I don't think the actual definition of laziness is 'the action of avoiding pain'. I think 'the action of avoiding pain' is actually defined as smart. Learning some actions to take to avoid pain or further injury seems especially smart to me. If I'm still taking responsibility for improving the workings of my body when I'm 84 years old, I'll think I'm pretty smart indeed.

@@crystalconcrete7605 What he meant was that laziness onsets when the things you used to do and take for granted - suddenly become difficult. More often than not - in ways you did not expect. At that point - merely thinking about alternatives or ways to overcome difficulties (and yet persevere with doing the activities you used to do), - takes a significant amount of mental strength for older people. From my observation of working with seniors - this is the exact breaking point. Avoiding doing things and not bothering with alternatives. Next, doing less and less of everything - combined with a growing desire to be "left in peace and quiet", away from otherwise bright ideas akin to "do this and that". That's how they break. And laziness is right there to cause it. Laziness of age. And that is laziness on some huge steroids, make no mistake. It takes a mental strength or a Spartan warrior - to lead active life when you're 80 and up. That's why so few manage to do it. But, it's not impossible. You've got to start early enough and never stop. Otherwise, it may be too late and many (but not all!) doors will be permanently closed. Always look for multiple ways to be active, creative and positive. I've seen it being done. More so, i took part in helping others do it.

The word that stood out to me the most in your comment is fearful. Being fearful is a way of shutting your body down, lose the fear strengthen the mind and the body will get stronger by determination and will. Work slowly everyday and see how little changes will make a big change. Fear makes people give up. Best wishes hope it helps.

I’m a 69 yr old female. 10 years ago I was a runner. Mostly 5Ks. Some 10Ks, 10 milers and even 1 mini marathon. Under 3 hrs I might add. 4 yrs ago I fell and broke both ankles. 1 simple break. My right was dislocated, broke 3 bones and torn everything. It’s taken awhile but I’m running again. Not as fast. But, hey, I’m out there. In fact I’m doing a 5K this Saturday. Wish me luck.

I'm a 76 year old female who has sat too much the past three years because of the COVID lock down. Even tho the lock down ended a year ago I have kept sitting and staring at various screens at least four hours a day. It took two years of COVID to weaken my legs, and so the past year I have felt too out of shape to move. That is now ending. I have reached the point where it's going to be immobility if I don't strengthen my legs. This channel is so good I am motivated to watch all your videos and learn and go into action! What you offer is almost tailor made for me and my physio deficiencies. It is a God send. Thanks for all YOU do; and I must add that the comments here are so interesting, helpful, and inspirational. A big thank you to everyone!!

It doesn't take long to feel really bad I've found because before all that I was going to the gym 4or5 days a week 🫣. I feel awful and lack motivation these days, I find it really hard to just get started and I'm not going back to the gym until I feel a bit more 'in shape'. Good luck with your improvements

Hi Will, I have been doing the exercises for this...learned from you and am very impressed that they really work.I also used a 4kg kettle ball on my foot, applying the same principle. My walking is completely stable now, no knee pain and my lower limb feels 'light' when walking. I was feeling shaken and had lost confidence after falling and breaking both my wrists in 2022, and with a diagnosis of osteoporosis left feeling vulnerable when walking my dog. I managed to walk half of the West Highland Way this in June 2023, so a big thank you for sharing this so freely. I have just ordered your book from Amazon

I feel ‘energized’ when I walk. I look forward to my walks every day. Right now I’m 77 yrs old and my daily walk is five miles distance. I was a middle distance runner as a young man. I began running at age 14 - joined the AAU so I could compete in their track meets (800 meters) and got my little a** beat in every race by the 21 year old guys who were so much faster, had longer legs and quicker muscle twitch. That changed as I matured of course. I ran cross country in high school (got that letter jacket I so coveted). I continued running thru my adult years - collected whole drawers full of 10K race T-shirts in and around Eugene, OR back in the days when Prefontaine dominated every race… Eventually I donated all those race T-shirts to a charity and guys in El Salvador ended up wearing them. Eventually then - in my fifties I began having hip pains after heavy workouts and my physician (a runner himself) told me to ‘stop pounding the hip joints with daily miles - or I will have to do hip replacement surgery on you and you’ll have to relearn how to walk! Instead take up cycling, swimming, or walking.’ I began cycling and walking. For the past 15+ years I have been walking every day between five and eight miles/day. I walk year round. On summer evenings, when it’s 80° F, I head out about 90 mins to an hour before sunset. On winter days, when it’s as low as 24° F I take my walks in mid day when it’s warmest. The cautionary thing I’ll say about winter walking is BE AWARE of BLACK ICE! One of my walking companions slipped on black ice, fell, broke both wrists - when that happens you can’t even wipe your own behind or pull open the fridge door for six to eight weeks, so… Caution. My recommendation for serious walkers is: get some good earbuds or headphones- make yourself some mixes of music at your bodies preferred pace. My preferred pace is 116 BPM. So make all my walk mixes conform to that 116 BPM twitch rate. (You can adjust the beats/minute in GarageBand for example). I have dozens of 75 minute mixes I can choose from. Just suit up, lace up your shoes, put in your earbuds and go. Your pace may be faster than 116 or slower - experiment, you’ll find the right speed. Get out there on the road - enjoy the fresh air and the scenery - let the miles disappear under your feet. Do it every day. Build up a walking habit. You’ll be glad you did!

I'm 71 and I walk 7 miles at 3.3 mph every morning seven days a week. I takes me 130 minutes. I've missed one day in six years. The daily activity is my lifeline as I have stage IV liver disease and the frequent exercise has helped mitigate many of the issues related to my disease. I've lost 80 pounds and I'm no longer on the cusp of diabetes and my BP averages 100/60. I have to say it is hard to do. Every day is a new struggle to motivate myself to get moving but I do somehow. My right knee is bone on bone and needs to be replaced but I can't have the surgery due to low platelets. I won't let that stop me. Mind over matter every day gets me there.

Hello! Just want to share that this exercise can be done while you are lying in bed in the morning, even before you get out of bed. I did it for 4 months at the beginning of 2023, it was very helpful and easy, and helped my walking and balance. Only 10 counts in each leg is good for the first week, and then you can increase it to 3 sets of 10 each. You don't need to lean on any wall, especially if you have a herniated disc or compression on the back or spine. I have an L4 and L5 situation and I am 54 and suffering since 2021 so I did physiotherapy for several months last year and was taught these.. But these exercises are not easy against a wall. It's better until you strengthen your back to do them lying flat on your back. 🙏❤️

The Tib muscle doesn't only lift the foot up, it's a concentric muscle so it also slows down the foot fall, if the muscle is weak then the foot slams down onto the ground and puts too much shock through the leg and hip.
@truerosie
@truerosie 7 ай бұрын
All muscles work both concentrically and eccentrically; a slow return of the foot to the floor will exercise it eccentrically; this gives the control you are speaking of. He does cover this in the instructions, but doesn't mention that particular facet of the return to the ground.

I know an older lady who tripped and fell and fractured areas of her spine. She recovered and then fell again …both times she said her foot didn’t lift and caused the fall. I can’t believe this wasnt addressed when she was in rehab. Also, it’s sad out healthcare system only treats the sick you and doesn’t recommend ways to prevent injury. I’ve never heard of this muscle or these exercises. Thank you.

I second that. My husband and I were going for a walk and he was walking behind me for a stretch with one of our dogs. He noticed my right ankle was bowed in - pronated- and recorded a video on his phone to show me. I was shocked! I had no idea that ankle pronated, and I had been having some pain in that need for some time. I immediately got some appropriate OTC insoles, and within a couple of days that knee was feeling great and greatly reduced the pronation in that ankle.

My best trick is catching my toe(s) on downfall branches or rocks or uneven ground. I use hiking poles which have saved me many falls as well as helping me with better walking posture. Cutting to the chase ... in the last year, I have been troubleshooting various hip/knee issues and the whole muscle unbalance thing is a big player ... I believe.

OK for what it's worth, I'm 54 and don't have any problems walking or any pain in my legs or feet. I did start to get pains - tailor's bunions on both feet and a lot of pain in my left big toe and knee - in my mid-forties. I went to a doctor and he said, 'Normal wear and tear, you're middle-aged now, get used to it.' Not wanting to get used to it, I went away and thought about it and realised my little toes didn't have enough space in my shoes - any of my shoes - and I'm talking about supposedly comfortable Puma and Adidas. So I went out to buy the widest shoes I could find and, at this point, that was a pair from Vivobarefoot. Truth was, they still didn't give me quite as much toe space as I wanted, but it was such a huge improvement that my foot pain was all gone in about two weeks and later, as I got more into walking and running in barefoot shoes and my feet and legs got stronger, my knee pain went too. Might also be because I found some even wider shoes. I see older people getting into difficulties with walking and with a lot of it, I think, well, what do you expect? Your toes, which ought to be a large part of your support and propulsion, are immobilised, meaning your feet can't support you properly and your weight's on your heels instead of the toes and balls of your feet, meaning your legs are locked and hence less springy and therefore everything's out of whack. If you're having problems with all this, at least give barefoot shoes a chance.

This is similar to my problem. I had knee replacements a decade ago. Now I need a hip replacement, I have to do some PT first and then get surgery done in a couple of months. My gait is all off though. And it hurts to walk, I just hurt all over but I still do walk and do what I can in the way of exercise. After my hip replacement I will have to re learn how to move. I go to the pool a couple of Times a week and that does give me some relief when I'm in water. I will try these exercises in addition to what they are showing me in physical therapy. I may try the trekking poles someone said in the comments. I do walk nature trails in parks. I saw someone using those poles and wondered if it would help support me better when walking. I wish you the best and hope you find improvement with walking and you continue to heal.

Currently recovering from a torn Achilles tendon so am learning how to walk again after 12 weeks in a boot. So dorsiflexion is not appropriate just yet but heel raises are. Each day I can physically feel the improvements as the ankle range of movement gets progressively better and stronger. I have turned my daily walking environment into a gym; so I do knee flexions against a wall, squat standups & sit downs at the bus stop and I found a lovely set of small steps with a handrail where I could work my weak leg by moving the good leg up and back down a step 10 times. People must have thought I was crazy starting to go up a step then appearing to change my mind and go back down a step but it worked brilliantly on my leg. Each day feels better than the previous day.

Despite what you think, walking without decreasing your eating doesn’t cause weight loss. The body partitions the calories differently. But it does get blood flowing all over and has other good effects, so keep at it. Sometimes after getting over an initial hump, people will spontaneously eat a little less when they exercise consistently but you might have to target it. Best wishes.

I think one exercise in my routine is raising yourself on your toes and then back and up on your heels. This may help strengthen the tibia muscle but I have big problems through rheumatoid with deformed toes etc. I am so pleased that I, at least am able to do this exercise without putting weight through my poor old feet. I am 75. I think this is a very important exercise and will definitely share this valuable info with friends. ❤❤ THANKYOU!!!

You exactly described my symptoms, as I am relearning to walk, with a goal of walking the Camino di Santiago later next year. Am subscribed now, and will get your book. Awesome advice, thank you!

I began adding this exercise to my routine when I saw Ben Patrick Knees over toes Guy videos. Big help for knee pain as well as walking backwards. No more knee pain at 80 years. Thank you I'll do the walking tomorrow as you suggest. I subbed.

I’m 88 years old. I fell and tore muscles in my lower back 5 years ago. Had new hip two years ago. Used a walking stick for four years until I started going to the local gym three to four times a week- now walk normally - use trek poles if I hike - will use this exercise - thank you

I’m 61 years old now. For year’s I’ve suffered from chronic widespread pain throughout my body. Severe pain ! I have scoliosis in the early stages however after several yrs my body has become more twisted too the point I’ve developed a hunchback and recently the level of pain has dramatically increased due muscle spasms. Additionally I’ve suffered from fibromyalgia chronic pain for decades, and one ankle that periodically shoots sharp pain when I apply pressure of my weight on it. Dealing with the various pains has been incredibly difficult and has worsened over the yrs overtime causing me to be less active gradually. As any activity including just standing always rapidly increases my levels of pain to intolerable levels. I’m now too the point that I’ve lost the majority of my bodies muscle strength. In fact I’m telling my story in the hopes of preventing others from making the same mistake I had made. Which overtime has resulted in my current weakened condition and balance problems. My sister whose 4 yrs older than me can run circles around me. While I struggle simply too walk from one room to another. Believe me when I say no matter how difficult or painful minor activities become. Don’t make my mistake and become less active with time. Now my weakened condition affects my daily life in every way and I realize the significance of “ Physical Movement “!! Except now it’s like I’ve got a mountain too climb we’re exercising is concerned. Just walking for exercise seems almost too difficult. Although anyone out there whose suffered severe chronic pain may understand how difficult and painful all physical activity can be. If I had it too do over again, I’d force myself to remain even mildly active. Having not done so, I haven’t done myself any favors. Quite the opposite! Again I understand why and what caused me to gradually become less and less active. Severe chronic pain has a tendency to do that. Each day you spend it trying too reduce your levels of pain so you don’t go mad. Walking for me now is strenuous and unbalanced. My feet shuffle versus stepping correctly. Ironically just yesterday I had to go get supplies for my home and had such a hard time just walking. I realized that I’ve no time to waste and I need to do something ASAP! Where do I begin tho ?! Then this video was on my phone today and I realized this is it ! I must attempt this exercise as a place to start recovering my strength and balance. Thank you for being someone who offers exercises for 50 yrs old and up. The majority of exercise videos target a much younger and healthier generation. Routines I could never attempt safely. Thanks too you Sir and your video guidances. I’ve now got somewhere to begin safely exercising. Too others whom might read my comments. I can honestly say that the less active you become the quicker you’ll loose your bodies basic function abilities and once that happens it’s all the more difficult to work on getting back the most basic functions your body requires too do anything. Always consult your doctor first but please don’t make the mistake I had. I sincerely wish that I’d have at least gone for regular walks. Just slow casual walks daily if possible. I never imagined that something so simple as walking would become so difficult. And due the strength loss in my upper body and limbs. Twisting open a jar or bottle has become nearly impossible for me. In some instances I’ve actually had too leave child proof over the counter med bottles lids opened. And have had to ask neighbors to open jars for me. I feel like I’m 90 yrs old not 61. While my 64 yr old sibling is incredibly physically fit and active. I tire just watching her. Ooh how I envy her !! She regularly maintains a wkly exercise routine. Her motivation is me and my unfit condition. I regularly encourage her and others to remain active. I don’t have all the answers. I know too well how severe pain can easily discourage you from being active, especially when that increases your pain. And all you strive for daily is some relief. However I wish I would have fought thru the pain of activity. God bless all. 🙏❤️

I relate completely to your condition. Your story of pain, inactivity/sedentary lifestyle and regrets are mine also. I'm doing this exercise lying down as I type this comment. Gotta start somewhere! Wishing success to both of us and everyone else 🙏

I have severe degenerating discs in my lower back. I find walking incredibly painful on my lower back. And this results in my not walking as much as I should or when I do walk, relying on my hips which end up hurting also. Do you have a video showing exercises I could do to ease pain and extend my walks. I used to enjoy them so much. I am 72, female.

Excellent exercise with a thorough explanation. I love to walk and hike and use the standing desk for my work, and every bit of information I can get is useful to me. I also understand that hiking on woodland trails with stones and roots that make the terrain uneven is excellent for our walking and our sense of balance. Many thanks for your KZbin channel! (62yo)
