Mike is the only trainer who doesn't make me get down on the floor for every exercise. Thanks.
This, for 83 year old senior, beginning again to walk, is perfect, and, best “for seniors” I’ve known since 1988, when I, myself, was teaching in retirement homes. Thank You very much.
If you're older like me (70) and are noticing a weakness in your legs this is a great place to start regaining your leg strength. Follow along the best you can and if you stay with it you will soon start to see a difference. I know I did. Don't give up old timers, you can do it.
Well done keep up the good work, I Am doing the same as you.
I'm also 70 and have just found this routine so I will be doing it regularly. Mike is a great tutor.

Found you because my sister in law fell today and it reminded me of the dangers of falling as we age… and it is preventable by strengthening our lower body! Thank you Mike for posting this easy sequence. I sent it to her and she feels she can do it. You will never know the full impact of your video in people’s lives.
I did this workout with you. My lower back feels better!
Thanks Mike appreciate. God bless you. Yes we want more... Tq 🌹
my mom is 85 and fell last night because her legs gave out on her. Fire rescue came and assessed her, thank God no hip fracture, or anything like that. She was fine. I am going to start having her do these exercises
Thankyou. I think these exercises are fabulous & really help strengthen the entire body. Great stuff.
That’s enough to make us think about working out. How many of us oldies fall and break hips and worse. We can still built muscle, and strengthen our lower body to prevent falls. Plus it keeps us out of nursing homes. 😉 I’m all for that. 🙏 Thanks Mike.
Just come back from a weeks holiday. My knees were so bad as I hadnt done these special exercises, but after this one I'm back on track! Thanks , Mike. You are definitely heaven sent! Jennie
These exercises have been a great help. I really struggled when i first started and could only manage three or four of the standing exercises. I've just gone through the entire video and managed to do everything and keep up with Mike. So, if you find them a bit difficult to start with just keep going and you will get there. Thanks Mike!
Super.I am 77 and I could do it .Thanks.
Had shoulder surgery and was limited in my exercise overall. I started to feel weakness in my legs, which I'd never felt before. These exercises help because I feel like they're aimed at strengthening the muscles that I need to strengthen.
Love this exercise I use it twice a day and have seen a great improvement on lower body, less pain and more movement. Thanks Mike.
Great to hear Rena! Keep up your good effort!
This is excellent. I didn't get through all of them because of my arthritis but I will keep trying
Thank you, Mike!
Thank you, these excerices are just what I needed, I am 84 and was getting very weak, I feel better just with the 1st session. It will now be part of my daily routine.
😊
Thank you Mike for being the partner everybody needs for doing exercises!
Great to hear Ruth. And you're more than welcome! 🙂
I have back problems and knee replacements… And have been doing these exercises for a couple weeks now and have felt wonderful… My knees were stiffening up and after doing these exercises they feel awesome… I wanna thank you for all the help you’ve given me… Without you I don’t think things would’ve been possible… I will do my exercise faithfully every day and I will keep on doing them… Thank you again
I felt positive results after the first time I did your exercises, Michael. Thank you for the work you do; the exercises provide hope that we can improve our aging bodies. Keep sharing your discipline with us- we need you. Thanks again. Danella
Great to hear Danella. Thanks for sharing! :) and I'm not going anywhere! More to come!😃
Thanks again Mike, for your great exercise’s they are helping me with a long term knee injury.
I actually enjoy doing these exercises. There very do-able for my age group. 😊
I been working out with you a week tomorrow! I’m so excited that I can do these! I’m 75 and I want to be flexible. Next month I’ll try the upper body exercises you do. Thanks for choosing ones that a senior can really do!
^w^d^^

Mike’s exercises are the very best, he’s very caring. This is a great work out, and very do-able for an oldie like me. Thanks heaps, Mike 😉
Thank you so so much. I left it too long without exercising. Your workout is simple varied and excellent. Thank you so much
You're welcome!! Never too late to get started and all the best! 🙂
Hi Mike, THANKS! You videos are great! Easy to follow, with results. I loved my yoga before lockdown, but tricky online. So after a year, nearly, I’m getting back in shape with you - and will continue. Nick
Hey Nick. You're very welcome! Great to hear you're getting back in shape. Keep it up!
Thank you Mike... have a blessed day!
I'm so glad I found you ,,, my balance is terrible, I've had hip surgery, I've fall so easy ,thank you please keep up good work,, also enjoy video on feet excersises .....
Eased tightness in my hip!Exactly what seniors need! Love it!
Fantastic to hear Christine! Keep up the great work!
Mike I thought I was in great shape for my age “73” until I went on vacation with 4 younger sisters. I tried this video and did well… except my calves are weak and I could not get up and down out of the chair with my arms crossed as many times as required. I’m sticking with this video and pray I improve after less than a week with some walking. If you other suggestions I’m open to any! Thanks
This is a fantastic exercise program for leg strengthening. Thank you so much Mike!
Thank you so much - I am 81 years old and feeling great after following your steps.
Thanks , I'll do these again tomorrow.
Great to hear Linda & Ernie R! :)
Mike, so appreciate your workouts, this particular one is great for my two new knees, ouch! Thanks Mike, and all good things and big blessings to you and yours for this coming year… 👍
Glad you like them, you are very welcome. Thank you for the blessings, wishing you the same too :)
Your exercises are well adapted for seniors, thank you.
Thanks Mike for this video! They are easy to follow. Great help to seniors like me.
Just what I have been looking for exercise from the chair.Thanks from Anne
You're welcome Anne! :)
Thank you. At 65 I thought I was quite fit but now as I'm not going to the gym I am sooo stiff. This definitely helps.
My pleasure Julie. Glad you find the exercises helpful!
I’ve been diagnosed with Lateral Hip Pain and I love ALL your leg exercises they are so helpful
Excellent exercises for seniors, only discovered in lockdown. Thankyou.
This is a really helpful video, thanks. One thing I'd like to suggest: always let us know what sort of chair is needed for a workout - with arms, without arms, and so on. It's useful to get set up before the session starts. In the case of this video, I discovered by the end that I didn't need a chair with arms.
Just found you exercises. We are in our mid 70’s and walk a lot but I get patella femoral pain despite orthotics. Have started your daily knee strengthening exercises. Stay tuned! Thank you Mike. 👍🏻
My pleasure Sue! Best of luck with the knee strengthening exercises! :)
Love the exercises my mind is young now I can keep up with my grand kids and they love it.god bless you.nothing worst than sore legs.thank you so much
Wonderfull!! I feel so much better after doing these exercises. I did them a while ago & couldn't find you but I persisted and I am so happy I did. Thank you!
some of the best exercise for seniors i have seen and well explained, which helps and encorage to stay with it for strength/fexibility/mobility!!! Thanks sooo much!!!!
Thank you heaps for your comment Sylvia! :)
Thank you. These exercises are very good and easy to do every day! I enjoyed doing these together with you.
You're welcome Anna! Great to hear you are having success with them and I enjoyed doing them with you also! :) ! Keep them up all up!
Thanks for all the work you put in to help us keep healthy and flexible. Enjoy the exercises
Thank you. Lower back stretching is easier whilst standing.
This exercise helps a lot in strenthening my legs and reduce my knee pains. I am doing this for almost a month now and, continue doing it every day. Thank you very much. God bless you.
Great work Lily! Good to hear!🙂
Great work out for my knees. One week and i can feel the difference,

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Just what I need as a de-conditioned senior citizen. I will be checking out other videos you may have.
I'm a Retired Home Health Aide, I thank the physical therapist who taught me how to work with my patients. I'm 67 years old and use these Excerise everyday, and I thank my nurses too that taught us about safety for seniors. Now that I'm a senior citizen I take advantage of my skills. Thanks 😊 so much!!
Love 😍 this
Excellent. In HS and College I was a soccer player and skier but at 77, having had chemo and radiation for cancer, all my muscles are flab by but I find leg muscles to be most important in order to keep balance.
thanks my child
Suggest how many times? 78 yo
I'm so glad I found your leg exercises Mike, they are the first set I've been able to stick at and feel like I've had a work-out that finally suits me. I'm just about 79 y.o. going on 21 but the body is letting me down with OA in wrists and R Knee. You are one good egg, and thanks a big bunch.
Thanks Mal! All the best, and keep up the great effort! :)
Thank you, Mike. I enjoy your videos and the workouts are effective without being overly much. I hope others will go to your website and make a donation so you can continue to help the senior community.
My pleasure Janice! Glad you enjoy the videos and thank you!
Thank you sooo much for this video and all the others. I love ❤ exercising along with you. This helps my regular PT. You are great!!! 😊
Thank you very much. God bless u .very nice exercises.
You're welcome Sangeeta! Thank you!
I've been doing your exercises every morning since lockdown and am finding them very beneficial. Iris Lee aged 91.
Hey Iris :) That's great to hear! Keep up the hard work!
Very good excercises for seniors.
I am so glad to have come across your channel. I really appreciate that you actually do the exercise in full vs. saying to do it 3x 30 sec., etc. I will also share with my parents and see if they'll do it too! Thank you again, much love from Las Vegas, NV!
I wish to send my profound thanks having followed your exercises it’s no exaggeration to state life has more meaning for me once again.
They are giving me the necessary greater confidence and better ability to walk, which I was losing to fear of crossing roads and transcending pavement undulations. Thanks once again and although not life changing yet it hopefully will be as I continue with your excellent lower body fitness regime.
I damaged my legs due to an infection. My weight once not an issue now is, These videos has been so helpful in rebulding my leg strength and helping lose weight in a gentle way. It's good not just for seniors but for people with other condittions.
@L
Congratulations on your improving health.
Just keep putting one foot in front of the other,
And don’t look back.
Will pray for you.
🙏🙏
Recovering from recent covid so really appreciated this slower strength leg workout!
Tried this for the first time for my hip and feel less stiff already. What a great exercise sequence. Thank you so much.
I just 💘 those exercises. I havent worked out in a while and felt so much better after working out. I sit alot and Im going to start going to the gym. Im 70 yrs young !
Great work Sophia! 70 years young - many, many, many amazing, fit and healthy years ahead of you! :)
I just love it. Thank you.
63yrs old here and I think this guy's great, I do a lot of his exercises because I feel it in all the right places but none of his movements are too difficult. Plus, he's very encouraging.
I’m 76 and go to a senior’s fitness class, run by the City of Toronto, twice a week. It’s called Gentle Fit, but believe me it’s far from ‘gentle’! We do 30 mins of aerobics then a lot of the chair exercises shown here. We use weights, bands and balls. People even come with their walkers and do variations of the exercises, even in the depths of our Canadian winters which can be a challenge!!
Amazing to hear Angela. Great work! Although I have never experienced anything like a Canadian winter, I can imagine how tough getting out to exercise would be! Keep it all up! 🙂
Angela Rickett this sounds a lot like the Silver Sneaker class I go to. I think I’ll use this channel for when I can’t make it to my class.

Great to hear Edgle! Keep it all up! :)
Regular exercise has become like brushing my teeth:) must do so I feel freshened up:) Strong legs to keep me moving. These are ones most all of us can reasonably do. Thank you so much, Mike. You are inspiring 🎉
Mike thank you so much for all these videos. My husband and I both enjoy your workouts. We are doing them during the covid-19 stay-at-home.
You're welcome Luara! Great to hear! :)
Thanks Mike. Have really been feeling my body-age lately and I hate it because my mind is still young and fun 😁 Finally found a good stretch workout that's enjoyable and effective. My daily go-to 👏
Whol body chair exetrces

Great to hear Nirmala!
Yes I'm 82 yrs old with spinal stiniois, I find ur exercise very strengthens, my lower back. thank u so much.
Love this leg strengthening workout. Started last August to help my knee problems, and found it also eases my sciatica (herniated L4/5) disc! Thank you.
You're welcome Zena. Glad you have found the workout helpful!
I am in an independant living facility, Grande Avenue Village, in Cochrane, Alberta
Our recreation director, Jessica leads us with some of these exercise moves usually 5 times a week. Occasionally, she's not available due to family obligations, and then she provides these exercises by video i our exercise room.
Thank you!!
You're Welcome Alda!
Like it for strengthening my legs and back..God bless!
Thank you, Mike. These are great exercises that I am doing by facetime with my 80-year-old mom. I appreciate you.
I’m going to workout everyday, I like Thank you very much 😘
You're welcome Dolores! Great to hear! :)
In the Spring I thought old age had set in and I'd be hobbling around for the rest of my life. A few months of your exercises has put a spring back into my step and my life.
This is great to hear Chris! Keep up the great work!
