I am 72 years old, have gray hair, a lumpy body, a few wrinkle, move slow, and fart a lot, all of the characteristics younger people see as senior, their polite word for "old." Well, ok. The way I look at it, they'll get here someday and then they can have the experience of having those of lesser age label them "senior." Meanwhile, I'm all for doing this exercise as well as others, although I don't consider any one of them as the most important. The most important activity is for "seniors" to get up and DO things. Otherwise, move into a retirement home and stay out of the way. Happy moving, folks.

Don't disagree with your end game conclusions. I am 72 and can do this easily( because I haven't ever stopped). I have seen a number of studies supporting calf raises ( soleus esp). But I would add STRETCHING!!! Even ppl who can't run or lift weight can stretch, focusing on each section of your body from fingers to toes. It does important activation of muscle fibers.

[@facelquetglas8929]

Smart!

[@joehellno9097]

I suggest varying the arm position during the squat. If you put your arms back while squatting, they serve as a bit of a counterweight so everything is not forward with legs and hips lifting and holding it all. And with arms back, you'll be doing a variation of the chest expansion/back contraction. But you'll also feel it in the back of the arms, that is rear delts and triceps. Again, this 'arms as counterweight' is not to replace the central exercise, but merely provides alternatives for weight placement or positioning. I find it particularly beneficial to begin with, before moving arms forward over the thighs.

[@attiliadin]

😅Come on guys, we are seniors. I think what is being refuted is the stigma so many attach to being a senior, being less than. I think of when we were in high school, being a senior was a good thing.

Thrns out I get injuries so easily it’s irritsting! My rheumatologist told me I can’t do yoga. I guess I can’t do a lot of things. I have lupus psoriatic arthritis osteoarthritis I was just gardening and just stretch down to the ground after I was arranging rocks and pulling weeds. I think I did too much in one day so my advice to anybody watching this take it easy don’t try to go too fast or do too much when you get started go in slowly and easily cause if you haven’t been getting out of the chair like my 89-year-old mother, she almost never gets out of the chair and then when she does get up, she overdo it. Her back really hurts her as much as you wanna get into shape and feel strong. Take it easy gradually build up.

Hi, I'm 87 young. I love watching your videos. I try to do those exercises as much as I can also I try deep breathing that you recommend in a different video for lowering high blood pressue. Thank you for precious information. ARIGATOU from Tokyo, JAPAN.

[@JohnBullard]

A little addition to good info- the "invisible chair" is not squatting. When your hamstrings are pressed down on your calves, you are squatting. Squatting to empty the bowels is a mechanism for keeping the lower back healthy by stretching it for the length of time it takes to crap on the ground, but we don't do that, and so we miss out. To regain the real squat, with real benefits (which are found in the bottom half of the movement), one must regain Achilles and ankle mobility, the worst impediment to squatting. Every morning, grab the bathroom counter and stretch each calf, then grab the sink and lower yourself into a squat as deep as you can, and work up to a minute, then longer and longer until you can stay in a squat as a resting position for an hour if you wish (or playing with your grandchildren). Sink squats are the way back. Sink squats are easy to remember to do and don't take much time. I'm 65. I also used this method to regain full range of motion in my knee after an altercation with a Prius (My bike was as twisted as my leg.) The foundation of fitness longevity is joint and spine care.
