I am so thrilled that I have discovered you and your excellent videos. It’s so nice to find someone who cares about seniors. I’ve been doing your exercises for about a week, and I simply love them!😊
This will be another routine to do everyday!~ At 72 years young, I managed to do the whole session! Thanks very much!
That is wonderful to hear Diane :) Keep up your great effort, you should be very proud of yourself.
All Mike's stretches are great, you really feel refreshed after doing a set. Thanks!
Thanks Jan! Keep up the good work with it all! 🙂
I've already commented on these dynamic stretches--they're great. PLEASE, think up more dynamic stretch routines. I can't tell you how many times I return to this routine, always leaving revitalized, supple, and feeling oh-so-good! Thanks again, Joe!...Anastasia
My pleasure Anastasia! Will do! :)
I've just tried this routine for the first time & loved it. I think I enjoy the dynamic stretches more than the static ones. Thank you Mike.
You're welcome Sue! Great to hear! :)
Enjoyed the stretches today!! Thanks Mike for helping seniors improve their flexibility! !God Bless!!
This is so wonderful! I haven't done much dynamic stretching and I love it! I've added this into my daily stretches for the past few weeks and what a nice extra bit of stretching to have daily! Many, many thanks again for all that you do for all of us!
You're very welcome Betsy! Keep up the good work with it all!
Doing this one again, a year later...one of the things I like about these shorter workouts is that they provide success experiences...reinforcing doing them. Thanks for putting together such thoughtful videos.
I am 73 years old and have
Osteoarthritis.
I have started following your program
I do the warm up and then the 30 minute total body workout to target my upper and lower body!
Thank you so much!
I tell people I have a Personal Trainer!
Yeah!
I enjoy your method of delivery:
.Easy to follow
.Your voice is very clear and precise!
.I like how you keep encouraging us!
Thank you.
Yours truly,
Marilynn Weisser from Alberta Canada 🇨🇦🙂💪
Thank you for the kind words Marilyn.. I am happy to hear you are getting great benefit out of the exercises. You're doing great! Keep it all up! :)
The standing package of 8/30 exercises is wonderful. This one ended with dynamic stretches. I totally enjoy all your stretches, and do all 3 prescribed ones (AM, 4 EVERY DAY, PM), but I especially enjoy the dynamic ones because I can readily feel that I'm exercising as well...Anastasia
Fantastic effort Anastasia! Keep up the great work!
Love this particular exercise. I do it regularly as part of my 50-60 min. routine. Feel it working my muscles and joints. Thanks Mike, you are the greatest!
You're welcome Anne! Great to hear! :)
The dynamic stretches are awesome! I feel so refreshed. These along with the ones for sciatica will be my go to. Thank you Mike all the way from North Carolina, USA
You're so welcome Yvonne! :) Keep up the great effort!
I am so thrilled to have found this excellent, comprehensive and convenient group of exercises. After realizing it was unrealistic to attempt things I did years ago, I wasn't sure where to turn. I searched for exercises for seniors, and voila, I found this. Thank you so much. Now during these days of social distancing, it is even more relevant. So nice to do without having to leave home or invest in expensive equipment
Great to hear that you have been finding the exercises helpful Arlene! Keep up the great work! :)
These are amazing exercises , just went through this session for the first time and loved them . This guy is the best of any I have ever used .
Thank you heaps Christine! Keep it all up! :)
I love your step by step instructions videos. I’m having problems with balance, because I had ankle surgery. Thanks Mike, for superb videos
You're very welcome! Keep up the great work :)
Mike, you are the best! Thank you so much!
Hey there guys - I strongly recommend Mike's dynamic exercises (if you haven´t already done them), They are the best and especially in quarantine! Thanks Mike, loved it.
My pleasure Johanna! Thanks for the recommendation too!
I quite agree, Johanna...Anastasia

I love starting my day with this dynamic stretching routine and then following it with the Hips or Lower Back exercises. I'm increasing my flexibility and even more importantly, my alignment! Thank you Mike, best exercises for those starting out or with injuries. Also appreciate the pace, deep breaths and calmness throughout.
Awesome to hear J! You're very welcome :) Keep up the great work!

Cheers Jan! :) All the best!
That was good
Hi Mike, This is a lovely routine but unfortunately after you say the words "let's get into it" the sound gets almost totally muted. I don't quite understand this as the beginning is fine. I wonder if anyone else has mentioned this? If there is nothing to be done I'll just follow on as I watch you! It's not critical so don't worry about it. Was only curious if it is just me that is having problems. Have a wonderful day. xx Eve
Hey Eve. A few others have also mentioned this to me particularly in regards to several older videos. I have recently been working on improving the sound in newer videos, hence why this particular video/several older videos may sound like how you described. You can however turn on subtitles by pressing the 'CC' button down the bottom of the video so you don't miss anything that is being said. 🙂
@@MoreLifeHealth Thanks so much for your feedback, Mike! I'll do what you said 😀. Stay safe and happy!! xx Eve
