I just found you and will be telling everyone I know who are seniors or with disabilities about your channel. I have fibromyalgia and have low back and si joint issues. I have to be careful what type of exercises and stretches I do as it aggravates those si joints. It seems to me this is the way to go. I mean, chair exercises. I did the weights and this one today. I’m very impressed. Thank-you!
My grandma does this exercise all the time thanks for sharing have a fabulous night ❤
I do not have a chair with sides,so I set my weights vertically by my sides and use them as if they were the sides of a chair.
Excellent work out!🦵
This is for all of us seniors, I will be 73 next mo I was looking for exercises for seniors as other programs do not focus on seniors but the younger generation. I found Mike and his site and instantly started to look at his videos , every one of them are inspiring , well informed , explained in detail and they work. Mike looked at my exercise program and instantly told me I am exercising too hard for to many days, he advised me on the right way to go . I have been diagnosed with arthritis and scoliosis in my back, nothing will cure this but I can exercise my back, spine , hip and knee which at various time I have issues with them all, my balance has gotten better as I do not have to hang onto a chair now , I do balance every day , I also use my flat band to stretch my right leg as that has Been an issue for 6 mo all due to arthritis. The only balance I cannot do I’d the step so I don’t do that one. I was a runner now I walk either outside or on my treadmill, I alternate between my treadmill and ellipitical machine , I know I’m getting older but will not give up , since I have been following Mikes videos and just started the newest 30 day one, I feel better, have less pain in areas I’ve mentioned, I will never be pain free , but I alter what I do now and before I never took a rest day ,now I do , when we all get to this senior age it is important to keep going , have fun, end enjoy what you do . When seniors stop, they die. I will do this until my body says I need to stop. I also love to dance and I’m always dancing to a song that is playing, my husband laughs at me all the time , and told me young people couldn’t do what I do , I am careful , keep a log on what I do to monitor my exercise because if I hurt anywhere , my log tells me what I did the previous day, I love the results I get when I feel good, with this Corona thing it is so important to stay focused, do something everyday even if it’s stretching , my mat is my best friend, love who you are and SMILE (: results do happen with consistency.
Thank you Mike for being so awesome , you are the best!
Thanks so much for your kind comment Lynda! Keep up the fantastic work! :)
looking around for good chair exercise for myself and hubby and found this one ...its great all is explained ,not too hard to do and we both like how he does it with you in a very encouraging way , many thanks.....
Very good
Thank you so much I don't have the best gait for my age this is my first time on and I have loved doing this exercise with you. Look forward to exercising again soon.
That is so great to hear Sarah. You're so welcome, keep up the great work. Consistency is key.
Your videos are a great resource for me in my work with senior exercise programs. Thank you for your time and effort.
You're welcome Pat. Great to hear you're working with seniors ... Keep doing a great job! 🙂
Thank you so much for these seated exercises. God bless you!!
Another option this is great exercise for wheelchair users too. Thanks Mike ❤
Thank you.
Thank you
Thanks Mike for the best exercises .
You're welcome Sylvia!
Great leg workout. Recently found out I have sciatica and these leg exercises helped me to not fall off my exercise routine. Thank you!
Knee to chest exercise
This is 1 of the 7 of Mikes exercises that I do every day. But just to add a bit of humour, the 2nd exercise in this session brings to mind that saying/hymnal/song known as the " The Rock Of Ages". However what many of you do not know is that the true meaning of those words is "You have now reached the age where you must rock in your chair in order to stand. But all jokes aside, Mike what you have done for me is beyond words. I have now after my daily routine for the past 6 months been able to achieve more mobility that I have had over the past 6 years.
Mike thanks so very much for all your exercises you show us, we really appreciate it.
Thanks Mike. Challenging and enjoyable.
You're welcome James! Glad you enjoyed it!

Hello Mike. Been doing a range of your exercises for quite a few weeks now and they are so liberating. But I somehow missed these seated leg exercises which are terrific! So adding these onto my clutch .Thanks a lot. Glad i found these.
Hey June. You're very welcome! Keep it all up!

Tqsm Mike , I feel improvement by the day , my knee is better now
Great to hear Naniek!! Keep it all up!
I am so pleased to find your exercises. Pushing myself to do it daily.
Great to hear Emily! Keep it up!
I‘m recovering from concussion and the facility I‘m in is otherwise wonderful, but doesn‘t provide a physio. Thank God for you!
Thanks for these exercises. I almost gave up on being able to do what I did before my injury. They are not as simple as I first thought.
You're welcome! Keep perservering!
Thank you so much !
You are very welcome Paul.
Mike doing this exercises bings my daily routine up to 6 of your exercises. But when pushing my knees in against my fist i had to modify. I have arthritis in both hands so I used a 2 lb weight between my knees. It worked perfectly. Many thanks for all the work you do to help so many people around the world exercises....
Awesome work Allan! You're very welcome! :)
I fell at work and blew out my right knee . I refused surgery and I had no idea that it would weaken my left leg and fell and damaged my left leg .
Hopefully these exercises will help to strengthen my legs.
Will do them daily as I am having a hard time walking.
Oh I am sorry to hear this Dawn. Yes that is a great idea, if you do these exercises daily, I am sure you will see the results quickly. Please keep me informed on how you go :)
I got it thanks and keep up the great job.👍🏽
Hi Mike. Love these exercises. Boring to do my stretches and exercises all on my own. Now it feels like I have a personal trainer with me. I do a parkrun every now and then and I am an active lawn bowls player. I dont stretch and I dont warm up. Trying to do your program everyday. Just came upon your channel before the weekend. Thanks young man.
Hey Bebe. Great to hear 🙂Good to be moving with you! Keep up all the exercise you're doing! and you're more than welcome! :)
Lovely, Mike --I'm 76, still teaching what I call "YogaCise," though all my live classes with seniors ended in the pandemic... Nice corroboration, watching you . I love nuancing, re-inventing ways to move all the muscles in the body --good to be gentle, slow and BREATHING REMINDERS: BTW: it changes the brain chemistry, allows deep, balanced state -northern CA
Mike tonight I tried to get my legs up as high as you did but I'm not there yet. I will keep trying although I'm pretty close.Thank you. Good workout!!
You got this Sarah! You should be proud of your progress. Consistency is key.
Love your exercises Mike, thank you so very much 🌟
You're very welcome Teresa. Glad you like the exercises!
so good! Nice to be back. ; )
😂great job! I have L5 nerve damage in right leg and hyperextended knee. So no balance and need help learning to walk
Thanks. Enjoyed the workout.
You're so welcome Kafi! I am happy to hear.
I have tried following other exercise videos but find yours the easiest to follow and the best.
Thank you Mike!
Very helpful
AWESOME so glad I found your channel. My fav now ..!
Happy to hear lalita!
The subtitles are interfering with seeing the routine properly. Super tips!
Hey Sujen. You can turn them off by pressing the "CC" button on the bottom right of the video.
@@MoreLifeHealth Thank you!
Good work. Thx
Subtitles are added exactly where I cannot see the exercises. Especially the hands locked below the knees
Thank you for the feedback - are you able to remove the subtitles or do you require them? :)
@@MoreLifeHealth How do I remove them?
Press the "CC" button in the bottom right hand corner of the video.
Super thxs
Great workout, adding resistance bands next session :) Jan
Hope all goes well with the resistance bands next session Jan!
Great video but can hardly hear you. Essentially no audio
Thanks Mike ..have u got any stretch excuses for shins and itb...and what can I do for pain in the legs at night when I try to sleep
THANKS FOR EVERYTHINGS THAT YOU ARE DOING FOR US, BUT SOME EXERCISES WE CAN NOT SEE YOU FEET BECAUSE OF THE WRITING,
Hey Fatima, you can turn the captions off, by pressing the "CC" button at the bottom right of the video. Should do the trick! 🙂
Thanks, I don’t know why I didn’t think about it
I have a question will this help those who have trouble walking ?
It's important to get to the core reasons as to why you're having trouble walking, and work on those areas.
My knee clicks when I extend it. How do I improve it to stop clicking?
Unless you're getting pain with the clicking Patricia, this is not something to be concerned about.
@@MoreLifeHealth Thanks Michael 😊. Are these exercises cardio or strength 💪. I document on my fitness pal.

Is there a contest who can say 'Excellent work' and 'What we're gonna do' most often in a 11-minute video? And the winner is... :-D
I won with Ease Rayne! 😃
@@MoreLifeHealth :-D And this reminds me... I really need to do another seated leg exercise session now. :-D
Exercises are great but most of the time we can see your feet as writing covers your feet so very hard to follow.
Hey Kamal. There is a button on the bottom of the video that says "CC" ( Closed Captioning). Unless you read the captions, you can turn them off by pressing this button. Hope that helps! :)
Your explanation is hiding your legs positions and your legs positions are not clearly visible the viewers .show writing of your explanation at the top of screen..
Hey Venkata. The "explanation" is not mine. It is part of CZcams, and I can't choose where they go. Press the 'CC' (closed caption) button at the bottom of the video screen and they will disappear.
I simply cannot stand it when the instructor talk the entire time ,so I'm moving on.
Neither can I! 🙂
Thank you
