I have been told I need a new hip,I'm 67and been fit and slim all my life ,I don't want an operation so I'm trying to do exercise to help...🤔
I can say that Matt's videos have helped me tremendously. I do yoga regularly and while my balance and overall health are decent, I've aways had varying degrees of knee pain and I've never been able to squat because of that pain. My balance was also off because of that pain. I've been following Matt's videos for a while now and can attest that the muscles around my knees have gotten stronger. With that and the other targetted exercises he recommends, my balance has gotten so much better and I can now do a full Asian squat and climb stairs easily. I can't believe the difference this has made in my life as a full time caregiver to my dad who is wheelchair bound and in his 90s. Thank you Matt for all you do! You are a blessing!
WOW. Thank you so much for sharing this story! 🙏
This my reply to Matts encouraging response to my original comment.
Thanks for noticing my comment. Your videos have changed my thoughts on fitness, especially staying strong after getting to 70. At first I found your videos really hard to follow. About a year ago I changed things up, setting goals and focusing on a small set of daily exercises to achieve them. I focus on the squat because it has made camping fun again. Sleeping on the ground etc. means getting up and down - a lot. I still fall far short of using the squat in real life, but practicing it has helped out getting up and down. Also I discovered I couldn’t pick up my motorcycle after a tip-over. This was because I couldn’t do a lunge. I needed an exercise program that would cover the “little things” before I could even consider weight training again. Working on my balance was one of those “little things.” I now have a set of 4 exercises, each one an Upright Health routine. The balance stuff you added recently replaced my static one-leg. The 3x a day lets me mentally focus on using core muscles first. Whether I do them hard, easy, or in between I visualize them in great detail. The thing about your balance videos is that they focus on success rather than failure. Standing one one leg as long as I can means the exercise always ends in failure. Your routine always ends in success, even though while doing it I feel my balance falter. The routine always ends successfully because I manage to catch myself, and every dab is part of that success. By clenching my glutes, pulling my shoulders down, and using that routine you suggested for fixing a chicken neck means that at the very least I work on my basic posture 3x day. Result to date? I’m about ready to get started on weights, and have made major improvements in managing my bike.
I am a 68 yr old female. Always healthy & active, so I was thrown off balance (😂) when 3 yrs ago I stupidly over exerted my back moving rock. Still trying to power thru it for the next yr. Sought treatment, a humbling & frustrating experience. Still in pain but improved. Your balance videos are a great, as I discover my need to strengthen muscles supporting the back. Thank you!
Sharing my story here: I've struggled with balance since I was a kid. I've twisted my ankles too many times and I've always been clumsy.
I worried about it, thinking "if this is the case now that I'm young, it must be horrible when I'm older... I'll fall down and break some bones, for sure".
So I've always been experimenting with balance exercises and trying my best. And while that helped a little bit, the only thing that has truly helped me was switching to barefoot shoes. In a matter of weeks I noticed a big improvement, I even started looking forward when walking on the street instead of looking at the floor all the time to see where I was stepping.
After one year of barefoot shoes, my whole posture has improved, my feet have grown a lot (I even have an arch now) and my legs are stronger than ever. No more struggles with balance. I'm almost 40, by the way.
I hope this will inspire and help someone in their journey to a healthier life.
which brand did u buy?
@@zezeland7 I have a few: Belenka, Vivobarefoot, Xero Shoes, Shapen, Freet, Tikki...
I like Tadeevo shoes
What sort of protection do barefoot shoes provide against uneven surfaces, small rocks, broken glass, nails etc?
@@toby9999 you feel them. Because of that and the freedom to move your feet in a natural way, you develop a reflex and the capacity to move your feet quickly to adapt to the terrain.
I had a friend who slipped on ice steps while enter the house, but he di a backflip and landed on his feet. Don't know if that was intentional, but I saw it with my own eyes and was impressed
Thank you for idea of changing all the different standing leg positions.
I lost my balance today on a hike but i recovered rasily😀. My knees didn't wobble, my leg was strong enough to support me as I regained my balance. Functional strength is the bomb diggity!
Thank you for all of these tips and variations. You make it fun and it helps to explore and gently push the limits of my aging body. 😊
Thanks for sharing, please don’t forget about older people 💜😊 5:15
Yes, I got into my late 50s. I noticed I was losing my balance. Never realized how easy you could lose it now. I'm working on it because I've fallen several times do. Thank God. I never broke anything but very painful when your Fall
I really like these exercises. The thing about this video is that it clarifies the reason to go beyond the static stand-one-leg drills: improved range of motion, improved muscular development. I switched off my static stuff last week and was surprised to find out how much work I needed whenever my back foot was not directly behind my front foot. In this video bend-at-the-knees/ bend at the hip,variations make a lot of sense. I try to do this one leg stuff 3 times per day. The changed positions promise to make my work less monotonous, etc. PS: I know Matt always encourages 2 times per week when starting out. I think this particular work is best done at least once per day. Just starting out stand on two legs back to front, but weight on only front. Then take notice of where and when you feel weak and unbalanced. The add in the more active work, at very short durations, minimizing exertion in favor of going slowly and noting the weaknesses and sticky points. . Eventually 3x per day is more like a change of pace from standing up or sitting in a chair. Gives you something to do while you change your posture, etc. Thanks so much Matt! PPS: getting better and better at my Asian squat!
Nice ideas and observations. ABSOLUTELY feel free to do these frequently at a dose and pace that feels good for you. I just don't want people to get the idea that they should go from 0-100mph in their first two days. Gotta gradually get your body used to things.
But for sure sitting in chairs all days NEEDS daily undoing!
Love the options you show here. I work with seniors, and they need choices.
spent most of the video thinking: your little needs sidewalk chalk... gramma brain, lol Thank you for the video, have an awesome weekend.
Your videos are so exciting & fun. Your teachings are more than excellent! Greetings from Brazil!😊
I have been through a lot of rehab. New knees, benign positionsl vertigo, age 74 yours is the best routine I have seen. Will get back to you thanks. You should do a video on hand strength also. Thank you
Here's the closest thing I've got: czcams.com/video/hpwsLw2jBOw/video.html
Blessings to CoraJean and her husband.
I thought I knew a lot about exercise but your videos and podcasts have really opened my eyes and helped me see things in a different light! I must have listened to and watched almost all of them by now and it has been very helpful.
I have tried to apply your general principles also to my issue with thumb arthritis and find it a bit difficult.
Would you consider making a video about this topic?
How can I strengthen and align my thumb?

I have a problem with my left side and I find great difficulty doing these exercises correctly but I will try to do them . thank U
Hey Matt! I have a client with severe osteoporosis and severe Sarcopenia. She is 5’9 inches tall and only weights 99lbs and 66years old. Her balance is very scary she has a hard time being steady on her feet. As she walks she waivers all over the place. She looks like a weeping willow. We work on balance and strength a lot. I have a lot of rehab back ground but I get scared that she will have a big fall. She is on the 4year medication for osteoporosis because her z-score was -2. She is also a type 2 diabetic, so she also has poor metabolic health. I love your videos and just was wondering if you have any input. I do a lot of research on bone health, muscle health, overall I truly study a lot on metabolic health etc. Thank you for listening Matt! I truly appreciate all the time you put into your awesome videos.
Since I get bored easily ;) I try to incorporate balance practice wherever I can. Ex. Putting on shorts, I put one leg in, hold my leg out or up, standing on the other leg, for a count of 10.
mo‘ better blues reference👌🏽see what you did there😉
Can you please show exercises for iner knee pain. Please. How to make that pain go away. Thanks
hi sir
i need your answer to my question. I do 125 kg hip thrust to 12 reps. easily. I am trying to fix my anterior pelvic tilt. i am 19 years old male. my height is 173cm and weight is 74 kg. should I keep strengthening my glutes? i do abs crunch on 30kg on abs crunch machine also. generally, I don't think that cause of my anterior pelvic tilt is weak glutes and abs muscle. what do you think should I keep strenghtening them?
And....be careful of the two death traps in the background...probably not good for good balance.
Matt, what is your opinion around walking backwards (as many Asians do, as part of their exercise), with a view to assist in rewiring the brain, to gain balance improvements, as you age?
When I first started trialling it, I had to have my head turned backward, facing down, so I could see where I was walking, to keep myself in a straight line. After some time I am now able to walk backwards, keeping head in a neutral position, & focus on a point, in the background, to walk straight.
Love you contents. Thanks 👍
It's a great idea. Start safely (as you did) and reap the benefits!
how can i contact to you sir?
are u from Hawaii??
