[@MoreLifeHealth]

G'day Everyone, I hope you enjoy this NEW warm-up you can do before undertaking longer exercise or physical activity. Let me know what you thought of it, and subscribe to this channel for more exercise videos. I'll see you for many exercise videos to come in February. Keep Moving!! Mike 🙂💃🕺

[@chloeannemarie9191]

I really need these videos. I can't walk without a cane. I need my hip replaced but have to lose 60 lbs before Dr will do surgery. I've been struggling finding ways to exercise without doing more damage to my hip and limited mobility now. I'm excited you have chair exercises to get me started. Thanks!!

[@umanathan7722]

your exercises and instructions are easy to follow--many thanks.

For me, this is the best warm-up from you i have seen. you move us through these exercises without extra verbiage but with great professionalism. i have just turned 80 and have been profiting by your videos about two years now.

Thanks so much for these videos - they've made such a huge difference for my mom. She loves these exercises, and they have helped her regain her strength. She likes to say, "I want to exercise with Mr. Kutcher today" 😂

[@MoreLifeHealth]

Wow, thank you so much for the generous support! I’m so happy to hear that the exercises have made such a difference for your mom - that’s amazing! And I love that she calls it “exercising with Mr. Kutcher.”

This might be my favorite warmup. Thank you.

Hey, thanks for this. I'm not a senior, but I needed a 5-10 min seated warm-up to do before post-injury ankle strengthening PT.

[@staceydroogas928]

Wow, a really well rounded warm-up! I crave variety and an additional warm-up is great. I always get excited when I see new routines of all types in my in-box. This one offered variations on themes peppered with surprising little additions, changes in sequencing, and a rock em sock em finale: pumping up upper body with boxing and the classic lower body marching. Mike, your imagination has never failed us. Thank you much...Anastasia

Great job Anastasia. Glad you liked it !! and you're more than welcome. Keep up the great work! 🙂💪

Hi Mike, Thanks for this seated warmup! Today my right hip ached doing a walking workout, so I switched to you and this seated routine. It was great, and I’m going on to another seated one. I usually stand but today I couldn’t, so thanks for an alternative! 🌼

[@julesgarcia5854]

You are so right Mike! Warms ups are the key to preventing unnecessary straining to the muscles!

I just started as an activities/Life Enrichment Director for an ALF, I've been working there before the position became available and noticed these types of things were lacking...I'm 40yrs old and out of shape...followed all the steps of this video and I'm ready for a nap...super excellent work though, very easy for seniors to do, I'm going to be using these as a guide, you are super appreciated.

Hello from Robin Hood country in England! I love your channel and for some time have been following your seated exercise videos as knee pain made it difficult to do standing routines. Recent surgery led me to you video for pre and post op leg exercises which have been so helpful. Thank you very much.

Mike was thinking on Sunday whilst doing the warm exercise I wonder when you will be doing an update - next day I looked and you had bought out a new warm up ! Just one more thing that beautiful plant on your right looks like it’s going to be touching your head soon !

[@MoreLifeHealth]

haha yes that plant is growing fast Evelyn.. Touching my head and through the roof soon! 🙂

[@dianeramsden6568]

Hey Mike! I’m a 74 year old woman with MS. I work out with you every morning. How about a new seated warm up routine?

[@MoreLifeHealth]

Great suggestion! Thank you Diane. I will make a note. Keep up the great work.

[@ociehand8478]

Enjoy my warm up to nite 💯 ocie thank for your time to nite ocie

[@peterbrayne4651]

Is it a case of doing the warm up routine that you enjoy the most. There are I believe two seated warm up routines. Is one better than the other ?

[@pblinham5741]

Warm up tp-day.

[@colintyler1405]

I am trying the warm exercises as often as possible. Can you tell me what kind of benefits I should look out for if I keep it up? My shoulders for example, are seriously tense and a little painful because of anxiety.

[@itsmeagainmargaret.1899]

Does anyone know where I can get a chair like the one in the video? My grandma loves these videos and her dining room chair fell apart from the strain (it was over 100 years old). She told me she’d like to have a chair like this to keep doing her exercise with. Thanks in advance and thank you for making these videos!

[@MoreLifeHealth]

I got my chair from a department store here in Australia! So maybe you can check out the department stores and see what they have? Good on your Grandma. Tell her I said G'day and to keep up the good work! 🙂

Mike, really like this new Warm Up before I do the 4 Stretches routine. I hope you don't mind me asking, but where can I get shorts and top like yours?

[@MoreLifeHealth]

I think you can find similar in a sports store Brian. The shorts I wear are rugby brand (Canterbury)

[@brianbooth4435]

@@MoreLifeHealth Thanks Mike, I was able to search Ozzy sports stores a few months ago and found them at OnSport, so got a pair. They are fantastic. BTW, the 4 Stretches exercise has really helped with my cycling, (I commented about this on that video) I do them 3 times a day, my calves were really tight and have loosened considerably. Love your channel.

[@cueit1]

As I’ve never exercised for a very long time, ( 77 years old ) and have one or two health issues, like replacement knees, and A.F. Is it best to do stretches, or warm up exercises before I start some kind of program of exercises, I’m over weight and my balance is starting to deteriorate slightly. Regards

Funny thing, If I place my hands on my knees, I am leaning forward. 🤣🤣🤣

Dear Mike My son recently suffered a trapped nerve in his right neck region which has caused extreme agony for the last three months. Now that he is free of the initial pain, he has been left with an extremely weak right hand: he can't throw a dart. Could you please suggest a long-term pathway for him to regain his health? It's as though he has had a small stroke at the age of 57. I'll get him to link with you, as we have done. Patrick and I have followed you for nearly 3 years and could't do without you.

Hey Janet. Sorry to hear about your son. Get your son to send me an email.

[@nadiaboutros7873]

Is it better to repeat the same exercise everyday or different exercises

[@MoreLifeHealth]

Hey Nadia. This is actually quite a complex question. 🙂 It depends on many factors, mainly for what reason you're doing the exercise. For example, if your goal is to just get moving more to get the general benefit of exercise, doing different exercise is fine. It can be better in the way that you're less likely to get bored and therefore more likely to keep it up long term. However, if your goal is to improve strength or balance, as another example, it's better to stay consistent with the strength and balance exercises to get the benefit before changing it up. This does not have to be every day, but say 3x a week will see good results.

[@nadiaboutros7873]

Your exercises are really easy to follow.thanks for your reply

[@johnceleste1694]

@@MoreLifeHealth this was a very valuable question and answer as we have wondered the very same thing,having been following this program for almost a year now . Thanks Mike for your OUTSTANDING work for Seniors who have been locked down most of the time,or confined due to high risk - we can still keep moving,staying strong and improving due to your program !!!

[@potrelviewer9536]

So I'm not a senior person (I'm 28yo), but having not done any sports since more than 10 years, I've significantly lost physical capabilities, mainly on the hips & core. Here's 2 examples of my exercise troubles: _ if normal people are able to squat / sit naturally, I can't even flex my knees with my arms extended without shaking my legs. I must support myself on an upper solid surface to hold my descent to the sitting level, same for getting up; & no, even placing my hands on my knees doesn't make the move easier. I highly suspect I might have a good dose of arthritis in my knees... _ in every video roughly titled "Workout for Overweight / Sedentary People", there's always (or in 95% of those) the famous "glutes / hip bridge"; you lay down on the ground, knees bended at 90 degrees, hands behind your head, & you lift your buttocks a few inches/cm, then come back down & repeat X times. Easy for some, but totally impossible for me. How so? Well, the best I can describe my issue would be this: each time I engage my lower core muscles (the Belt), for some reason my lungs lock themselves, stopping my breath & I can't lift my bottom not even a few inches, but a few Millimeters (less than 5). This major issue is also found in my squat problem, & basically in every "functional" exercise: can't move my legs sideways, wall pushups only a few toes away... Even my physical therapist is having trouble finding the right "educational" exercises to tone down this breathing issue. Lack of cognitive physical development, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis? If even my appointments with him aren't sufficient for this massive problem, he seriously thinks of redirecting me to a PRH, or a "Physical Rehab Facility", geared mainly for seniors & people who recovered from a long hospital stay. With all that said, I wanted to quickly mention that this video is both simple, comprehensive, & easy to follow. Thank you for reading my long explanation.
