[@barlow2976]

Love your channel and its presentation style- I've subbed. I am something of an evangelical, urging friends to try and slow down their ageing, and these are really useful exercises-for anyone. I did drink and drugs for forty years, I never thought I'd see myself in a gym, for sure. Although I do the machines and a few dumbells at the gym I like how you promote body - only solutions, it's great to get in touch with your body (and all its defects!), and make your movements count. I started getting myself sorted out after an arthritic foot collapsed, and all my joints were ropey. Only a year of daily exercise, a couple of hours say, and my joints are stronger, and make fewer noises. My surgeon was astounded at how much new bone growth I've laid down over my foot joints, and now doesn't need to pin them all together. At sixty I eat and ecercise well, and my body has sorted itself out, liver included. Hats off to you Kristie, from Welsh Wales.

Hi Doc... so on chair sit/rise see "alexander technique" method on this. It shows by practice, posture correction that once established makes rising from a chair natural and easy with no arm support at all. Might not be on topic but important when seeking posture correction which is part of the aging cluster you mention, thanks nioce!

I am a new subscriber, so have only seen this vid of yours so far, so I don't know your story. I've worked as a trainer and in several healing modalities, as well as conventional medicine, and I noticed that your frame is twisted a bit. I don't know your personal journey, but did want to bring up Bowen Therapy. Its an amazing, and a very gentle, modality. Peace and health to you!

I’m 71, female, and had hernia mesh repair in 2020. Can you please have video on lower body exercises that would strengthen the abdominal muscles or should I say excerses for those with hernia mesh repair. I go to the gym 3 days a week doing upper body excerses with dumbbells,squat, lunges, deadlift and now I feel some kind of pain in my groin area where the hernia repaired. I might not 4:12 be doing my exercises right. Thank you Dr. Kristi

Do you know if everything is ok with the repair? Always good to have things checked out before starting ab exercises.

AARP started sending me mail when I was in my 40s. I thought that was a drag. You look like you're still in your 20s, so I'm surprised they're sending you stuff so early. They must have your demographics mixed up with another Kristie Ennis. Anyway, thanks for the video. I've been trying to piece together a routine of mixed exercises to start performing. Aging stinks. Well, aging is fine, but all the physical stuff that comes along with aging is what stinks. As the saying goes: If I'd known I'd live this long, I'd have taken better care of my body.

NOT APPROPRIATE FOR MENISCUS TEARS OR DEAD FOOT

[@drkristieennis]

That very much depends on the type and degree of tear.

[@debramackillop950]

use of term senior is not positive aging language and is ageist. Take the free training with Changing the Narrative, and learn not to use ageist language like senior or elderly. Studies show they cause a negative view and reaction about older people. Best language is older adult or older people.

[@ksmith2852]

Why are their different exercises "for seniors". Isn't that a form of ageism? A form of discrimination?

[@radboston]

I am 65 and can keep up with 20-somethings physically. I have seen strong active 80-somethings at my senior center gym where I volunteer and many of all ages do nothing physically. Not offended by 'for seniors', but these basic movements would help the young and inactive as well.

[@RubyJane6904]

Uh… No it’s not!!

[@misspiggy3606]

Because seniors have aged more, lose more muscle and bone density as they get older. Plus they, have more falls and issues with balance and these exercises are targeted at them. It’s a fact of life.
