I'm 69, I've worked on my lower back issues with another of your videos, and saw good results. As I'm getting older, not very physically active and overweight, having aches and pains in my whole body. thought I'd try this video! It definitely helped so I will try to do them a few times a week as well as other sitting workouts. Thanks Mike!

[@catharinejones284]

These exercises are great. Thank you! My whole body feels better and especially my knees! And I can lift myself up to stand! WOW!

[@rocattatait7418]

This is great, Mike. After years of sitting in front of a computer studying, I found I hurt myself when I tried to do the exercises I used to do. Thanks to you, I can strengthen those muscles without injuring them.

[@OpenDoorYogaSLC]

It really is an incredible sequence of exercises!

[@nicholassherwood3121]

After a sedentary day, and with limited space, this sequence was just ideal. In fact I feel more exercised, in a balanced way, than after my hour- long walks. I feel better in myself, too! Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike, I teach seated workouts to over 60's clients (some with very limited mobility) in Albany Western Australia on a weekly basis. My participants are giving me such positive feedback about the benefits. They are very keen to continue working out at home too, so I have asked the facilities where I work to pass on your youtube channel to them - I recommended you as I can feel confident that what you are offering is safe and appropriate for them.... and we love that you are an Aussie :-) Thanks for your excellent videos!

[@MoreLifeHealth]

Thank you Ainslie, I appreciate that! Hope all is going well in Albany too!

[@kiranlanfranchi2539]

Another one I'd not commented on or "LIKED." Just did so. This routine is great when I'm a bit tired from either a bad night's sleep or after working around the house. Loved it. Well rounded, addressing all the vital areas. What can I say other than you did it again, Mike!...Anastasia

I am so glad I discovered your videos. I am 78 years old with osteoporosis arthritis and multi degenerative disk disease. I have been doing your exercises for two weeks daily and it has really made a positive difference in how I feel and allows me to accomplish so much more in my daily chores. I also do the balance workout and hopefully will see a difference. I hope to add the weight workout to my daily routine and I am happy that I can do it at home considering that covid has isolated us. Thanks for these videos from Vancouver, BC.

Thanks so much as someone who is in her Middle Ages of life but have multiple problems with cervical back nerve damage etc I’ve gotten really weak from being in pain all the time and not moving much other then around the house so now I get out of breath so easily. So I decided I need to do something that I can handle without being out of breath to much to start and this really does work the muscles a bit without to much pain or being out of breath so it’s really a good start for me to get back in shape thanks so much for making this video. Sadly I can feel it and that means it’s working. I say sadly because I shouldn’t be that bad at my age but at least I’m trying to get at least something back so I can gain some muscle back and maybe even help me with problems. I don’t want to continue going down hill.
