Your book Will is brilliant and you’re such a find being able to explain these exercises in simple forms and for any age really truly well done with your channel and your company you deserve all the success-all the best, Neil

[@HT-Physio]

Thank you so much for your generous comment, Neil, I truly appreciate it. Thank you for purchasing my book, I'm so pleased to hear you've found it valuable. I'm sending best wishes your way 😃

[@creativelady7]

I am 72 and doing these with 3 lb dumbells and after a while may graduate to my 5s. I am in fair shape as I work alot physically around my large home and 1 acre yard. I know i still have many muscles i could strengthen and use more efficiently. Mostly I need more hip flexor work and I use your videos. Thanks, Will.

[@munichmunich5868]

Very good looking lady the work out surely must be a big advantage

[@MeMe-sy4sb]

Thank you for this video & channel. My husband & I (65+) will be planning a workout with your videos. We know ourselves well enough that actually driving to the gym on a regular basis will not happen. Muscle stiffness & loss is becoming an issue. I have non diabetic bilateral peripheral neuropathy & will be scouring your videos for tips.

[@evaadams8298]

Exactly what I was thinking… 👍

[@HT-Physio]

I'm very happy to help - I hope these exercises can be beneficial for you and your husband!

[@kaysilvester5095]

Ditto me and my husband too. We are both over 65 these exercises are brill

[@kaysilvester5095]

I've just bought your book

[@gel210]

I am 60 and started dumb bell resistance training at 55 for 3 years ,and then got a chin up bar ,I stoped weights 2 years ago and stick to dead hangs pull ups ,press ups and core ,and some light leg training every day total twice a day 10 mins each ,,and eat only 10/percent carbs ,plenty of meat fish and lots of organic eggs ,I have a good six pack and feel 30 again .

[@Julia29853]

Can those pull-ups, press-ups, etc replace *all* the arm exercises?? That is pretty cool! Do you do pushups?

[@lesleycrane7474]

Thanks, always hurt my wrist or shoulder trying to do arm strengthening so a slow walk through with proper form is helpful.

[@HT-Physio]

So pleased my video was helpful - proper form is key!

[@krisclemence-lucas7343]

Thank you, Will! You have inspired me to get back into ARM exercises!!!! 57 and getting back into great health. So grateful for you and your channel here!!! ❤😁 krissy from Michigan

[@HT-Physio]

So great to hear my videos have helped you get back into your routine - keep up the fantastic work Krissy! 😃

[@Amyjwashere]

I am now doing one set of light weights full body every morning as a “warm up.” I have a very active job and this totally helped!

[@HT-Physio]

Keep up the great work!

[@vijayakumarp7593]

I rec’d your book today‼️ Thank you for all of the great exercise tips. I’m 72 year y/o retired RN that needs to get back into building strength. The safe exercises you share give me confidence that I won’t cause harm in my attempts to improve my strength and flexibility‼️ I’m grateful‼️

[@HT-Physio]

Thank you so much for supporting my book, it means a lot to me! So pleased to be able to share my work and that it's helped give you peace of mind when exercising! Wishing you all the best :)

[@sherryfyman7066]

Will - your videos are always substantive and useful. The opposite of the ubiquitous clickbait.

[@HT-Physio]

Thank you so much, it's really great to hear my videos have been helpful!

[@ruthchesson9596]

Love your videos! Will be doing these arm exercises once I have recovered from chemo & radiation treatment, which I finish tomorrow! Don't want to overdo anything so will check with my oncologist as to when she advises I can begin. I appreciate your straightforward, easy to follow instructions. Thank you@

[@HT-Physio]

Congratulations on finishing treatment tomorrow, that is a huge accomplishment! I hope my videos can offer some helpful exercise routines to support your recovery (once approved by your oncologist) 😃

[@lyndasoar4345]

These are great exercises... weak arms = always one of my 'things' ... now im finding i need to address the strength loss in n them as i get older. I appreciate this vid very much. Thank you.

[@SusanHaydon-kp1jc]

Did this with you Will. Love it. Hopefully bye bye bingo wings and no help getting screw tops of jars.

[@HT-Physio]

Great work - and you'll never be beaten by a jar again!

[@sawong8685]

So sad, as we age, our face gets wrinkles & our finger tips get smoother - hence no traction when twisting lid, So using a textured gripper to twist gets the lid off.

[@01lsw]

Excellent explanation. Love these 3 simple yet extremely effective arm exercises. Keep up your great work!

[@HT-Physio]

So pleased you liked them!

[@ketokira]

I was waiting for this one :-) . Thank you

[@CCB249]

I have been doing these exercises for years-45 years. I use 20 lbs for the biceps and 15 lbs for the tricep kickback-although I use a bench with a flat back when I do them. I am 69 year old female.

[@wlee3400]

Thank you for sharing. I have cervical spine issues. Can i do these exercises? If not, what kind of exercises can i pick up to make my arms stronger?

[@SuePenn]

Love your channel! Thank you for all you do!

[@HT-Physio]

It's my pleasure!

[@jandkhilbert]

[@HT-Physio]

[@elles2605]

Should the shoulders be down and back during the tricep kickbacks?

[@evakaul1599]

Thank you! Very useful exercise

[@HT-Physio]

Happy to help!

[@glendadanson-brassey5774]

[@nvr4]

Can you do this if you have a problem with your long bicep insertions, shoulder and elbow? Only occasional pain but it keeps niggling. Thank you for these great videos. Valerie (France)

[@SusanD-if7tb]

[@terribrewster3754]

Read your book Will, it was fantastic. The videos are great too. I have learned a lot. Thank you!

[@carpecanem611]

Safety note: always wear heavy shoes when working with any weights.

[@KathyBGood]

oh, great advice, thank you!

[@trishhickson1550]

Definitely a good idea! 👍

[@trishhickson1550]

Thanks. I think I could do these even with a rotator cuff issue using a modification on the first one.

[@patriciagriffin1505]

Yes great exercises

[@HT-Physio]

Thank you!

[@raularriaga8254]

Awesome exercise movement 👌👏🏻

[@francesstager997]

Excellent video! I have been working with resistance bands and would like to add more exercises, so these are a good start. I would like to get adjustable weights like the ones you use in the video. (I am in the US).

[@shahnazsultana3189]

God bless you dear 💕

[@LakshiAbayasekera]

Thank you so much.

[@HT-Physio]

You're very welcome!

[@craigdaly5111]

Thanks for posting Will. I’ve always found the shoulder press a difficult exercise the rest is fine though. Room for improvement 😂

[@evaadams8298]

Thanks for this am ordering the book today… 💪👏👏

[@HT-Physio]

Thank you for purchasing my book, I hope you find it full of valuable content!

[@ericmkahn2366]

You provide a valuable service. Would you consider either a dvd to purchase or longer KZbin episodes with 20 minute safe exercises and routines at beginner and intermediate levels that can be viewed daily for healthy seniors? The movements need to be seen and repeated in order to copy 🎉 Eric M Kahn DDS

[@PamelaScharnberg]

Thank you

[@mandyhaigh6928]

Hi will! ,your videos are amazing! thank you! How often should I do these exercises for arm strengthening?😊

[@KathyBGood]

thanks for another helpful video!

[@HT-Physio]

Very happy to help!

[@sophieamirian6726]

GREATLY APPRECIATED ❤ VERY IMPORTANT AND USEFUL VIDEO ❤ THANKS A WORLD ❤

[@HT-Physio]

[@philipnguyen3107]

Great video. 💯👍🙏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@HT-Physio]

Thank you😃

[@christinalucas246]

Love these excercises ❤

[@HT-Physio]

Glad you like them!

[@andydee4842]

Hi. Thanks for the videos. Finding them useful. However can you please add a warm up and a cool down for this one. Thanks.

[@andydee4842]

The reason for asking is that I feel that my left shoulder and triceps feel like they’re about to pop after I’m finished and I’m not sure if it’s because I’m not warming up correctly. Thanks.

[@wilfredosantiago9289]

Thank you for sharing this. 🙏

[@HT-Physio]

It's my pleasure!

[@CarlosLara-wc4sv]

Can you tell us the brand of dumbbells you have, please?

[@LouiseGraham-wx8tg]

THANK YOU 😊 VERY HELPFUL 🙏

[@HT-Physio]

Very happy to help!

[@wwaxwork]

If I could lift weights that heavy I wouldn't need arm strengthening exercises. Seriously though thanks for these they look great.

[@HT-Physio]

It's taken a lot of years of practice!

[@thegolem797]

I’ve been following your videos for a couple of months now, and this one really meets one of my needs (decades of cycling and hillwalking have left me with strong legs and relatively weak arms). Just one question though; I suffer from the odd muscle or tendon strain around the top of my extensor muscle - should I rest the arm completely (not a favoured solution) or do something else?

[@KathleenClancy-su3su]

You know what you are talking about. For me though, I have severe rotator cuff on my right. I also had a right pronator never release in my elbow, so I have constant burning. I can exercise my left arm no problem, but the right I get severe pain and then I am immobilized. Help for the right?

[@vandanahiranandani4056]

Really I appreciate thankyou

[@HT-Physio]

Happy to help!

[@1titansfan1]

Trying to figure out how to incorporate these three exercises with the recent video of yours that had several strength training exercises.

[@annweitoish8856]

Thank you im a health 72 year old that's loves walking and taking care myself

[@HT-Physio]

Keep up the great work!

[@user-wf5uf4xe3l]

Cool thanks 🙏

[@HT-Physio]

You're welcome!

[@Houdini_Bob]

I like idea of using a bottle of wine: curl, sip, press up, down, sip, extend down - repeat. 🙂

[@SueLyons1]

Do you have upper body/arm exercises that are safe for breast cancer folk? The risk of lymphodoema increases with many types of exercise, I believe

[@user-sk9cf5hr2v]

Can you do a video on running?

[@Sanjaykumar-tg2qr]

Can i do this daily or ulternet day?

[@vandanahiranandani4056]

Please show us shoulder exercises

[@HT-Physio]

I have the following video which may be of interest :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmfJfZ19lLislbs

[@jaikishjayasimhan5907]

What about stretching.

[@nunyabiznuss9869]

At 51 I’ve been told I look great for my age but 😮I gotta say you really cannot tell your in your 50s Will! 🤪

I have to exercise in the morning before my brain figures out what I’m doing.
