Thank Wil I'm 72 now and your video has reminded me what I should be doing every day but have got a bit lazy in my old age. Keep these posts coming sir as they are very motivational🙂
So pleased to hear you've found my videos motivational, that's half the battle! Keep up the great work and you'll be sure to reap the rewards :)
Same for me! I have to get myself moving. Use it or lose it!…Will provides the motivation!😊
Omg! I walk about 15,000 steps a day. I don’t have a car. I am 72. I make all my food including breads. I eat whole plant based food with 2 egg boiled most days and fish most days. I run most days. Recently fell with my standard 80 lb poodle. Ran into his back legs sprinting across the traffic. Went down knocked the wind out of me. Bloodied me up but no permanent damage or broken bones. I think too many people take too many supplements and tout all meat, vegan and what not. Love your food and enjoy life.
You are never too old
@@SinglesAdventures You are an Inspiration to be sure!! You are in Amazing shape! WOW😁
As a disabled person it all helps so thanks will
Yes it does 🙏🏻
It's my pleasure to help!
I'm over 50 and get sore legs when getting up
I find this video helpful and motivational.
Thank you, Will, for posting this video for seniors to help their independence.
I will try these. I'm 82 and have lost a lot of leg strength and muscle, but I've been going to exercise class and have gained back a lot. As we get older we need to really work hard to maintain. Thanks!
Absolutely, it's all about consistency! Well done on the excellent work you've done to rebuild your leg strength - keep up your great efforts :)
Yes, and the COVID restrictions messed me up at just the wrong age.
I am watching your video right now and I will definitely try doing those exercises and I promise you that I will comment about my experience
Young man, I promise to give these exercises a sincere college try.
That's fantastic to hear - I hope they prove beneficial for you :)
I did exercises like these before my knee replacement surgeries, and I believe it really helped my recovery. I haven't been doing them lately and I have gotten weak. I'm going to start them again today! Thank you for explaining the difference between strength and muscle mass.
I'm sure they will have aided your recovery! I hope my video was able to provide a boost of motivation to get back into them :)
Learned something new from you today , muscles and strength is not related . Wow, game changer 👍
Try and rephrase, because muscles are absolutely related to strength. The interpretation is more likely that those who no longer can build muscle or keep muscle mass, still can exercise to build strength. The older we get, the more difficult it is to keep strength. Slight exercise is what is needed for good maintenance.
@@margueriteobrien8833 I did not realize that they were not the same thing either!
So pleased I was able to introduce something new!
Thank you will, you are a very kind person!!
It's my pleasure to help!
Thank you very much, Mr Harlow. I love your exercises. I am 53 and have lost so much leg muscle strength in the last 24 months I have difficulty getting myself up from the floor. I will do the exercises u taught in this video. Thank you from Singapore
Hi there - I'm sorry to hear that you have lost a lot of muscle strength recently - I hope these exercises prove beneficial for you - I'm wishing you all the best :)
I just did a set of these and went for a walk. My knee didn't hurt once! Wow! Will def continue to do them! I didn't realise there was a difference between the muscle mass strength and neural network strength! Maybe I have weak neural network, and that's why it's made a difference already after just one set! Thank you, great video.
Thanks Will, please put up more videos for the senior citizens
Thank you Wil I have been so worried about how unsteady I've become after not going out much over this long winter we've had, I'm not walking good now, so using a stick. I am 79 and like to keep busy baking, cleaning ,gardening etc, but when I tried doing my usual daily walk when spring came I felt really frightened as to how I had seized up! I used to walk quite smartly for about an hour but only managing twenty mins now. I feel you've given me an answer to my problem and a lifeline so I will start the exercises asap, thank you so much .
I'm so pleased my video was able to offer useful information to help rebuild your strength and confidence with walking. It sounds like you've got a lovely set of activities that keep you busy too, and hopefully these exercises can help with all of those too! Wishing you all the best :)
Thank you from Romania, Transilvania. You are really good.
Thank you so much! Sending best wishes to you in Romania :)
Thank you for demonstrating those simple exercises, very helpful. I also like it because I didn't have to watch a video for an hour to get this info.
All of your videos are incredible and you instill confidence ❤
Spot on! Thank you for such encouraging words and exercises that doable.
I am doing the exercises, this is my third day already and I believe I already feel the difference on my left knee. Thank you.
Will you are a God send to all the golden oldies THANK YOU SO MUCH GOD bless you for all your advise, please don’t stop helping us ❤️
Thank you so much for your comment, it's more than generous! I'm just glad you find my work helpful :)

Will, I have done a form of these exercises but followed them w lengthening the quads w lying on the side, bending the knee backwards so that the heel touches the bum. 30 seconds.
Thank you for these videos and also speaking respectfully .
It's my pleasure to help :)
Thanks 🙏
I have been watching and doing a number of your excellent exercises for post TKR rehab. I am nearly 12 months post surgery and still get occasional knee buckling so have started these exercises. I can really feel my quads being fired up already after two days. Thank you Wil
Thank you. I am definitely going to try this out. My hip joint hurts a lot affecting my mobility. I am 51 and I simply must try this.
Just wanted you to know that I and a friend, both in our 80s are enjoying your channel in Canada. I use some of your exercises every day and they are making a positive difference.

❤ Will , so glad to watch your channel especially this video. My quads have all but disappeared the past 2 years (70). Ridden horses for years, walk dogs every day, but had 3 falls over last year, latest New Years Day tripping over a broom hamdle!! Bad concussion. These exercises and explanation are ideal. Thank You.
I'm so sorry to hear about your falls and the impact they've had! I hope these exercises offer a practical starting point as you begin rebuilding your strength again - I'm wishing you all the best :)

What an achievement! It's great to have your endorsement of my work, thank you☺
excellent videos!
thank you!
Very happy to help!
76, getting TKR in 2 weeks, I will add to my doctor's recommendations. Having foot issues makes some exercises impossible. Thanks!
Good luck with surgery, Mountain Gran. You will be so happy to be free of chronic knee pain. I've had both done❤🎉
Will, you are an amazing physiotherapist. You clearly know and understand your trade so very well. Your exercises have helped me tremendously to rebuild strength following a knee injury. All best.
Thank you so much for your kind words, it's wonderful that I'm able to share my expertise with others! I'm thrilled to hear I've been able to help with rebuilding your knee strength, keep up the great work that you've been dedicating to your recovery 😃
Thanks Wim for u video
I’m a 54 old woman , been active my entire live and of course a lot of injuries . I work out like always because I don’t feel my age but I get pain here and there from my old injuries. I was needing something like this to get stronger and slow down a bit 🙈 thank you loving your Channell
Thank you for that

Thank you for the exercises SIr. God bless you.
Very happy to help!
Great stuff Will.
Thank you!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I finally got my motivation on. Got an unexpected tax refund so I bought a couple of pieces of gear. I have started and I am doing all the basics but all assisted too. Starting from scratch after a bit of an illness. Having the equipment placed in my tiny "living room" also gives me a minute by minute visual reminder. Thanks for all your information.
A great investment with your tax refund! I hope you're feeling better after your illness and I hope these exercises offer a good starting point for you :)
@@HT-Physio Thanks for the reply. I am fully recovered from the illness but in very poor physical condition.
Your videos have helped both by providing useful information and regularly watching has helped with my motivation.
I am starting VERY slowly and carefully but at least I have started. Finally.
Cheers!
Great video 👍🏼
Thank you!
These work like magic...thanks ..
Great to hear that!
Im over 60 and recently had knee operation after injury.the exercises are exactly what I need.
Thanks for a succinct explanation on the difference between leg vs muscle strength
I'm sorry to hear about your injury! I'm glad my video was able to offer some useful information to aid your recovery :)
Will, you are fantastic, thank you! I know you have a book, but you are so very good on video and it's easier to use. Do you have any plans to sell video downloads for full body workouts?
Thanks for sharing this video. ❤
It's my pleasure 😃
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
Brilliant!
Thank you Will
Happy to help!
Thanks!
You're welcome!
Very interesting and informative Will, thank you.
Very happy to help!
Thank you for sharing these excellent exercises, they are really helping me. 😊
So pleased to hear they're helping!
Thank you for motivatting
My pleasure!
Good day. Thank you for the very helpful physical exercises for seniors you are teaching. They are a great help. I will be 72 years old in 2 months time and have been fairly active in my younger days with tennis, cycling, golf, and gym work among other activities. Turning 60s was not much of a problem physically, but hitting the 70s, one really notices the loss of strength, stamina, and balance. Seniors really must spend some time for exercise to maintain their health and keep their balance to avoid falling accidents.
Happy birthday for 2 months time! I'm sorry to hear you've noticed difficulties with your strength and balance. I have lots of videos on my channel for these different issues that you may find beneficial as well. Sending best wishing to you :)
Thank you! These are actually do-able.
That's great to hear!
They look good for sciatic pain 👌🏻
Thank you for these specific exercises I need to strengthen my legs prior to hip surgery,
I have degenerative discs so maybe need to go carefully with the band one ?
Thank you your videos have been a great help for me.
Best of luck Maureen!!
flattening your back to the floor is essential. Or as my trainer says "Pull your bellybutton to your spine."
Yes, good for seniors so far I have seen😊
That's great to hear!
Yes young man will give these exercises a try
I hope they prove helpful for you!
I am sure It does help, I was already doing those exercises but thanks 🙏🏻 to this video it has confirmed now that my legs 🦵🏼 are stronger due to these exercises 😎
