Hey Everyone, as some of you know, I’ve been in the middle of moving houses. This video was filmed before I left and I finally got around to editing it. I’ll be uploading another in the coming days, before new ones from the new set. Stay tuned and keep moving!! Mike xo
Thanks Mike, although I have difficulty getting up and sitting down from the chair, I have greatly improved my posture and strength with all the exercises I have been training since I started with you, a long time ago. For which I am grateful and little by little I will try.
I lost the use of my legs 18 months ago after covid,i found your channel on RUclips,what a difference it has made. I do several of your exercises,i do the legs now every day, and this week i went shopping (with a trolley)on my own for the first time in ages,i felt so good afterwards,i didn't think shopping could be so enjoyable! Thank you Mike so much for what you're workouts are doing for me it's so appreciated.cheers mate.
Love this Dave!! Amazing to hear. Thank you for sharing! Won't be long before you're adding in weights with it all! Keep up the good work, and keep me updated on your progress!
Good quick workout! I have been known to do calf raises standing in line at the grocery store. Also. I love to do squats, but I hold weights while doing them. The slower ones are harder, but very effective. Thank you Mike.
Great, Mike! I've just added this video to my lower body playlist. More squats, more calf raises, and more sit-to-stands are so important! Thank you! PS - So glad you're settled in such a beautiful area! I just saw a documentary on Kangaroo Island, which I think is very close to you. Fantastic, and I hope you'll get to spend time there hiking!
Viewed your video, Mike. It's progressive and encourages me to try to go deeper into the squats. My partials have deepened somewhat. Sit to stands are still problematic for me due to the knees, but I do try them periodically. Overall, this is a good one to tuck in here and there between longer routines. Your guidance is so helpful. PLEASE, PLEASE add this to your collection of exercises for easy access. That library is most handy and helps me plan in an instant what I plan on doing from day to day. Thanks!...Anastasia
Mike I really need this. My walking is deteriorating and my legs are suffering due to Spinal Stenosis. I waste time in the morning sitting with a drink and scrolling Facebook. Also is a stationary bike good for legs. Thankyou for inspiring me today.
Hi Mike thanks for all you do helping us with exercises we oldies can do, can I ask how many times a week we should be doing these exercises and how long before we should benefit from these. I really appreciate all you do. ❤
You're welcome Anne. If new to exercise, start with 3 times per week. One day off in between, just to allow the muscles to recover and to ensure you're not overdoing it. You can gradually build this up over time. You should begin noticing benefits after the first week if consistent with the exercises.. It's also not uncommon for some to get results after the first time doing the exercises, as they're waking up muscles that haven't been used in a while! :) The benefits will continue with continued exercise and gradual progressions. Keep up the good work!
I just did these. I find my knees get stiff and my question is 'At 77, how many days does it take before knees seize or get stiff if you don't exercise them?' After Pulmonary Rehab yesterday ( 1 hr), my lower calf muscles were really sore last night. I rubbed in Goanna heat cream which seemed to help, and took another Panadol Osteo so I could get back to sleep. Sometimes, you feel that the aches and pains you get from exercise is detrimental. Would appreciate your comments, Mike. I love the way you say 'shake out those legs'.
Thanks for all you do for the elders. I take bits and pieces of these routines and create my own short routines, 5-10 mins, and mix them up and try to do 4 scattered out throughout the day. I feel better physically, as well as better about myself. The sense of accomplishment everytime gives me positive moral. Balance was my biggest downfall,and it's greatly improving. Thanks again.
And your leg exercises from 5 years ago. I wish you would incorporate more from the five years ago into the present video. On a personal note you cleaned up real good in 5 years
I do this in the kitchen where I hold onto the fake drawer handle on the front of the sink worktop, it doesn’t move and gives me stability and stops me from falling backwards
It's hard for me to do squats, so I'll try it in my kitchen, I hadn't realized it and I'm going to try it, thanks for commenting, I'll take advantage of it.
@@inmablancofont329 I also use resistance thick elastic tubes with grip handles (see amazon) you can loop them through or around things that you know do not move, and also anchor them in the tops of doors that open outwards, therefore not opening on you, or towards you! You can search for demonstrations videos on here. You don’t have to do deep squats to begin with, and just doing any exercises with firm handles for balance is just that added safety. Happy exercising! 😊
At what frequency should these sets of exercises be done? Once a day? More often? Less often? ( I am 82 and have lost most of my leg strength, to such an extent that I find it impossible to stand up again after a fall.
You can get your legs stronger. As you are quite weak in your legs, start with every second day for the first couple of weeks. As you get stronger add in an extra day, until you're doing them every day. Also build up to 3 sets of each exercise for the repetitions. I hope that makes sense. You will make improvements.
Nice work noticing it Janet. Yeh make sure they're staying in line with those toes for both the squats and the sit to stands. If they're coming in stick to the partial squats, until they get stronger.

I do these exercises every day, usually while cleaning my teeth! They don’t seem like much but I agree with Mike, they definitely make a difference.

A bit easier today , still having to hold arms of chair but hope to get there soon
Can I ask, will these exercises help with numbness in lower left calf please? Edited to say I am in my 80th year but still agile.
Yes, Bernadette, these exercises can help improve circulation and strength, which may reduce numbness. Keep up the great work staying active!
A bannister works too.

@@MoreLifeHealth Thank you, I shall do just that.

How many times a day can you do these strengthens leg exercises .
Start with once a day Wendy - Work up to 3 sets of each exercise.
Have. Noticed my knees bending in so praps this will stop further deterioration
Nice work noticing it Janet. Yeh make sure they're staying in line with those toes for both the squats and the sit to stands. If they're coming in stick to the partial squats, until they get stronger.

Why would I take advice from someone with no leg muscles
