a spinal cord stimulator fitted to help with the pain. Thank god it's transformed my life. I can know even walk for about ten minutes unaided. I want to start daily stretches (I tried excercises and failed it made my pain flare up too much). Would this video be the best stretch excercises for me to do daily please?
I'm trying successful aging. I'm a 62 year old male. This week I'm squatting 127 kg for 6 to depth. Backoffs 115 kg 4 sets of 8. Deadlifts 3 by 8 reps at 165 kg. Bench sets of 6 at 102.5. Just taking it easy because it's just in garage.
Hello Chris, keep on going, that's great!
@@FrontRowwithEd
Thanks. Im trying. Sick of always being sore is the only problem. My goal is a 250kg deadlift by 65 then to maintain close to that till 70
With squat i would be happy with 150 by 70. A lot harder.
Had a bad fall that ruptured my quadriceps tendon and now at 70 I think these exercises will help in my recovery process.Thank you.
You are very welcome, wishing you a speedy recovery!
Those side steps are found in my Dancing! Love your exercises. 63 and holding....
Rock on Diane!

Really helpful video - although I've got a lot of 'clicking' noises from the shoulders going on?
Isn't it great that I can take your instructions whilst watching in lockdown from a little village in England!
Thank you.
Glad it was helpful Robert and the internet age is amazing!
While you're in a small village in England, exercising, I'm in "The States" in a medium sized town also exercising. apparently we are both in the same "lockdown" situation. It boggles my mind how the governments all over our entire planet can get together and convince millions and billions of people that we are all in so much danger that we have to lock ourselves up for "protection". From what? the flu - ? each other? "them"? I've never seen anything like this in my entire life !! It boggles my mind every day. I wish we could "chat".
caroldianadean39@gmail.com.😊
Great advice and exercises, for me at my age of 82, I'm struggling a bit with
my balance with the steps a little, but I'm sure that once I get into a rhythm it will improve. My biggest problem is getting up off my back at the moment, so I hope as I go along that will improve.
You can do it!
This is great exercise routine for me its the māori new year soon its time to reset my daily routine & foundation to build on
wish they would add something for those of us with a damaged knee that prevents squats.

Thank you for including us seniors. We are different our bodies had changed and strength is utmost importance. This exercise is great to start and I will mark this as my book mark and see your face often. Thank you and a warm bear hug to you and God bless :-)

Thank you. Great suggestions on the gradual increase in levels for the bridge.
When doing quats, what tips do you have about the alignment of the knees to the toes to avoid future knee issues? Also, what's a good way to strengthen the front of the leg--a common problem that causes people over the age of 50 to trip as they lose strength to dorsiflex.
What a great way to remind us to keep up our strength as we go about the daily activities of living. Thanks again.
Other people get into these important details better than Ed. You can find them all over UA-cam.
Thank You so much for encouraging 60 plus to Move and Strengthen their bodies🤣. At 71 back to college physical fitness classes 3 semesters to work with seniors in Nursing Homes... You Give the Best 5 important Strengthening - Safety Moves.!
Keep it up Chris, that's great!
