I've resolve 4 different physical injuries/issues from your videos that doctors/therapists could not resolve. Tired of that merry-go-round. I come here first now. Thank you for the healing instructions. 🙏

[@BobandBrad]

Thanks for watching, take care!

I appreciate Mike`s kind attitude towards people who are weaker. His words are encouraging especially because he is so young.

[@DNAConsultingDetectives]

100%! I started doing the reverse lunges about 4 months ago. Slowly built up to 20 a day. It's been life changing. I've been doing squats for years, while I brush my teeth every evening. Then I added counter-top push ups four months ago as well. Very slow progress, but I'm doing it consistently. I am 67, and have several neurological conditions and I'm not willing to accept that these things mean I can't do everyday activities. I'm fighting. Thanks for giving great guidance!

[@BobandBrad]

Awesome to hear, good job!!

[@joylederman4501]

I like the new title sequence. It's about time for Mike to be acknowledged in the opening. 😘

[@BobandBrad]

Yay!! Great to hear you like it!!

[@budoneof15]

[@rexx273]

[@charlesjohnson5530]

Squats, lunges, bird dog, push ups, the “appropriate” bridge😂 QOD three times a week. Loved this.

[@BobandBrad]

Glad you liked it! Thank you for watching!

[@kwikstep-1]

While they are good exercises for your physical health, to me there is a missing important part of exercising, that is enjoying life while exercising. Most people will not believe me, but my exercise put emphasis on mental stimulation, engaging in social interaction & enjoying life while exercising. I am 86 yrs old male, I reach this old age by just dancing to a variety of dancing styles for 40 yrs,. Since I retired at age 65, I have been dancing & still dancing & attending dance parties , like Ballroom, Swing Dances, Salsa & Bachata, Argentine Tango, Hustle Etc, 4 to 5 times a week, for at least 2 hrs. Attending dance parties some last until 2::00AM, enabled to reach this old age & enjoying life as a priority.

[@BobandBrad]

That sounds awesome!! We agree, this sounds like it would be most enjoyable along with the workout benefits!! Keep it up. Love it!

[@vivaldi1948]

Always good to revisit good basic exercises

[@BobandBrad]

Always!

[@adrianleach1670]

I'm 68; always include those exercises in my gym workout routine. Great for strength but also for my lower back problem. The other exercise that's really helped with that is the Romanian deadlift. p.s. your c2 Pro massage gun is excellent 👍

[@BobandBrad]

Great to hear!! Keep up the great work. Glad you like the gun :)

[@kawikadee9670]

Thank you Bob, Brad, and Mike I'm 54 years old and still working out but not like a young buck like we all did once upon a time. God bless you all. 🙂☝🏽

The benefits of exercise for senior citizens, of whom I am now one: Longevity and quality of life. I exercise in various ways roughly six days weekly. Benefits: Sleep better, rejuvenation as opposed to fitful rolling around. More energy to do things. This week I was in a city and was misdirected by software as to directions. No problem, a half mile walk with a small load. (Before exercising I would likely have returned to the car and maybe said to heck with the whole enterprise and gone back home.) Mood: Positive, not the "mean old man" or the guy who runs the world "as it should be" from his computer and lectures at length about how right he is about everything, all the time. No. Have a sense of humor. Realize frequently that nothing is a good thing to say and do in some circumstances. Bottom line: Exercise helps immeasurably with quality of life, not just longevity. I can think of people I've know who went down wrong paths of sitting around watching endless television, unable to move without pain, eating way too much and utterly miserable to be around. Don't do that. Be positive, be kind, enjoy life. Exercise.

[@BobandBrad]

Yes!! Thank you for watching 😊

[@johnboggan4390]

Good video and thank you much 😊

Thanks for helping this world 🌎 please make video on how to bring body on left leg 🦵 🙏

[@michelel3372]

Thank you for always sharing great exercises and also explaining what each exercise targets and why it's helpful. I find it more encouraging when I understand what an exercise is meant to do for me, rather than if you guys just said "you old people should do this!" 😂 I love the humor you add too! Thank you!! ❤

[@BobandBrad]

Glad you like them! Thank you for your continued support! We couldn't do it without all our loyal followers!

Heels to be close to bottom + pull bottom muscle bef raising, keep them pulled until bottom touches down again or strain on back

I do 45 unassisted body squats every morning, walk alot during the day and do Yoga (not every day). I’m 69. The exercises in your video are great ones. I think I will add a couple of them to my exercise routine. Cheers.

[@BobandBrad]

Wow, good for you!! Keep it up

[@MaryKerfont]

.ove all your videos. Thankyou so much.

[@BobandBrad]

Glad you like them!

I've been told to have my arms at my sides for wall push-ups so not hard on the shoulders. My osteo arthritis doesn’t let me lunge more than once. I just feel like giving up.

[@tunahelpa5433]

Wow! This one is GREAT !

[@BobandBrad]

Thank you!

[@shdwbnndbyyt]

One thing to make sure of... use a strongly built wall... Cinder block or brick... some drywall walls (and even plaster & lathe ones) you can damage, especially if you are heavier.

[@BobandBrad]

Thanks for the tip!

[@skippy6462]

Please do exercises required to avoid meniscus tears. Or anyone post a link to a video if there's one. Thanks 😊

[@BobandBrad]

I will add this to our to do list!

[@wmp3346]

Chair squats, lunges, bird dogs, pushups, glute bridge

[@BobandBrad]

Thanks!!

[@janedmunds4218]

Hey Bob! 👋

Hi!!

[@irishfortoday]

Thank you Bob for wearing the striped pants, they really show your leg positions and what angles you are at! I can see the alignment of your body better.

[@johndonato6844]

Great exercises! Got printouts that I can...print out?

[@JS-xs5hq]

Could you please recommend a quality folding message table for purchase. Thank you for all of your videos which are much appreciated.

Bird dog: McGill Back Mechanic book said to extend heel, i think

[@woollyprimate]

Would that mean flex the foot, or point the foot?

[@BobandBrad]

Thanks for pointing that out!

[@kiter9271]

when alternating you can have more even effect by going 2R2L6R6L2R2L rather than 10R10L

If you had total knee replacement surgery on both knees, are these okay to do?

[@zuzuspetals8323]

Thank you for this! Snazzy socks, Brad! 😉

[@BobandBrad]

[@anilktv]

Can you think of video of chair workouts

[@BobandBrad]

We have done several chair workouts! Here is a link to all of them: www.youtube.com/@BobandBrad/search?query=chair%20workouts

[@bradthorson1782]

I stopped doing lunges because the big toe on the back foot starts to hurt from being in a flex position. What's the fix for that? I do wear shoes when I lunge and that helps a little but the pain from toe flexion is still noticeable.

[@BobandBrad]

Have you ever broken or sprained your toe? Sometimes that pain is from an old injury that didn’t heap correctly

[@diamonddx95]

When doing bridges, should your palms be up or down?

[@touchstar68]

Sad that people let themselves go through the decades, if you haven’t, I find the burpee is the best bang for your buck exercise, at least a couple of times every week I try to knock out between 60-100 in a session. Follow with dumbbell squat thrusters.

[@BobandBrad]

Thank you for watching

[@KJSvitko]

Most elderly people have problems getting up off the floor. As a child you spend a lot of time on the floor, adults do not. Doing yoga / stretching exercises on the floor can improve balance, mobility, flexibility and the ability to get up and down.. Just getting up and down to the floor in a controlled manner is difficult for many older adults. Play with your children on the floor. Bend over, get down and pull weeds in your garden. Play with a pet on the floor. The more effort you make to work on balance and flexibility will pay dividends as you age.

[@donnagarner6007]

As you were talking about getting up from the lunge position is easier than others, I realized I've been doing that lately. In the kitchen, digging in lower cabinets bending is not good! Also cleaning out my two litter boxes is done on the floor. Anyway because of that the lunges were much easier than I remember!😊❤😊 I've thought Bob & Brad are a great help, and now we have Mike as well! Thank you all so much!

[@BobandBrad]

Daily exercise is key to as healthy life. Ride a bicycle to school, work or for fun. Riding a bicycle is a great way to exercise. Ebikes are bringing many older adults back to cycling. Cities need to do more to encourage people to ride bicycles. Safe protected bike lanes and trails are needed so adults and children can ride safely. Speak up for bicycles in your community. Bicycles make life and cities better. Ask your local transportation planner and elected officials to support more protected bike lanes and trails. Children should be riding a bicycle to school and not be driven in a minivan. Be healthier and happier. Ride a bicycle regularly. Make a bicycle your transportation option for short distance travel.

[@BobandBrad]

Yes!! 🙌 Stay active!!
