I’m only 28 but I’ve been chronically ill for the last few years and getting my strength back has been a nightmare. I tried this video out this morning on a whim and it feels SO GOOD to do a light workout and not have to worry about overexerting my body. Thank you for being clear, concise, and encouraging! :)

I have been able to sleep through the entire night without using the restroom! Just one week of this regiment. I am recommending you to all my friends! Carpe Diem!!!!

This is excellent. Back in the day (the Stone Ages) I lived a physical life. I was a high school and college athlete, served in the Army and eventually competed in long distance running(5k, 10k, marathons, etc). Unfortunately I maintained that warrior mentality and pushed myself beyond the limits a 70 year old should. I’ve paid the price for my stupidity. This video puts things in perspective for me so that I can acknowledge my body’s limitations.

I am 68 years old and for fist time I hurt my upper arms by becoming instant gardener and carpetner as soon as I moved in the house. For a month and a half I worked eagerly every day until that night when sharp pain in my upper arm woke me up. I could not move the arm.... The difference between you and me is that I never worked physically that hard. So must be the stage I happend to be at the present time. I do feel sorry for me, you and anyone that must go through such a pain. The good thing is that I am enjoying the outcome of my effort, but will not do it insuch a speedy msnner Ever... Thank God we have Mike to help us. I only hope he lives close...

I love Mike. I am 73-years-old and have been using his videos off and on for months. It's so easy to do and he is so easy to understand and follow. His good looks and accent are an added bonus. I encourage ANY Senior to try these. I hate to admit it, but doing these exercises has greatly diminished my bursitis, my arthritis in my right shoulder, and many other aches and pains I had from being an old couch potato. I am recommending him to everyone I know, my age or not. For younger folks, these are a super way to ease into more exacting exercises. I am SO glad I found this site. I LOVE IT! I would love to buy the videos. Are these available in DVD?
