I laughed when you said do the stretch before you get out of bed in the morning. 😂 in reality it will be after going to the bathroom for seniors 😅 thank you guys
I also do my stretches in bed before I get up, so eliminate falling and low impact on my body and also on my sofa, along with doing it at other times of the day. It is good to get the system moving before getting out of bed.
I’m 73 and most of these things I can do except reach up the middle of my back when bathing, even with the back scrubber, but I’m working on it. I did trip on a rug the other day from not picking up my feet. I do stretches in bed, especially the hips. Awareness of these very subtle changes is key. Keep moving. Thank you👍🙏🏻👵
Like many other viewers, I’ve done yoga my whole life, hiked, treadmill, etc. Processed foods affected my joints the most, once I eliminated those from my diet, pain and stiffness went away, along with remaining active of course. Thanks so much, really appreciate all of your videos. Sending love and positive vibes to you both and to Bob, hope he’s doing well. ❤
Thanks B&B! You have helped me throughout the years with various physical ailments. You provide such a valuable service for people in need of advice to help themselves. Kindness and clarity! You rock!
Thank you Guys. At 75 I do most of my stretches each morning before getting out of bed. I’ve just added a very important one. Best regards to Bob too. 👍👍
Good stuff fellas. One thing I have found helpful... While walking my daily 10,000 steps I wear mechanic gloves and knee braces, just in case I take a tumble. The mechanics gloves are light but strong and will protect your hands from concrete rash in case you fall and the knee brace is a compression sleeve with patella gel pad, it gives great support plus if you tale a fall it will protect our knees from direct contact with concrete. Terrific channel fellas.
Thank you for these. At 69, i have a lot of these challenges. It’s remarkable how we make adjustments and don’t even notice we are not moving as we used to. I started lifting my leg up to my knee as I was putting my shoes on. didn’t notice for a long time I was doing this. for the shoulder stretch, a physical therapist taught me to use a scarf instead of a belt. I have a friend who developed foot drop at a young age. The doctors thought it was a neurological problem. so as you say, see a doctor to get checked out if this happens to you. she used to fall quite a lot.
@@lunasky5635 - Regarding your comment when people find they are falling a lot can, perhaps, mean there is some neurological problem, that is VERY true! A good friend of mine used to fall a lot! It went on for years. She fell again last Summer (2023) and was taken by medics to the hospital. After a few days, she was about to be discharged when she suddenly lost the use of a leg. An MRI was done and three tumors were found. So, all those years of falls were due to, unfortunately, brain cancer.
many thanks for your wonderful exercises ,I like your work so much and every day it is my wonderful time to work with you, I am looking from Bonn in Germany
Practiced yoga since 1979, always walked, ran, biked, skated, danced since I was a child. Just keep doing what you're doing and you'll be okay. Or so I thought. Sometime between 75 and 78 old age hit me hard. Now everything I used to do with ease is incredibly painful. Will certainly try what you recommend but I don't have much hope anymore. I just try not to hobble too much in public because it is embarrassing to be so limited in motion.
Was doing good until early 40s and developed viral rheumatoid arthritis. Steroids got me walking again but nothing was ever the same. I do the best I can. Some stuff just plain hurts too much. Its a bummer but do what you can even if it hurts some, just don't overdo. Know your body.
I had a frozen shoulder about 20 years ago my PT had me using a towel @11:59. Drying my back that way ever since has kept that at bay, knock on wood. 😊
At 63, I became a pilates reformer teacher. I've been doing reformer workouts myself for five years. I want to be able to do reformer throughout my life. I have a lot of students in their 50s to 70s who love moving on the reformer. It is a great way to work the body functionally.
TY❤ some of these I'm already doing as I have 2 pretend hips, and two pretend knees. Haveclearned a lot from my physical therapist but have also learned much from you over the years. I really like your simplistic way if showing & reminding us how important this is. I'm 78 years young and still learning TY again ❤🎉
I'm ready to get out of a cast after a traumatic break of my elbow and wrist, with surgery, screws, and plates. My shoulder is unbelievably tight, all the way through to my fingers. So I'll use these stretches -- very gently, don't worry! And I'm PT live. At 64, I feel about 104 ugh! Love you guys. Thanks.
Love these. I do variations of them in my fitness and yoga classes. Nice to have some validation that I'm helping people in the right ways. Thanks for these videos.
I’ve been watching your videos for some time. Great job! I would like to see exercises with more modifications for a person that has knees, hips, and shoulders replaced. Oh yes, and a permanently injured back. I like the massage gun I bought. Works and charges well.
Seriously, I had a hip replaced in 2019, and the surgeon said I had no restrictions. So I’ve been doing this stretch since surgery , with no problems. The only things I don’t do include , running(😢) , and yoga dragon poses. No problems otherwise. I’m in my late 60’s.
I've been doing the 4 hip stretch for a very long time since I saw you show it in another video. It's very helpful! The other stretches are as well! Thank you! ❤️ I like the variation of the hand stretch you showed. It also helps stretch the muscle down the wrist as I move my shoulders up. 😊
These are great! The hip stretch works on only one side for me; had hip replacement And gluteus medius re-attachment to my trochanter. Had shoulder and bicep surgery last year on right shoulder last April, and broke my left shoulder 6 weeks ago!! At 66 I am looking forward to these stretches!!
I think there is an aches and pains switch that goes off at age 65 😂😮 (I'm 68) everything goes up a massive gear (or it might have been COVID) . I was losing connectivity especially from my waist down to my feet. I found that doing a whole-body yawn-stretch (like a cat stretching) seems to help enormously. in bed or in a chair arms up and legs and feet and toes out - biggest stretch i can do. Thanks for all the videos.
I'm about to be 73 and I can scrub my whole back with my sponge. Shoulder blades are the toughest, but I have so far refused to get one on a stick. The hardest for me is my hands! They really don't like to go that- my left thumb is the toughest. I'm left handed so I gently insist.😂👍 **If I've just had them in some nice warm dishwater it helps.♥️♥️♥️✌
Thanks for this in detail. Thanks. Love that wallwalk. What to you do when you have a torn shoulder capsule torn ligaments that are barely hanging on to some muscle. Thanks for the idea of the belt.
hi jack here.. recently 6 weeks post opp right hip replacement.. i am fighting to be able to tie shoes.. i do foot up on chair stretch with 20 lb barbell in my hands..
Getting my right foot up to put my socks & shoes on is a big problem for me, so I was pleased you included this. One exercise I do already is to pull my toes back towards me & push the heels away whilst laying flat in bed, gives a great calf stretch. HOWEVER I’m now finding after doing the Figure 4 stretch & calf stretches, I am getting awful cramps in my right calf - left one is fine. ADVICE PLEASE 🙏🌷
Great tips 👍🏽👍🏽 Couldn’t find the hand massager in your store under this video link There’s everything else available by you guys but no hand massager! Need to order one right away Not am Amazon fan 🤷🏼♀️will try anyway Thank you Brad and Mike 😊 15:06
I also could not find your hand massager but there are other massagers made by others. If you are paying Amazon to advertiser your products I suggest you get with them to add this product to your store.
I’m 72 and I do yoga beginning in my bed with stretches. My hamstrings, tendons and ligaments tend to be so tight that I have trouble walking so I do stretches for my legs. Try different stretches and adapt to fit your needs. The important thing is to stretch!
These are all very good stretching exercises, thanks guys! I hope you can answer my question re the #4 hip stretch, is that safe to do when a person has a knee replacement? I’m having a tough time tying up shoelaces as I’ve had both knees replaced.
Hi, we've alot of seniors here, yest a lady fell at the grocers, they helped her, I think she was a little in schock, saw her later walking home (as I biked by) no groceries but managing on her own, our hospitals here 1/2 with old people, they'll neglect you for days then throw a pacemaker in ya, keep you around for further neglect, 😝, stay well you're no good to anyone weak, saw old bud too, arm removed, flesh eating disease😢!
Thank you for this. Just one question --- I heard it is dangerous to stretch "cold" muscles, shouldn't they be warmed up first with some gentle exercises?
I had a terrible left groin pain last year it was excruciating in addition to a bad knee and carpal tunnel in my right hand and elbow and one of the orthopedic dr told me to do the figure 4 stretch. Hubby and I are walking around the neighborhood and I get weak at times but the pain in my lower back is very painful
Unfortunately this hand massager has been discontinued. We are working on another, more beneficial hand massager as this one was difficult to suit all sizes.
Every now & then a leg (usually calf) cramp happens in the night. I keep a 1/1 BioSonics tuning fork at my bedside. The vibration softens muscles & ends cramps.

Went to your website looking for the hand massager and it’s not there. Boooo

I love this channel
Thank you for the helpful tips. I miss Bob. Hope he is doing well. Send him regards.❤

😂😂
If you can get out of bed without stretching!
Getting out of bed IS a stretch! 😅
Miss Bob. I pray he’s doing well. Thank you for your tips.
Wonderful five stretches! Just what my older body needs. Thank you so much!
I’m 73 and most of these things I can do except reach up the middle of my back when bathing, even with the back scrubber, but I’m working on it. I did trip on a rug the other day from not picking up my feet. I do stretches in bed, especially the hips. Awareness of these very subtle changes is key. Keep moving. Thank you👍🙏🏻👵
Sounds like you're on the right track. The exercises they show here are awesome to work on.
Wonderful demonstrations. I will use this video often!! Thanks!! Hi to Bob!
Hiya Bob! Hope you're doing well. Brad and Mike are doing great but I miss ya bud!

MISS BOB TAKE CARE LOVE YOU BOB❤
I'm nowhere near close to being a senior, but I have all the body ailments of one. I love your videos, thank you, and I recommend you guys to everyone
You always do such a good job of explaining and demonstration.
Thanks for the instruction.
God Bless you both - VERY helpful

I hear ya. Things hurt a bit more as age increases but stay hopeful and optimistic. It’s okay to hobble.
Was doing good until early 40s and developed viral rheumatoid arthritis. Steroids got me walking again but nothing was ever the same. I do the best I can. Some stuff just plain hurts too much. Its a bummer but do what you can even if it hurts some, just don't overdo. Know your body.
🥰be kind to yourself. I get soreness with even a small amount of exercise sometimes. It is frustrating. I am over ten years younger.
it's happening to me too....age 79, female
No idea what brought it on....will just try to "work it out"
After years of joint pain, I started taking turmeric every morning and was amazed. I took it occasionally for pain with minimal results in the past.
Thanks! Always Helpful Information for Seniors!
Thank you for your support, stay well!
Brilliant boys! Thanks a lot. 😘
These are some really great stretches!! Thank you so much for putting this together! I’m also going to share this video with my parents!

You're an inspiration. I know a 73-year-old pilates teacher who can kick everybody's butt.
You guys are the best! As a senior, I need you in my life! Thank you.
Perfect timing guys!! Coming out of winter hibernation and creaky as heck 😂😂😂😂
I thank you 👍 God bless everyone 🪽

Did you have arthritis in your hip? Did you only have the one hip done? Curious
I've been doing the 4 hip stretch for a very long time since I saw you show it in another video. It's very helpful! The other stretches are as well! Thank you! ❤️ I like the variation of the hand stretch you showed. It also helps stretch the muscle down the wrist as I move my shoulders up. 😊
Great Video.
First one is so important. Thanks!
Ok guys make a Bob and Brad wall exercise pad for all of us who took endless nagging “ don’t touch the walls “( or wallpaper) throughout childhood😂
These are great! The hip stretch works on only one side for me; had hip replacement And gluteus medius re-attachment to my trochanter. Had shoulder and bicep surgery last year on right shoulder last April, and broke my left shoulder 6 weeks ago!! At 66 I am looking forward to these stretches!!

YIKES!
@@adrienneanderson-smith2257 You can say that again. Nobody told us when we were young that it was going to be so difficult later on.
Great recommendations for the hands. Do you have an exercise for the thumbs?
Thanks
I don't see the electric hand massager on your Amazon page. Can you tell me where it is?
For excerpts 2 what can you do if you can not get your leg up to your knee?
Thank you for this. Just one question --- I heard it is dangerous to stretch "cold" muscles, shouldn't they be warmed up first with some gentle exercises?
I miss Bob x
How is Bob doing? Mike is great, but we miss Bob!
Leg cramps at night, maybe you need to start taking some magnesium 400 mg, that could help you! 😊👍🙏
Lol, i have those shoes as well, Mike.
Hand massager isn’t coming up on your website. Link please?
When will,the hand massager become available?
I had a terrible left groin pain last year it was excruciating in addition to a bad knee and carpal tunnel in my right hand and elbow and one of the orthopedic dr told me to do the figure 4 stretch. Hubby and I are walking around the neighborhood and I get weak at times but the pain in my lower back is very painful

Tai Chi and Choy Li Fut forms for me sir! 👍💪👊
“You’ll walk in circles.” 😂😂😂
Thanks for watching!
If you're hypermobile, is stretching ideal it strengthening?
Every now & then a leg (usually calf) cramp happens in the night.
I keep a 1/1 BioSonics tuning fork at my bedside.
The vibration softens muscles & ends cramps.
Thank you or this. Where do you get the red stretching pole from? 🙂
