Sir Will 🙏 Please consider doing More of these follow along video's... They not only allow perfect demonstration of the exercise but allows the person to view and correct every facet of these helpfull exercises... Very Grateful, Thankful for All you do for literally the people around the world who are viewing these video's...
@HT-Physio Sir Will thanks for the response. I'm a Night nurse 7pm-7am. I Literally Love your follow along demonstrations and was just inquiring do you offer any type of follow along workout videos like for full body etc, strengthening etc more than just what's shown on RUclips.
Im 58 and i watch you videos from Ukraine! Ive been taking care of my 84 year mom for a few month and i myself got a herniated disc L5 S1! Thank you for you videos very much!
Love this core video Will. So well demonstrated especially for people like me...a 66 year old suffering aches and pains with dodgy knees. Will be doing these daily. Just purchased your book and it's brilliant. So easy to understand and well written. Thanks Little Sue.
So pleased you liked the video! And I'm so pleased you've enjoyed my book, that is fantastic to hear - it took a lot of time and work but it was certainly worth it! Thank you so much for your kind words :)
For 3 years I've done zero exercise since giving up my job to care for mum who has dementia. I've put on weight and feel miserable. Found your channel on YT and starting to do some exercises to improve my mobility. I want to strengthen my core as I have lower back pain. I also have meralgia prothsetica so I hope exercising will help. I've ordered your book and hope it will motivate me to keep going. Motivation is the issue with me personally, possibly a lot of viewers are the same? Thank you for taking care of us over 50's (over 60's!) ❤
Hi, Will, thanks for the experiences. You were talking about breathing through our tummy. I came across another RUclips doctor stating that the best breathing is not chest breathing or belly breathing but breathing through the back so that we can keep our abdomen wall flat and tight. I also came across someone talking about breathing through the entire thoracic ring (360 front and back)....I find that breathing through the back seems to feel very soothing. The doctor said it would increase longevity
Hi Will: I came across your RUclips channel about 2 weeks ago and been doing some of your playlists. I felt better after doing the stretches etc so I bought your book today and I can’t wait for more knowledge from your book on how to still live actively even with my age, thank you. Helen
Hi Helen, I'm so pleased to hear you felt better after doing the stretches I recommended - thank you for purchasing my book, I hope you find it packed full of helpful and interesting information - wishing you all the best :)
All the way from Australia, thank you SO much for your outstanding videos. I really appreciate your generosity in sharing your knowledge and expertise. You are very easy to listen to - I enjoy you giving some clear background on the physiology before you demonstrate some exercises.
Absolutely effective in working the core without making it too difficult for a beginner as the sequential order further facilitates you progressively. Thank you, Mr Harlow.
I love this work out. I have Nick injuries and have a hard time doing a lot of the core workouts because they always want you to raise your neck. This one has been the most effective that I have ever had. Thank you. Definitely want more of your videos that we can do along with as an exercise routine until, I get them memorized
YOUR SECOND BOOK: Just learned of your updated/revised book. I just bought your former book from Amazon which I planned on giving to my husband for his birthday coming up soon. Oh well - hopefully the first book is "enough".
Thank you so much! I’ve got a severely stenotic thecal sac at L4-5 (I’m only 55, but herniated the disc 18 years ago) and I know I need to strengthen my core, but couldn’t seem to find any exercises that didn’t hurt way too much. This is doable and I can feel it actually working!
I like how I can lie down throughout for this core training 😂 Many abdominal core training resulted in shoulder and back pain and puts me off. I felt good completing this entire routine with you. You are indeed a good teacher bcos of your clear instructions and demo. However, I’m not sure when I should inhale and exhale with each move. Thank you Will. Looking forward to more videos where we can exercise together.
Thank you so much for your extremely valuable exercises you so generously share. I am 66 and had a shoulder injury at work a year ago, I have lost a lot of condition over the last 12 months and just want to be fit and well and pain free as I was before. While doing these core exercises I am trying to keep good form, I know my core is activated but I'm tensing my neck, I am keeping it on the pillow but i can feel it straining. Will, how can I make sure I keep my neck relaxed, I think this is an issue with me with different types of exercises not just these core ones.
I love that it is a video that we can do with you. Follow the video and get the 10min exercise instead of just getting the exercises separately and not knowing how to follow from 1 to another. Now, if you do more of these, I can schedule a 30min exercise by combining different types of 10min exercises...do you catch the hint? Love you❤
That was tough! 53 year-old truck driver, been practicing qigong for many years, but like to mix things up a bit. I have been adding a couple of your routines since discovering your channel a few weeks ago. I've been following the seated hips and core routine and have added this 10 minute routine for variation. Question: I plan over the next few months to add your Beginner Full Body Strength Workout, and Best Dumbbell Exercises, and the Best Way To Improve Flexibility (NOT Stretching). Do you recommend practicing the Do These 3 Things BEFORE You Exercise routine beforehand? I don't attend a gym or anything like that. Thanks for the posts. This stuff works for me!
Ailsa, good luck! I also have a hiatal hernia diagnosis from my gastroenterologist, wherein he described a bit of my stomach had squeezed up above my diaphragm. I used to do classical singing and have been meaning to get back to "squawking" where no one else has to hear to see if that will help restore at least some of the integrity of my diaphragm, but oh how life interferes! Anyway, that kind of singing "from the diaphragm" actually requires a lot of core and leg strength. So anyway, I would check with your gastroenterologist and then maybe touch base with a physical therapist if you feel uncertain about what would be safe and effective for you. Meanwhile, you could look up a few breathing exercises to get yourself started. I have yet to check with a specialist before I take a slow deep breath, hold it for a few seconds, and slowly exhale. 😂
❤Thank you so very much Will, I did this routine yesterday along with you! Love Love the video . Helping older brother after his surgery so not staying as active as I used to? And Im feeling so out of shape. And this and a lot of your other videos are a life saver . Anyways my abdominal area is a bit sore but, a good sore. Do you have any videos on stretching abs legs etc. after workout routines?? Much 💕 Love! Thank you for helpful knowledgeable videos.😍
Just for future reference, this would have been easier to discern what you were doing if you’d been wearing a lighter coloured tee shirt. Sadly your black tee blended into your dark table. 😊 Worthwhile content though!
9:38. “squidge” almost makes my belly fat sound cute😂. Great exercises, Ive downloaded this one. Thanks, well explained and exercises at a good speed so I can follow along.
I have my 6 month appointment with my GP on Tuesday I'll bring up then. I have experienced hard to breath on a number of occassions expecially I need to lay flat for various physical tests.
I am 72 i gave a trainer at the gym to get me started . He has studied some physio and is a certified strength trainer . He has me doing msny of your exercises . I told him i would rather work on ghe machines, his reply ,thes exercises work more of my joints , that is the reason i find them hard .. the machines do not use as many of my joints . I hope thus is good info.
I regularly watch your vidoes, practice few of them sincerely. Find them pretty helpful. How frequently can one practice this particular routine safely?
Can I use these core exercises with a recovering herniated disk? I really need to rebuild my core and am just wondering. Love your channel, I am subscribed. Thanks for your expertise. 😊
Hi Will, I’m always cautious doing core-exercises because I have had several inguinal hernia’s and am afraid that core-exercises give a risk to get more. Are the exercises in this video (rather) safe?
Great video, easy to follow! I have Diastasis recti and I'm wondering if I should keep on with the core strengthening or can the exercise be modified to work around and improve the condition?
Hi Will, is using a rebounder safe for women over 55? It has a bar to hold onto so you have less likelihood of falling. Just wondering your thoughts on the spine.
Hello Will, I will be having L hip replacement surgery. What kind of Exercises should I be doing to get ready for a great surgery and have a better recovery?
Hey Will New subscriber here... Don't know if you have any advice/exercises for helping to relieve tennis elbow? Would love your thoughts on this. Have had a look back through previous content but couldn't see anything. Many thanks Trev 👍
Sleep apnea only occurs during sleep and is not a lung/ breathing problem, but caused by blockage of the airway. Do you mean it was hard to coordinate breathing with these movements? If so, just keep remembering to breathe and don’t hold your breath. Some find it helps to count while you inhale, then exhale and count and repeat. If your lungs cannot draw in or expel air when you’re awake or lying down like in these exercises, you’d better see your doctor ASAP

Very very easy to follow instructions! Thank you for your videos and that you are not using any music with them is so appreciated!
So pleased you found the video easy to follow, that's great! Wishing you all the best :)
How true! Music can be an unnecessary distraction sometimes.
Oh yeah! No noise and irritating beats in our old ears😂
@@marietjie2995 lol
Outstanding core exercises. As a Pilates teacher of many years, these exercises are used in class warmups.
You are an excellent educator.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
I'm swayed backed & my back doesn't ho completely flat. The only time I can get flat is to bring my knees up, feet flat..
Im 58 and i watch you videos from Ukraine! Ive been taking care of my 84 year mom for a few month and i myself got a herniated disc L5 S1! Thank you for you videos very much!
I'm sorry to hear about your herniated disc - I hope my videos can offer some helpful guidance for your recovery!
Great demonstration and explanation Will!!!
Thanks for the care you provide to us seniors ❤
Always happy to help - thank you for supporting my channel!

Great exercises, most ‘core’-exercises I found till now were hurting my neck. Like this I can keep my neck comfortable. Thanks Will!

Hi! I’m m 54 . This is the best set for strenght of muscles that sustain the spine? Thanks!
Awesome!
Thank you!
Question do you do all these exercises in one sitting or do you work on one for a while then move to the next exercise. Thanks for the videos
Can I use these core exercises with a recovering herniated disk? I really need to rebuild my core and am just wondering. Love your channel, I am subscribed. Thanks for your expertise. 😊

Great ,lesson thank you. Question, sometimes a see this type of core work done with a neutral spine, what are your thoughts on that?
Big fat thank you 🌞♥️
Mr Will if you don't mind asking, these exercises are just for people over 50? I'm younger and I wonder if is ok for me?
Simply amazing 👏
Glad you think so!
Dear Will! Would you, pls, show a routine for NON-beginners 🤓 I am 63 by the way
Thanks. I stacked a cord of wood in 1 go, 3 days ago & my abs still ache
Hi Will, is using a rebounder safe for women over 55? It has a bar to hold onto so you have less likelihood of falling. Just wondering your thoughts on the spine.
Feel it in my back more should I revert back to the start to gain more core awareness
Hello Will, I will be having L hip replacement surgery. What kind of Exercises should I be doing to get ready for a great surgery and have a better recovery?
I'm trying to get hold of your book in South Africa, any idea's?
Hey Will
New subscriber here...
Don't know if you have any advice/exercises for helping to relieve tennis elbow? Would love your thoughts on this. Have had a look back through previous content but couldn't see anything.
Many thanks

Hi there - thank you for subscribing! I have added your suggestion to my list of future video recommendations - thank you!
@@HT-Physio Thanks Will, looking forward to it.👍
Is this routine safe for women who have had their uterus removed?
I wonder if this also burns a bit of bellyfat ...
My glutes tighten up when I attempt theses exercises
Can I do these with a horizontal meniscus tear (I've just got my MRI done and the report came in today... not very happy about it)?
Tank you❤
You're welcome :)
Dala jsem sledování.... Vašich videí ale nejsou zde české titulky. Neumím anglicky 😔 a nerozumím Vám
I found it hard to breath while doing these. Could that be because of my sleep Apnea
Find out about obstruction in your air way or is it your pillow? keep at it.
Sleep apnea only occurs during sleep and is not a lung/ breathing problem, but caused by blockage of the airway. Do you mean it was hard to coordinate breathing with these movements? If so, just keep remembering to breathe and don’t hold your breath. Some find it helps to count while you inhale, then exhale and count and repeat. If your lungs cannot draw in or expel air when you’re awake or lying down like in these exercises, you’d better see your doctor ASAP
Hi
These exercises are good for herniated disc or sciatica?? Please reply
As he says repeatedly, ask your doctor first if you have any problems - in this case back problems
💖❤️🙏💖❤️
