I still have a tear in the meniscus in my right knee after two orthoscopic surgeries. The doctor said if he took out anymore I'd need a knee replacement that was 2008. Do you have any videos to show what to do to strengthen your legs when you have a torn meniscus appreciate your help

[@GGTutor1]

I learned that my glutes are short and tight, pushing my hips in and that my hamstrings are tight. Need to stretch.

[@dontitomartin5396]

I am 78 years, and slowly building my body back from many years of neglect

[@DoreenBellDotan]

You're a young man, but your understanding of the needs of the elderly are singular. Thank you so much.

[@alidalavezzari4103]

He is very good, problaby in previous lifes he was elder and resolved many issues so now he teach what he learned. Karma.

[@sharonhainesNumber1Red]

@@alidalavezzari4103 There are no previous lives. The Bible says in Hebrews and in Romans that there is but one life, and then the judgment.

I've worked with a lot of older clients in the past. I also tried to help my mom as she was dying inch by inch with dementia. And one day I will die, so I hope to do so with open eyes and as strong a body as possible.

[@michaelar6559]

3-4 years ago started to STAND ONLY taking shoes & socks off - now am an expert at one leg standing, squatting, wobbling and recovery! Slow but sure like the tortoise! However, your ankle/foot strength exercises have made me even more stable, thank you!

[@2Hearts3]

Thanks! This instruction is so important to help us 'stay vertical.' I'm finding these days (65+) that it doesn't take much to throw me off and set me back. So I'll try to work on strength and balance more. As the old commercial used to say, "Thanks-- i needed that!" 👏👍

[@yagirl177]

My mom is 65 and you can’t tell because of how active she is. It’s never too late to get a new skill and improve yourself. People are living longer. 65 is the new 40 :)

[@janetleeharrison]

This is perfect! I've been noticing that I wobble/teeter a little bit when stepping out of the shower. Or, especially when drying off the bottoms of my feet one at a time. I watched your hip strengthening video earlier this week. So I'm getting serious about strengthening my lower half at home before joining to a gym and lifting gym weights with a trainer. THANKS👍🙂

[@jude8223]

I recently discovered that calluses had developed upon my feet without me noticing, and those calluses impeded my ability to perform balance exercises. I recommend looking at your feet frequently and taking care of them.

[@debra6671]

You are helping me gain strength after my surgery. Thank you so much! 😊

[@pieinthesky9646]

Thank you I watch lots of videos on stretching and building muscle. Balance is something that I am trying to improve to better complete Tai Chi form.I truely enjoy your videos.

[@michaelak.2021]

Vielen Dank.....entlich auch was für wirklichen Aufbau der Muskulatur alles andere ist kontraproduktiv....die meisten Videos sind einfach für schon sehr fortgeschrittene....lg Michaela🤗

[@johnb7326]

Great video!! I’ve progressed to a balance board to help my knees with great success. Thanks

[@irenaprzybylska3990]

Thanks...I am a senior and need your exercises

[@wr9418]

Thank you again for a great, motivating video. I would like for you to do a video on what it means when your knees move out when you bend over or squat. What can you strengthen to stop that? Thank you.

[@pattykent8258]

So love the simplicity of these exercises.....thank you❤

[@rachaelhoffman-dachelet2763]

My current favorite balance exercise is standing on one leg with the other ankle crossed on the standing thigh in a figure four stretch, and then I bend the sanding leg like chair pose. Seems like a nice multi purpose exercise, strengthens the standing leg, works balance and is a nice stretch.

[@55mblindy]

Excellent so far I send it to one of my kids excellent exercise for if you’re lazy during the summer and you wanna go skiing

[@debbiecheesman3787]

For both balance and strength, try standing on one foot using a yoga block and staying as long as you can. Pressing thru the foot, lifting up tall thru the leg/torso.

[@alexis5350]

Thank you so much for your great explanations and easy to do exercises. I have been walking 3 or 4 miles a day, but I have such sore hips when I stand up after sitting, and now I understand that walking alone won't strengthen my leg muscles or hip muscles. I expect that doing these leg and core exercises (along with your hip exercises) will help me get over this soreness so I don't hobble after sitting. Thank you!!!

[@Uprighthealth]

Hope these exercises will help you! Thanks for supporting my channel!

[@ruth8268]

Love this. Going to add to my weekly routine. Thank you!

[@lauratempestini5719]

I love your work!!!! Your gentle approach to the beginners!!👏🏻👏🏻🌱

[@angeladavies]

Articulated, demonstrated and explained exceptionally. I learnt movements necessary to functioning better and the reasons necessary to strengthen certain muscles. Thankyou for video.

[@kevinkuretich1892]

Thanks!

[@Uprighthealth]

Huge thanks, Kevin!

[@judyclaunch3248]

Perfect. Great explanations.

[@MikeNielsenN4S7M4]

Although I haven't said it before, THANKS!, very much, for sharing your knowledge and presenting it in ways that are simple yet, in the long term, effective and relatable for us at different stages.

[@thetwokerrys]

Thanks for all your amazing, helpful and funny videos Matt - you’re a legend!!!!😊

[@JenKirby]

I think I might be able to do some of that! My right leg is paralysed (polio) so I can’t do a lot of the leg strengthening exercises. As for balance, because my right leg is paralysed and shorter than my left leg, my balance organs packed up to save me from sea sickness! (My sons never wanted me to carry when they were little because of the seasickness effect)

[@donnabeaudin9114]

This is just what I need! Was in he garden yesterday digging up a plant, and tumbled onto my butt. Starting these tonight! It is embarrassing to Fall on your butt…

[@katlas]

Stay awake 😂 I’m laughing and learning when I watch this channel!

[@MegaMusical10]

FANTASTIC!

[@normaenglish]

Thanks! I let myself lax. So previous issues hav progressed. &Yes I've xperienced (mind says yes body says don't think so) oh well I do it anyway.&go thru after effects(better than atrophy.

[@littlevoice_11]

Please can you share a video about exercises to increase leg strength and buttom strength when someone has painful hip osteoarthritis?

[@AlexProudfoot1]

Rather than pressing down on something to help you balance, have a go at a slight lift eg door handle, hand under the back of a chair, or hand under a table. This lift action connects the muscles of the arms to your back and encourages you to use your leg muscles appropriately.

[@AleksoLaĈevalo999]

My fave balance exercise? Tip-toeing.

[@ides1959]

Tree pose and THANK YOU for this series

[@laurie6123]

Should we worry about knee beyond toe?

[@prashantgujar9159]

Specific Yoga positions are for balancing.

[@runcoweezrun8143]

Static squats, different widths, weight more on the balls of feet. Work up to 60 seconds.

[@ruthpaino6171]

Love it. You teach me stuff and make me laugh....xxx

[@affendiariffin8032]

Marvellous

[@mariannebrown6652]

At the moment I cannot get down to the floor- Will this be effective on my bed? It’s a very firm mattress

[@brucejensen3081]

Romanian lunge or pistol squat would have to be best for balance, i do believe

[@lauratempestini5719]

Can you tell how a person can trim and tone muscles that are overly developed. Such as the glutes that being overly developed and make a person look disproportionate.

[@michaelduffy6874]

"Put your weight on your toes." I have no choice, since my heels come up of the floor as soon as I start to squat.

[@fraconadventure1885]

are those barefoot shoes? Can you tell me the model please?

[@Uprighthealth]

Yes! They're the softstar dash runamoc
