In my 20s, long before the internet, I never imagined that near 70, I would be eagerly watching this video. But here I am, trying to get stronger and lose weight. And both knees reminding me that I'm not 25 anymore. You're doing us a great service. Thank you,
I am 68 yes, I'm angry £ jealous of your thighs my thighs used to have after my stroke&accident now my right leg is very weak ,after watching you Will Harlow and❤ a few others my doctors says I should have a hip replacement but all of are against it even my physio now my legs are very weak I just drop like got no bones or muscles what is your advise walking is very bad now d❤rom 7 K - 15 K now 3k steps is very hard am scared to walk
Dear ❣️ you are a good inspiration 😂 my full day goes doing exercises a plate is inserted in my wrist i have to keep it moving every hour my ortho has said ❤ with love from India 💞 🎉
I'm trying to play pro tennis at 47 years old. And be at least top 50 in n the world. Hope your page helps me to get there thank you. @@arthritisadventure
Alyssa, I just did your 45 minute walk with your in law grandmother. I am 63y and I just have to say, the video was Great, and you grandmother is AMAZING!!! 87y and TOTALLY Able to keep up!! She and You are So Inspirational!! Thank you! I couldn't find that video on my phone, so I thought I'd leave the comment here. Thank you. 🎉🎉🎉
Oh Alyssa, thank you for showing us these squat variations. I am having knee discomfort. I had physical therapy done and it helped a bit. My time ran out. My therapist gave me workouts to do at home. I will use some of your squats and be consistent with them. I come to the realization that being a senior I will need to do them happily ever after 😊
Thank you, Alyssa for all the video content. My goal is to travel more, and sometimes solo. I find that chair squats, the balance and strength building exercises have really helped me with my confidence to tackle walking thru airports and dealing with the dreaded child height toilets without the fear of being stopped by OA hip flareups. Being able to do some of your videos before sitting in a prolonged position on a flight with very limited space, has made my travel goal more possible...more comfortable. While I can walk up to a mile thru an airport, if need be, flareups do happen. So that is when I dig into your toolbox for movements that I can do on the spot to help ease pain. I'll take the progress I see for now, and I remain hopeful that building hip strength will improve my ability to increase my walking duration and joy of travel.
I’ve developed pain in my knee caps over the past couple of years. I always had an issue with my left knee following an injury. But it was a long time ago, so I thought maybe it has heeled. After overdoing the stairs I have been dealing with knee pain on a regular basis. Your squat variations give me hope I can work out and strengthen my legs without pain. I also hope I won’t need a knee surgery down the road.
Alyssa, I have been having some pain in my knees lately at 73. I am so fortunate to find your channel. I have been avoiding lunges and squats but just completed your video on squat variations. I took it easy but got through it and feel good. If I keep up with these, will my knees eventually become stronger? Thank you for your great exercises!
I love doing squats, it really strengthens your legs, but it kills my injured knees and ankles. Exercising in water helps tremendously, but it’s not always possible. I’ll try again and go slowly , these exercise give me more options. Thanks for this video, I love it.
Thank you for your help. I’ve done PT after various surgeries. I am very athletic but still find your videos very helpful. I have often neglected stretching. You are very thorough and explain concepts well.
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve had knee surgery on both legs, foot surgery and broke my leg years ago. Thru all that, I lost so much strength in my legs and can’t squat anymore. The hard part is getting started once you lost the ability and this video is going to help me build up to do squats again. I’m looking forward to using your videos as I age.
@arthritisadventure that's something I really need as I have one leg larger. But the thinner leg is stronger than the bigger leg. Can't understand why, either.
Fantastic video, thanks so much! I have knee chondromalacia and hope pain. I have a few questions: 1. How many of those can I do per workout? 2. I heard somewhere that you shouldn’t squat at 90 degrees, since is the angle with more tension, and that one should squat right before 90, or past it, is this true? 3. I also have ankle arthritis, as well as plantar fasciitis and pain right below the ball of my feet and on the heel, what shoes would you recommend for walking? (I already saw your video but with all I have it was not clear as of which ones could be better). thanks a lot!
Hi, I need knee replacement surgery. I’m 73, and due to bad advice, I didn’t get the operation and have limped for 4 years. My gait is unstable, and I have in the last year begun moving and walking very slowly, as if I were in my 90s. I am getting the surgery soon. Will I ever have a normal gait and will I move and walk more quickly again? I feel as if I am 100 years old. Love your videos and that you help people…thanks from my heart.
Thank you for showing us these exercises. Now I know I have osteoarthritis. All along I thought I had a torn groin muscle and I did not exercise that part of my body. Now I will. 😀
Excellent video! Your sincerity in wanting to help your audience, shines in this video as it does in all your videos. Thank you so much for working so hard in putting this video together. By showing us these different variations, I now have confidence that I can find one that I'll be able to comfortably perform.
Hi thanks for the exercises trying to strengthen and flex my lower body and getting some joy! Just wondering if you have tips for an almost immobile left ankle ?
Excellent! I liked description and bullet points summarizing which variations are best for which symptom (tight ankl3s, front of knee pain, etc) I also appreciate summary list of the 10 variations at the end of the video.
The Sumo is best for me. I have arthritis, patellar pain and pain on outside of my knees.I find lunges impossible(so I don't try) I'm getting stronger in the glutes which helps.
I have a non operative torn meniscus behind my left knee. I don’t go very low when I do squats and keep my feet fairly close together. I also keep my weight on the very backs of my heals. Do you have any suggestions on how not to stress the injury? I don’t do any exercises for my quads, except walking slowly on a treadmill gradually to the highest incline position. I’m scared I’m going to undo all the hard work I’ve done to improve. Thank you, you are so inspiring. I have a pool ( l live in Florida) so I will definitely be doing those pool squats 👍.
Hello, it’s me again. No worries! I only have positive things to say. Congratulations on earning your doctorate in physical therapy! I assume you have a DPT… your bio with this video states that you’re a “doctor of physical therapy”. I think that is impressive and it gives me more confidence when watching your videos. This is important because there are millions of flakes & frauds on YT, as you probably know. You seem legit, genuinely interested in exercise and mobility, and enthusiastic about what you do. Good job! 🏆 🏅
That exercise three with the exercise band around the top of the knees is brilliant. This looks like a glute muscle exercise. I will be doing this in future as my knees tend to veer in because of some degeneration . Many thanks for this excellent video
@Alyssa Thank you! This was very helpful as I suffer from Posterior Tibial Tendonitis in my left ankle. Can you suggest a better squat option for toned thighs as opposed to muscular thighs? Plz & Ty #MSLATIA
I was diagnosed with righ knee osteoarthritis. I had arthroscopic knee surgery in june 2020. So i need this to strengthen both my quads front, and back , and my inner thighs. And glutes muscles. Had righ spinal fusion surgery in march of this year. So i need to keep my lower body strong.
I've had two orthopedic surgeons tell me to avoid jumping, running, squats and lunges due to osteoarthritis. They've then referred me to Physical therapists who tell me to do squats and lunges. It's so confusing! I stopped doing the squats when I got crepitus-squeaky knee. I want to start again but am afraid of more damage. Thank you for the variations.

Wow, this is the first time I’ve done squats without knee pain. I thought it was just inevitable. Thank you!!!
You're so welcome! I'm glad you like the video!

Plenty of exercises to work on here to try and build up my leg strength and hopefully help me walk with less pain. Thanks Alyssa.
You're so welcome!
I've been doing the modified single leg squat and I feel zero knee pain. I'm so happy!! Thank you thank you thank you.
So glad you've seen such a benefit!
You are just what I was looking for! I've always struggled with squats and not even in PT was I introduced to different ways of squatting. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
I can't thank you enough for this. I have knee pain with squats, and I really want to strengthen my legs. Thank you so much 💕

Love your quads
Lots of hard work. Working on a leg specific video coming up to show a glimpse into my routine.
@arthritisadventure that's something I really need as I have one leg larger. But the thinner leg is stronger than the bigger leg. Can't understand why, either.
@@arthritisadventure I would love to see how your work out for your quads. I need strong quads for my knee.
Good ideas. I've got a hip thing going on that makes hip hinging/squatting tough. But I'm going to try these and see what's what. Thanks!
Glad you like the ideas! Thanks for watching.
Love everything you share! 😊

I have mild CP and femoral anteversion causing ATP. Your videos are a godsend.
Nonetheless any video specifically for hips turning in? ❤
What name and style of shoes are you using..?
Here is a link tho the brand of shoes. kurufootwear.sjv.io/qnBZ35
@Alyssa Thank you! This was very helpful as I suffer from Posterior Tibial Tendonitis in my left ankle. Can you suggest a better squat option for toned thighs as opposed to muscular thighs? Plz & Ty #MSLATIA
Hi Alyssa are these exercises safe after L5 S1 fusion. I'm in my 8th week of recovery after surgery. Love your content
Thank you, Alyssa. Do this daily?
Depends on how you are feeling.
I was diagnosed with righ knee osteoarthritis. I had arthroscopic knee surgery in june 2020. So i need this to strengthen both my quads front, and back , and my inner thighs. And glutes muscles. Had righ spinal fusion surgery in march of this year. So i need to keep my lower body strong.
Thanks
Thank youuuuu sooooo much 😊🎉❤
You're welcome 😊
Thanks for the tips...recently had quad/knee surgery and trying to regain my strength but painful. I will give these a try. By the way...Nice quads! ❤
Glad you like the tips!
When I do exercise number two, I feel crunching in both of my knees. Is this good?
This is great, thank you!
I find squats dont hurt nearly as much as lunges. ☺️
So glad you thought the video was great. Lunges can be worked on!
Are u able to do these if had knee replacement 1 year ago
Yes, squats are very possible after a knee replacement, it's just all about what feels best and gradually working up to it
I've had two orthopedic surgeons tell me to avoid jumping, running, squats and lunges due to osteoarthritis. They've then referred me to Physical therapists who tell me to do squats and lunges. It's so confusing! I stopped doing the squats when I got crepitus-squeaky knee. I want to start again but am afraid of more damage. Thank you for the variations.
Glad you like the variations!
You have amazing defined leg muscles! How did you do it?
It has taken a while of consistent work.
This gal is a light in the world. Full stop.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Do you have exercises that would help with scoliosis at lower back with osteoarthritis/stiff hips???
Here's a video on stiff hips. ruclips.net/video/AvY42yf57GQ/видео.html
