      Thank you.

    Thank you so much for helping me figure out how to get stronger after a prolonged illness left me weak as a kitten. I'm 64, and I can barely climb or go down stairs, can't get up off the floor anymore, and I can't kneel on my knees without feeling like crying. It's hard to get motivated when you don't know where to start, and this gave me a good starting point. I can modify the floorwork by doing some of them in my bed for now. But I'm not going to quit! I am determined to get up off the floor easily as soon as possible.

    A spinal injury took me off my beloved mountains almost 10 years ago. My entire left side, leg, calves, hamstrings and feet have atrophied muscles. Walking is difficult and exhausting. I have a permanent limp. Since watching your videos, and faithfully doing the exercises you show, I’m gaining a bit of strength and hope. I appreciate you!!!!🙏🏼❤️

I'm 38, 5'9" and 230 lbs. Yikes. I also have spinal stenosis in my lower back that makes it feel like concrete sometimes. How would I BEGIN to get my body in shape? Would an elliptical or exercise bike be better? Sorry for the long message and I hope for a reply. Thank you sir! 💕

    Hey, I own a horse and horse poop is not damaging to the trails, it's mostly just dried grass and does not need to be picked up as it will readily decompose and get blown away. Dog poop, or poop from any meat-eating species, is greasy, smelly, and slippery, and must be picked up or moved off the trail. That said, I really enjoy your videos and they have helped me to get back to riding my horse!

    When I'm not accustomed to walking stairs at work, I use the handrail for stability so that my knee isn't off.
    After a couple of weeks, my strength is improved and I no longer need the handrail.
    If I increase the number of floors or have sore muscles, I use the handrail.

    Matt, your videos are AMAZING! I'm trying to recover from a leg/hip/groin injury. You are really helping me. While doing my 2nd round of these exercises, I heard your promise that you won't buy a horse to "mess up" the hiking trails. I burst out laughing because that's a real annoyance to me! All the trails near me have signs to pick up after your pets, but the horse people just don't do it! Let's face it; it's much easier to step over dog poo than the humongous piles that horses drop. The riders wouldn't even have to carry it; they could just tie their bags to the saddle. I don't even mind if you buy a horse to ride the trails as long as you pick up after it 😊.

      ​@@cynthiamccullough3718 Most of these exercises are much more difficult to practice than walking outside. My neighbors are a couple - both 93 years old, they take a slow walk outside everyday together but wouldnt stand a chance of doing most of these exercises. Maybe those exercises are for really old prisoners.
