I've been so depressed lately, getting out of bed is a struggle and it's been taking a toll on my health. Thank you so much for these, they genuinely help so much. Thank you.
As an 84 year old lady with severe lumbar osteoarthritis and being in a lot of pain, I find your back excercises done on a chair really helpful.. Have tried others but I like your excurcises the best. thank you
@Sandra Worland 🙋🏿♀️ I am so happy to hear this, because I'm 66 yo with the same issue. I will try these exercises/stretches. Thank you for the good words. 👍🏿
Hi Mike. Just started doing this video and am hoping to loosen up my lower back. I can't do some of the exercises fully but do what I can and will be measuring the progress. For example I can only reach my calves but will eventually touch my toes and can only just about cross my ankles but aiming to put my leg on my thigh. I love your videos Mike. I love your understanding and patience. I giggle when you remind me not to slouch! How do you know? I'm 82 and wish I had found you 3 years ago after my fall. We were locked down and couldn't leave the house so I had to do it by myself as I live alone. What a godsend your videos would have been. Wishing you love, laughter and joy. Off to do your upper body workout with weights. 🤣😘
Hi Mike. Once again thank you for your videos, your dedication and your commitment to senior health and exercise. 🙏🙏What a godsend you are. Since following your seated leg, weights, core and this one, for just a few weeks, I can now walk without a stick in the house and, yesterday, actually picked up something off the floor. Something I haven't been able to do since a fall in 2019. My lumber region was already damaged and like a block of cement but now there is life in it. Yeah!. You are an Angel. 😇May your day be filled with the love and joy you give to others. 🥰😘Glenda x
I read your letter today, that's a beautiful picture. Sometimes it's nice to get away, I love to walk especially when the weather is nice, I go to the park there's a walking, running, biking, trail. Also many ducks, prairie dogs, and a lots of activities. The trail is a mile long but you can walk as many as you want, I've done your excercises today and I will go to the park. I love walking it's good for my heart and I've lost over 40 lbs. I wished I could be where you are it looks so beautiful, thanks for all you do by helping us seniors. I will be 73 yrs old next month and have had breast cancer, try to keep active. Thanks again!
Thank you for this video, Mike! It really works for my back. I am 57 yrs young :), but fell on ice a few years back while moving snow and I think the damage must be manifesting as occasional back pain now. Thanks once again for helping people like us!
Hello Mike! About 7 weeks ago I had achilles reconstruction surgery. After 6 weeks I needed therapy, but due to high co-pay I couldn't afford it. I found your videos and now I am walking without an assistive device. I want to thank you for your devotion and caring compassion that you show to all your viewers. You truly helped me push through and walk again! Blessings!
Your exercises are doable Im 68 yrs old lady n have tried your seated exercises This back one helped me immediately in my back pain though I just did each 3 times Thanks for posting such videos
Thank you so much I am a diversional therapist working with seniors with dementia and I am using your great videos for my clients. Keep up the great work!
I’m so glad to hear you and your mom enjoyed the workout. It’s wonderful that you’re sharing this time together. Thank you for your kind words - I’m so happy the content is helpful for both of you!
Thank you Mike! I occasionally get lower back pain - this one is helpful! Looking back, you have a video for every ailment us "oldies" have! You work endlessly...
I am not a senior but I fractured my right ankle and cannot stand on it nor lie down to work out. My lower back is becoming quite sore from using a knee scooter and crutches to get around. I am glad to have found this seated lower back strengthing routine which after just following it once, has already brought relief to my back pain! Thank you.
Hi Mike. You have some great videos. I am a 74-year-old man with lower back pain. I injured my back in 1984, so I've been living with pain for years. I live in Ontario, Canada. Lately, I've been getting a lot of upper and mid-back muscle spasms. The pain is about a # 7 out of 10. I found your channel and after doing your stretching exercises, my back is feeling better each day. I like the fact that you do the exercise with us. Not just telling us what to do. Following an instructor is more apt to get us to move. Thanks for sharing.👍👍🍁
Hello Mike, thank you for the excercise for sciatica. I no longer have Sciatica, but from being a walker find now that I cannot walk more than 5 minutes when I have bad pain right across my lower back, if I sit 10 seconds, pain disappears, I’m thinking that thru’ sitting so much, muscles have weakened, so I hope these sitting back exercises will help. Thank you Mike. Louisa.😊
Hey Everybody; Thank you Mike for the exercise - it relieved my lower back paid considerable. I woke up this morning with an excruciating pain, and after the chair workout I am in better shape already!
Hey thanks man I'm 40 years old and I have got overweight and my lower back has been hurting recently. Your video helped me to feel better - thank you very much! I appreciate what you do! 🙏 Peace!
I wish to credit you for a great video. I've been noticing that for about 4 or 5 times a day lasting for about 30 seconds I actually find myself standing up straight with my chest out and shoulders back. It's due to working with your video once a day. Congratulations, you do very well working with your audience or individuals that you see!
Your video is usefull for me, I am from Indonesia, 68 years old, and I will exercise for supporting my healt with this exercise. It is suitable for me.
I don't always access your routines via RUclips so I'm unable to provide a comment using your packaged routines. Today, after a variety of "Mike's" exercises, I topped them off with this really great routine which I've used many times before only not from RUclips. All I can say is "aaah."...Anastasia
Hi Mike they.heap a lot back.stretches am.very stiff and sore there too I will get here...just need to persevere .Thanks for your help us Seniors really appreciate it 👍
I do some 'get fit' exercises every day but think these exercises are by far the best ones I have come across.A lovely quiet and sensible delivery and just about enough time to really get some benefit from the exercises.I do them most days and occasionally twice a day!Thanks so much.
These are perfect exercises for seniors and also quite challenging. Advise watching whole series of videos to keep fit.Better than going to gym and using exercise equipmentt
I've had a sore lower back for a few days and just remembered about this video, which I just did. Im sure I will be a lot better very soon after doing it. Thanks, as always Mike. :-)
I just discovered your channel and am so glad I did! I recently had a 10% compression fracture to the T12 vertebrae. It is healing quite well and time for some simple exercises. I am 66 but very active until this issue. I have gone through several of your videos and plan on doing some every day. Thank you!
❤❤Loved❤❤ The #SeatedBackWorkout We🕺🏾💃🏿 Thank You I"m in A Wheelchair This Daily Excerise is So Very Helpful Thx Once Again Great Workout❣️ Loss 15 Pounds , Working Out Very Proudly😁 A Total body Workout in toal 20 pounds Loss Feeling Amazing Looking my Best Appreciate the Video #Excellentindeed
Another great exercise, which I just found. Thank you Mike. I am now graduating to about an hour per day, each day. I do feel that my posture is getting better, and my legs stronger. I do leg strengthening, core and posture work, balancing, and some hip exercises. I seem to be quite good with the balancing, so will concentrate on the others a bit more. I still can't do the quadriceps, which I used to do regularly, a year ago. I think I had an injury of sort, or maybe the progress of my hip arthritis got in the way.
I can certainly agree with practice makes perfect, not perfect yet but 2 weeks later the leg grossing over the other was definitely easier today, 2 weeks later. I am with you for at least half an hour almost every day Mike
Ty so much for this. I have degenerative disks and once in a while I pull a nerve or a muscle and I literally can’t move. Your seating exercises help me. At first it was a challenge because my back hurt so much but I’m slowly getting better and it’s only been 3 days. ❤️
I've been so depressed lately, getting out of bed is a struggle and it's been taking a toll on my health. Thank you so much for these, they genuinely help so much. Thank you.
