72-Year Old Turns Back the Hands of Time in Less Than One Year!

"I didn't feel 72-years old. I still feel like I'm in my 30s...it's almost like if you stick it out you can't fail... you can't!"
We hope Diane's story can inspire others that it's never too late start something new and dramatically change your life! The DDPY Rebuild Program was specifically designed for those with limited mobility and for those who think there's no workout they can do -- workouts start in the bed, and progress to the chair, then standing with the support of a chair. We believe that anything is possible and the senior population needs a consistent exercise program that is accessible to them!
You can purchase the DDPY Rebuild program as a DVD set or get access to all our workouts via our DDP YOGA NOW App, which offers programs for seniors as well as for those who suffer from morbid obesity or have severe or chronic lower back pain.

I'll be 68 in a few weeks. I go to the gym 3 days a week. I try to get 10,000 steps a day and I dance and do aerobics around my house nearly every day. I too feel like I did in my thirties. My dad is 93 and walks 10,000 steps a day. He doesn't walk like an old man. Just keep moving.

God bless you and your dad! My dad is 78 and can run circles around me and I’m only 49 years old. I’ve struggled with health issues most of my life and when I fired my doctors, took my health into my own hands, found Jesus and started reading the Bible and learning our true God given super powers, I’m now healed. 4 incurable diseases are cured. I feel better now than I did in my teens and twenties, praise God!

"JUST KEEP GOING because weeks, months and then a year from now, you will be AMAZED at the difference." Gillian, I learned that consistency is THE KEY! After a few weeks, I was so excited and WANTED to keep going because I could feel my body's strength and balance improving. I did NOT want to stop! I wish the same for you too.

[@janicesmith4862]

Dianne, this is so critical! We don’t want to have to be depending on people to care for our bodies in our older age. To be in a hospital bed in diapers pushing a button & waiting for hours for someone to change you or developing bed sores that can end your life! The misery! Seeing a friend of mine go through it now! I did everything I could to get her to change her life the past two years & now, I don’t believe she will ever be going back to a normal life but totally brought on because she let food & the couch consume her! Inactivity is a KILLER! Get moving now! Do not saddle your children with this burden! Almost never too late! God bless, love & peace!

[@janicesmith4862]

Never accept your limitations! It’s like giving up! Get moving! It will be a new exciting part of your life, a big exciting part! Do not wait one more minute! Start with some chair exercises or bed like Dianne did. Please

[@TrainLikeAProDaily]

That is the trap of older age. We've been conditioned to accept our limitations. But the reality is that age is actually just a number. The muscle responds to conditioning. The more we move, the more our body becomes more agile, flexible and day after day life becomes easier. Never give up!

[@joycej9415]

I am 70 and also have autoimmune flare ups that keep me in bed. With my illness I have to rest when my body needs it and not over do. That will just set me back further. When I feel better I just start back again and take it slow but consistently. It isn't a competition! You can do it. Also one tip that helps me is I got a Garmin watch that tracks energy. If it shows arrow down I rest which helps me as I always was a person to over do and push myself. It also helps to get plenty of sleep. Sleep is key for me to stay active. Good luck

I also have an autoimmune illness. Am 60 soon. Have recently completely changed my diet: only eating REAL food. ( ie. Cutting out all packaged/ processed foods and especially where there are sugar and plant oils added. Olive, coconut and avocado oils and honey and maple syrup are allowed though) Trying to keep to natural foods and it has made a MASSIVE difference! The first change was my sleep! And much less pain. Am now working on the physical training. I still have to rest etc often, but truly feel like a different woman. And its rare these days hubby hears what used to be a constant refrain: I’m so TIRED! :) Do hope you succeed!

[@cymbelinebritain6799]

Such an inspiration. I started exercising at 53 after being sedentary my whole life and weighing in at 205 lbs. Both my mother and grandmother were tiny women, but had to use walkers by the time they were 70. I'd already been diagnosed with degenerative bone disease in my spine after my mother passed in 2014 and I knew that being heavy and sedentary would only exacerbate my issues. I wasn't motivated, however until Nov 2019 while at the doctor's for pre-menopausal issues (oh those are fun!) and I stepped on the scale that I had a complete breakdown and decided right then I was done. I started eating healthy and exercising....a little at a time. I'd purchased a HIIT program and shelved it, convinced I'd never be able to do those moves and so I rode a stationary bike and did a few strength training exercises. I began to shed the weight and get stronger and in 9 months lost almost 90 lbs. I incorporated those HIIT exercises and now do them with ease. My husband was a constant source of support, but he became ill in April 2021 and after being informally diagnosed in early May with liver cancer, then formally after a biopsy on May 11...he passed away on May 19 of 2021. It was a rare and unbelievably aggressive cancer that took him within weeks of his diagnosis. Needless to say my world was shattered. My foundation was shaken to its core. There was no time to even process that he had cancer and he was gone. I was widowed at 55 years old. He was my constant source of support and instead of crawling in a hole and giving up...I continued to do those workouts. I pushed on and kept working out every day. It's what kept me going. Thinking about his constant praise and encouragement...cheering me on. I apologize for the long winded ramble, but my point is that exercise and maintaining my health have truly changed my life. It's kept me positive during those lonely, grief stricken moments when I could have so easily given up. You are such an inspiration Dianne. You show it's never too late and with hard work, consistency and a can-do attitude, you really can accomplish anything. Congratulations and keep up the great work. I can tell you feel as fantastic as you look!

I appreciate stories like this that tell me I am doing the right thing for myself. My wife died from a heart attack about a year ago and my belief is it was largely due to not taking her health issues seriously. In January, I was informed at 60 that I was at risk for many of the usual old fart issues, but the Dr. realized I was motivated to not just fix it with prescriptions if there were better ways. She said to come back in 3 months for another blood test. With exercise and eating better I have gotten most of those risk factors under control, lost 40 pounds and have been told to keep doing whatever I am doing. I am fortunate in that I have a physical activity I enjoy and have done most of my life, cycling. So I cut out all the crap, rode my bicycle more and have been educating myself and making small changes one at a time. The small changes add up. My goal is to grow up to be a badass old man.

Mimi Routh - good for you! Just as an aside... you've got to combine resistance training with yiur calorie deficit weightloss strategy. If you don't, at least 25% of the weight lost will be muscle and lean body tissue (it's not only fat we are losing in a calorie deficit diet.) It's just a fact. Protect your muscles (and I don't mean just for 'looks) - muscle is a living organism, a metabolic organ. Healthy muscle sends metabolic signals to every part of the body. Skeletal muscle is especially important to maintain. As we age. Walking is good, but resistance training is -well...it's just imperative, in order to stay healthy and strong.

Unless you are very heavy; walking up a grade for the full 30m, or very fast...to a jog. Tracking apps and devices are notoriously inaccurate in both the Kcal count in foods, as well as their readout of Kcals burned with activity. This is unfortunate, because so many use these tracking devices & apps, but can ultimately be misled by them. They can be off by as much as a 30% margin of error.

BUT my quality of life is so much better and I don't suffer from many of the chronic aches and pains of aging AND I love it--the music, the creativity, the storytelling.

Ballet improves balance, muscle control and flexibility. My sibling, when he retired, went back to studying ballet. I am also a former dancer, but I was more into jazz. I do Physique 57 (very dance oriented because the trainers are either dancers or retired dancers. Brooke frequently mentions the Horton technique due to her training at Alvin Ailey) and Pilates because they appeal to me more as a dancer.

Thank you Dianne, I’m 40 and after having 8 kids was told my body will probably never bounce back and I should just deal with all the issues and frustrations until they get worse enough for surgery. I’m going to take my life back after watching this. Wish I’d seen your video years ago to help my mom at your age, she’d probably still be with us.

[@diannekusztoswilson3499]

It means so much to know that my experience has helped you to believe you can get going and own your life! You are still so young. When I was your age I'd never thought about the prospect of having surgery when I was older. I'd not stayed in a hospital overnight since my daughter was born 40 years ago. BUT last year at age 72, I had a 5-day hospital stay after parts of my lung were removed due to a fungus. I was fortunate to have a family member stay with me 24/7 those 5 days & nights, but because I'd spent the previous 2-years working on regaining my strength and balance ability, I can't tell you how independent I felt because I could get up from my hospital bed and slowly walk to the bathroom instead of having to use a bed pan. During my home recovery, I again learned "use it, or lose it" because after a period of limited activity it almost felt like I was starting over to regain the strength and balance of my youth once again. But now, I'm bouncing back thanks to a thing called Muscle Memory and working out daily again. So please go for it, and TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE while you're still so young!

Amazing…good for you!! In 2020 I decided to retire when the pandemic started.. I was 72, fairly fit (I was a weight lifter in my younger days… now a constant walker. My job required me to be on my feet all day. ) I think I got into a depression, and I absolutely despised myself for playing a victim. But most of my exercises and self-care fell to the wayside. A few months ago I finally went in for my check up and found out I had osteoporosis. I blamed myself for giving up, too much drinking, too much sugar, and no self-respect. That day changed my life… boom.. done being a victim. I have myself to blame, so I was going to be the one to do the work to fix this. I completely cleaned up my diet and started researching exercises, started walking with intention and building up stamina with a weighted vest, and no longer taking myself for granted. My strength improved daily! Just recently I started Dr Fishman yoga for osteoporosis…. Just incredible how I felt after day one! Now I’m starting DDP yoga to help build my strength. Sarcopenia is a killer of the elderly… and this helps with the muscle wasting. I do balance work and can put on my pants and socks standing on one leg! My wall sits went from 15 seconds …slowly building now to 90 seconds. I stand taller, walk more purposefully and feel better after making myself a priority. Women need to stop saying “ I put everyone else first”…. No one wants to hear that and no one cares! No one wants to take care of you if you just let yourself go…. I realized I was making MYSELF a burden. I was thrilled watching this video and the stumbling start … oh my! I felt such anger! How did I let myself get like this? I had to watch videos on how to get up from the floor! Now, after a few months, I’m able to stand up without assistance. Nothing feels as good as self respect. At almost 76 I’m in the best shape I’ve been in years…and this is after only a few months! I love that this does not require a gym as there is none near me and would be another excuse. The only issue was the start…Life changed!

Hi 👋 how are you doing?

[@RonDoh202]

Thank you for sharing your journey of rejuvenation. At 73, my enthusiasm and appetite for exercise, swim, gym, and Pilates has waned, and over the last three months I have stacked on about 6 kilos (13 lbs) around the gut. Today starts a 10 day work break and your video is a message to just "do the work" and get back on track. Well done and thank you for sharing.

[@diannekusztoswilson3499]

And, thank you for sharing your goals! "Inking" your goals, action, accountability, and consistency are a huge help.

[@nancyvalentine7180]

Thank you! You inspire e. I am 72. I started in March and stopped. Had to move after 20 years it was massive. Still not unpacked yet. I stopped. Now I am looking to return and go all the way! Thank you!

[@diannekusztoswilson3499]

Hello Nancy, Thank you for your comment which helps me to hold myself accountable. My husband and I started downsizing this year in anticipation of moving too, and it is overwhelming both physically and emotionally. But this program's giving me the strength and energy I need. Hope you return soon.

I am 76 and began yoga at 21 years old. I had a knee injury in 2015 that changed my perfect balance and ability to walk up and down stairs. I waited and waited for my knee to naturally get back to normal. It never did. My good knee was taking on added stress to walk up and down stairs. I had to do what this lady did-- daily exercise and total focus on physical health to reclaim my fitness. You can be more fit at 80 than 70 if you get moving. Your body is forgiving and welcomes you back to better times.

[@diannewilson4899]

OMG! Thank you so much for sharing your story, which confirms you RECLAIMED YOUR FITNESS after your injury by CONSISTENTLY exercising DAILY!!! I had lung surgery in Nov, and will work on making a comeback. I've copied your comment so I can add it to my journal!

[@Cientxa]

@@diannewilson4899 Best of luck to you! There is nothing like the confidence your body gives you when it is functioning well again.

Turned 75 in August.... had the same trouble getting up from chairs.... decided to do what I call "Assisted Squats" .... I grab the kitchen sink (for balance) and do a set of squats. I do the exercise UNTIL I feel some pain, then quit. I started off doing about five or so. I am now up to twenty. Standing is no longer an issue. I'm now doing push ups with the same principle: I'm starting with knee push ups, gradually moving to full push ups. She's doing it right!!

[@diannewilson4899]

Congrats on creating your own program to regain your mobility!

[@Jaquableu]

62 here and you are an inspiration. I am starting tomorrow. I can do it!

[@SummerALopez]

I am 65, have 3 of my 5 3rd gen adopted kids at home still. I loved seeing this! We swim, walk, got to the park and playground. I recently had issues with SI, I am exercising and refusing to let it be my head ache.; this was encouraging because surely we all have to fight it and not give in to it!!! I don't have stairs in my house but I do at the playground, I go up and down while the kids are swinging!!!

[@KenSmith-bv4si]

Awesome job, its good to see older people taking better care of themselves. I'm 66yrs old started yoga 7yrs ago, since then I've went to two different teacher trainings which were a blast, I had taught at a few studios but now, I love to practice it's the bestest thing I ever did for myself.

[@diannewilson4899]

Congratulations and thank you for sharing your motivating comment!

[@jamesmiller6637]

Loved it, congratulations, I will be 74 on Jan 5th and have worked out (serious resistance training) 5-6 days a week since 1969, I added 30 mins of basic yoga about 10 years ago. I made shitloads of bad decisions in my life, however, staying fit makes up for them all. I am not "age-related invisible" in any way. I get kudos from the young when I tell them how old I am and can still flirt and have a positive response.

[@diannewilson4899]

Hey, James! You Sir have a awesome testimony. Thank you for sharing! I hope some of the 'youngsters' see your comment.

I just turned 74 on Dec. 12...and like you have been on a modest workout program since college..(my weight is the same as in high school)..but experiencing sarcopenia now...the pump I use to get from curls lasts about 15 minutes lol...the question I have for you any dietary changes any HRT? Do you still have "morning wood" or "mourning wood"...lol

[@jamesmiller6637]

@@bogee4u No HRT, as tempted to a shortcut as I was I just feel it is not truly safe. Morning and nightly wood are daily occurrences, I am blessed both with"lead in the pencil" and someone attractive to write to. My diet has long been excellent, high protein. low carbs and zero processed or junk food, however, in the last few years, I have followed a daily 18-hour fasting regime. The other notable thing which I believe has been very positive is a daily creatine dose.

[@LoveMusic-pd5iz]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'll be 73 in 10 days. On my 72 birthday I told myself, "accept your limitations". My answer to myself was, "why?" It's taken me a year to get up out of a chair with my arms crossed across my chest. Now I'm walking 2 miles and want to increase. I've started working with 2 pound weights. Next, a step counter. I believe the key is to stay hopeful and never stop.

[@diannekusztoswilson2653]

You're making such great progress! Remember: We're never too old to chase our dreams.

The best part about this is knowing how much more fun and time she'll have with kids/grandkids now being more active. Just being able to go out on walks with them is a wonderful thing :)

[@diannewilson4899]

Thank you! My grandson's in college now, but I look forward to enjoying time with my great grandchildren because of my restored strength and mobility!

[@GoodThingsEtc]

You made me cry because I can so relate! Sadly I told my doctor I was not motivated to change. When I got home I thought about his response and I understood it was because every time I lost 5 pounds, I gained it back plus numerous autoimmune related issues! Thank you for being brave for sharing your story and for giving me a reason again to care about myself! Gratitude always!

[@diannewilson4899]

Thank you! If I can do this, you can too!

She's the same age as my Dad! Their generation is built different! I assume it's because alot of them were active and exercised when they were younger! She inspiring! The definition in her arms are amazing!

[@diannewilson4899]

Oh, Vee... You made me smile! Yes, many in my generation were more fortunate to enjoy their youth spent outdoors without the distractions of today's techie gadgets. But after most of our adult lives may have bee spent working sedentary jobs inside buildings, it may take us a while to wake up and realize that IF we want to enjoy the rest of our lives, we may need to reactivate the muscles we ‘had’ in our youth.

Love your video. Very inspirational. I’m 67 and get 10,000 steps in every day. I still do cardio, light weights, and yoga. Right now I have plantar fasciitis and has slowed me down. Everyone in the comments are absolutely right if you don’t get up and move your joints will stiffen and it’s so hard to get around. Also very important tip. There are exercises on you tube on how to practice getting up off the floor. These are important in case one falls. Best of luck to all and thankyou for sharing your story❤

[@diannekusztoswilson3499]

Thank you Tamara! So happy to hear you know the importance of consistent exercise but hope you can get some relief from the fasciitis soon. And, yes, I am aware of your tip, do an exercise for it every day, and even made several videos hoping to hopefully help others. BTW: The company that created the exercise program I'm doing, put together and posted this video of me. If you'd like to see more of what I did to turn my life around, you can visit my KZbin Channel by doing a search using my full name. Hope you have a great year!

[@lauratherrien9877]

My mother had the same thing after her heart attack. She needed a lifter upper chair and we had to instal special devices for her toilets to help her off. Today she is doing Aquafit and she is able to pick something up off the ground and wants me to help her get a "normal" chair in her living room. She is very proud of what she has accomplished. Thank you for sending this very important message to the world. If you are ready try to get up off the floor without arms or hands. We should all be learning how to get back up from a fall. Warmth from Toronto.

[@diannekusztoswilson3499]

Thank you for sharing the awesome news of your mother's progress! And, you've given me an idea for my next video, especially since I'm sort of starting over due to my inactivity after lung surgery this past November. BTW: I have relatives in Toronto and loved our visits there.
