Best Daily Exercises If You Want to Enjoy Walking (Ages 50+)

[@josephsf2452]

I wish I lived in England, I would be his client in a heartbeat. Will is so personal, I asked him a question, and he took the time to respond to my email. I forward his videos to everyone I know over 50. I'm willing to bet, by next year or maybe before, he will have reached 1 million subscribers. He is simply the best, with no BS. I love this guy ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sandhyanambiar6497]

Yes indeed . Will is genuinely working to help all of us 50+. I just love him

[@cyndybenton5258]

Ditto!

[@debbiec6216]

Same here this young lad had helped me to stand and not be in pain.

[@shirleyheafey6052]

Will talks just enough so I can understand what and why I need to do and what to expect when I do his exercises. Will is the only person on KZbin who does NOT go on and on and on and that is why he is the only fitness person I follow. Great book he has published.

[@HT-Physio]

Thank you so much for your kind words - I think it's important for everyone to understand why I suggest the exercises/tips I do, so that everyone can make informed decisions about their health. I'm glad you've found my book enjoyable too, it was a labour of love, it's great to hear that people have found it helpful!

[@sandramason4672]

Yes, clear, concise explanations and demonstrations, no unnecessary waffle. I have bought his book, and find it very interesting and useful. Would recommend it. I feel you can trust that Will is sincere on his attempt to help us over 50's.

As my goal is to be still walking when I'm 90, I'll be adding all these to my morning exercise routine. Thanks 😊

[@HT-Physio]

Great goal - wishing you all the best :)

[@triarb5790]

I do a series of your recommended stretches every single morning and always before I walk or do other exercises. I feel so well and have gone from having frequent hip pain, tripping over my own feet and having daily knee pain to feeling energised and upbeat. Thank you for doable, common sense stretches and movement that genuinely work ❤🇦🇺🦘

[@HT-Physio]

That is fantastic to hear I'm so pleased my videos have been such a help and that you've noticed such remarkable improvements - I'm pleased you've found my suggestions practicable and beneficial! Keep up the great work :)

[@marionkerby1154]

I am 84 and walk 5k a couple of times per week and 18 holes of golf twice weekly. I will certainly be adding these to my daily routine.

[@HT-Physio]

Keep up the great work!

[@willow2333]

After a long illness I miss walking more than anything. 74 and trying hard to rebuild stamina to keep moving! Thank you

[@HT-Physio]

I'm sorry to hear that you have been suffering with illness, I hope my videos can offer you some support in your rehabilitation!

[@RivkaPotchebutzkyArt]

[@debbiec6216]

I am thankful because you helped me with one leg issue , when I stand up, my right leg, hurts badly. So what you said, to slide the leg back and forth for a while and when I stand up it will not hurt. You was 100% right and I truly thank you for your help and appreciate it. And since you helped me , I am going to give my families and friends throughout The USA , your website , so they can add themselves *Subscribed / View* your channel.

[@HT-Physio]

I’ve recently found my way to your videos and want to thank you for the content. You provide excellent advice and exercises for my arthritic knees. I hope to improve my walking and have improved joints. Your approach yo explaining the what, how, and why is so clear and concise. You are very talented at what you do. Wish you were in my location in the U.S. Your British accent is so smooth to listen to 😂. Thank you for the great content.

[@just-saying]

Follow your exercises. Thanks.

[@HT-Physio]

Wishing you all the best!

[@Ru-1628]

I love the varieties of exercises for different interests that you keep churning out. I was wondering, if you have not already done so, if you could do a few videos with subjects like - recommended pre walking warmups - recommended post walking stretches - recommended pre resistance training warmups - recommended post resistance training stretches - etc. This is to make it easier for your followers who need a quick reference on what to do prior to or after walking or other training. I suggest this bc you have many videos on warm ups, stretches etc . And we have to spend a bit of time searching for the relevant videos every time we want to walk. In my suggested video(s), you don’t have to spend a lot of time explaining the details of each exercise again. You can refer viewers to your previous video on the subject by highlighting them on the top right hand corner. Perhaps you can also add an explanation on how to make best use of the video during the introduction. Just a suggestion. Anyway, thank you for everything that you have done!

[@nassimalam8728]

[@El_Ophelia]

Love your videos. Will you please address helping people with foot drop? Doctors always tell people to walk for their health, walk for their back, walk for their joints, etc., but if you have foot drop, simply walking means the risk of tripping over a pebble or twig and faceplanting. Plus, you have to hike up from the hip because you can't dorsiflex. No one seems to really "get" it or "understand" the intricacies of what's involved in foot drop beyond an academic basis and something they've read in a few paragraphs in a college text book.

Always great tips Will. Keep up your amazing work. Roger

As always, great stuff! … I’m enjoying the first two exercises done at what I’d call a “walking pace” rather than, say, 3 sets of 10-15. A nice change for my daily workouts. Why didn’t I think of that 😊! … Question: Is the toe raise exercise variation shown in this video (i.e. sitting) a better choice than a standing toe raise? Thank you!

Hi Will - this is really helpful thank you couple of quick questions - Are these exercises good for stablising the knee? (I am having pain in the left one these days and, from your previous videos, I get the impression the knee can become less vulnerable with exercise - do these three count? And, silly question -- I guess walking is also good for walking right? What is the advantage of doing these exercises over getting out fo a long walk? Once again, many thanks Iain

[@BOOMNERD51]

I like the seated calf raise, and knowing that that anterior tibialis muscle, when strengthened coul help stabilize the ankle, which I feel has gotten a little sketchy now that I'm in my seventies! 👍

I'll try these exercises as I used to walk 10 miles most days (stopping in the middle for coffee or a movie) and even more when I lived on the Mediterranean. Since I returned to the USA, I have just walked 5-6 miles a day and since no more bargain movies being offered, lost motivation and stamina to do more. Maybe these exercises will get me back up to my old mileage.

I am aware it is purely only a suggestion but would still appreciate some advice of what to start with. Thank you in anticipation.
