I have developed a transformational online program specifically for active seniors that are experiencing a loss of mobility or are keen on preventing it, ultimately enhancing their quality of life. For more information, please email me erik@eriklehane.com
I'm going to try this! It makes a lot of sense!!! I'm 63 and my quality of life is very important and it will be my main focus into my later years. Thank You Eric😊❤❤❤
Brilliant video.... I'm a personal trainer and train quite a few clients over 60, I'll make sure to incorporate more of this type of training for them 🙌 only just discovered you today..... Brilliant channel 😊
This is such good advice, I’m second half of my 60’s and can feel my fitness levels and strength dropping, going to try to incorporate this type of exercise
I am 85 and active and have avoided many falls using my rules which I think trump yours. Rule 1 Awareness - be aware of the dangers in your environment such as wet or slippery stairs leading to shops, subways etc. and do not walk where tree roots can trip you up or on uneven surfaces etc.etc. Rules 2. Anticipation - think through your actions before you make them. For example I see people using step ladders sideways on the the window they want to clean rather than facing it which gives the stability needed. Rule 3 - it is no use practicing your step forward routine if you are going to trip up backwards like my 80 year old neighbours who backed into a rolled up carpet when cleaning the floor and broke her femur. You need to train your brain to react to falls in any direction. Rule 4 - learn how to break your fall with your hands. Rule 5 - learn how to get up after a fall or carry a phone or device to be able to call for help, especially when walking alone in the woods etc.
I’m 54 and I do single leg jumps and two leg jumps as a part of basketball drill session. I do 3 reps for each of 4 jump types with 70-90% power. Then my lower body is sore for next two days. Should I wait until the soreness is gone? When I did it every day, I got Achilles tendon injury within a few months.
Thanks for these. Recovering from a hip replacement (8 weeks out, and now able to actually do these exercises), looking for suggestions to prevent/reverse sarcopenia, since this is what motivated me to go for the hip replacement. (Not wanting to end up in a wheelchair!) I don't even have to do the test. I can get up from the floor... slowly! But I appreciate how we need this type of exercise as well as the slow strength-building type.
