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.
@oldnatty617 ай бұрын
The shoulder press hits the shoulder, consequently you'd be better off doing some type of chest press instead of the lateral raise. Also, be sure to do shoulder pre-hab work.

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!

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
@lorriewatson74237 ай бұрын
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!

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

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

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.
