How did you go with this one??
I'll see you for the next exercise video.
Keep Moving, Keep Healthy and Keep Having Fun!
Really good to do 3 sets together. It's a real challenge Mike to do the balance exercise, as per my private email regarding surgery on right medius and minimus muscles (failed) this really causes pain on the upper outside of leg and hip. Should I continue pushing the stressed right leg with that particular exercise? You are doing a great service to the age challenged generation (good description😉).Thanks Rosemary
Hey Rosemary, No I wouldn't ever push into pain. I'd stop before the pain sets in and build up the amount of time you do it for, over time. You'll eventually strengthen all the muscles and the pain will decrease.. Or do a different exercise. IE feet together on a cushion and then after some time doing them, get back to this one and build it up over time again also.
It was fantastic, really liked it. It is precise and so professional thank you
Happy 2023 Michael Thank you for helping me get off to a great start. All the best to you and your family.😅💥
Cold in Somerset so did this to-day to warm me up. Thank you❄❄
Thank you for caring for senior adults and doing these videos. Would you consider one for anterior hip replacement or ITBS? I just had THR but was immediately diagnosed with ITBS. I have been using several of your videos. Again, thank you!
I just upgraded to this workout and I feel the difference. Thank you.
Happy Easter 🐇 Mike us seniors " Lifesaver," to getting us fit .😊
You too Agnes. I hope you had a great weekend!
Thank you did this again to-day. Keep young and beautiful.x
Had back issues and decided to do around 60 min. per day with a variety of your exercises. They are great and I am much improved. Thanks Mike from this senior, 79 years young,
You're welcome! Keep it up!
Thank you Mike I’m back again doing your exercises, I’ve been a little slack 😩 I find your exercises the best and easy to follow. I hope to keep up with them, as I now have fibromyalgia and think your exercises may help with my daily pain.
Nice to see you again Wendy! All the best, and keep me updated :)
Thanks for great quarantine exercises! (I know they're good all the time BUT especially now!!)
Glad you like them Haddassah :) Keep it all up!

All exercises are fabulous and. Very useful Hoping these will continue. after. the lockdown also I am 79 I am follow. all these exercises. Thank. you. so much. Thana Ilford.
You worked your magic here! Shoulder press from seated...the core strengthening is magic. No more struggling out of a chair with old man groans! Nick
You're welcome Nick! Great to hear!
I love this workout. It is quick but really gets my heart going. The sit-to-stands are a killer when you are out of shape. LOL
Good job - practice makes progress!
Another set of exercises. I follow a number of different exercises with Mike and they are all so good. Highly recommend
Glad you like them Christine! Keep up the great work! 🙂
Today I balanced on my left leg with only one wobble for 45 seconds. Right leg is fine. Finally progress. When I first started, I could balance for maybe one second. Your routines are gently stretching my muscle back into shape after five months of limping at best. Thank you again.
Great job Olive! That is a testament to your efforts. Keep it up and I look forward to hearing how you progress.
Thank you, I am getting better each time. I like the 20 minutes, not to long. 🤗
I look forward to these workouts. I've have exercised my whole life, I am 66, and turning 67 before the year is through. Holly Kamollie! And a Wow!!! Too.
Great effort Mauria! Keep it all up, and all the best with the workouts!
Love your videos. They're easy to follow and effective. What a wonderful teacher you are!
Thank you Laurie!! :) Keep up the great work!
Thanks Mike, as always . I find this video so very helpful 😁

I had a great workout , just what I needed :) Jan
Great to hear Jan!
I have a question re: balance exercises at the end. Where should I put my weight - on the back leg, equal between the legs? Thanks. Love your exercise videos.
Equal weight through both feet Judy! Glad you like the videos and keep up the good work! 🙂
Revisited this after a while, I really need to work on my stamina I seem to be struggling with this, but hopefully this was a good start. Would shorter more aerobic exercises be preferable to longer exercises with more reps ? Thanks as always Mike :) Jan
Excellent work out. I do have a question. Here in the states, we always round up. Like 5-10. You seem to do 9-18 reps. Is that customary for Australia?
Mike ,thanks for this excercies.Im 71 and started with your work up exercises as you advice..then i followed his 20 min workout video ...is that lets say 25 minutes enough ...i
or should i do a little of walking in the garden of some 20 min more....fast walk? Im having 15 kgs overweight now and started dieting as with the lockdown i was unable to have my daily brisk walk of an hour..plus being at home all day i eat more often some snack in between meals...what i know dont do.Thanks
Hey Dara! 20 Minute is a good start and you can add in other exercises also! You can work your way up to an hour. And also keep up that activity in that very nice garden of yours! Less snacks more activity! :)
@@MoreLifeHealth just saw your sms Mike..tks..just finished the leg daily balance exercises you sent by email Good
I really enjoy this routine in particular and feel I’m getting stronger. With the hip extensions, is it important to keep the foot down and pointed when pulling it back, or if you can should you lift the leg higher?
Controlled movement Debi, a bit higher is ok. toes pulled up, make sure it's working those glutes.
Im 66 and have covid, so breathign is hard right now and i don't have the energy nor motivation to do the exercises but after a week of being in bed and growing so weak i wanted to start trying to do this agaain... not sure i can.... was in hospital but they sent me home cause they have no extra beds and don't think i need to be hospitalized, being elderly and having health problems on top of this covid. suggesstions?
Send me the link to the complete senior program. Thanks
Hi Mike. One question about the last exercise on the video (the balance one): where does the weight go? on the front leg; the back leg or we should to spread between both? Thanks!
Hey Lia. For the tandem stance, aim for equal weight on both legs! 🙂
Take that
As I am am a Dizzy Bird with MS I find the standing heel to toe very hard. Is it OK to hold onto the chair? Love them all anyway!
Yes definitely. You'll still get benefits and as your balance and strength improves you can gradually progress it to no hands. This article may help morelifehealth.com/articles/balancetutorial
Managed to do the exercise after a long break.can not lift my R arm as I have a rotator cuff tear.can you suggest an exercise I can do to improve the movement of the R arm?
Good morning Michael,
I have Downloaded your 4 week eworkout. I would like to follow this program on video. How do I access this. Thank you very much.
Exercise beginner balance
Are there any of your exercises/stretches that you would NOT recommend if one has lumbar spinal stenosis (me)?
😃
Do you have dvds available
Thanks, that was great! I'm ready to head out and pull weeds! Really. ' )
Nice work Bonnie! Hope all went well!
Is it advisable to do these standing and sitting exercise if there is a kneepain
No, not if the exercises are causing pain Anita. Best to get an assessment from a Physiotherapist if this is the case. With good exercise technique and zero pain, then yes the exercises will be beneficial. 🙂
