Omg! I walk about 15,000 steps a day. I don’t have a car. I am 72. I make all my food including breads. I eat whole plant based food with 2 egg boiled most days and fish most days. I run most days. Recently fell with my standard 80 lb poodle. Ran into his back legs sprinting across the traffic. Went down knocked the wind out of me. Bloodied me up but no permanent damage or broken bones. I think too many people take too many supplements and tout all meat, vegan and what not. Love your food and enjoy life.

Learned something new from you today , muscles and strength is not related . Wow, game changer 👍

@inveritategloria 7 күн бұрын

Try and rephrase, because muscles are absolutely related to strength. The interpretation is more likely that those who no longer can build muscle or keep muscle mass, still can exercise to build strength. The older we get, the more difficult it is to keep strength. Slight exercise is what is needed for good maintenance.

I didn't realise there was a difference between the muscle mass strength and neural network strength! Maybe I have weak neural network, and that's why it's made a difference already after just one set! Thank you, great video.

Thank you Wil I have been so worried about how unsteady I've become after not going out much over this long winter we've had, I'm not walking good now, so using a stick. I am 79 and like to keep busy baking, cleaning ,gardening etc, but when I tried doing my usual daily walk when spring came I felt really frightened as to how I had seized up! I used to walk quite smartly for about an hour but only managing twenty mins now. I feel you've given me an answer to my problem and a lifeline so I will start the exercises asap, thank you so much .

@HT-Physio 2 күн бұрын

I'm so pleased my video was able to offer useful information to help rebuild your strength and confidence with walking. It sounds like you've got a lovely set of activities that keep you busy too, and hopefully these exercises can help with all of those too! Wishing you all the best :)

I’m almost 89 and keep moving. I do leg exercises every morning before getting out of bed, walk every day, even practice walking backwards, helps with balance. My daughter bought me a Fitbit so I try to do 7,000 steps, have done as much as 13,000. Also try to stand straight and eat healthy. With the weather so hot I go to a big box store or mall and walk, like to walk fast. Still drive and do my own housework.

Good day. Thank you for the very helpful physical exercises for seniors you are teaching. They are a great help. I will be 72 years old in 2 months time and have been fairly active in my younger days with tennis, cycling, golf, and gym work among other activities. Turning 60s was not much of a problem physically, but hitting the 70s, one really notices the loss of strength, stamina, and balance. Seniors really must spend some time for exercise to maintain their health and keep their balance to avoid falling accidents.
