I am not a senior but I fractured my right ankle and cannot stand on it nor lie down to work out. My lower back is becoming quite sore from using a knee scooter and crutches to get around. I am glad to have found this seated lower back strengthing routine which after just following it once, has already brought relief to my back pain! Thank you.

I woke up with back pain today, so I "asked" (searched for) Mike for help. :) Thanks Mike!!!

Hi Mike. Just started doing this video and am hoping to loosen up my lower back. I can't do some of the exercises fully but do what I can and will be measuring the progress. For example I can only reach my calves but will eventually touch my toes and can only just about cross my ankles but aiming to put my leg on my thigh. I love your videos Mike. I love your understanding and patience. I giggle when you remind me not to slouch! How do you know? I'm 82 and wish I had found you 3 years ago after my fall. We were locked down and couldn't leave the house so I had to do it by myself as I live alone. What a godsend your videos would have been. Wishing you love, laughter and joy. Off to do your upper body workout with weights. 🤣😘

Hi Mike. Once again thank you for your videos, your dedication and your commitment to senior health and exercise. 🙏🙏What a godsend you are. Since following your seated leg, weights, core and this one, for just a few weeks, I can now walk without a stick in the house and, yesterday, actually picked up something off the floor. Something I haven't been able to do since a fall in 2019. My lumber region was already damaged and like a block of cement but now there is life in it. Yeah!. You are an Angel. 😇May your day be filled with the love and joy you give to others. 🥰😘Glenda x

Hello Mike! About 7 weeks ago I had achilles reconstruction surgery. After 6 weeks I needed therapy, but due to high co-pay I couldn't afford it. I found your videos and now I am walking without an assistive device. I want to thank you for your devotion and caring compassion that you show to all your viewers. You truly helped me push through and walk again! Blessings!

Another great exercise, which I just found. Thank you Mike. I am now graduating to about an hour per day, each day. I do feel that my posture is getting better, and my legs stronger. I do leg strengthening, core and posture work, balancing, and some hip exercises. I seem to be quite good with the balancing, so will concentrate on the others a bit more. I still can't do the quadriceps, which I used to do regularly, a year ago. I think I had an injury of sort, or maybe the progress of my hip arthritis got in the way.

Hi Mike. You have some great videos. I am a 74-year-old man with lower back pain. I injured my back in 1984, so I've been living with pain for years. I live in Ontario, Canada. Lately, I've been getting a lot of upper and mid-back muscle spasms. The pain is about a # 7 out of 10. I found your channel and after doing your stretching exercises, my back is feeling better each day. I like the fact that you do the exercise with us. Not just telling us what to do. Following an instructor is more apt to get us to move. Thanks for sharing.👍👍🍁

I read your letter today, that's a beautiful picture. Sometimes it's nice to get away, I love to walk especially when the weather is nice, I go to the park there's a walking, running, biking, trail. Also many ducks, prairie dogs, and a lots of activities. The trail is a mile long but you can walk as many as you want, I've done your excercises today and I will go to the park. I love walking it's good for my heart and I've lost over 40 lbs. I wished I could be where you are it looks so beautiful, thanks for all you do by helping us seniors. I will be 73 yrs old next month and have had breast cancer, try to keep active. Thanks again!
