Can’t say enough good things about the exercises in this video. And having had shoulder surgery followed by back issues, have become an exerciser. I much prefer free weights to bands and have used both extensively, but now mostly free weights. I know you do have to purchase them and they lay around, but this is a lifetime commitment. I am now a 73 yr old female that loves working out. I have found that leaving the weights in the dinning or living room is both a reminder and a convenience. Ok, so they are in my living room, so what. I use them most days and maybe seeing them will inspire someone else. Admittedly, it is not easy to get in the habit, but when you do, it’s a great addiction. I was beginning to lose some balance, was not standing up straight, lost core strength and so on. The rewards have been worth it. I am not done using this body yet . If it takes you a few or many times to really get going, that’s ok. But keep trying; it is so worth it. And don’t be intimidated by numbers of repetitions and sets. Do what you can, especially at first. You will be so proud of yourself. And you will notice the difference. Will Harlow is excellent folks. This video is tops. Thank you so much for producing these for us older than fifty.

I do the first 3 exercises regularly. I am slowly doing the last two because I have a sore right shoulder. Easing into shoulder exercises is better with less weight. Thank you for your advice. I enjoy lifting weights and I’ve been doing it for 24 years. I’m 70.

Great all-round group of exercises to start me on my way. You always do a good job explaining and demonstrating for us. Thanks so much.

Thank you very much, Will, you have given a superb demo as well as a wonderful explanation of each of the exercises using dumbbells only for persons above 50years. I do most of these very exercises during my home work-out sessions. However, watching you is still a great inspiration for my next home work-out session and thereafter! Thanks again!

Great video. I cannot overly stress the great results this has provided me for my chronic low back pain. I have a L5/S1 bulge with worsening constant pain that persisted for over a year. I tried everything, weight loss, rest, yoga, PT, and nothing worked. It wasn’t until I added regular functional strength training w dumbbells doing these exact exercises that the pain gradually subsided and in a couple of months was completely gone. I now feel great and religiously follow a daily yoga+functional strength routine which has allowed me to even return to playing tennis regularly!

Great video as usual Just got your book and really enjoying it Turning 80 this year and plan to be around for another twenty years at least Many Thanks Will from Oakville Canada 🇨🇦

Thank you for clearly presenting useful exercises in an accessible manner. Simple, clear and encouraging. 👍

Fantastic Will, I had dumbbells for Christmas but didn’t know where to start😹Now I have no excuse!

Great set of weight exercises, explained clearly! What about coordinating proper breathing, when to exhale/inhale? An added pec exercise would be helpful. Thanks!

Was introduced to some exercises in the gym for seniors and noticed after doing some lateral raises for a few weeks that I was accumulating some extra tissue on my shoulders it turned out that it was muscle growth. Lol This stuff really works.

Been doing these for about 18 months. I'm 78 and they're quite helpful. I usually use kettlebell for goblet squats and deadlift. I also usually stand when doing lateral raises and shoulder press. Do you see any issues with that? Thanks

I've had hip replacement surgery on both sides. My biggest hurdle in recovery has been problems with my hamstrings being "too tight"; they twist my upper legs at the point where the implant inserts into the femur, causing extreme pain and instability. I went to PT for 6 months, did remedial exercises to address this and they did help a lot. I will try these to see if I can increase the strength and flexibility of this muscle group, and improve my stability and reduce that twisting and extreme pain that seems to come only at night now. Thank you!

Will Harlow's style is calm, caring, and sincere. Good series, Mr. J Guyana, aged 75

Love the simplicity of your lesson….and the fact you discuss a suggested weight range in kilos for each exercise! Yay!

A good guide. However, for those of us who work out in our homes and do not have the space to store dumbbells between exercises, exercising with bands is a more practical option. How about a video on using elastic bands?

Thanks dude for valuable tutorial.. I need and love it... I am 62 now start practice strength training...

Thanks for posting Will. All great exercises.

Thanks a lot, I'm 60 and I needed this good routine advice.

Great set of exercises & guidance on form thanks Will! I'm 44 and my focus is on bone & joint health for the road forward (peri & menopause). Getting great value from your content thanks so much.

Thanks Will. These exercises are excellent ❤❤😊😊

Good for beginners for sure

Nice and useful like always . However it would be of great help if you could add a list of conditions for which a particular exercise could aggravate the condition. Because most of the above 50 people have one or the other condition . Although you do add many times that if you feel pain doing a particular exercise, avoid it . Still adding a list of conditions could be more helpful . Thanks

Will, this video is so important. I have been looking for a video about using weights because I know that using weights is something women should be doing to help with osteoporosis. Thank you.

Thank you very much Will. I will try these exercises to combat my sarcopenia

Thank you very much, Will. I have been looking for exercises for dumb bells. I am always happy with your videos 😊

Great stuff, thanks. I'm 60 and have been told that squats are not ideal for someone my age (I have no knee issues). Agree? Thanks again!

And thanks for your time Will.

Thank you Will Harlow so much for all your precious information,YOU ARE GODS GIFT FROM HAVEN❤!

Excellent! Thx Will 🙌🏼 Just on my way down to the gym now, and I’ll be doing these! 💪🏼

Great demonstration!!! Thanks so much 😊

I will try to add these to my exercise routine. Thank you!

My man Will has an excellent physique. He’s inspiring all of us to do better!

Great work outs , thanks for the tips, very helpful will try them out.

Great exercises, fortunately I do them all already! Will increase my reps of the lateral raises, though.

Awesome example of good exercises for over 50s . Many thanks

I have had a stroke many years. Need exercise with dumbbells, arms etc. walking. Thanks ❤

Thanks for your explanation

great exerises, thank you for the techniques

I must get back to doing exercises in the gym Christmas broke my habit! Thanks for posting 👌

Thanks for the recommendation! Would you recommend a warm up before the workout with weights? and what about stretching afterward?

I hope its ok for over 65 too??😊I have problem with my knees, but this exercises I can do and it's very ok for me . Thank you.😊

Love those exercises Will.👍Thank you so much. You are amazing! Well done! I will be doing these!🌷🦋👍🤠

Brilliantly explained and demonstrated as always. Thank you. 👍

Great exercises. Thank you for your gift to over 50s

Im 60 years old and do full body exercise shrugs shoulders triceps biceps forearm squats calfs with 15 and 20 kg dumbels with six sets per body part is it ok plzz reply

Hi Will, I try to do strength training exercises but as I increase the weight I often get aches in my wrists, forearms and elbows. It's not simple sore muscles, I assume its tendons or other types of tissues, or an inflammation because it doesn't go away after a few days. It eventually gets better if I completely stop doing the exercise. So I am wondering if you could explain what causes this and what do to when someone gets this type of pain (stop exercising for x weeks?, use less weight? fewer reps?) and how to prevent it, ie when to increase weight on the dumbbell, how many reps to do, how many sets, how many days between workouts, etc. Thanks

Nice, I will recommend these exercise for my mother.

Thank you! I was looking for a dumbbell routine. I woukd be interested in a Part 2, with more...

Thanks a lot for your teaching.

I've been doing sumo squats as well as goblet squats, but no deadlifts. I might try swapping those in place of the sumo squats for a while as a variation to see what happens. I also do skull crushers for triceps and curls for biceps - they both work really well seated in a chair - unless of course you do what I did the other day when doing skull crushers and actually clonked myself on the head with the dumbbell - no serious damage done, but that is something you obviously want to be really careful not to do. Duh.

I employ continuous tension by not letting my my muscles relax at the midpoint of an exercise, and i have 50% stenosis in my lumbar, a herniated disc at L5, a herniated disc in my neck also. which precludes me from doing anything causing my spinal vertebrae to have overhead direct compression. I also have arthritis in my right knee that causes me to not put pressure on my knee joint at a right angle.

This is a great channel for people who want to get healthy and toned. No crazy geriatric Superman stuff here.

Will, please make a video on how to strengthen the muscles supporting the upper thoracic spine

awesome exercises, very well explained, small input, please stand against a light background in future so that it contrasts with your clothes and your movement is clearly visible. in this video the dark brown door was a little spoiler.

Great video. Thank you for posting,and I’ve duly subscribed. I’m 70 but slim and trying to keep that way 😊

My husband has sciatica. Can he do strength training exercises like these?He is 61 years. And what should be the weight of the dumbbells normally for over 50 years of age?

Thanks Will, for your clear explanations of each exercise. I've been thinking recently about buying a dumbell set for home use. Can you recommend a suitable set?

Thanks! That's exactly what I've been looking for. 🙏♥️

Thanks

Thank you

Your video is very helpful for my exercise.

Good Lesson !!! All doables....

Thank you for new video

Thnk you.very helpfull without the bs.

Thank you very much 😊

Very helpful,bravo

Don't know how worthwhile an exercise vid, but it makes a great drinking vid every time he says 'what we're gonns do'.

Thank you for this video, Will. Correct form is vital, but, in my case, easily forgotten! It's great to follow your moves and see how to do them properly.

Excellent!

I think the majority of people seniors in America are not up to date with the kilo conversion. So help us by saying both kilos and pounds.

I loved! Your exercises!

Great stuff, thanks!

Cool! QUESTION: Is there an advantage to the Seated Shoulder Press vs. doing it standing, if one's able to do either?

Great. I like this exesrcises. Thank u.

Thank you 👍

As I’ve got older found dumbbells to be better than a barbell especially for flexibility but I have found kettlebells to be even better & form over heavy weight & quantity cheers.

You're an humble young man. ✨️ no care about the holy right sock ❤

breathing is important too...

For over 50s, doing squats pushups pullups and dips will also help maintain some strength

I see you’re using those adjustable dumbbells. Do you like them? Some reviewers complain that they have an asymmetric feeling. Do the weights ever fall off? Thanks much.

Great job! I'm a dumb American, so I had to think about converting kilos to pounds!

4:48 Is the deadlift a safe exercise for someone with Spondylolisthesis? I would really like to strengthen my back but I have been afraid of exercises like this. If not, can you recommend an alternative?

Is it considered a full body workout?

Great...remember arm curls🏋‍♂️👍

Great Content 👍

Great

Hi, what is the recommended weight for the dumbell?

Weight of dumbbell pls

Another rest video. Thanks Will.

How much weight to be used you suggest

A good demo but I would never weight train in bare feet, I wear toe capped trainers as when placing weights on the floor sometimes I nip my toes and if goblet squatting 30 kg, if I drop the weight I’d easily brake a foot.
