All my older patients who did core work when they were younger seem to fair much better with their recoveries. Start now and don't stop! Great video, great tips.

@HT-Physio 3 месяца назад

Absolutely - preventative work starts as early as possible!

@christiannacolbert5603 2 месяца назад

They fare much better? When you say younger, would 50s count (vs 80s)? 50s are still fairly young. I assume the sooner one starts, the better, of course.

@DrOTGuy 2 месяца назад

@christiannacolbert5603 yes, sooner the better- and being consistent helps a lot. When I say "younger" I'm thinking of my patients that are currently between 65-95 and started exercise and core work before 40. However, I've had a few really fit 80 year Olds that barely starting exercising in their late 50's or early 60's. Never too late!

@marc9644 3 месяца назад

I find all three movements challenging in the easy positions, no pain , just a challenge for my muscles. It's where I'm at and what I need to work with. Thank you.

@patriciamcbride2150 5 месяцев назад

Hi Will, I was watching your video about 3 exercises to stretch the thoracic part of the spine, the calf muscles, and then ways to practice getting up off the floor. Then I lost the video and couldn't put a comment there, so I'm putting it here. Wanted to say how much I appreciate what you are doing for seniors. It's really needed, and if we started working towards these things, it can make a huge difference. Younger people should start, too. I have been active during my life, but a few years ago, I started doing a sedentary job and then started getting pretty bad pain in my spine. Checked with the doctor and found out it was mild wear and tear arthritis. She gave me those standard suggestions about what to do, such as mild stretching, losing weight around the mid section, and other things that you mentioned. Also, she said take Tylenol if it gets too painful. I thought, nope, not getting hooked on taking any medication, to start with. I had hoped she could refer me to a physiotherapist to help me start some exercises and also to help me improve my posture. No such luck, but I started doing my own stretches and exercises and eating foods that are anti-inflammatory, and my back has improved, but I have to keep working at it. So thank you again. I'm going to try some things that you have suggested. Being older doesn't have to mean a great loss in the joy of being able to move and to do it with grace. God bless

@mikesawyer1336 8 месяцев назад

This is brilliant. Love the way you instructed this - patiently and clearly. A lot of inexperienced patients have the hardest time isolating their abdominals - I like this approach.

@HT-Physio 6 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for your comment I really appreciate it!

@m.dejonge5055 23 дня назад

This is the kind of exercises I need. Thank you!!! I used to be very active, but a combo of long covid, followed by a back injury an next treatment for colon cancer left me with a weak core. The result is that I tire very fast and even walking causes a lot of pain. It upsets me no end!

@pollybish2988 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for the great advice. Your explanations are so helpful and easy to follow. I am going to do these exercises daily starting today!!!

@dhammratna83 Месяц назад

Very well explained & demonstrated 👍

@danabuch324 6 месяцев назад

I have found that just sitting down and standing up works most of the leg and stomach muscles. Make sure the surface you sit on is at a height that positions your legs level horizontally. Keep your back straight and your arms still at your sides. Chairs, logs, tree rounds, big rocks, pretty much anything works. Also works as a cardio exercise once you can do more reps. Any comments about any possible negatives?

@HT-Physio 3 месяца назад

Absolutely - safety is key when exercising!

@CitizenKate 4 месяца назад

I just attempted a new workout that called for a full-form side plank. My first time attempting any kind of planking exercise and... yeah - out of the question! Couldn't hold that position for more than a second or two and it was excruciating. So I was hoping to find some way to try to build up to it more gradually instead of just skipping that part. Your "lite" version of the side plank is perfect. When the day comes that I can perform a full-form side plank, I'll know I've achieved something!

@edwardbrady9753 7 дней назад

@ommaigod 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for that progression on the side plank. I never thought of that. And the progressions on the bug movements too.

Keep it simple: 12 Reps of ABS, followed by 12 Reps of SABS (12 LEFT, 12 RIGHT). REPEAT THE CYCLE 3 TIMES and pause if you need to. Works all of the muscles side and stomach.
