      Tuesdays and Fridays. I started on the leg raises last week (Tuesdays and Fridays as well) where you're seated and while bracing your leg in the air you straighten the knee and then relax it. I've done those four times so far and I noticed a difference immediately. I'm amazed how something so small could make such a tremendous difference.
      I'm a bit nervous to try squatting just yet because my knees are so terrible but if these keep improving my condition I plan to begin working on squatting in a few months. I may not ever get to where I can remain squatted for any length of time or even get all the way down, but if my knees become stronger it's worth the battle.
      Thanks so much!

    People over 50 should be pushed by a nationwide campaign to take a critical look at their leg strength. Leg exercises should be at the core of senior health care. Walking without fear and increasing longterm independance. This channel is a must for the older person and they have a duty to their own good health to watch it and act upon it.

    I was always pretty fit until I got sick, and after years of chronic pain and illness, and the resulting upward creep of my weight, I'm in rough shape. I've experienced so much grief coming to terms with the capabilities I've lost, and it's very humbling to have to completely start over. I'm still relatively young, and this video is still easier than what I need right now, but I'm so grateful for people like you who post things like this to help me or others who are just trying to rebuild. So-called "fitness culture" is riddled with vanity and clout-chasing and desperation, so it's extra special to find someone who understands that we're all just working with the body that we have to make the most of our time on earth. Thank you very much.

      To go down stairs safely, take hold of the rail with both hands facing the railing, then put you left foot down on the next step followed by the right foot... one step at a time. I learned this method in rehab and it is a safe and secure way to go down a stairway.

    May I suggest just one more thing? If the floor is wooden such as yours is, push the chair against the wall totally to have it super stable - so in case the person has to REALLY lean into the chair to rise or bend, the chair will not slide forward and destabilize the person's stance etc.

    Nearly a year later and I’ll follow up on my original post. I’m male, 62 and in reasonable shape but I’d noticed a gradual decline in my leg strength. So I took this guys advice and followed carefully. Twice a week was no biggy for me - or so I thought. The first attempt left me in agony the following day. Two days later and I was ready to try again. Slowly, things improved. After a month I moved to squats alone 3x a week, before adding weights. First 2x3kg and eventually 2x7kg. My leg muscle mass/strength hasn’t been this good since I was in my 30’s. I’m aware that not everyone will make this type of progress but I fully endorse this guy’s advice. Try it. Happy new year from the UK.

    It's so refreshing to see guides like this. I feel immense shame over my weakness as others my age are much stronger and fitter. I aspire to be well, but its a battle when you have illness related muscle loss.

    I do squat 60 times, 15 x 4 set, 3 times a week in a swimming pool. It helps so much.

    I don't yet know what I want to say here; I fit into that 60 year old bracket. I was never an athlete, but was athletic (small difference mentally, ie, lacking complete dedication) but in my mind, I'm still in my 40s. Young 40s. Of course like most men, you put a few of us together and you quickly have a group of teenagers. The way you present this makes me giggle, because right after my stroke some years back, my wife and I joined the local Y. One of the perks as she viewed it was the Silver Sneakers class. I was both, disinterested due to having been in decent shape and never dipping my toes into something, but rather diving right in, yet at that point, aside from my disinterest, I couldn't even do all these things they were having us do. But the way you gently present this as either speaking to soft, elderly people or kindergartners just makes me smile. My knees have been a problem since my mid 20s and now I'm forced into this slow roll if I actually want to improve my situation. Thanks for all of these videos.

    Thanks for the great video helping people help themselves. A few years ago I was walking 6 miles to and from work . I retired 2 years ago at 70 and now at 72 my hips and legs are giving me problems and im sure it's from lack of exercise. I just started walking again and even though it hurts, i know in the long run it is good for me to exercise the parts that hurt. I just came across your video and I'm going to incorperate it into my routine. Doing this just the first 2 times of 12 reps I can tell this is a great low impact starter exercise . Thanks Again !!

    People, the main objection is to KEEP MOVING and BE ACTIVE. You don't need a gym or lots of equipment. You can work every muscle right at home with what you have at home. You just gotta get off your keister and want to do it. If you keep consistent, you will quickly notice a difference. BUT STICK WITH IT!!!

    I loved this routine!! I do have overpronation (flat feet) and when I try to squat my right knee goes inward.. I'm an Asian without the Asian squat power! But your videos are giving me some hope. If you could possibly one day address what to do with inward collapsing knee I would appreciate it! Loving your "can't jump" vid playlist!!

    I spent the summer in Beijing 10 years ago and one thing I noticed was how the older generation worked out together outside in groups. And the city even builds exercise equipment in their parks or public spots that are accessible to anyone. It blew my mind seeing them play the hacky sack game (I forgot the name of it, with the feather thing) but they were so flexible! Even when I went to India we visited a relatives house and they were soooo old but still sitting cross-legged on the bed and getting up so swiftly and easily.

    I am 70 years old, overall fit but have some peripheral neuropathy in my lower legs.
    i come from a cycling and biking background.
    I have started doing 3 sets of 22 rep's deep squats (femur past horizontal) with 25 lb barbell to my chest holding the dumbell in goblet position largely out of fear I am losing some level of leg strength which of course all aging humans do. I do this 3 x's a week in addition to mostly zone 2 training on the bike.
    Other drill is...see how many seconds you can stand on each foot. If you can stand for 1 minute on each foot without losing your balance which I can, you are good as a senior.
    Again, I find what feels like neuropathy disturbing, but when tested, my strength is good including my balance and reflexes and I still have good performance on the bike for my age in particular having trained with elite riders in the past.
