- Running is a high impact movement, which means if you aren’t doing it properly it could really be harmful and only works on one movement pattern. Follow along with coach Tyler while he shows you low impact moves that will still help you get that cardio in and work to strengthen more parts of your body!

I am 67 and have been running since I was 18, went to college in Oregon and everyone was running, so why not. I have never had to take time off due to any injury. The only time I took time off was after my son was born 42 years ago. Have done countless marathons and Ironmans. The only time I had an injury was when I played tennis. I am currently training for my 4th 100 mile ultra race. I will never stop because running is my therapist and my church, plus I think my body is able to handle the miles.
All runners out here good for you but some of us cannot and this is heaven sent!
I'll never quit running. At 57 years of age, I still love it too much. I plan to run a half Marathon when I am 60.
Good on you, I hope you achieve your goal. I'm 52yo and I've been a distance runner for about 7 years, and I love it. I ran a 1:36:00 for my first half-marathon and then I set myself the goal to run a sub-90min, but unfortunately I had a few surgeries and injuries in between however I'm glad to say that this year I achieved my goal. Next goal is to run a marathon in 3:15:00.
I was a competitive runner from age 16 til 50. Osteoarthritis killed my running sadly. I really miss it. In 34 years of running let me share a few things to hopefully keep you running longer:
1) lean body mass is very important. You need to stay lightweight to keep the impact forces on your joints low. In fact nobody over 180lbs should be running after age 40 (I was). Lose the weight.
2) lift weights. Not to get big but to get strong. posterior chain and back work is really important. Your running form will improve almost immediately when you do some glute strengthening work and lower and upper back strengthening.
3) Active rest: you don't have to run every day. On your recovery days do a bike ride or pool run or swim. Give your 50 year old body a break. But when you do run make it count, do hard workouts.
4) have fun. running is one of the best antidepressants out there.
@@thepsychologist8159 I won't be running a Marathon. Too much dedicated time training. Right now, I'm just planning on running a 10K next summer. I had to have radiation this summer which set me way back or I would be running the 10K this calendar year.
@@jimmason8502 You should do something about the arthritis. It is curable.
1) This is bad advice. At 6'3", my weight stays between 190 - 200. You can't just give a weight and say anyone above or below this weight is good or bad.
4) You are 100% correct on that.
@@glenn7721 Yes, you're right. There's a lot of time invested in training for a marathon. Unfortunately I got injured in late July this year just as I was ramping up my weekly long run (was easily running a half-marathon in 1:33:30) and at that stage I was already up to 85km per week. I will only do it once.
You have to want to stop running to quit running. I’m a 60 year female who has been running since I was a teenager. I run for my mental health and don’t plan to give it up unless I have no alternative.
same here
No. You are supposed to give up doing something that can be useful in a variety of situations, and instead do some glorified calisthenics that will make you REALLY good at doing glorified calisthenics!
Good warm up movements for a run. Keep on Running!
I have been consistently walking 20,000 to 30,000 steps per day for the past two years. Recently, I have even achieved over 1 million steps in a single month during several consecutive months. Additionally, I engage in occasional running, and I am continually amazed by my performance. Walking is often underestimated as a physical activity for the human body.
Walking is good
Brisk walking is even better
Yess i love my morning walk ✌🏼
Try power walking into works for me@@jc4evur661
I'm age 66 and do 3 sets of reverse lunge every other day with 30lb barbells for strength. I hike or cross-country ski the other days 6-10 miles for endurance. Since I am retired, plenty of time for hiking 2-3 hours outdoors here in Alaska.
Well done !! What a great outlook on life you have . May you continue to enjoy life to the fullest 👍🏽
Good for you! I turned 70 in September, retired 3 years back and exercise everyday, constantly mixing it up. Yea, we have plenty of good quality time to pursue the good things in life. I hike almost daily with my Belgium Shepherd, back into the hills of a Park adjacent to my country home. I did cross country ski, traditional style, when we lived in a snow zone, one of the very best sports for strength and endurance, upper and lower body, but now that we live on the West Coast I just stick to hiking, calisthenics, lifting, and HIT exercises, never felt better. Hey, try this one ! I just completed a 1000 rep squat workout with Caroline Girvan on RUclips….she's a lovely Irish lady, a fitness instructor with wonderful fitness routines…well worth it to help mix things up. Keep up the good work!! Cheers from Canada!
Heaven...
Walking, best exercise ever.
@@TravisMcGee151 …up and down hills or stairs with a rucksack and/or a dumbbell in one or both hands, I agree - great to work the cardio respiratory system.
Thanks for the advice. Now I’m past 55 I’m constantly looking for ways to keep fit and healthy. Tomorrow I’ll start your routine.
Thank you so very much for these adapted gentler exercises. Your channel is a real blessing. I'm so glad it came into my feed a few months ago. I've been battling severe fibromyalgia since my 50s, plus from some effects of a recent minor stroke, but I still try to keep fit however I can & by not overwhelming my body, otherwise it sends me into relapse & more pain & chronic fatigue. It can be frustrating at times because when I was younger I was into everything, including running. But health issues unrelated to fitness levels can attack anyone, anytime. I've watched much younger, super fit running friends suddenly be struck down so it made me realise the need to stay happy & not begrudge my health & do what I can for myself within my own physical capability. Your channel helps me immensely with choosing less painful options. Wishing you much success. 😊⚘
💜wishing you all the best for keeping up your healthy lifestyle despite your diagnosis
@@paularobinson5031
Awwww. You're such a sweetheart. Thank you so much for your lovely wishes. Wishing you also a life full of blessings.
@@ajc2208 you are so welcome - have a super wonderful day ( or night as it is here in australia 🇦🇺).. found this channel a few weeks ago and agree his advice and videos are fantastic 🤗
Yes. Keep moving. I had to modify and now I just walk. With Winter on its way I’m looking for something else because walking dogs is interesting but a machine is unbearable boring. True I had to hurt myself and made things worse before I “gave up” most exercising I used to do. Im gonna do some of the stretching I used to do. It seems to require getting down on the floor which has a mat for this but getting back up is such a trial!
@@paularobinson5031
Lol. What a small world. I'm in Melbourne.
I think nr. 1 will be the biggest challenge for my body but I’ll for sure give it a try. Thank you so much🙏🏻❤️. You are an excellent teacher!
Wow thanks. Your timing is perfect. I was looking for exercises to do in a small place. Winter is coming so not always easy for go outdoors and i definitely not a runner.
INNOVATIVE!!!...👏👏👍👍 EXCELLENT presentation, superbly HELPFUL!!!... Thank you!!.. 🏆🏆🏆
Walking is the best !! So under rated !! I put on a 25 lb weight vest and walk briskly....i get zone 2 hr and just as sweaty after 5 miles as running ...but ..without the wear n tear on joints and for me more importantly im not burning up hard earned lean muscle!!
I just turned 50 and ran a 10k Spartan race. It was a blast. I wouldn't have thought I could do it 10 years ago. I'm going to keep running.
If I practice and enjoy running for 50 years, why would I quit running? With age I just reduce distance, time spent and pace. Many individuals find joy and satisfaction in the simplicity and freedom of running. By the way, in addition to my favorite activity I can try your 3 exercises. But in addition...😊
Some people wind up with bad knees or other conditions though, maybe through not using good form when running. And they don't reduce distance, time or pace in time to avoid problems. Glad to hear your half century of running has brought you joy and you are in good shape to continue!
You would quit it when your knees blow out. Just ask older people than you on how kneecap replacement surgery goes. It pays to heed the warning
@@AHEUTUBE , a few days ago I stopped a thanked an elderly guy who is jogging on the same trail where I jog for many years in a row. I thought he was 70, max 75. I was wrong, the guy is 87. He said he is jogging every day (in his pace), is doing pull-ups on the kid's grounds, squats, hangs on a bar... He doesn't want to stop his activity and doesn't complain about his knees or anything.
I have just discovered your channel and am binge-watching. There is so much to see and do and I don't know where to start.
As I live in South Africa, going for walks alone is now not always safe, so I have to do something indoors. Your stretch exercises are the answer. Thank you very much.
Never felt so out of shape until I tried the reverse lunges. Found that I favor one knee over another as I was terrified when attempting to lunge with my left knee. Thanks for this; I clearly have some work to do.
Thank you, I need these to build muscle/endurance for my walking ❤️
These videos are so helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for the cross training tips as I CONTINUE TO RUN!
Love how you explain every little detail. You are awesome!
I've always been a huge fan of "gentle" movements to strengthen muscles... Thanks for your videos!!!
At 68, this channel is priceless. Thank you.
I thought I had invented some of these because I never saw anyone doing them, and you’re right on the spot with demonstrating them 🙏🏽
Running gives me piece of mind. For over 20 years now. So, even at 57, I won't stop that, just because you said so.
Excellent presentation. Not just strengths in movement but also opening up the hip flexors. Mine are so tight from years of road riding and not paying attention to stretching
The most underrated aspect of a workout is stretching.
I like these exercises ! I think these more efficient than running 🏃
We live in the era of communication and knowledge sharing. While some of us develop weapons to annihilate human beings in large numbers, others of us share our knowledge to improve the health of people we don't even know. We humans are an amazing species.
By doing only these three movements, it felt like I had a complete workout. And I'm sure that it can only get easier as I strengthen my leg and core muscles. Thank you for these gentle exercises. Indeed helpful!🙏
Complete workout? You should try my 12 kilometers increasingly more uphill run.......... that's a complete total body workout!
@@tedallison6112
I power walk on my treadmill but start at a 4% incline and work up to the max, 12%. I do this for 10-20 min and I feel it everywhere versus just walking or even running on a level surface for 30 min.
@@cjhoward409 -interesting, even as I'm a competitive distance runner..... I once saw a proposal that doing the following every day would bulletproof you: 30:00's @ 3MPH @ 12% incline.
Ugh.... sounds hard.
My treadmill does 20% up & 5% down & 4:40 per mile!!! I like doing for example an hour run where every minute is a change of incline & or speed ( keeps you literally on yr toes)
@@tedallison6112 A good workout, certainly, but it doesn't seem to do too much for the upper body. A friend did similar distances and had no muscle mass in shoulders or arms at all. Eventually, she supplemented the distance work with some resistance training.
@@cjhoward409 Do you live in an area with only flat land? Walking or running has some benefits that the treadmill can't give you, esp. if some of your run is on uneven surfaces, as the treadmill's pace only varies if you change it. Also, our brains are wired so that we are used to moving through the landscape, whereas, on a treadmill our legs are moving, but our brain does not see the landscape move. Some scientists suggest that too much treadmill training can actually make normal locomotion feel unnatural. If you can, it is a good idea to find some variable terrain, even if you stay on a fairly smooth path, and go up and downhill. Of course, the treadmill is a useful tool if you can't find such terrain. If you vary the length and steepness of hills (and if you are careful coming down) you will find that this will work "everywhere" as effectively as (if not more than) the treadmill.
You're a good mentor! Sir. 😊 it helps 😊
Been running since 1976..just started having problems from running..this is awesome for runner less ..
Thank you I am going to try that for a minute each and I’m gonna do it three times and I’m gonna love these movements. We tried it once with my granddaughter and we’re gonna try it. I love it thank you.
Thanks for patiently reviewing key topic ❤❤❤
Hello and all thanks for this exercices to do home. 🙏🙏🙏
Have a very good day.
Sandrine/France
Wow! This is the answer to my desire for something other than running (I've never been a runner)! Thanks for putting this together.
If you’ve never been a runner, how do you know you desire something other than running?
I am a runner, although I "jog" at a snail's pace now. What I would miss about this routine is being outside and jogging through my neighborhood.
These three workouts are NOT a replacement for running. Running has many, many more benefits than what this guy demonstrates. Strengthen your body yes, but run if you want to.
@TheRozylass. If you have never been a runner, does that mean you have never run or that you have tried it and didn't like it? These exercises are good, but they don't affect the body in the same way as a steady state run. If you don't wish to run, you can get the same benefits from cycling, swimming or even walking. The only thing walking cannot do is give you the same stimulus as a very fast run - but that should not be the major part of your training in any case. A good walk and some occasional hill climbs can give you a lot of the same benefits as running. Hill walks can work the same muscles as lunges, etc. and with the benefit that you are getting somewhere and seeing the sights.
This is awesome. It's the perfect workout for me and I love your approach. I'm 60 and take care of my dad full time, I don't have a lot time but I need to do more movement
I take care of my Dad, too. Keep taking care of yourself ❤
Yes, as a caregiver you need to give some priority to your own health (physical, mental, emotional) so you will be able to continue taking care. It can be very wearing if you give yourself over entirely to that, although it seems harsh when you first think about it. You have to find a balance and it can be difficult to decide, depending upon the specific situation of your dad or whoever you might be caring for.
Love all 3 of these, Thank You
Thank you very much, I needed this😊
Please do a video on exercise for women above 50 yrs of age
No way could I do the first one due to my osteo arthritis but I like the look of the other 2... Will give them a try... Thanks for this😊
These exercises seem fine, and would do more to build muscle strength than running. I am glad you acknowledge in the video description that running can be harmful IF you run with improper form. But, for anyone who runs WITH proper form, I hope this video does not discourage them from running, because it is the best thing for longevity and cardiovascular health. I am a 54 year old. 6'7" 240 pounds and run 3 miles a day with proper form. So, I have zero pain or negative impact on my joints.
I quit running a while ago, and now focus on strength workouts, love it!
Squats are the best, they give you so much core strength and power.
Thank you for this informative discussion.
I love your videos, thank you!
Thanks for these. I am however an endurance running enthusiast. I participate in half marathons once in an year. Running has a therapeutic effect on me and cannot stop running. These exercise however would be handy for people like me on rainy seasons when outdoor running becomes difficult or even dangerous ( i am from coastal south India where the rains are heavy and last for a few months)
I do running and another type of exercise. Will not stop running because it's fun. I love joining running events with so many people, some even become friends. It's not just run but also socializing, laughing n cheering each other, also one fun way to release my stress..
It is possible to do both running and what you demonstrated, for a number of people. The lunges are good for strengthening, stability , and flexibility which can help IF, you run. Try to avoid putting a negative spin on running. It's not bad for everyone.
Your right. This is just more fitness b s. There's no comparison to these exercises and running.
Yep! No context at all. If you haven’t run recently, sure you should progress slowly. But there is nothing wrong with running. Strength training complemented by some form of cardio that a person enjoys is what a person should be doing. “Impact” isn’t a problem. Impact that you haven’t built a tolerance too is
Lots of people who DO run, wind up stopping because of bone spurs or knee problems that may have come about because of poor form or the wrong surface or poor choice of shoes. That will make "impact" a problem, but they don't know they chose something wrong. So they give it up. He's looking for those people to get them to keep exercising.
@@1234cheerful if you are injured from what you assume was running. See a physio. Strength train, rehab. Do it properly. Then if you enjoy running, run again. 👍🏻
@TheTMS726 thanks. I am not, but I know people who did. I assume physio means physiotherapist, not physician. I did some running years ago but moved away from the good running area. I am more into other forms of exercise now. But you have recommended an excellent rehab method: therapy, strength training, cardio. No rush, let things heal before you go back!
this is a good one! my knees are so much happier.
looks great. i‘m so frozen … time to get back into some movement! mvt 1 is a good preparation for the horse-asana which is part of the various sun prayers. mvt 3 to a qigong variation of jumping jack. super! 😺👻🙏🏻
Thanks for the post Sir, I love doing 100 push-ups , sit-ups and squatting 5 times a day. I still have skinny legs my friends tease me with chicken legs. I'm 6'3 in height and have a six-pack medical student Malaysia God bless 🙌🙏
I started running late in life. Did my first half marathon for my 50th birthday. But my knees eventually deteriorated. I had an orthopedic doctor tell me I was bone on bone and would never run again. I has a small surgery to clean up my right (injured) knee and began these kinds of workouts. These are excellent and at 63 I incorporate these exercises and continue to workout every day aerobic and weight training.But, I really miss running, that feeling cannot be replaced by bike rides, swimming or anything else. But at least I can still walk, pretty fast too, for 5 miles. For everyone who loves how their body feels in motion I hope you never give up! ❣️
Thank you very much for your videos 💖
I needed this post 2 ACL surgeries, no meninscus and arthritis. The elliptical and this should workout for my cardio.
Thank you for the video 😊
Great instruction!
New exercises for me to use. Thanks!
This is a good start. Train on everyone!
I can't run cuz I'm disabled but this is a great alternative I can do to get things moving and build muscle in the right places
Yes, luv this!❤️
The human body has been “engineered” for running, an activity every child knows well. Later, our lifestyle makes us abandon this practice so that, once grown up, we don’t know anymore how to run. Still running, as long as it is done correctly, can have a very big positive impact on our health. Running should not be replaced but helped.
My injury prevents me from running so has to be replaced with something
I agree! I have ADHD and running are my "meds!". The shoes make all the difference in regards to your impact and many RUclips videos help with form. Maybe just rephrase the title to say, "if you want an alternative to running". I hate negative comments but like to point out when things don't seem right...:(
This has nothing to do with the wrong title of this video. It's obvious that if you can't run you can't run.@@gprider1525
I really enjoy your exercises on your site and do them. As a senior, I find them so helpful and have sent others to your youtude channel. Will you let me know what is the brand of treadmill walker are you using here for days when going out is not an option. Thanks
I just retired from the military and drastically reduced the amount of running I do since it hurts my hip. I ride my bike for my cardio exercise.
Thank you so much for this enlightening. I am going to be 70 y.o next year - if I am allowed - so I do need this kind of exercise
Must try these. Last time I ran I tore a ligament on my back. (Probably waiting to go according the physio. Longish story).
But I now have a laterally tilted pelvis that I keep trying to stretch back into place. The lunges look like they might help.
These are good alternatives I might try to give my old joints a break now and again.
The thing is, as far as I understand, recent research has concluded that the old "high impact is bad for your joints" way of thinking is misguided. In moderation, high impact exercise like jogging and running is actually good for your joints-- just be careful not to overdue it or hurt yourself!
Thank you!!!!❤❤❤❤
You'll take my running shoes when my body stops twitching! I love the sense of motion, it is what evolution built us for! Plus my increased lung capacity served me well when I got walking pneumonia and COVID-19! Best calorie burn for the time spent!
I HAVE been able to get the same calorie burn for the same time on the elliptical. And it's lower impact, but you feel like a gerbil.
I use the elliptical during the winter months when there's ice and snow on the ground and agree about its efficacy. But yeah no sense of motion!@@AJHart-eg1ys
Good exercises - I will use them as warm up, to my running 🙃
Love it! Ty
Thank you👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
thank you so very much ♥️
Thank you a lot a lot!
If you’re reading this comment, it’s too late, you’ve already been immensely blessed with an abundance of love, wealth, luck, health, joy, and whatever else your heart desires!! I’m so proud of you for surviving everything you’ve been through. This is your sign to go after what your heart most desires for the highest good, it’s your time....
I did quit running. I'm glad too. Because as a nurse I took care of a man who ran many marathons and he had such bad feet damage he needed surgery. But I never ran as much as he did. I like these 3 exercises. Thank you
thanks. unfortunately these exercises hurt my hallux valgus. do you know alternatives?
Thanks for the video. Since I'm overweight and out of shape and sometimes feel like I've throw out my ankle when I run, I might try these out. Still, if someone doesn't have weight or joint issues, wouldn't it be better for them to walk or run and then do some side shuffling and planks? Seems like the exercises you demonstrated wouldn't do as good a job of stressing and training the muscles as walking/running, fast shuffling and then planks or weights or yoga for core and limb strength.
with no issues, maybe it would. And you might find that over time you build your ankle up so you don't have that problem, or not as much. But these do train the muscles, as he shows what NOT to do in setting up so your form is good and you get the best benefit. I think his concern is that running can cause joint issues for some people, if their form is off or they actually have an imbalance like favoring one leg ever so slightly over another over the years, or they have run on unfriendly surfaces.
Good Work out Thanks
LOVE !!! WeShape
Thanku sir for these exercise 🙏👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Love it..
Its great for me, my knees thanks you
Hello sir.. What are exercises for foot drop patient? And ankle strengthening exercises?
Great video! I have a torn mencius in my knee.
I like it.
Thank You
I, unfortunately, had to stop running due to exertion migraines. I had been in sports my entire life and exercise was my go-to for everything. I miss running and hard exercises so much and pray that one day, I will be able to get back it again. But until then, exercises like these will help me to be able to do some sort of exercise without a debilitating migraine attack afterward. I even have to be careful with these, though, because planks also cause me to have migraines.
Simple and smart
You’re the best ever❤
Definitely going to recommend this video to my friends and love one. Because we're old. Lol
Merci 🙏❤️
I "enjoy" speed walking on inclined treadmill. Working on increasing weight and backpack weight.
I'm 45 and out of shape, but want to get back into backpacking 🎒🥾 🌲
These exercises look like some great supplementation 👍
@davidhartley6232 - get outside, if you can and if it's safe. Walking on the ground, even for a short distance at first, is going to get you used to shifting weight over imperfect terrain better than a treadmill with a set speed. Even on the flat, most outdoor routes are not absolutely even, unless you are on a designed running track. Going uphill can introduce other factors apart from the measured incline - road surfaces and even paths/sidewalks can have a camber/incline across the hill as well as the downward slope. Even if you intend to walk mostly flat routes, mixed terrain and learning to balance your bodyweight without thinking about it will help when you also have to compensate for the movement of a heavy backpack.
As a person with cerebral palsy, which impacts my balance and gait, I found that including "fartlek" in my walking improved my agility and balance more than anything else. Although most people think of fartlek only in terms of speed-play - fast and slow intervals, I encountered it in terms of running on varied terrain, through sand or through woods, where the terrain would naturally impact running speed. In my case, it meant switching from the pavement (in the UK, the "pavement" is the sidewalk) and onto the grass verge or cutting across the corner of a field and then back onto the road. I was also fortunate to grow up in a hilly area with differing degrees and lengths of incline.
@@charleshayes2528 I appreciate your response 🤗 Thank you.
Two things against me:
1. I live on the PNW coast, making a over half the year difficult to get outdoors with significant soaking to the bone.
2. A few years ago a homeless handout center was opened up just a city block away, turning the whole area into a crime-ridden area 😡 😢, and making the beloved trails right behind the apartment complex extremely unsafe.
I still try to get out and "touch grass" when I can. It's just not as often as I would like or should be 😢
So how long do you do this exercises time wise, and how many times a week?
I run 24 km a week, but being 62 , I know one day I will have to give this up due to my knees, and ankles.
What adjustments for reverse lunges when I'm 120 lbs overweight? I believe this is a routine Id like to add to my healthy practice b
Don't go all that low for a few months as you strengthen your thighs. if you have a couple of 5 pound weights, once you get the basic movement, hold them with your arms straight down to increase the load a bit.
What is the name of the treadmill that you are using at the beginning of the video and is it inexpensive?
Thank you, this is great! Is there a reason why you're barefoot, ie only to demo? Have hurt tendons which are a long time healing and need to wear shoes.
Amazing , how many times a week should I do these ?
This does not replace anything. This is just an additional routine.
Does the knee touch the floor in the reverse lunge, or does it hover above the floor?
Sorry but running is just about the best exercise that anyone can do. 1) being outside in the fresh air is quite simply invaluable for human mental and overall health. 2) running maintains back, knee and hip mobility which is crucial as people age. Please don’t discourage running, full mobility with age is more important than when younger.
You should say "if you like running then go ahead and continue, but if you want an alternative try this". A much broader message that can appeal to all.
it's all clickbait and their numbers, they could care less about if someone stops running or not.
Thank you
