As a senior lady I find you videos very valuable for keeping me moving. The different angles and detailed instructions are very helpful. Thank you always!

[@HT-Physio]

Always happy to help! Thank you for your kind feedback

Thanks for this. Walked around Rochdale yesterday and my right knee is stiff today. I’ll know to correctly warm up now. Your ‘hole in the sock’ info was shocking but I powered through it. 😂

[@user-vx9bt7tf3x]

Dear ones, out there, please know these warm up exercises really, really work! I have severe osteoarthritis and after a little while working, especially when shopping, the pain in my knees increased and l had to walk slower and slower, stiff as a rod. Sometimes l even shortened my morning walks, but now, after my first warm up exercises, as above, it was a joy to go walking this morning! It was as if my knees have been oiled with warm oil and l just strolled along; even after coming back and walking in the house the workout still continued. Thank you, dear Will Harlow, for putting this here for us oldies (me am 74 🙂) and you are truly a hero to us! Take care😊 all and do these warm ups, it's worth all the effort! ❤🚶💚!!

[@HT-Physio]

Thank you so much for your kind words - I'm so pleased that my video has helped, that's great to hear! Wishing you all the best :)

[@user-vx9bt7tf3x]

​@@HT-Physio Thank you, Will.🙂

[@lupechacon-florez7520]

You are wonderful for sharing your experiences It means so much. All the best to you and thank you.

[@tareichadwick8270]

What a way to get you to start the day off...Simple, easy warmup exercises that encourages you to enjoy your day. Thank you 🙏🏼 Will, my hero ❤

[@HT-Physio]

Thank you so much! Wishing you a great day

[@rbrown6476]

Hey, Will. No judgement for having a hole in your sock - shows that you’ve been working while walking/exercising/teaching, and that’s a good thing for you and for us. Also I don’t trust people who always have perfect new, bright white socks/trainers or clothes - it shows they are obsessed with how they look, and that means they have no time to consider other people! And shows they don’t walk anywhere 😂😂😂 They’ll be using your videos when they’re old and stiff from not exercising, that’s for sure! Also we should all be wearing our clothes till they are full of holes, for the sake of the planet. If I lived near you, I’d be offering to darn your socks - I like hand darning but it’s a dying art 😂😂😂 Anyway, as always, I’m very grateful for your wonderful, helpful videos - I have difficult health conditions and your suggestions and reminders, delivered in a simple straightforward way, have enormous impact. Thank you ❤

[@manasikashyap]

I’ve been doing the warm ups from your other videos & they are so helpful! I’ve found I’m tripping less & having less pain while walking. Thank you!

[@HT-Physio]

That's great to hear thank you so much for your feedback!

[@llc8064]

Thank you Will! I look forward to your instructional video every morning. I will be trying this today. Love that you make these exercises simple and quick 🙏

[@SusanHaydon-kp1jc]

Did this with you. Great! Will do this everytime before l go out with my dog. Thanks Will. Loving this channel. Glad l found it and you.

[@wandabrady2178]

This was so helpful thank you for sharing…I don’t see well enough to detect any flaws in your socks…you are amazing!

[@bumbleguppy]

I learn something new every time I watch. Also, my copy of the book is in the mail. Thank you for making taking care of myself a warm and professional education and not a over-the-top cavalcade of click bait excitement :)

[@HT-Physio]

Thank you so much for your support - I hope you really enjoy the book!

[@shekofriends]

Asian small build well passed 60+ and find this channel very educational. i give my thumbs up for this young professional.

[@HT-Physio]

Thank you! I'm pleased you find my work helpful :)

[@janloftness]

Thanks! I don’t have pain when I walk but I will do these anyway to keep it that way.

[@mcgaugh57]

I'll do all these, hopefully it helps the start of walk, seems like the first 15 minutes of walk is when pain is worst.

[@HT-Physio]

Wishing you all the best

[@mcgaugh57]

It has helped alot with hip pain.@@HT-Physio

[@HeatherMcInerney]

Thanks Will. As always another interesting video.

[@corazontolentino3107]

Love ❤ your videos Will. Very detailed n easy to follow ur instructions. I’m learning a lot. Thanks 👍

[@j.b.abraham4175]

Thank you, Will. I never quite know what exercises are good for walking warm-ups. This is brilliant. And about your book, I'd love to purchase one, but is it crossing a line if I said I'd like a signed copy? Have you, or can you do that, or have you thought of that? I don't know if there are any other viewers who may read this or watch you. I think they might like a signed copy of your book. Maybe they can comment and add to the list. I will say this. As someone who is now in their 50s and experiences different aches and pains compared to ten years ago, this makes a huge difference. Especially from someone who is not in that age range and can help bring the correct range of motion and movement back properly. Anybody should give Will a watch. He's amazing.

[@chriswilcocks8485]

Practical and clear Excellent

[@thatjeff7550]

Thank you for posting these tips. They've actually helped me get more involved in exercising more and relieving some stress I've been having.

[@HT-Physio]

That's great to hear - keep up the great work!

[@kurshifmahomed1137]

Thank you

[@MariaPascualPatrao-re1lz]

I go for a run 3 times a week and before I do these exercises with the resistence bands and they really help. Thanks from Madrid, Spain.

[@cherylfankhauser6963]

Great video. Did you get those socks for Christmas?

[@susiewanng2285]

This is what I need! Must remember to warm up before walking. Thanks, Will. I usually feel weakness in my knees after half an hour. Shorter time if there is something I have to carry a distance.

[@HT-Physio]

Wishing you all the best!

[@zainabsuleman2707]

Warm up exercises are very helpful. I would like to express my gratitude. Thankyou

[@artdawggy]

Great warm up. Get yourself some new socks. You deserve it!

[@maryalgar8779]

Hope you got your new socks for Christmas. Some of my favourite socks have holes in them too :)

Thank you so much for your mindful advices. ( I watch your videos from Lyon, France)

[@HT-Physio]

Thank you for watching!

[@nancycy9039]

Thanks for this, as always, Will 🙏🏻 In the last exercise here, you say lift the knee up, then ‘out’, though the 2nd part appears to be ‘back’ behind you, not ‘out’ to the side. Is it both?

[@Satnam7275]

Thank you So. You are doing great

[@HT-Physio]

Thank you!

[@davelindemulder8086]

I tried this today and walked 3 1/2 miles without pain. I usually have knee, hip or muscle cramps on a walk of this length. Having such a short simple warmup is easy to add to my regular routine. THANKS!

[@HT-Physio]

You're more than welcome!

[@davelindemulder8086]

@@HT-Physio After using this warmup before walking for several weeks now I can say for sure it was not just a one-off, this really works well allows me to walk daily without pain.

[@sophieamirian6726]

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH ❤ VERY VALUABLE AND IMPORTANT VIDEO ❤ PLEASE KEEP UP THE GOOD ❤

Thank you!

Hello Dr Will, I keep on watching your this channel. Very much appreciated. I am 60 had ankle ligament tear in august 2023. Had wear cast shoe for 1 and half months. But still have pain which exercise I should do. I will great full for your suggestion and help.

That's great to hear, I'm pleased I can be of help!

[@kennethcole1551]

My pain when walking is from my tendons not my muscles. This is been my major problem since I was 50 Now I’m 86 and I still have pain from walking and now I have trigger fingers all kinds of tendon problems

[@Quince828]

This should help with my shin and hip pain that keeps me from walking longer.

[@HT-Physio]

[@vijayaLakshmi-qf8mq]

I had my knee replacement surgery done can I do these exercises before I go for a walk pls let me know

[@marilynmiser8532]

Do you have a warm up for your lower back? I sometimes wake up with lower back pain. I have RA.

[@DNA350ppm]

Give a tip, please, how to buy your book without using Amazon, which i've sworn to never use, after I became aware what a lousy empoyer the company is = lousy meaning: can't live up to Labor Union standards in Sweden. Sometimes when you are out running or walking, please figure out another concept! 🙂 You could also ask Lucy Wyndham-Reed, she might have some good tips! Thanks for all your advice for us 50+ and more!

Sir i have l4-l5 and l5_s1 disk bulg, since 6 month. Im 23. Pls tell me the solution sir.

M 80 n have a broken hipbone operated 15 yrs ago. Is it safe to do tthe same exercise?

[@linebrunelle1004]

up to 6 years ago, I'd walk, hike, anything for hours. One incident, haven't been able to heal enough to go one block. I exercise every day. weight, stretch, tai chi. It's sad.

[@HT-Physio]

I'm really sorry to hear about your incident, I'm wishing you all the best

[@dianapugh1534]

It's not so much the pain with me, it's the shaking tremors I get when I've been standing for a while.

[@kkrolf2782]

You might want to see a neurologist under those circumstances, or at least, your GP. But, if your diet is less than encompassing, you may want to try A PORTION (¼ or ⅓) of a “Balanced B-100 Complex”, about 20 - 30 mins., before you have to stand for any length of time. I don’t get shaky nearly so often as when my D3 levels were in the tank (took me a bit, but they’re now where they need to be), but occasionally I still do, and it’s usually when I’ve been working full out on yard chores or scrubbing my floors by hand. Get yourself checked out, Kid. Sometimes the “fix” is simple, but, either way, DON’T wait!!

[@linak7155]

I will take advantage of these simple exercises. For most of my life, I have enjoyed walking, but as of this past year, it has become challenging to get going in the morning. 🌞🌧❄️ 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

[@HT-Physio]

It can definitely be tough, but it's definitely worth it!

[@cherylthibeault9028]

Buy this guy a pair of socks 😊
