Thank you for the 4k upload chief. + 1 for the next level. I will try and do them every other day .. hip circles sound challenging.

@@Uprighthealth right now anything in a holding my leg up position is hard. Hips are done from sitting all day too many years. I thank God for giving you this gift and I thank you for sharing it. I didn't realize I already have many of these programs as I am a subscriber to the website. Twice a week to save my life? I think I can manage that! I struggle with consistency and committing and staying with a thing, like most humans. Your humor and heart for helping people to prevent injury and prolong health is encouraging. I can make these movements part of my work day, instead of scrolling videos(except Upright Health videos💪🏻) . I have already started 15 minute walks at lunch. Thanks again!✌🏻🤙🏻🚶🏼‍♀️🧡

[@poolpumped1364]

Hey @Uprighthealth first off, I am sorry to hear about your dad’s fall, hip break, and passing. As I approach the second fifty years and having a desk job I have noticed how tight my hips are and how weak my lower body is. It is humbling. I lift weights and perform cardio almost every day and have neglected the most important parts of my body like toes,feet, calves, hip flexors, glutes which are used to keep our bodies upright and stable. As a result, I am now focusing my attention my lower body strength and endurance as well as my flexibility. Thank you so much for the content you have created. It is an eye-opening and life-changing experience.

[@tillytogs]

Oh my goodness when you said don't act like a teenager 😅 I'm 68 and my Son is always saying mum why do you push exercise to the limit basically until it's painful. Hearing you say that makes me realise that I need to work up to the exercise instead of pushing until it's way to painful. I appreciate all of your videos thanks from Ireland 😊

[@kdpunshon3073]

I'm 79 and worked at dog grooming until I had to have gall bladder removed at 71 then fell backward at 75 since then for someone who's worked hard alk her life exercises make my body so sore I just want to die. Arthritis in hips then a fall after hubby died made the phsyatic nerve go through a personal space and can not shift it. Thanks anyway you are the best

[@debbyesche1257]

81 and sitting causes a lot muscle loss. I tend to walk at least 5-8000 steps a day. Doc sez keep moving..

[@rosecorley6748]

Thanks these seem so doable. I'm trying to write everything down so I can try to do the list when I get up in the morning. And I'm going to get the dumbbells and ankle weights as soon as I can. Thanks for advice about weights and the reps. I'm very hopeful. I'm 75 but am optimistic I can add some important strength to get off floors, improve my balance and range of motion..it may take a year to see good improvement but I have patience. Thanks for being so encouraging. I've run into so many Drs who frown on weight strength training, for wanting a strong back and core who don't care want I want for a comfortable life in my body...not theirs!!!

[@everythingelse_underthesun]

Matt, thank you for being you and for having Upright Health. This video especially, thank you for your generosity and trust in us to share your story about your parents. My parents are much older and I can see the distinct difference between them. Dad only walked as his form of exercise and among other health complications is fully wheelchair bound. Mom has her own issues but has always been more active in the garden etc and morning exercises and you can see she is still fully mobile. Caring for both often leaves me drained and your exercises have helped me in caring for my dad and his limited mobility. More importantly, your videos have helped me to IMPROVE my health making my life so much better. I can navigate stairs and I've never been able to squat until I started following your exercises. I watch your back pain follow along exercises religiously so I'd love it if you did this as a leg follow along video too. Take good care. Loyal sub for life!

[@nattywho]

I’m only 56 and I’m gonna start doing these at my desk at work!! I have sciatica and hip flexor issues, so I had to lay off all my squatting and deadlifting! So, I have to find alternative ways to work my glutes and I really like that rotational move!

[@mmayo1320]

Sorry Matt, for the loss of your parents. I am certain I will learn - I get impatient. Bless you!
