Can’t say enough good things about the exercises in this video. And having had shoulder surgery followed by back issues, have become an exerciser. I much prefer free weights to bands and have used both extensively, but now mostly free weights. I know you do have to purchase them and they lay around, but this is a lifetime commitment. I am now a 73 yr old female that loves working out. I have found that leaving the weights in the dinning or living room is both a reminder and a convenience. Ok, so they are in my living room, so what. I use them most days and maybe seeing them will inspire someone else. Admittedly, it is not easy to get in the habit, but when you do, it’s a great addiction. I was beginning to lose some balance, was not standing up straight, lost core strength and so on. The rewards have been worth it. I am not done using this body yet . If it takes you a few or many times to really get going, that’s ok. But keep trying; it is so worth it. And don’t be intimidated by numbers of repetitions and sets. Do what you can, especially at first. You will be so proud of yourself. And you will notice the difference. Will Harlow is excellent folks. This video is tops. Thank you so much for producing these for us older than fifty.

I do the first 3 exercises regularly. I am slowly doing the last two because I have a sore right shoulder. Easing into shoulder exercises is better with less weight. Thank you for your advice. I enjoy lifting weights and I’ve been doing it for 24 years. I’m 70.

@oldnatty61 6 месяцев назад

The shoulder press hits the shoulder, consequently you'd be better off doing some type of chest press instead of the lateral raise. Also, be sure to do shoulder pre-hab work.

@VinodDasMathew 6 месяцев назад

Thank you very much, Will, you have given a superb demo as well as a wonderful explanation of each of the exercises using dumbbells only for persons above 50years. I do most of these very exercises during my home work-out sessions. However, watching you is still a great inspiration for my next home work-out session and thereafter! Thanks again!

Great video. I cannot overly stress the great results this has provided me for my chronic low back pain. I have a L5/S1 bulge with worsening constant pain that persisted for over a year. I tried everything, weight loss, rest, yoga, PT, and nothing worked. It wasn’t until I added regular functional strength training w dumbbells doing these exact exercises that the pain gradually subsided and in a couple of months was completely gone. I now feel great and religiously follow a daily yoga+functional strength routine which has allowed me to even return to playing tennis regularly!

@antonbanulski1262 6 месяцев назад

Love the simplicity of your lesson….and the fact you discuss a suggested weight range in kilos for each exercise! Yay!

@lorriewatson7423 6 месяцев назад

I've had hip replacement surgery on both sides. My biggest hurdle in recovery has been problems with my hamstrings being "too tight"; they twist my upper legs at the point where the implant inserts into the femur, causing extreme pain and instability. I went to PT for 6 months, did remedial exercises to address this and they did help a lot. I will try these to see if I can increase the strength and flexibility of this muscle group, and improve my stability and reduce that twisting and extreme pain that seems to come only at night now. Thank you!

@tomd5178 6 месяцев назад

Been doing these for about 18 months. I'm 78 and they're quite helpful. I usually use kettlebell for goblet squats and deadlift. I also usually stand when doing lateral raises and shoulder press. Do you see any issues with that? Thanks

@sharonjuniorchess 19 дней назад

Was introduced to some exercises in the gym for seniors and noticed after doing some lateral raises for a few weeks that I was accumulating some extra tissue on my shoulders it turned out that it was muscle growth. Lol This stuff really works.

@georgemohr7532 6 месяцев назад

A good guide. However, for those of us who work out in our homes and do not have the space to store dumbbells between exercises, exercising with bands is a more practical option. How about a video on using elastic bands?

@drevo50 6 месяцев назад

Great exercises, fortunately I do them all already! Will increase my reps of the lateral raises, though.

@rajusethi8631 6 месяцев назад

Nice and useful like always . However it would be of great help if you could add a list of conditions for which a particular exercise could aggravate the condition. Because most of the above 50 people have one or the other condition . Although you do add many times that if you feel pain doing a particular exercise, avoid it . Still adding a list of conditions could be more helpful . Thanks

My husband has sciatica. Can he do strength training exercises like these?He is 61 years. And what should be the weight of the dumbbells normally for over 50 years of age?

@mikemorgan8646 2 месяца назад

I employ continuous tension by not letting my my muscles relax at the midpoint of an exercise, and i have 50% stenosis in my lumbar, a herniated disc at L5, a herniated disc in my neck also. which precludes me from doing anything causing my spinal vertebrae to have overhead direct compression. I also have arthritis in my right knee that causes me to not put pressure on my knee joint at a right angle.

@johnmassey2980 6 месяцев назад

I've been doing sumo squats as well as goblet squats, but no deadlifts. I might try swapping those in place of the sumo squats for a while as a variation to see what happens. I also do skull crushers for triceps and curls for biceps - they both work really well seated in a chair - unless of course you do what I did the other day when doing skull crushers and actually clonked myself on the head with the dumbbell - no serious damage done, but that is something you obviously want to be really careful not to do. Duh.

@michaelwitt3975 6 месяцев назад

Great stuff, thanks. I'm 60 and have been told that squats are not ideal for someone my age (I have no knee issues). Agree? Thanks again!

@ianmarshall170 3 месяца назад

As I’ve got older found dumbbells to be better than a barbell especially for flexibility but I have found kettlebells to be even better & form over heavy weight & quantity cheers.

@MrJBMORALES1950 6 месяцев назад

I think the majority of people seniors in America are not up to date with the kilo conversion. So help us by saying both kilos and pounds.

@michaeldell3929 6 месяцев назад

Trouble is that the youngsters in the UK don't know what a pound is anymore.. I'm old school & convert everything from Kilo' back in to pounds.. Also with the temperature, most people talk in centigrade, I have to convert it in to Fahrenheit 😂 I grew up with it 🤷🏻‍♂️

@traceynorcross5666 4 месяца назад

A good demo but I would never weight train in bare feet, I wear toe capped trainers as when placing weights on the floor sometimes I nip my toes and if goblet squatting 30 kg, if I drop the weight I’d easily brake a foot.
