Hi Cathy, absolutely agree with you. I'm also proud to reply " I'm 76", when asked my age. I'm blessed with good health, good movement & laughter. Love & Light to everyone.
I am 72 years old, have gray hair, a lumpy body, a few wrinkle, move slow, and fart a lot, all of the characteristics younger people see as senior, their polite word for "old." Well, ok. The way I look at it, they'll get here someday and then they can have the experience of having those of lesser age label them "senior." Meanwhile, I'm all for doing this exercise as well as others, although I don't consider any one of them as the most important. The most important activity is for "seniors" to get up and DO things. Otherwise, move into a retirement home and stay out of the way. Happy moving, folks.

@@Queenie-the-genie hello..... not every obese person is obese for the reasons you possibly think.... media hype, global attitudes and a complete name, blame, shame, culture are the attitudes which cause pernicious attacks on anyone who is different. Use the strength you have achieved in your body, also in your mind.... to be kind and accept others without judgement. Please. We need to live with gratitude in our lives, or we become bitter old people at the end of our days.... from someone 8 years your junior and disabled.
I am a senior citizen trying not to become a senile citizen. I do squats, walk, stretching, push ups, leg lifts, sprinting. Good information. Thank you.
Why are you offended by a video for seniors? So what? Stop being anti age and start promoting age. It is a blessing to age… Wishing you health and an attitude adjustment.
I am 75 years old and, although I consider myself healthy, I never did this particular exercise before; so I just watched your video and followed right along. 🎉🥉 Imagine being 75 and being able to so this exercise? Yes, indeed! 📣🏆🥇
Senior here . 71 yo F. I’m watching this after 10 and already taken my magnesium and melatonin so wil start squats in the morning. Also…This podcaster looks damned good for a senior. 🤩😂
😅Come on guys, we are seniors. I think what is being refuted is the stigma so many attach to being a senior, being less than. I think of when we were in high school, being a senior was a good thing. A place of status. We need to change the current assumption of a senior as an invaluable status, to that of a honorable status.
I'm 66 and am starting to exercise more, as chronic pain and degenerative disc disease is making moving more difficult. My older sister is good motivation, as she is very sedentary and can no longer stand, sit, or walk without extreme difficulty. I don't want to end up where she is. Thank you for your videos.
This is so needed. I care for two elderly people. Two of the issues they both have is needing help in and out of a chair and wiping themselves after using the toilet. They no longer have the flexibility in their shoulders to reach back. This seems to be the hardest part in being disabled, the lack of privacy really stresses them. I’m a young senior myself and will add this exercise to my daily. Thank you.
I think this may help me in my "getting back up" when I do "shoot the duck" at the skating rink. I'm 61, I work on my homestead with gardening, maintenance of many trails, etc. Fitness is key with strength training, stretching, pilates walking...just MOVE. YOU CAN ALWAYS DO SOMETHING, EVERY LITTLE SOMETHING ADDS UP !!! My favorite activity is artistic, figure and trail skating. Good food and enough sleep is a must to feel good ❤
I’m a senior, I love walking and doing squats everyday staying strong is key❤I have my sweating to the oldies videos with Richard 😢he will be missed …thank you for posting …
I'm calling this the Superman exercise! Who else sees it! My bf has been telling me to keep up the squats but also mentioned my posture. This incorporates both.
Üdvözletem Magyarországról! Én "csak" 70 éves vagyok, és meg tudom csinálni a gyakorlatot. Mikor nincs ilyen őrült meleg, naponta gyalogolok 1 órát gyorsan, tornázok, és nem régen kezdtem el a csikungot is gyakorolni. Legyünk egyre jobban, legyünk egyre egészségesebbek! Hálás köszönet a gyakorlatért! Most találtalak, fel is iratkoztam. 🙏🙏❤❤😘😘
BRILLIANT! I love combining excercises because it's much less boring! I am 69 and Ive been working on squats. I can do 50 at a time. I'm adopting this new combo today!
In all my yoga classes, I incorporate these moves - chair - squat - balances, its good basic daily practice. The good thing about yoga is that all poses can be modified so we can adapt to changing bodies as we age. Thank you for inspiring people to use their body & move. 🙏
I'm 71, and I ain't "senior" either. Or, heaven forbid, "elderly." Just passed the Jeopardy online test and hike 5 miles a day (past plenty of 30-somethings). Senior is as senior does.
I suggest varying the arm position during the squat. If you put your arms back while squatting, they serve as a bit of a counterweight so everything is not forward with legs and hips lifting and holding it all. And with arms back, you'll be doing a variation of the chest expansion/back contraction. But you'll also feel it in the back of the arms, that is rear delts and triceps. Again, this 'arms as counterweight' is not to replace the central exercise, but merely provides alternatives for weight placement or positioning. I find it particularly beneficial to begin with, before moving arms forward over the thighs.
ROTFLOL!!! You are a senior little brother. The key is to give a new meaning to the term senior citizen. As to the calf raise, it is important because so many lose ankle and foot strength and then the balance goes and so on. Excellent demo of the combo squat!!! Listen to the Doc everyone. Use it or lose it.
@@careerlifecoachskillsfacil4535 we are the best mentors n trainers but I've found out 1st hand that this young ones don't want to hear it! They know everything! Of course we were there at one time too! 🤔 Thing is, we didn't have Google! 😁
I love your honesty and demos! You are NOT a senior citizen...then I would be a grandma to a senior citizen...NO WAY! I have enough titles to hold. Thanks so.much...Carry on!
Don't disagree with your end game conclusions. I am 72 and can do this easily( because I haven't ever stopped). I have seen a number of studies supporting calf raises ( soleus esp). But I would add STRETCHING!!! Even ppl who can't run or lift weight can stretch, focusing on each section of your body from fingers to toes. It does important activation of muscle fibers.
@@deejewell4831 Thx for asking. It's more life experience. Based on combo of tumbling, ballroom dancing, few years of ballet etc. I spend 15-30 min. Start when I wake up, stretching in bed. Fingers to toes, each one as far as you can gently move it, then relax. On youtube shorts, search stretches. There are many aimed at seniors and are really good.
I am 58(F)and in the best shape of my life. I have always been into fitness being a personal trainer for 15 years and then I got really sick. I am back into it and am so happy!! I have now added roller skating. So much fun. I will be super active forever!
@@urailapere2291 Yikes! Can manage about 4 - badly as cant get feet flat on the floor in a squat.

A little addition to good info- the "invisible chair" is not squatting. When your hamstrings are pressed down on your calves, you are squatting. Squatting to empty the bowels is a mechanism for keeping the lower back healthy by stretching it for the length of time it takes to crap on the ground, but we don't do that, and so we miss out. To regain the real squat, with real benefits (which are found in the bottom half of the movement), one must regain Achilles and ankle mobility, the worst impediment to squatting. Every morning, grab the bathroom counter and stretch each calf, then grab the sink and lower yourself into a squat as deep as you can, and work up to a minute, then longer and longer until you can stay in a squat as a resting position for an hour if you wish (or playing with your grandchildren). Sink squats are the way back. Sink squats are easy to remember to do and don't take much time. I'm 65. I also used this method to regain full range of motion in my knee after an altercation with a Prius (My bike was as twisted as my leg.) The foundation of fitness longevity is joint and spine care.
great advice..... I marvel at images and videos of people from other cultures where they are often seen in that total squat position. Thank you John Bullard
73 ...working out for over half a century still 1-1.5 hours of serious lifting 6 days a week, after starting with 25 minutes yoga, hill sprints (HIIT) every 7-10 days, ...1 hour bush walk daily , weather permitting up here in Great Lakes country Canada....feel super, a few stiff days...seldom ill, no prescriptions ....lead in the pencil without pills..
I have arthritis. It is bad in my hip joints. I have been excersizeing in the pool for a year. I am now adding floor work. I am feeling much better and am mobile again. I will add this to my routine. Thanks.
Holy hell, this is fantastic. I’m 46 and follow tons of trainers on RUclips, and this is by far the best exercise video I’ve ever seen. Never knew about Bruger’s move. Combining all 3 was magical THANK YOU! Sending to my mom now ❤
Great thanks. Yoga is also good. I have 84 year olds in my class. Lots of stretching. But also I am 78 😀. I also teach some qigong at the same time….. keep on moving But carefully 😀🌈💜
Thank you so much for showing us a better way to do squats! I am 54 years old and I have arthritis in my knees. Although switching to a plant based diet alleviated a lot of the pain, it still hurts to do squats. As soon as I tried this exercise I felt ZERO pain. Thank you so much! God bless everyone reading this and good luck on your health journey.😊
Yes I agree I lost that sensory feeling in my feet when I had a stroke and no one told me this would happen I felt like I was learning to walk for the first time and as I started to walk over different surfaces I found that I felt like I was going to fall. And I did over the months of recuperation.i had to keep telling myself quietly no you're not going to fall especially important when I was walking up and down stairs. Yes I did numerous exercises to improve walking leg strength. Sitting in chairs. I didn't want to lose the strength I have left. I want to increase my strength. In my legs feet and core strength because I found out personally I needed core strength to help me sit in the car and get out.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I APRECIATED YOUR EXPLANATION ON THIS AWSOME AND BENEFICIAL EXERCISES.!!! I’m a 70yrs old I SUFFER FRON SCIATICA. I have done this exercises with out any technique… thank you again🙏
You are funny! We go from baby, toddler, youngster, teen ager, etc etc, adult....to Seniors and Older. It is what it is😂 At over 60 I would prefer to be called Honey or sweetheart instead of Senior😂 Thank you, great exercises for the Sweethearts!
Wonderful... I take a Chi Kung (apols if I've spelt that incorrectly!) class once a week and I'll now include this lovely stretchy move, thankyou again.
I workout 4-6 times per week. I work with heavy weights 2-3 times per week and fill in the other days with flexibility and mobility workouts, interval workouts, yoga, Barre, step ect. I just had a stress test and outlasted everyone else on the treadmill that day. I am 71 - I don’t feel old!
Thank you for this exercise combination! I will do this along with walking, yoga, rebounding, sixties dancing ( and other dancing), and swimming ! I love to move!
I AM ULTIMATE HEALTH 🙏🏾💚😇 Your video just "popped up " for me😅This is my 1st time seeing or hearing you😊I LOVE YOUR ENERGY and your approach. I have subscribed 🎉🙌🏾🎊💯‼️👍🏽
Hi, I'm 87 young. I love watching your videos. I try to do those exercises as much as I can also I try deep breathing that you recommend in a different video for lowering high blood pressue. Thank you for precious information. ARIGATOU from Tokyo, JAPAN.
You're very good on camera. You should do segments on your local TV station if they have a morning show. I have been practicing martial arts for 51 years (I'm 71) and I plan to incorporate these movements into my daily activities.
Thank you so much. I am 66 years old and I do 20 squats several times a week. I will add the moves from video to my routine. I'm looking forward to more of your videos.
I did planks, calf raises. squats, and pushups against the counter until I felt better, stronger and had better balance. Then I quit. I always seem to quit when something works for me. So I started again and have added walking. Here is to NOT quitting when it works and to making it a life long habit. btw, the calf raises I do are on stairs so that I can drop my heels also.
There are at least five routines from the anciennt traditions I have used to heal the knees. All you've presented is contained in them, and so much more.
❤🎉😊 I'm pushing 80 and found your 3 in 1 perfect I watch other videos for exercises but found your the best, I've tried it and can do them,I'll do them daily from now on. I'll be watching all your videos, thanks
I’m an 85 year old senior. Been walking and exercising all my life. I make sure I get 8000 steps per day. Weather permitting I’m outside otherwise I go to the gym. I do classes, weights, treadmill etc. I played 9 holes of golf 3x a week until I had my hip replaced. This year, lost interest in the golf. I read a book a week, do mind/memory games daily. Eat green and try to keep a positive mindset.
I'm a senior, 63 years old, and have begun incorporating the above suggested moves into my daily exercises. An additional move I find that helps relax and stretch out my lower back is the "resting squat".
@Adam J. Story, DC I thought it was funny that you said calf raises is "not the most important exercise for seniors... It's not calf raises..." and then you proceed to show step one as calf raises. haha. The 3 movement exercise you combined looks pretty good. I will try to remember this for my senior friends. 🙂Nice video.
Fabulous. I used to do these 3 exercises separately but will now combine into 1 movement as daily routine. Thank you from a 70 yo female 😊 Adding in the calf raise really challenges the balance, so all the more reason to combine them.
😂I was blocked from the 7:42 Magnesium breakthrough link… I’m not tech savy enough to know why…I’m 70 which is not old… I don’t know what old feels like…I take care of my body and my mind and I don’t do stupid things… I really like your channel, your knowledge, your truth, your uncommon sense. I look forward to your always informative videos. So I’m a Canada guy and I do use a VPN. Maybe that’s the blocking issue? I unno. Anyway Doc Story you’re amongst the best.
These are great! I’m 63 & getting back to moving more. I’ve been doing calf raises but like you said, my bad knees hurt when I squat. They feel like they’re blowing out. (Surgery in 1996) I’m going to try this tonight! (I tore my rotator cuff 10 years ago and have had issues since too) I think this will help me tremendously! Thank you!
Amazing! thank you so much. No one has ever explained how to squat the way you did. I just figured I was incapable of squatting until you mentioned that little bit about bending in your video.
You are so right with the squat version and sticking out the butt. I had Piriformis syndrome/sciatica and after a while learned that it didn’t hurt so much doing this to bend down. It is slowly improving after 3+ months so I shall now be doing your recommended squat sequence too. Thank you!
It also keeps your back strong. I do it by adding a full arm swoop: squat with my arms out straight. As I come up I raise my arms and circle them around my head and back to my sides. Cures sciatica pain in seconds.
Loved 3 in 1!!! I just turned 78 and I'm in fairly good shape for my age, but I definitely need to strengthen my muscles -- especially hips and back. The calf exercise is good for neuropathy in my feet as well.
Love this vid Adam J Story. I am going to do this right now. Greetings from the today rainy Isle of Bermuda 😊 we need the rain and so I am housebound and checking options. Thank you for this one to add to the workout I already did. I'll be 75 next month 🤩 and will be a stronger more vibrant senior 😎
Calf raises are great! Excellent to help our type 2 diabetics lower A1C along with resistance training working on those big muscle groups, squats are a BIG DEAL! look at that triple move! Thank you and stay amazing and well!

Every morning, grab the bathroom counter and stretch each calf, then grab the sink and lower yourself into a squat as deep as you can, and work up to a minute, then longer and longer until you can stay in a squat as a resting position for an hour if you wish (or playing with your grandchildren). Sink squats are the way back. Sink squats are easy to remember to do and don't take much time. I'm 65. I also used this method to regain full range of motion in my knee after an altercation with a Prius (My bike was as twisted as my leg.)
The foundation of fitness longevity is joint and spine care.
@JohnBullard Ta muchly - I’ll give that a go!
Very good practical and effective method
Thank you
great advice..... I marvel at images and videos of people from other cultures where they are often seen in that total squat position. Thank you John Bullard
73 ...working out for over half a century still 1-1.5 hours of serious lifting 6 days a week, after starting with 25 minutes yoga, hill sprints (HIIT) every 7-10 days, ...1 hour bush walk daily , weather permitting up here in Great Lakes country Canada....feel super, a few stiff days...seldom ill, no prescriptions ....lead in the pencil without pills..
Good! How are you now? Still exercising as above?
@@mariojeanjacques7907 I am.
I have arthritis. It is bad in my hip joints. I have been excersizeing in the pool for a year. I am now adding floor work. I am feeling much better and am mobile again. I will add this to my routine. Thanks.
Holy hell, this is fantastic. I’m 46 and follow tons of trainers on RUclips, and this is by far the best exercise video I’ve ever seen. Never knew about Bruger’s move. Combining all 3 was magical THANK YOU! Sending to my mom now ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great thanks. Yoga is also good. I have 84 year olds in my class. Lots of stretching. But also I am 78 😀. I also teach some qigong at the same time….. keep on moving But carefully 😀🌈💜
Thanks for sharing!!
Every time I stretch my hamstrings or piriformis or calves, I have pain and numbness. I think stretching is not good for everyone.
Thank you so much for showing us a better way to do squats! I am 54 years old and I have arthritis in my knees. Although switching to a plant based diet alleviated a lot of the pain, it still hurts to do squats. As soon as I tried this exercise I felt ZERO pain. Thank you so much! God bless everyone reading this and good luck on your health journey.😊
Yes I agree I lost that sensory feeling in my feet when I had a stroke and no one told me this would happen I felt like I was learning to walk for the first time and as I started to walk over different surfaces I found that I felt like I was going to fall. And I did over the months of recuperation.i had to keep telling myself quietly no you're not going to fall especially important when I was walking up and down stairs. Yes I did numerous exercises to improve walking leg strength. Sitting in chairs. I didn't want to lose the strength I have left. I want to increase my strength. In my legs feet and core strength because I found out personally I needed core strength to help me sit in the car and get out.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
I APRECIATED YOUR EXPLANATION ON THIS AWSOME AND BENEFICIAL EXERCISES.!!!
I’m a 70yrs old I SUFFER FRON SCIATICA. I have done this exercises with out any technique… thank you again🙏
Thanks for doing this video. We are "pre-senior".
You are funny! We go from baby, toddler, youngster, teen ager, etc etc, adult....to Seniors and Older. It is what it is😂 At over 60 I would prefer to be called Honey or sweetheart instead of Senior😂
Thank you, great exercises for the Sweethearts!
Thanks for sharing!!
Wonderful... I take a Chi Kung (apols if I've spelt that incorrectly!) class once a week and I'll now include this lovely stretchy move, thankyou again.
I workout 4-6 times per week. I work with heavy weights 2-3 times per week and fill in the other days with flexibility and mobility workouts, interval workouts, yoga, Barre, step ect. I just had a stress test and outlasted everyone else on the treadmill that day. I am 71 - I don’t feel old!
Thank you for this exercise combination! I will do this along with walking, yoga, rebounding, sixties dancing ( and other dancing), and swimming ! I love to move!
That's right, Adam. Rage, rage against the dying light of youth.
I AM ULTIMATE HEALTH 🙏🏾💚😇 Your video just "popped up " for me😅This is my 1st time seeing or hearing you😊I LOVE YOUR ENERGY and your approach. I have subscribed 🎉🙌🏾🎊💯‼️👍🏽
I’m down with you. We’re not citizens just older generation. Thanks for the time and energy put in the channel..
Hi, I'm 87 young. I love watching your videos. I try to do those exercises as much as I can also I try deep breathing that you recommend in a different video for lowering high blood pressue. Thank you for precious information. ARIGATOU from Tokyo, JAPAN.
THIS IS. GOOD 4 ME . A CHANGE IN MY BODY AFTER A PERIOD OF 10 mnts. THANKS DOC.
I’m not old, but I do this exercise anyway. ♥️
Smart!
You're very good on camera. You should do segments on your local TV station if they have a morning show. I have been practicing martial arts for 51 years (I'm 71) and I plan to incorporate these movements into my daily activities.
Thank you so much. I am 66 years old and I do 20 squats several times a week. I will add the moves from video to my routine. I'm looking forward to more of your videos.
I did planks, calf raises. squats, and pushups against the counter until I felt better, stronger and had better balance. Then I quit. I always seem to quit when something works for me. So I started again and have added walking. Here is to NOT quitting when it works and to making it a life long habit. btw, the calf raises I do are on stairs so that I can drop my heels also.
There are at least five routines from the anciennt traditions I have used to heal the knees. All you've presented is contained in them, and so much more.
❤🎉😊 I'm pushing 80 and found your 3 in 1 perfect I watch other videos for exercises but found your the best, I've tried it and can do them,I'll do them daily from now on. I'll be watching all your videos, thanks
That's the olde 'Rise from the toilet without holding on to the countertop' exercise!
Indeed. Indeed.
@@williamkoenig1586 Can do it but not well.
Love that you cared about the stone. I did earth science and care too! Will try exercise.
I’m an 85 year old senior. Been walking and exercising all my life. I make sure I get 8000 steps per day. Weather permitting I’m outside otherwise I go to the gym. I do classes, weights, treadmill etc. I played 9 holes of golf 3x a week until I had my hip replaced. This year, lost interest in the golf. I read a book a week, do mind/memory games daily. Eat green and try to keep a positive mindset.
Keep it up
I'm a senior, 63 years old, and have begun incorporating the above suggested moves into my daily exercises. An additional move I find that helps relax and stretch out my lower back is the "resting squat".
"Feeding three birds with one hand"!😊
@@vegansydmost1345 Thank you 😊
Thanks for the big tip! I'm 54 and working on my health, but I'm grateful for the health I have. Thanks again! Wonderful video.
@Adam J. Story, DC I thought it was funny that you said calf raises is "not the most important exercise for seniors... It's not calf raises..." and then you proceed to show step one as calf raises. haha. The 3 movement exercise you combined looks pretty good. I will try to remember this for my senior friends. 🙂Nice video.
Thanks, you so right about the exercise it helps … I have been doing them last few months, and they work 🙏🙏
and the Brugger helped her avoid kephosis, which is a major battle that Seniors need to be made aware of
Fabulous. I used to do these 3 exercises separately but will now combine into 1 movement as daily routine. Thank you from a 70 yo female 😊 Adding in the calf raise really challenges the balance, so all the more reason to combine them.
You're so welcome!
A squat DOESNT have to be PERFECT. Just get to the floor and stand up. Do it 50 times a day, every day. That would also help.
😂I was blocked from the 7:42 Magnesium breakthrough link… I’m not tech savy enough to know why…I’m 70 which is not old… I don’t know what old feels like…I take care of my body and my mind and I don’t do stupid things… I really like your channel, your knowledge, your truth, your uncommon sense. I look forward to your always informative videos. So I’m a Canada guy and I do use a VPN. Maybe that’s the blocking issue? I unno. Anyway Doc Story you’re amongst the best.
@@darb3334 thanks. I have no idea why either.
83 and I can do this. I like combining squat with calf raises and the scapular move.
God blessings be with you always god bless 🙏🙏🙏
These are great! I’m 63 & getting back to moving more. I’ve been doing calf raises but like you said, my bad knees hurt when I squat. They feel like they’re blowing out. (Surgery in 1996) I’m going to try this tonight! (I tore my rotator cuff 10 years ago and have had issues since too) I think this will help me tremendously! Thank you!
I'm 64, Thank you frm Malaysia.
Squats are good. I started doing pistol squats a couple of weeks ago, getting better at it.
Amazing! thank you so much. No one has ever explained how to squat the way you did. I just figured I was incapable of squatting until you mentioned that little bit about bending in your video.
You are so right with the squat version and sticking out the butt. I had Piriformis syndrome/sciatica and after a while learned that it didn’t hurt so much doing this to bend down. It is slowly improving after 3+ months so I shall now be doing your recommended squat sequence too. Thank you!
I’m seeing your video for the first time. Thanks for sharing these exercises, which I just did with you. I think I will practice them.
My man here has some good refreshing humor in his presentation
Thank you for the tips, I do the squats but not enough. I will for sure incorporate the other moves.
My husband and I do this exercise every day since we first saw you do it. Thank you
It also keeps your back strong. I do it by adding a full arm swoop: squat with my arms out straight. As I come up I raise my arms and circle them around my head and back to my sides. Cures sciatica pain in seconds.
i really like this guy, i'm 31 but still feel 21.
Just the exercise I been looking for. Simple,easy to fit into my daily life.
Loved 3 in 1!!! I just turned 78 and I'm in fairly good shape for my age, but I definitely need to strengthen my muscles -- especially hips and back. The calf exercise is good for neuropathy in my feet as well.
I know I’m not gonna be able to do that very well yet, but I’m certainly starting today
My lower leg, ankle and foot weakness are from lower back related foot drop and leg weakness. Then surgery. Squating is very painful with bad knees.
Love this vid Adam J Story. I am going to do this right now. Greetings from the today rainy Isle of Bermuda 😊 we need the rain and so I am housebound and checking options. Thank you for this one to add to the workout I already did. I'll be 75 next month 🤩 and will be a stronger more vibrant senior 😎
Doctor Story, on the squats door inserts door stoppers left/ right of the doorknob!
Calf raises are great! Excellent to help our type 2 diabetics lower A1C along with resistance training working on those big muscle groups, squats are a BIG DEAL! look at that triple move! Thank you and stay amazing and well!
