Safe Core Strengthening for Seniors: Easy Seated Workout

[@mariag.8242]

Don’t have to be a senior to find your body has become limited and need a gentle way to recover as much as possible. Very grateful to find these good instructive videos by Mike ❤

[@bethschuman1990]

exactly - was just going to say - i have found these very helpful and am not yet a senior. these are deceptively challenging!

[@SpookyPrude]

I’m only 28 but I’ve been chronically ill for the last few years and getting my strength back has been a nightmare. I tried this video out this morning on a whim and it feels SO GOOD to do a light workout and not have to worry about overexerting my body. Thank you for being clear, concise, and encouraging! :)

[@maryamdear2122]

Also a chronically ill young adult. We got this! Seated workouts have been a god send for me and my recovery

[@AndreaCombs777]

Mike, physiotherapist, THANK YOU for excellent and simple stretches and core conditioning. You are an excellent teacher for the aging body.

[@NavyWife]

I hope that you have made a complete recovery. We don’t truly appreciate our health until we don’t have it anymore.🙏🙏

[@david5596]

Hope that you are feeling better 1 year on

Great job Annamary! You should be very proud of your efforts. Keep up your great work :)

[@peggyseville189]

I'm 81. Mike! You are the only one online who stresses the importance of engaging the bellybutton toward the spine. It REALLY MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE. I can't thank you enough. I have been able to sleep through the entire night without using the restroom! Just one week of this regiment. I am recommending you to all my friends! Carpe Diem!!!!

Thanks for this routine. I especially appreciate the fact that there is no awful background music.

[@jillfever3028]

I have signed up to More Life Health. Mike knows what he is talking about as he is a trained professional. He won’t ask us to do anything that will hurt us. Thanks Mike for looking after us oldies.😃

[@MoreLifeHealth]

Thank you heaps Jill! You are very correct! :)

[@susandale7151]

As an injured lifetime triathlete whose body movements are now sadly limited I did not expect to happen upon your video. I can't thank you enough for the perfect (for me) content and your manner of presentation. I will continue to do this workout at least twice or more daily and will look for other videos from you. THANK YOU, MIKE!

[@ShanthanuSonu-p5d]

I've been looking for gentle exercises like this. It's perfect for my morning routine.

[@MoreLifeHealth]

I’m glad it’s a good fit for your routine! Keep up the great work!

[@ilsewenzel9424]

I can do almost 10 minutes. The longer ones are hard because of the length. Thank you for thinking of us elderly

[@SerenityLoman]

This video is actually less than 10 minutes when you skip to the work out its at 1:41

[@ociehand8478]

Enjoy your time love your chair exercise it is awesome 💯 thank for your patience.have a bless night 😔 ocie 💕

[@ociehand8478]

Awesome 👍💯 work out thank you so much for your time and support.ex.i love it ready for sleeping now.good night 😔 ocie 💕

[@barblacy619]

Thank you for the reminders to maintain an upright posture and to tuck in the tummy!

[@dolores1617]

Thank you Mike for your guidance. I am 66 years old and worked out in my early years. I enjoy your platform. Many baby boomers in here keep it up guys. The 70 and 80 year olds are moving it. Good mentors. 😂

[@ragdollmommy2]

I look forward to my exercise time. You remind us to straighten up, back straight and etc. It helps me. Thanks so much! I’m 75 and after a month I can go up and down my 3 steps with out holding on to the rail! I commented on another video and didn’t realize I said a week because I have followed you for over a month now. I do 3 -6 videos daily. I am love it! God bless you for working with seniors. I am not on FB yet. But thinking about it. Hope you really like where you moved! 😊🙏🏻

[@barbtaks4292]

I'm 72 and I really enjoyed these exercises. I especially like the gentle reminders.

[@MoreLifeHealth]

I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the exercises! It's wonderful to know that the gentle reminders were helpful for you. Keep up the great work!

[@jaykeeney7408]

This was a perfect workout to keep me in shape while recuperating from foot surgery. The directions are clear. The pace is good for me, and I don’t feel like I’m just sitting all day. Just discovered this and the Chair Exercises for Seniors. Looking forward to doing these at least once a day.

[@louismarucci9056]

This is excellent. Back in the day (the Stone Ages) I lived a physical life. I was a high school and college athlete, served in the Army and eventually competed in long distance running(5k, 10k, marathons, etc). Unfortunately I maintained that warrior mentality and pushed myself beyond the limits a 70 year old should. I’ve paid the price for my stupidity. This video puts things in perspective for me so that I can acknowledge my body’s limitations.

[@drai3641]

I am 68 years old and for fist time I hurt my upper arms by becoming instant gardener and carpetner as soon as I moved in the house. For a month and a half I worked eagerly every day until that night when sharp pain in my upper arm woke me up. I could not move the arm.... The difference between you and me is that I never worked physically that hard. So must be the stage I happend to be at the present time. I do feel sorry for me, you and anyone that must go through such a pain. The good thing is that I am enjoying the outcome of my effort, but will not do it insuch a speedy msnner Ever... Thank God we have Mike to help us. I only hope he lives close...

[@janrobinson7499]

Great core routine thank you 🙏 I’m 71 and getting fitter !

[@maryblewitt1912]

My husband and I are doing your exercises every day now we are 87 & 83 and feel so much stronger

[@MoreLifeHealth]

Amazing to hear Mary! (and husband)! Keep it all up! :)

[@pblinham5741]

Tried this to-day always feel a bit wairy as have oesteoperosis in my back so always trying to protect it incase it goes but also want better core muscles. Thank you did this one to-day though.

[@winnielangille9437]

Your exercises are wonderful. I am 73 with COPD & I can easily do them & I was taught to do the breathing exactly as you are teaching. Thank you Mike.

[@MarleneKluzek-k1h]

I’m so pleased I found you on You Tube. I exercise daily by using your sessions variable throughout the week.❤

[@MoreLifeHealth]

Hi Marlene. It’s fantastic to hear that you’re enjoying the sessions and incorporating them into your daily routine. Keep up the great work!

[@michelleisasi469]

Excellent! Thank you! I often use your exercises with the residents of the senior care home I work for. They enjoy the workouts and keep coming back.

[@MoreLifeHealth]

That's great to hear Michelle! Glad they are enjoying the exercises! :) Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work! 💪🙂

[@brendaprowse4534]

Such a nice exercise to gently strengthen the core. It feels so good. Thank you Mike!

[@beenaroy4928]

Amazing and easy to follow. I can feel those muscles getting energized. Thank you ❤

[@gkenn486]

I love Mike. I am 73-years-old and have been using his videos off and on for months. It's so easy to do and he is so easy to understand and follow. His good looks and accent are an added bonus. I encourage ANY Senior to try these. I hate to admit it, but doing these exercises has greatly diminished my bursitis, my arthritis in my right shoulder, and many other aches and pains I had from being an old couch potato. I am recommending him to everyone I know, my age or not. For younger folks, these are a super way to ease into more exacting exercises. I am SO glad I found this site. I LOVE IT! I would love to buy the videos. Are these available in DVD?

[@MoreLifeHealth]

Thank you Gkenn! I appreciate this comment and good to hear the exercises have given you benefit! Unfortunately, we do not sell a DVD, however there will be plenty more online videos to come! Stay tuned for more and keep up the great work! Cheers, Mike

[@savimavi1974]

Thank you so much Mike for all your videos. I exercise with you every day. This Core exercise is just what I needed now. You are so easy to follow and I love your explanations, the breathing and encouragement. I am trying all the exercises you posted. But my core is really weak and I hate to exercise on the floor.
