[@TheRuthyc]

I'm so glad you are here for we older people. Of all the groups of people that you could have worked with, you chose us to help and I'm grateful to you!

[@HT-Physio]

Thank you so much for your kind comment!

[@emkoh2746]

Ditto 🙌. He’s an awesome instructor 👍👍

[@pradipsinghrathod2783]

Great👍 Dr harlo

[@ariadnefritz]

thank you for these videos, most helpful. I started following your advice about 2 months ago, I am now able to jog for 1500 metres without stopping, prior to this I had not run for years. By the way I am 85 years old and diabetic, thank you again, Michelle

[@HT-Physio]

That is fantastic to hear! Keep up the fantastic work and thank you for letting me know

[@annegallagher8284]

@ariadnefritz. I jogged 1500 meters today, it was fun, even raining. First time I have in ten years. I'm 80 in a few weeks. If you follow the John McDougall diet, your diabetes too will be cured. We both may soon jog 3000 meters. Will Harlow is sure a great guy.

[@vijayakumarp7593]

Thank you for your sincerity and consideration for older people. We love you. All the exercises you show are doable and cent percent effective.. Am 79 years old and follow your videos. Feel very good doing these exercises and routine. I find regularity is the key for their total effectiveness.

[@PVVI2015]

Thanks once again! I’m 74, an avid cyclist, golfer, Nordic skier, kayaker and hiker! And I’ve had both of my hips and my knees replaced due to congenital hip issues. I have been very committed to keeping everything working, and I do appreciate the range of exercises you share. I never thought of using my door stopper for squats! I will now - I have the same one.

[@HT-Physio]

Keep up the great work!

[@bhartipatel3132]

You are doing great service to the older generation, 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Thank you Dr Will. You are so kind

[@darrenpodger7294]

Cancer sufferer , had to stop work and go part time , last two years have been tough , I’m finding stairs a challenge and can’t run even , I’m going to use your video to get back to the fit person I was , thank you so much for your time .

[@HT-Physio]

I'm so sorry to hear about what you went through - I hope my videos can offer some help to rebuild your fitness and health!

[@darrenpodger7294]

I can't run , I tried a treadmill and I can do that by increasing speed gradually I can walk quicker at constant pace which could help strengthen leg muscles , this would also help my lymph fluid In my right leg . Whats your views on this ?

[@sajenmathew]

Cheers doctor… you are saying so focused on the topic…. Really appreciated

[@adiyamaanks3387]

Thanks a lot for demonstrating exercises with explaining so clearly. God bless.

[@HT-Physio]

You're very welcome

[@adamgarrick3778]

I'm not over 50, but I can't recommend those lunges fast enough when you're trying to rebuild the strength in your knees. I really put mine through a lot of abuse a couple of years ago while (over)training for Ironman. That exercise, while seemingly so simple and low impact, was invaluable. For anyone who hasn't tried it, It can be strenuous at first, but it works wonders.

[@eileenbauer4601]

Thanks very much.

[@harrietlovejoy3424]

Hello from North Carolina! Thanks for the intel. I’m 60 and beginning to struggle. Your videos offer such a huge help.😊

[@HT-Physio]

[@carmenumanah9399]

Thank you so much,very interesting

[@keithw8286]

Also, don’t attempt exercise 2 , leg raise, if you have inguinal hernia or groin strain - word, the other ones didn’t hurt, so thanks, I’ll give this a shot. 62, male, clicky knees

[@patriziarossi3442]

I have had terrible knee problems in the last 4 months and then I discovered your presentations . Let me tell you It was so bad I couldn’t even get down on the floor, genuflect, or even try to lift the leg to put on socks.then I saw your presentation on strengthening the glutes.. you gave helped me tremendously and am now able to bend the knee, lift the leg and even go for walks. I feel these 7 will be a great help. Many many thanks Dr Harlow…64,Nonna,🇨🇦
