5 Exercises for Longevity - don't wait until you're "too old"

[@deedavis9511]

And I’m an 88-year-old woman who is having a lot of fun doing these exercises. Movement is the most important activity one must do to be comfortable and able in our "golden years."

[@gmbfit]

Right on, Dee!

[@michaeljudson9617]

God bless you Miss I don't know who is inspiring me more to do this exercise miss you or him my answer is the Blessed 88 yr old woman. Thank you for the Powerful inspiration Misd andGod bless you your entire family and the future family members that God plans to bring in this world Miss. PEACE.

[@resaboutb.9566]

I laud you, deedavis - I just typed about how it may be too late for me, but now wondering, after reading your comment, if there might be hope if I start now. Thank you!!

[@wildswan221]

So great!!! It would be awesome if you posted some videos! I wish there had been digital cameras back when my mom was doing her rehab in her 80s!

[@daveoatway6126]

I'm 77 and in pretty good shape. I like these movements as they focus on functional fitness. I will incorporate them with my 5 to 10 mile walks and gym time.

[@7241cooper]

62 and administrator of a social model adult care residence. You are awesome. Because of you I can look forward to another season of sup surfing in Long Beach NY … you have fans here on strong island

[@gmbfit]

You just made my day. Keep kicking butt. :)

[@ThomasMcConaghie]

This is great. I'm only 33 but thinking long-long-term, I want to be able to play with my grandkids (if I'm fortunate enough to have any) and it not wreck me. Introducing these kinds of mobility practices are going to be helpful. Thanks for making this.

[@someblokecalleddave1]

Do it mate - do it for yourself. I'm 62 and I still play active and aggressive sports I love the fact that I can still run and dive around with far more agility and conviction than most people 20 - 30 years younger than me.

[@ryanhurst3068]

This is great to hear that you're thinking about the long run, Thomas. 👊🏻😎👍

[@sublyme2157]

As a 46 year old guy I can tell you that there is a ton of value in simple, functional mobility exercises like these. Coupled with strength training it really helps to bulletproof the body as best as possible.

[@bobwojcik6196]

You’re turning 50 and I’ve just turned 71. You guys ROCK!!

[@theladyfortress]

Happy birthday to you

[@ryanhurst3068]

Happy birthday!

[@mritzs5142]

Me too happy 70s!

[@robertbuchanan189]

Just-Thank y'all. I'm 71 stiff as a board but improving. Very necessary movements not thought about when I had fewer decades under my belt. Thanks again.

[@gmbfit]

Most of us don't start early enough, that's for sure

[@marykinsella417]

@@gmbfit Thanks Soo much

[@KombuchaLiz]

A true diamond 💎 you gave us all the exercises upfront then get into each one. Thank you 😊

[@ianbarnes6682]

Happy 50th Ryan! I'm approaching my 60th. I've been doing GMB off and on for nearly two years now. Still struggling with lower back pain, hip flexibility and upper body strength, but already doing far better than I was before. Just completed an 11-day hike on the Corfu Trail with no back or hip issues, partly thanks to doing your 5-minute warm-up each morning. Surprised myself by being able to do all these moves (yay!), although my Twisting Get-Up could be a lot smoother. 😬 Another fun routine to add to the mix, thanks!

[@gmbfit]

Glad to hear that the practice is helping :) 11 days is no joke!

Happy birthday Ryan C. Hurst 🎂🎉🍾 You guys have been giving some great free content lately, I'm so glad that I've discovered your channel then your programs, big game changer in my fitness journey, thank you! P. S. Favorite exercise of this routine : crab toe-taps

[@ryanhurst3068]

Thank you! I love crab toe taps as well. 😎👍

[@arbousiersles7381]

Happy Birthday!!! These exercices give energy and a lot of fun. Many thanks for sharing...

Wish you a very happy birthday Ryan!

[@ryanhurst3068]

Thank you!

[@mkogrady6078]

Good set of basic exercises. Will start dojng them

[@Backwoodsmom]

Thank you for these! I need to be better at making time for these functional movements. So much fitness so little time 😅

[@ryanhurst3068]

I hear ya! Lots out there. :)

[@donotneed2250]

In 2005 a doctor told me that unloading a 53 feet trailer was not good exercise yet he could not explain why I was hot, tired and thirsty afterwards. There's a grocery warehouse I used to deliver to 20 minutes from his office and I invited him to come help me the next time I was there so he could see for himself. He declined. I guess using a manual pallet jack and breaking down some pallets was too much exercise for him? A load of soap/detergent weighs about 42,000 pounds but it is shrink wrapped and palletized. If the pallets are too high then you have to move the high layers onto another pallet. Grocery warehouses are driver unload or you can hire one of their people to do it for you. Depending on the warehouse it run $40 and up. Something like a load of Tide since it's mostly a straight pull off I'd do myself and send in a receipt for $80 for 1.5-2 hours of labor. Now, a load of Colgate can take 6-8 hours because of the mixed bag of items and you can't have more than one line item on a pallet. If there's an item that was not ordered it will be refused and then you will have to get in touch with your company for disposal. One time I ended up with 6 cases of 1/2 gallon cans of pineapple. The freinds I made that week at a few shippers!

[@gmbfit]

Manual work is no picnic.

[@ej-fo8pd]

This feels like many exercises. Many…thanks for the plan.

I love this, even tho It is simple its so important for my 50+ bones!!! thank you!

[@gmbfit]

Right on - simplicity makes it much easier to actually use :)

[@johnkreuser4834]

I love the way you say the pick it up put it down move so original but an awesome move. Got my son doing Elements with me. Happy Birthday Ryan!

[@hardrockminer-50]

Crab toe tap nearly impossible for me. Shoulders won't let me do it. I can sorta do it sitting on my butt. Maybe that's the place to start.

[@gmbfit]

Yep, when you find something "impossible," you have to remember that's not necessarily permanent :) These exercises can help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZicZputZraAo7s

EXERCISE IS NO 1 FOR ME AND NO 2 MY WIFE NO 3 MY FAMILY. EXERCISE IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR HUMAN BODY. 🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺

[@sublyme2157]

Just did one minute of each, it was a great warmup. I was surprised by the initial difficulty of the crab toe-taps, what a great exercise!

[@gmbfit]

They can catch you off-guard ;)

[@Franklin-pc3xd]

I like the twisting get-up because it's the most difficult for me to complete the start-end with my legs so completely crossed like you... so I'm motivated to get there.

[@Loanme5]

Poifect!

[@acquirearabicbylistening]

Amazing, thank you very much.

[@noonster55]

🤩 I like these. I am getting up there in age. 67 going on 97. I have really let myself go the last 20 years. Great video. I think this will help me. I need something simple and effective so I don’t get board or feel like it is too much work. I think these should work for me.

[@gmbfit]

We just had another client in their 90s sign up yesterday, so you're in good company ;) Just take it gradually and be as consistent as you can. You're not too late to make progress.

[@giovanni_guitar]

Really good choice of movements and great rationale!

[@ryanhurst3068]

Thanks!

[@themtoniraniremaxbroker2447]

Ryan, wishing you a very happy fiftieth birthday along with many more future birthday. I hope you have an absolutely wonderful day with those whom you love. Thank you for this inspiring video; I am couple of years behind you, and the speed skaters and crab toe touches I like the most, and which I am going to incorporate into my daily routine. Again, have a great day, and enjoy the entirety of the year.

[@ryanhurst3068]

Thank you!

Thanks!

[@ukidding]

i like the ski jumps as its an off the ground exercise..

[@sameergauria]

Happy B'day Ryan. Great stuff. I like to do the pick up / put down move in a clock shape. i.e. place at 12 o'clock pick it up, repeat at all the other hours. I am curious to try it out from the different standing positions.

[@gmbfit]

That's an excellent idea :)

[@xabelesor5392]

Wonderful exercises. Thank you.

[@arnoldpillay9834]

Will work on all 5 exercises... Thank you

[@joshcooperyoga]

Happy Birthday Ryan! Great video and I loved the piece you put out interacting with Ryan from the future. These moves are great!

[@differentstones]

Thanks very much for these! I’m 57 (with lumbar foraminal stenosis / radiculopathy) and recently added the animal movements (bear, monkey, frogger, crab) from another of your videos to my daily routine and they’re making a difference! 🙏🏽

[@gmbfit]

Right on! Really happy to hear this!

[@msocr3215]

These are really great exercises. The twist to get up off the floor from cross legged position using one hand an as anchor is so useful at age 67.

[@gmbfit]

And really at any age! Glad you're digging it :)

[@blumingwellness]

It's so easy to get into an exercise rut. I do weights, cardio and tai chi. This is a great addition I'm sure will serve me well going forward. Thanks!

[@jamescampbell2521]

Some of the best balance/strength movements i have found.Thanks so much for posting.The old adage," We don't stop moving because we grow old, we grow old because we stop moving ", is so true.

[@gmbfit]

Yep, that's exactly how it usually goes.

[@wilfredv1930]

Great channel, great information, keep up!

[@hansgjerstad8895]

But before that you'll learn that life sucks.

This is awesome can’t wait to try it out. I am 72 and work out 2 hours per day!

[@sridharthumiki7755]

Yes sir nice to see your all of these things which I have done in my teens.I mean it is nearly a decade and I will love to try it slowly. Thanks❤ for your🙏 humble advice.

Take it slow and just keep doing what you can and what you find works :)

[@martinlutherking8169]

[@michaeltootikian4402]

I just turned 67 I need this Thank you

[@resaboutb.9566]

65yo, 5'11, 310 pounds. It may be too late for me, because the knees are so achy: when it comes to simply standing up from a chair, I procrastinate, therefore sitting too long, and exacerbating all the wrong stuff. My golden years are gold-plated! Do you have any videos about how to help moving with bad knees?

[@gmbfit]

Yep. lots of stuff on our channel that can help.

[@carlosevaristocardona7703]

I THING SWIMMING TAKES CARE ALL OF THOSE EXERCISES. AM I RIGHT? OR WRONG.

[@giuliascherzoso7758]

OK guys I love your stuff...goal is to empty out nursing homes because people are just way too healthy and happy ..long satisfying life...hallelujah bring it on!!

[@gmbfit]

Right on :) Life is too short to spend the last ¼ of it wasting away.

[@MartinA-kp8xg]

Well I'm 63 and I'm not ready for for this yet lol. Heavy weights high reps in the gym and cycling up hills. Plenty sex. Don't try it if you have been sedentary for years though. I have not stopped from youth.

[@gmbfit]

hahahahahahahaha ok

[@jsmith5298]

I will be turning 60 next month, and definitely could use these movements. But I am blind, and have difficulty understanding the movements you are doing. if you could be a bit more descriptive, that would be great.😅

[@gmbfit]

These movements are pretty complex. It would be even better to learn from trainer in person who can tel you for sure whether or not you're doing it right.

[@stephenjohnmcgeoch]

Happy birthday!

[@mariegoocher4338]

Hi Stephen, I noticed that your last name is similar to my maiden name "McGough" (pronounced ma-gow). How do you pronounce your name?

[@ryanhurst3068]

Thank you!

[@radicalcartoons2766]

I could only do one of these because I am disabled in both arms and can't take my body weight, or much weight at all, on either shoulder. I have hardly ever seen exercise gurus on KZbin demonstrate exercises that people with upper body disabilities can actually do.

[@gmbfit]

There's some great coaches doing exactly this. I'm not personally qualified, so I suggest looking into "adaptive" fitness or searching our exercises specific to your condition. That will drastically increase your chances of finding something appropriate for you. Good luck.

[@skinfiddler]

Not NEAR enough trouble!

[@Sali_B]

Yes most definitely. U need to find the purpose of life .

[@Daisy-fw6cr]

I'm not worried at least I got to get old there kids get the death penalty

[@ewallt]

These were all a piece of cake for me except the support yourself on one arm and touch the other toe, which was quite difficult. Interestingly it’s easier with me left arm (non-dominant), which I suspect is due to some shoulder issues. I’m 63. Thanks for this vid.

[@gmbfit]

Right on. And most of them *should* definitely be easy. Brushing your teeth is easy, but it's still important daily maintenance. And when you find one that's more of a challenge, that just shows something to spend a bit more time on :)

[@ewallt]

@@gmbfit Thanks for the prompt reply. I’ve been doing burpees, so am pretty strong from all the push-up’s and squats. I do deep squats, so the getting things from behind was easy. I’m glad to have these exercises to add, and look forward to any similar videos you might have or suggestions. I mostly ski and hike for exercise. I plan to modify the push-ups in the burpees as per your video as it looks helpful for the shoulders. Thanks again.

[@ddaattrroonn]

It appears you have discontinued your recommendation of the Hokey Pokey?

[@gmbfit]

You can still do it. Then turn yourself around.

[@zeebest1004]

[@Bmarker299]

You are clearly an expert but I get frustrated because it is impossible to follow if one is a beginner or out of shape - which may be most of the people who would want to learn from you. So, if you can, tips of how to start and improve for those who are totally out of shape . In the meantime, I’ll subscribe

[@gmbfit]

This isn't a follow-along workout. It's a tutorial. Watch the movements, then go practice them. If there's more info you want that's not in this single, short video, consider watching the hundreds of other videos or reading the millions of words on our website that fill in the rest ;)
