Muscle Gain Resistance Band Routine for Ages 50+

[@birdlady88]

You've really been cranking out the great videos lately. Every time one comes out, I say to myself, "I need that!" Pretty soon I'll have to start setting aside 6 hours a day to fit them all in.

It's always good to have options up your sleeve to pick from!

Thanks Will - these band exercises are so much more strenuous than one might expect. I had done band work with a personal trainer a few years ago, and will now pull them out of retirement!

[@HT-Physio]

They're a great tool to have in the house!

Thanks, Will! I have been doing the BEST RESISTANCE BAND EXERCISES from your video from about 7 months ago! This video is a good refresher and will help me fine tune a bit!

Hi Will. I enjoy watching your videos. I recently retired and am spending more time exercising. Six months ago I purchasing a Stationary Exercise Fan Bike With Dual Action Handlebars. I love it! I ride it everyday and feel more energetic and flexible. What other exercise equipment do you recommend for seniors? Thank you for all you do.

Hi Will thanks for all the fitness tips. I had a mini stroke some months ago which left me with vertigo, that’s now gone but has left all muscles very weak, I fall I wobble 🫨my walking is not good to say I used to run 5/6 times a week that not going to be happening again,I’m 78 tomorrow so I started on Friday trying to do the balancing exercises every day,heel raises, balancing on one leg, sit to stand even tried the one falling forward to stop myself from falling,found that one difficult,I will continue with the balancing ones then hopefully start with trying to build my muscles. I have been saving all your videos ready for when I was fit enough to start them..thanks for Friday tips. 👍

Keep up the good work! I had a mild stroke two years ago so I’ve a good idea what you’re going through. It does get better, but you have to keep it up, keep moving daily. I used to walk a minimum of three to five miles a day! Still trying to get back to that 5-mile point again. YOU CAN DO IT! 🙏🏻🌹

[@jasminecaulden1089]

My daughter got me some resistance bands and I have several of your video's I can do. What I need to know is ways to lose weight for over 50, in my cause 64. I'm overweight by about 100 lbs. This causes pain in my lower back and knee's. I need to know what I can do to lose weight, other then walking or paying for something. I do have an elliptical as well as the bands. My biggest huddle is getting into a routine after being sedentary for so long (decades) and may have a circulation problem as a result, but haven't been tested for that. Oh just remembered, once is a blue mood I do have a sciatic issue, I have mild arthritis in my wrists and lower back, one chiropractor said my tailbone was rigid, he could be right. Finally, when it comes to twisting at the waist, I scare doctors because of how much my back with twist. Haven't been to chiro in over 10 years so don't know if that's still the case.

[@rowenajamias6667]

I love your video im female 66 yrs old nxt month… im doing my lifting exercises too,,, i really want to build muscles it’s hard but i have been doing it for a year my husband says he can see my muscles now im glad…

Happy birthday for next month! Keep up the great work you're doing, it sounds like the results are starting to speak for themselves :)

[@stephanygates6491]

My difficulty is in proceeding with the 2nd and 3rd sets, after taxing myself almost to failure on the first one. I'll try that drop technique. At least I'll get more out of one set!

[@OkieJammer2736]

Oh, NEEDED! 🎉 Thanks so much for these muscle-building exercises we can do at home.

[@HT-Physio]

Very happy to help - I'm pleased it came at the right time!

[@zoedoodle]

Hi Will, My focus is rebuilding bone. I'm 73 and have exercised, including with weights regularly nearly 7 days a week for years. I do it with videos at home and now with youtube but it did not prevent me from going from osteopenia to osteoporosis in the last couple years. For my age I have pretty good muscle tone and I really don't want to 'bulk up', just have strong muscles and which I understand will generate better bone density. Will this type of exercise help me accomplish my goals? I know you aren't a doctor and my doctor is definitely encouraging me to challenge myself using more weight.

[@Lange123Thomas]

Hi Will, maybe I’m the only one, but I miss your fifth workout. I think your workouts fit perfectly for me and the resistance bands are perfect for using them during a vacation so please give us the fifth resistance band workout!💪

To be honest Will. these exercises are also suitable for younger people who have mobility and joint problems. In my opinion everyone can benefit from them and not only those who are over fifties! Thank you for coming up with such fabulous exercises, I am in my early forties and always watch your videos, great to build flexibility. Would you recommend a higher intake of protein to build muscle?

Thanks for the lowering the resistance trick. This can be applied to almost every exercise. And I've found I'm now willing to try a higher weight to begin a set, because I can lower the weight if I need to.

Will, are the colors of the resistance bands and the tension they provide standard? So, if you use a yellow or red band and I purchase a yellow or red band will they provide the same tension as the ones that you are showing in your video? Ty! Are the Bands A more difficult workout than using free weights to do the same exercises? Ty! Love your videos and your demonstraton/explanation!!!

[@allanpennington]

OK Im nearly 64, (ex army where I was 95kg and around 12-15% body fat most of the time). After many surgeries/injuries and inability to exercise; at the age of around 56 I was 134Kg and over 40% body fat. After 3 years of moderate dieting and walking mostly Im now at around 100kg and 30% body fat. So I have managed to remain at around 70kg of lean mass throughout. Obviously I had more muscle mass when I was younger and in the army but assume this is consistent now with older age and loss of testosterone, plus being less physically able and active. My ideal would be somewhere in the vicinity of 95kg and 25% body fat. My question is: Is there really such a thing as muscle memory and can I realistically gain any lean muscle back? Bearing in mind I probably can't weight train but could incorporate some sought of resistance training, I have a rowing machine and magnetic static bike to use for exercise. What is realistically achievable for me now? Thanks
