Hi from 🇬🇧 I suffered a heart attack at the age of 62, I’m now 64 and into the second year of a program of resistance weights and cardio training at a local charity based gym and thoroughly enjoying the rehabilitation and benefits they thus is bringing to my light build. Your videos are inspiring as well as informative and knowledgeable. You are a genuine and genial guy, your calm personality is absolutely wonderful. Thank in tandem with my current gym visits I’m using your at home videos to bolster my progress. Bless you my friend. Regards from 🇬🇧 Bob
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of exercises for older people. I am 81 years young and have been working out regularly for over 60 years. But there is always more to learn. Keep up the good work.
Thanks. I’m 82 and lost 15# slowly over 3 months. Lost muscle mass, fat remains. Goal is to regain muscle mass and add weight. I find the lunges are a balance challenge, so starting without weight. The instructions are very good.
Absolutely beautiful I did it without the weights I did it what containers of milk couple of chairs and it seems to be working out but I got to get some weights and then I'll be good to go today was my first day I only did one set of all the exercises tomorrow I'll start all over again but I'll have weights with me instead of just doing it freehand or freestyle I want to call it but this has been very helpful I haven't been in the gym in so many years and to see the shape that you're in how good you look I know it's possible that I'm looking at like 6 7 months I should look good and it's 67 275 lb good is good enough for me until I'm really into working out and everything and then I will increase my weights but like you said just a lightweight so I'm going to get like 40 minutes and weights and just do it with different exercises until I'm finally feeling lovely thanks brother appreciate it this is Armand from Brooklyn New York the other thing is 9 months ago I had two cardiogenic shock heart attacks show this exercise will definitely help me get back into shape
Great workout, a lot of people of any age could benefit from doing this workout and your guidance on a consistent basis and I'm really happy that you decided to add 1 more lower body movement instead of just recommending 1 only really like before in your basic full body dumbbell workout which I think is essential but I still think you should have added 1 deadlift type movement honestly like Romanian deadlifts in particular which I think is probably the most underrated exercise for the hinge of your body and to work your posterior chain even more but at least you added the alternating lunches which is a great exercise also, maybe next time you could add that and recommend 8 exercises Which would be having 3 for the lower body and 5 for the upper body but it's up to you and no matter what I applaud for making these videos and helping people.
Thank you for confirming the techniques I have been utilizing for dumbbell leg and upper body routines. I’m 67 and workout regularly. How many times a week, sets and reps do you recommend? 👊🏼
Excellent as always! keeping good form? keep in mind, we do this to look good after we're done with the excersises, not while doing them. Train to fail and fail honorably!
Thank you for all of these great tips for proper movement while lifting. I recently purchased just two of each dumbbells 20 & 25 pounders. My reason is because I’m a complete novice with weight lifting. I also invented in a bench. Slow and steady movements will be my approach, because of a little bursitis in my shoulders…I have to be careful since I’m a painting contractor and need to work, hopefully pain free…Thanks again.
Mark, your tips about exercises and especially form are invaluable. I learned so much from this video and many others. Also I really like your workout gear! 😊
Thank you Mark for an awesome video:) Mark, is there a routine that you or Gary have put together that can quickly lower your blood pressure? If so can provide me with the link? If not what would be the best way to lower your blood pressure. I have been training heavy with some walking and short cardio. I believe that there is a better way, I am not sure how-again thanks for the inspiring workout video😇
This is a really good workout and for sure doing 2 lower body exercises is much better and essential than just 1 and the alternating lunches is a great exercise for sure but for me if I was going to recommend 8 exercises then I would recommend it and have 3 lower movements but for just 2 lower body exercises I still think the Romanian deadlift would be a little bit better than alternating lunches because the alternating lunches is a little bit too similar in what it works compared to the goblet squats but Romanian deadlifts in contrast hit the posterior of your body more than what the alternating lunches or the goblet squats hit so that's why if I were to recommend 7 exercises for people to workout at home hitting the whole body basically just with dumbbells I would have people do the goblet squats and romanian deadlifts personally but if I had people do 8 exercises then I would include the alternating lunches just because the Romanian deadlifts hit the hamstrings and lower back more which a lot of people need and often neglect and your quads are being hit a lot with the goblet squats already and I know the lunges don't just hit the quads but they hit the quads more than anything else but this is just my 2 cents but no matter what I admire that you make these videos and I'm sure they do help a lot of people especially for people that either can't afford to go to the gym or who don't want to bother going to the gym and using all the vast amounts of complicated machines and all you need really is just a pair of dumbbells like what you have especially if they're adjustable for the basic movements and you can work your whole body pretty dawn good and not have to worry about any commute to a gym, other people there or paying high gym fees but keep up the good work.
What's with all the booze in the background? Alcoholic much? Don't you know that drinking alcohol - especially close before or close after training - is bad for your gains.

I may have missed it but did you make rep/set recommendations?
Outstanding! Good demo on correct form and injury prevention.
Great content and I need good basic exercises. Thanks for all you do!
Fabulous video - plz how many reps and sets and times per week? TIA
Where did you get your dumbbells and their stands? What brand are they? Can I get them on Amazon? Thanks😊

Thank you. It will be good exercises for my age.
Thank you from a retired gent in South Africa.

I appreciate you advice but how many reps of each should you do and how many sets?

Thanks Mike - as a 69 yo I love what you do - its so helpful 👍
Do you do cardio as well? Dumbell exercises are awesome but they just don't burn many calories.
❤
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I don't want biger but I want strong Thanks you
I never thought I would see a fit and smart version of George W Bush. Anyway, great video.
Bush on steroid 😅
4 you said how old is this body soon as I saw you I guess right away 45 so I don't know what your point was but you definitely look 45
No to Facebook !
I'll go to a pimp first.
Hi. You look like George Bush.
❤❤❤Trump2024 ❤❤❤
You don't tell George Bush he looks like George Bush 😂
