The total should be at least 150 minutes per week. Frequency: You should exercise at least five days a week. Signs: You are at a moderate intensity when your breathing and heart rate are noticeably increased. You can still carry on a full conversation, but.
When older adults cannot do 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity a week (for example, 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week) because of chronic conditions, they should be as physically active as their abilities and conditions allow. Stay active: It can make life better.Have you given up on exercise?
A lot of older people do just one out of four people between the ages of 65 and 74 exercises regularly.The good news is that muscle mass can increase at any age in response to exercise. In an important study of weight lifting and older adults conducted with 100 male and female residents of a nursing home in Boston (age range: 72 to 98 years of age; average age 87), subjects lifted weights with their legs three times a week for 10 weeks.
At the end of the study, there was an increase in thigh.Fifty-year-olds should strive to be as active as possible and exercise most days of the week. An active lifestyle can improve your chances of remaining less dependent on outside help as you age.
Physical activity and aerobic exercise reduce the risk of heart disease and Type 2.So how much exercise do you really need? Most of the studies show that 5 minutes of continuous movement repeated during the day is about the bare minimum to have any effect, and fitness experts.Aerobic activity. Get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week, or a combination of moderate and vigorous activity.
The guidelines suggest that you spread out this exercise during the course of a week. Greater amounts of exercise will provide even greater health benefit.Don’t worry. You don’t have to do strength training like a madman to get the benefits. Carol suggests that you should aim for 2 times per week. “Strengthen each muscle group, alternating from upper to lower body.
Make sure to work the front, back, and side of the body so that you do not create imbalances.It’s quite complex and involves immediate recovery after exercise and slower recovery over the next 24 to 72 hours. Research on age-related muscle recovery has produced inconsistent results. Some studies have found that in older (“masters”) athletes, muscles recover more slowly than in their younger counterparts, while other studies have.
Get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity each week. Or you could do a combination of the two. Try to spread your physical activity out over several days of the week. That’s better than trying to do it all in one or two days.20 somethings should aim to exercise for two to three hours per week, a comfortable 8 reps at least, and no more than 12.
According to Pamela Peeke, assistant professor of Medicine at the University of Maryland, four or more hours of exercising per week can reduce a woman’s risk of breast cancer by 60 per cent.You take more than 2,000 strides per mile, and with each one, you land with a force equivalent to three to four times your body’s weight. Interestingly, this doesn’t apply to experienced runners, whose bodies have adapted to the impact.
But if you’ve never run, age 65 may not be the time to start.Now, scientists are finding even greater benefits for guys in their golden years (over the age of 65). One study found long-term endurance training can make your muscles more efficient, and new.Fitness is important at every age. For seniors, regular exercise can improve or perhaps prolong life.
An exercise program for someone over 70 should focus on cardiovascular conditioning, strength training, improving flexibility, and improving balance.To gain health benefits, you need to do muscle-strengthening activities to the point where it’s hard for you to do another repetition without help. A repetition is one complete movement of an activity, like lifting a weight or doing a sit-up. Try to do 8-12 repetitions per activity, which counts as 1 set.
Try to do at least 1 set of muscle.

Good tips. I will be 60 in a few months and lost over 50lbs 5 years ago on KETO, daily intermittent fasting, and full body weight training 3 times a week. I am very fit and look fine now, but would like to get a little more definition on my arms. I will apply these points.
I will be running my first marathon at 65. Consistency is key and so is eating enough protein among other things
I am 79 and since I watched this video I have lost 20lbs of fat and gained 20kgs of pure muscle. Imagine what will happen if I start also lifting weights. And this is all natural. No prescription eyeglasses or artificial hearing devices. On top of that my IQ has increased 100 units. I am at about 105 now. You have changed my life.
Brian, this is really really good. I have watched others try to help me (I am 67) and it didn’t work. You are very straightforward and keep it simple (K.I.S.S.) I like this and will commit to 28 days and see how it goes. Thanks again. Rick
This is mistitled, should have beginner’s exercise… What about people who have been exercising for a long time, how should they modify their exercise routine?
It allways depence about for how many years you have been doing this. I am 63, and In many exersiceses I have never been stronger! And, been writing trainingnotes since 1983. Still do! So for me, this Is boring…..
i am 60 and after watching your video, i got motivation to get started. Thanks a lot
Hi Skip what’s your take on reps and weight. I hear different opinions on this. More reps and less weight or heavier weight and less reps. I’m 9 yrs older than you are. All I know is rest is very important. Noticed one body part a week works good.
It has been said before but most people who watch these videos and similar teaching aids are already getting some exercise.
So for all of those who feel it’s all too much, start here. Walk, walk, walk even if it’s for only 5 mins. Find a marker, for example a nearby shop, road, house that is about 5/10 mins away including return journey. Do this every day and just keep doing it. Obviously the further you walk the better but 5 mins could be to the bottom of the garden and back a few times. It’s dead easy, you won’t feel fatigued or an embarrassing example of an unfit person, you don’t need ‘special ‘ clothes and you can do it in the rain or snow. Take the dog, the cat, your music or whatever but, and I mean but, smile. All the way, smile. A few days and you will feel better, even if you were good to start with. Then, when ready steadily increase the distance you walk.
Go for it and smile.
Great tips. But I would have liked to have seen some photos of fit 60+ year olds or video clips. Not that I doubt it’s possible. Stallone is in his 70’s and he looks better than most in their 20’s. Schwarzengger. Sure they’ve been working out for decades…Stallone trained by Franco Columbo…but it just says it’s still doable actually into our 70’s barring any health conditions stopping us.
I think thats the main stumbling block for most older people wanting to get fit. They let their bodies go early on. Maybe after their 20’s. Work. Family. Life.
I was never athletic. Spent my 30’s to mid-40’s with no real exercise. Maybe just dog walking and errands. Didn’t start lifting weights till my late 40’s. Gradually ramping up the weight. And I did again start doing the “big 3 compound exercises” early last year. Back squats, deadlifts and incline bench press. As my main 3. Along with other accessory work. Made a HUGE difference. I feel a lot stronger since. And put on more mass than before I consistently did the 3.
Will continue till my body tells me I can’t. Which will come one day I suppose (for us all). Hoping I can continue into my 70’s. And I had no health conditions to stop me. Thank God.
I hae a close buddy who’s had bak problems since the early 2000’s. He claims he doesn’t know why. But I hae a good idea. As he practiced Wing Chun (Chinese Kung Fu style) sine he was 14. The postion they’re in makes theim arch their backs Slouch. And curve in. They stand square. My guess. Since then he’s put on a bit of weight too. Adds to his aches I’m sure. Needing to carrying around more weight on the bad back..bad die Im sure.
Sorry I’m a bit confused, when you were doing the squats were breathing in on the way down. When pulling on the weights we’re you breathing out?
Thanks
The issue for most men over 60 is that they are FAT. Nutrition is 85% of losing the weight, which should be the primary goal BEFORE taking on cardio and significant weight training. If you are 300 lbs don’t get talked into beating yourself up via a Biggest Loser type diet/plan. KETO and intermittent fasting is your best course. See the Dr Berg Channel, Dr Fung (lots of counterfeits), and Keto Kamp.
If you are severely overweight, take yourself to the Snake Diet Channel. Hard core fasting with save your live. The best video on the subject NSFW https://youtu.be/klFUAAk9dYM
Pushups on kitchen counter as many as u can do, daily walking or short walks several times day.
Testosterone is key. Without it you’re screwed. 100mg twice a week. Foods will increase your natural test but only slightly.
I love this. As I’ve got older (64 soon) I need to slow it down a little as I’ve got advanced osteoarthritis. My right side is not what it was, especially my right knee. The pain is unbearable. Thank you soooooo much for this steady exercise regime. The morning stretches are also brilliant for my back.
It’s so so nice that you’re not demanding money unlike ‘most’ of the nasty trainers. Thank you so much. ��
My main challenge now is managing my pain. I’ve been lifting for over 40 years (I wrestled for 7 years before that) and I was a heavy lifter at that. I probably overtrained most of that time too so I have arthritis and tendinitis. I eat very well (keto-carnivore mostly) and I’m very lean but now I rely on micro-workouts of 20 to 30 minutes. It took me awhile to get my mind around that kind of workout. If you’re part of the demographic that has trained at a high level for decades it’s more about letting go and going easier. I save my long workouts for hiking or biking.
Good advice and well delivered. at 73 do all those things plus 60 miles a week road bike for cardio gotta keep moving legs and lungs
Great info, only suggestion is to add snippets of video of examples of things you are talking about for form.
I’m 59 lost 35 lbs on keto and two days ago squatted 400lbs. by watching YouTube videos on correct technique.
Thanx for helping us old timers.
One last thing, I recommend 3 min rest in between sets. Gives us more time to rest old bones and joints so we can do the next set with strength not fatigue. Leas chance of injury which will sideline our work outs. Plus more muscle growth with 3 min rests.
I just subscribed. Found your presentations very clear and helpful. Thank you for sharing.:)
I’m 61 and a masters swimmer. I see so many people at pool who I can help with stroke etc. But the women are snarky and men are scared of me. some chat nicely, but they act like I’m just different.i am very discouraged about helping folks.i have healed my autonomic nervous system thru simple exercise and diet. it seems like people wear their problems like a badge of specialness……any suggestions. I’m working on vs content for senior swimmer.i am actually one of fastest backstroke in world for my age. skill and discipline are key. But few care.
Thanks very much for your useful instructions for a healthy life.
A couple of your exercises have been prescribed to be by a physical therapist for muscle strengthening after surgery on my artificial hip, IT band lengthening and a trochanteric bursectomy. I have several other exercises also specifically for this hip. However, there has never been any mention to me by my surgeon or therapist regarding the lower back muscles which support the movement of the hip and I also have problems with the snapping of tendons or muscles in the groin area with one of my exercises, raising my leg straight up, with the knee bent, towards the ceiling to a 90 degree angle with the body. Based on this snapping and a couple other symptoms I’ve read about, this sounds like Hip Impingement to me. Also, my pelvic bone is tilted with the left side higher than the right which seems to me like the left leg is longer than the right. I know the X-ray sure looks strange When I walk, I have pain in the lower back and left buttock an my left knee tends to snap backwards in sort of a locked position. My therapy sessions are ended and I am on strictly at home therapy now. Any input?
Instead of doing all these exercises, isn’t there some pill I can take instead?��
Great routine and explanation, im 60 now and former dancer now full time caregiver and my health and fitness is in the trash, i need to get back in shape so ill be using your info,thank you!
Is Custokebon Secrets effective to lost lots of weight? We’ve learn a lot of good stuff about Custokebon Secrets (just search it on google).
These are clear, simple, easy to follow. No reason or excuse not to! Do you have any other videos besides this one?
7 to 9 hours of sleep a night! Haha. That would be awesome. Lucky if I get 5 hours straight.
At your age, what would you know about over 60s…. come back in 20 years time
This a good question.. I been struggling with this one myself..
Thank you the exercises are easy to do. Just getting started.
Again thank you. Cc
PLEASE GUIDE ME I AM 57 YEAR OLD MAN I AM WALKING DAILY 30 MINUTES IS IT ENOUGH
Hello Mr Lacour, fan of yours for many years. Wanted to know what 5 day workout one body part do you suggest first day and the fifth. Thank you GBY
Okay, good, but when I did bodybuilding, and other gym classes when I was younger, I was told to not squat without being able to see my front feet this is so the knees never stick out beyond the feet. Otherwise, you can injure knees I was told.
This video has great information, but I’m not sure about the best diet plan which i should work with, only because I have never taken any. Anybody tried using the Custokebon Secrets? I have noticed many folks talk about unbelivable things about Custokebon Secrets.
Thank you! I have always loved being still. At 67, I feel groggy when I lie or sit. I had to force myself to do these 5 mins and it made a difference, more focused, less anxiety.
I envy you for still lifting the bigger weights. On my 60 th birthday I lifted since 1970. 64 210 to 65 285 well I was doing 315 I worked up for this and 1 one boom like it should 2 nd one. It was like a floor jack being let down So now at 66 I do 6 sets of 10 with like 160 I have a he. Bar which is the only to do squats with free weights god I hate dead lifts never again
Can you post a list of the Curcuit. What if I don’t have any equipment?? What are the alternatives?
Solid advice As a 60 year old man, been weight training for 40 plus years. Can’t stop now.
6 weeks back i got keyhole spinal surgery as i had sever pain in my leg due to sciatica.
After surgery my pain had gone but the numbness in my leg continued.can u guide me.i am 75 yrs old.thanks
Thank you for the video!! I am 64 and trying to walk daily and lift my hand weights and now I”ll have some exercises for my age! I want to have the best balance I can as I age!!
61 year old. Doing at least 100 pushups a day as well iron mace exercises. Can tell a big difference in my arms.
This just in: 3’X36” FOAM ROLLERS! They offer great STANDING support. They are very light EZ to carry around and place anywhere you need to, and they STAY pretty much in place because of their size! You can use them for standing support and stand without them while they remain there for support when needed unlike a cane, more freedom and utility than a walker (and looks hella more KOOL!). I can’t stand very well AT ALL and these are great support in an exercise area not taking up space, light and easy to move around.
I am excited about this because I just stumbled upon this idea YESTERDAY! I bought 2 18” (cheapest!) rollers and found they give even better support when used together.
What I found them to be GREAT for is sitting on your knees easy and done many times in my youth, I can’t even get anywhere near being able to attain decent posture any much more upright than the child’s pose.
I used a couple of 18” rollers for the support I needed and was AMAZED I was finally able to sit on my knees with my back upright and straight!
I was a serious Aikidoka and probably overdid “walking” on my knees and doing self-defense from that seated (kneeling!) position.
With age and arthritis I couldn’t do ANYTHING on my knees beyond crawling!
3” length foam rollers worked even better. Different lengths (1.5’, 2’, 3’!)can be used together for an even better aid to standing and kneeling support in addition to the other uses I have seen.
Basically, I just discovered FOAM ROLLERS WORK GREAT FOR STANDING AND KNEELING SUPPORT!!
U heard it here first!
I’ve been smoking for about 46 years and drinking quite heavily for a couple of decades and getting worried about health and stuff..any hope for me???
This clip could be cut back to 1/3 of the time. Stil did not get an answer! On the positive side i like your energy and presentation style.
Thank you so much Ed… Really helpful… Much appreciated… xx
More older people like me has a tire around their mid section. I am on a Whole Food Plaint base diet. Can’t get to a gym because of work and now stuck at home because of this virus. What exercises can you recommend? Thanks!
I have narrowing of the spinal and neck issues I can’t get down on the floor and if I did I wouldn’t be able to get up off the floor lol so this doesn’t help me any
What do you if suddenly your legs almost fall out from under you?
61 here and still at it after 40 years. I still wear the same size jeans I did at 21. Bodyfat at around 10%. Can still rattle off 8-10 muscle ups in a row. My body feels as strong now as it did 30 years ago. It’s never too late to start. But once you start, don’t stop!
I have three words that are the most important things you can do when you’re a senior and you’re trying to remain or get in shape
Diet diet diet
I do:10 minutes of skipping rope,then 10 min of weights finally,another 10,kickboxing on the bag.
3-4 times a week.
I’m 61.
Temporary short lived fix. Defective leg veins are the culprit, and ankle oedema is the result. I have this all year round, my inherited varicose veins are too bad now for wearing shorts or knee length dresses. Surgery is the best option but even then they do come back, the blood just bulges down some other place on your leg! Here you can only get them operated on privately, and that’s not possible in my case.
Very good dear but wait till you get over 60 then try these type of exercises yourself good luck with that lol
How about stretches for seniors? My hubby has become scary inflexible!
I am 62, woman I like exercise with lifts but I have lost my strength so I think this could help me. I will try it and see.
YOU GIVE AN INTELLIGENT OVERVIEW. YOU HELP CREATE A POSITIVE MENTAL REALISTIC ATTITUDE. IN OTHER WORDS. ACHIEVABLE GOALS.
WAY TOO MUCH INFORMATION….EVERYWHERE! Who is right? Why so much info when all we need is a simple diet plan and an exercise plan that works….WITHOUT out the hype and long-winded sales pitches. I am 71. I have always been skinny, with long arms and legs and NO MUSCLE! I hit the gym 6 days a week, doing 20 minutes of cardio and targeting 2 muscle groups per visit (shoulders & arms, chest and back, abs and legs) but I am not getting results that matter! WTH! I eat healthy, sleep well, take supplements, don’t eat crap or drink much, stay hydrated, and I am strong and active…..I just can’t build muscle or lose the residual fat (moobs, love handles, belly)! FRUSTRATING with all the hype and BS on the web!????
Can I do the floor exercises on the bed b coz scared can’t get up from floor. Superb workout. Thanks
IM 54…. I POWERLIFT FIVE DAYS A WEEK AND TAKE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY OFF. I EAT ABOUT EVERY FOUR HOURS, HEALTHY CHOICE FROZEN DINNERS. MUSSEL MILK MORNING AND NIGHT WITH MULTIVITAMIN.
THE PROBLEM IS IF I KEEP A LAYER OF FAT AROUND MY STOMACH, I BUILD MUSCLE. IF I CAN SEE MY ABBS MY BODY WILL EAT MY MUSCLES AT NIGHT.
I MAXED OUT ALOT OF WEIGHT STATIONS AT PLANET FITNESS. ALSO SQUAT AND DEADLIFT AROUND 315. LEGPRESS AROUND 600 X10. I WAS THINKING ABOUT SWITCHING TO A BODYBUILDING ROUTINE TO BUILD MUSCLE MASS.
WHAT IS YOUR SUGGESTION FOR ME TO BUILD MUSCLE MASS?
As a senior you’re assumiing that you can get up from the floor once you get down::
Apparently my generation sucks. Im 62, lift, box, minimum 100 pushuos a day 5 days a week.
So glad this guy is getting Old Folks up and moving. I do take MSM every day and swear by it. Hope you all stick to this program and get bad to the bone! Gods peace.
Try differing workout intervals and adjusted as needed for your particular body.
When I was 28, I gained 15 pounds by lifting weights. At 70 I tried it again. Not a single pound. True, I don’t sleep as well. Are there other things? I am 6 foot 2.
What s the best way to get rid of your love handle s and build your lower abs at home
I’m combine walking and bodyweight exercises and this has improved my back pain… I had to stop running and heal. Walking has brought me back to good health and bodyweight exercises are the icing on the cake. I can do them at any time during my walk and I’m strengthening my core and protecting my back.
I feel your sincerity. You really care about this topic. Awesome brother ����
Hey man, so you can get into killer shape at 60+ and I’ll share how in this video! Comment below and let me know what you think.
With so much advancement in the health field, it will be commonplace, that those in their late thirties, and those in their forties, fifties, sixties, seventies, eighties, etc., are more health conscious, which makes working out, with good principles, their lifestyle for the huge benefits.
I am 66 been training since I was a teenager never warmed up with anything but light weights and never had a INJURY I now train with my home muti gym dumbells and cables not as heavy these days but still in great shape for my age.
when one can’t get down on the floor to do the floor excercise how could it be done in an upright position? thanks
What’s the science on complex carbs on non-workout days / non-fibrous carbs on workout days? What’s that all about?
I’m 75, rather than going to Gym I jog barefoot 8 miles at the beach and do 100 X 3 push-ups, squad etc 3 hrs 6 days a week. I also cook my food, haven’t eaten a
pizza or burger for nearly 10 years and hardly use Red meat. Recently developed lower back pain and Sciatica rather than rushing for painkillers continued exercise, which fixed the problem. Move your body and don’t even think of doctor or medication.
I am 57 years old. I found this vid because I cannot sleep while working out and taking small amounts of creatine every morning. Also taking small amounts of powdered with BCAA protein in morning. Work out early as well. I found one post on a chat page where a guy claimed his creatine was also keeping him awake.
I THINK my insomnia happens when I start working out again after a lay-off and am not used to it. But as I get into better shape the insomnia seems to go away. But I am not working out that hard, not sore, not working out late in day. Also, even though I am only sleeping 34 hours a night, I really don’t feel bad??? Just looking for answers, not looking to bash any products. Several things give me insomnia, sugar, too many carbs late in the day…spikes your blood sugar. I even have to take my blood pressure med. Amlodipine early in the day or it will keep me awake so maybe creatine does this to some people and not others. Not diabetic either, started cutting carbs but not drastically and brought my blood sugar back into the normal range.
Damn I’m over 60 and is in better shape than most 20 something. Do easy 10 reps on 315 squats multiple times. Reps on bench press 225 easy. Why do you talk with me like I’m a 90year old?
Excellent video. Clear Instructions and simple to more complex options provided. Thanks very much.
M 71 and been working out to maintain 70 kg for the past decade but kept going up and down.
Thanks for your great video.
Tried to enter email to get started but couldn’t load my email…can you help?
I do have a question. First I need to give you some background. I am 62. I have had damage to my lower back, The L5-S1 level was fused and I suffer from chronic pain. L4-L5 and L3-L4 are not good,but I am trying to not have them fused if I can avoid it. I need to know which exercises I can do. Is there a way to modify squats to support my lower back? I will definitely need to start with trunk strengthening exercises, prior to squats, military press and other exercises which put stress on the lower back area.
I am about 55 lbs overweight and have started doing pool exercises for aerobic and heart health, as physical therapy. I am at the end of my physical therapy sessions, but I ran and worked out until I injured my back and didn’t have the DVT and heart issues a sedentary lifestyle has given me. I was in killer shape in my 40’s. It’s time I was working to get there again.
Let me know what you think and what you would recommend, even if it is a good book on the subject I can read.
I have a doubt sir can a patient fitted with a pacemaker do exercises on prone lying for low back pain? The patient is a female aged 65.
I want to tone my arms up but I have a shoulder problem. What exercises are good to do?
What a great video! You are very clear in your instruction and go slow enough for us to go by. Also you are very respectful and you seem kind. Thank you.
Please suggest quantum of carbohydrates intake in percentage for workout days and non workout days.
I am 74 years old.I have been weight training off and on through my later years. I am fit except i have a weak left shoulder from an accident when i came back from Nam. What I want to know is how do I determine what weight should I use for light weight TriCon training. to start the training?
Can I do these exercises in bed as I cannot get down on the floor
I’m 142 year old and I exercise 2 times a week. Before I would exercise 5-6 days, and now I’m way too old for that. 2 times more then enough. Can’t lift weights anymore, but I can do couple of pushups and stomach exercises. And a lot of walking.
I’m coming out of a tough year. Almost 70, diabetic, lost half a foot. Had vascular surgery, stroked. 2 years from a he as r attack. 5’8″ 190#.
I’ve started with the nutrition and the right level exercises. The most important thing I think you said is, get moving. Thanks for the encouragement.
Great video. Glad you started out talking about squats. Our gluten and quads or extremely important to maintain and keep strong. So many start to lose mobility in later years, no need for that to happen.
Great video thank you. Age 65. Cyclist and swimmer. Need to add a bit more weight training.
Good NATURAL stuff. Raising T-levels? I got regular PSA tests from my doctor. Glad I did.
Good I’m 60 and it seems like I’m doing the right thing…good video bro

Motivating video! I have lost 35 pounds by working out, cutting sugar out of my diet, limiting carbs to a minimum, and only eating within a 6 hour window. The rest of my diet is natural food only and making sure I get all the essentials. 60 is the new 40 guys, and women love it!

I have had both knees replaced and can’t apply pressure on my knees to do some of your exercises
Hi Brian, I workout at my gym and like your workout program. What dumbbell weight should I use? It would be helpful if you suggested a beginning and or advanced weight on your video.
Thanks! Good explanations of each exercise and circuit training.
Just stated working with a trainer again at 55. My body is snapping back into its previous shape except the belly fat. Belly fat is brutal in middle age.
My trainer: Some healthy nuts and some occasional chocolate is ok.
Me: eats peanut m&ms from the vending machine
Trainer: be sure you sprinkle just a little salt on you food your body needs it.
Me: eats an entire sea salted dark chocolate bar before bed.
Online calculator says: your waist should be 32”
Me: kilometers?
Nevertheless I’m down from 221 to 213 in 5 weeks. With a goal of 187 (and hoping to look like this guy in the video.
What kind of device can you give me I’m 63 years old and I’m practicing martial art when I fix my flexibility does not there I don’t know why can you give me some advice please thank you
Love how you explain why it is important. I have started a channel for women over 50/60 covering health, nutrition and mindset. I will be putting this video in my playlist for my viewers. Thank you
Im 62 year old & I wanted to get back in shape, gain more muscle & get rid of my stubborn belly…
Though I’m not 60, but those 5 exercises were worth watching. I have been working on some exercises which are similar, but yours need to be included in my daily routine thanks
I am 64. I am in killer shape. Yeah I go to the gym as usual but more importantly, my blood chemistry and organ function read PERFECT on all pages of my blood work. I define PERFECT as reading NORMAL on all measures. I dont have high BP or plaque in my arteries. Simply there is nothing wrong with me. I am completely normal in that I am not special. I got this way by my diet. I do not eat any sugars or eat foods with added sugars. I eat lots of animals fats and other saturated fats. Lots of organic veg. I stay away from grains as my studies seem to reveal most are GMO which is Frankenfood to me. I would not eat normal grains because for me they are too hypoglycemic. At 6 feet I am 190 with lots of muscle while I admit I am not as heavily muscled as I was up into my 50’s and earlier when I was 225. I have lifted weights for about 50 years now. While I stay in the gym so when my day comes I’ll look pretty in the box, I only do three days per week and two body parts per workout. Nothing too strenuous although I could if I cared to. The fact is, I dont. And finally i take super dense nutrition shakes and vitamin and mineral packs that are loaded with all kinds of things, my blood work shows I am not lacking any nutrients. Surely everyone knows the food out there at its best quality is NOT the food of our grandparents. Hence the densely packed supplements I take give me what I need.
Thank you. I feel encouraged to go to the gym. I am over 60 and was feeling sluggish.
No carbs…..carnivore,paleolytic, keto, fat a little veggies recommended in keto. When fat adapted do fasting.
im 63 still workout 3+times a week im in good shape my tip is chill out your not in a race your not going win the olympia take your time big weights=big injures cruise along watch your diet most of all enjoy what your doing good luck
Hi can do all exercises except the one you cross your legs and lean forward any suggestions for me to be able to do it eventually thanks
The exercise that increases my health has been yard work like cutting grass, pruning/cutting back shrubs, etc. NEED MORE VIDs for over 60!!
Thank you. At 70 in quarantine these seem doable. Just did some grapevine down hall as well as squats!
I’m 64 and been weight training cardio etc since I was 19 or 20. Appreciate this. I’ve been doing hasfit routines plus cardio for about a year. I love it. I’m gonna mix it up with boomer fitness. Many of your moves are shown in hasfit also. Switch it up. Kero muscles surprised. Keep things interesting too.
A 60 year old telling other 60 year olds what to do, the old man should know when your his age they dont listen.
Started binge watching your videos after subscribing. Thanks for the energy, enthusiam, and motivation. Would like to set a goal to figure out what works for this aging body to keep muscles from atrophying, prevent muscle loss due to aging, and increase testosterone. Love the positivity! Keep it up and thank you.
Thought this for seniors…I cannot get on floor…well, I could,but I would not get back up without help. My knees are shot. I need exercise that can be done from a chair or standing.
Hey, enjoyed your video. I am 57 and had my bottom three disc fused. Should I just stop working out?
Full body, compound exercises, 3 times a week. Start with the bar, to heavy, start with dumbells.
67!!!! Started working at Home Depot in deliveries. That is loading up orders for contractors. 80 lb bags of concrete, 20′ 2×6’s, 2×8’s, up to 2×12’s, Cabinets and really a house. 16,000 to 20,000 steps a day. I still lift 2 days a week, stretch every day. I have been a trainer, I have hired trainers, and I subscribed to your channel. Oh I have 3 herniated disc in my Lumbar back area. My right leg is numb and I limp. I WON’T ALWAYS! Getting better every day. Peace!
Common sense exercises! Thank you! We older people wouldn’t mind if you did these exercises shirtless!��
He laid down on the floor and he lost me. I am searching for back muscles strengthening exercises because getting up from the floor just kills me.
This is a good, simple routine to do. I’m going to incorporate it into my weekly exercise. Just turned 60, exercise 5x per week. You gotta keep moving no matter your age. 20 or 60 or whatever.
WOW, very, very good video, very good advice, not condescending at all, older people nowadays have more than likely done some training in their time and need to be treated with the respect afforded their younger compatriots. Well done!
.
First thing, go to the doctor.
Then he will give you a prescription.
That prescription will make you an animal in the gym.
.
Awesome info,well explained!i now feel pumped to start,im 61 with a 12 mnth old baby,i need to get fit again,THANK YOU!!!
hi, i have some criticisms that i will talk about. however, i also generally like what you are saying!!
1) raising metabolism this has to be one of the most incorrect but widely accepted statements. so much so that i think 99% of the people would agree with it. and people who are out of shape can indeed have had their metabolisms slowed down. but the goal is not to increase the metabolism. for the most part, the goal is to have a slow metabolism, if you want to live a longer life. but you want a fast digestive system and a fast elimination system. and that comes from a good diet, proper sleep, and many of the other things that you talked about. or to put it more succinctly, keeping the body in balance. because the ultimate goal is to get your body to perform in the way that it wants to perform. each body has its differences.
2) killer shape i cant tell what the rest of your body looks like, but your biceps are huge for a person of your size. so i hope that you are not defining “killer shape” as some sort of idea about having muscle. testosterone and fast-twitch muscle have everything to do with how much muscle a guy can put on. (a girl, as well). so i would say that the goal for hormones is to bring that level back to the point that one’s body was made to perform at.
My Achilles’ heel is sleep. I can’t remember the last time I got 8 hrs. in. I average about 4-5 hrs. and even then constantly waking thru the night. I’m 57, have been weight training since my 20’s and have built a lot of lean muscle in that time but it’s been a constant struggle. Now I know why ��
Im 66, 6-1, 195. I have had 2 heart attacks 15 and 11 years ago. On an anticoagulant now so that took care of that. I see my cardiologist regularly. I am getting back to the gym but I do have dumbbells and a ball I use in my office daily. I also go USPSA practical pistol shooting so practice and tournaments have a lot of walking and some sprinting. Do you agree i need the “anaerobic” mentality? Low weights, high reps so i get the muscle tone and the aerobic. You are so good and i thank your for you presentations. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. Bill
I enjoy your enthusiasm. I am 61 next week and thought I was still pretty fit. NOT! Been through some crap the last 5 years. I remembered how it felt to be young! Thank you!
excellent group of exercises thank you! stopped working during pandemic age 62 and have noticed reduced muscle strength. these exercises will be great!
I am looking to improve my back muscles & balance. I can feel I need to start doing something now before it gets to be a serious issue. I signed up for the news letter as well.
Sleep is so important. It’s just nobody gets enough. I’m single, the house is quite and dark, but no matter how hard I try or want to, about 4-5 hours is all I can get. But yeah, go light, go slow, go often. It’s not how much you lift or how far you walk/run/swim, it’s that you show up and do it.
Thank you doable, practical and good for you during this pandemic when we really need it.
What kind of shape? Want to look like Clarence Bass, or you want to bulk-up? Unless you lifted weights and had a good foundation bulking up will be really hard without TRT.
With a knee replacement surgery we r told not to do squats suggest some other instead
Very nicely explain ed
Posture improvement in pl suggest some more
Ty
No carbs needed!! Red meat only!! Beef liver,eggs,salmon,electrolytes, magnesium, potassium, all citrates!! Redmans sea salt 3 tablespoons a day for me!! 59 & feel very strong & great!! Plants are poisonous!! We humans are carnivores!!!
You ppl talk to much and to long
You need to talk a litlecandcget on with the exercise
How effective is Custokebon Secrets? We have heard numerous amazing things about this popular lose weight method.
Oh my goodness! Just this morning I saw how my upper back was bending forward. Thank You! I go to a chiropractor, but I think this may be the answer!
Very good exercises. One more suggestion for everyone to take a look at Leslie Sansone she has a wonderful at home walk program. It is very simple and easy to follow I’ve been doing it for approximately 2 1/2 three months since the lockdown. I am so grateful for these people who have helped me stay healthy.
You’re not lazy you also work for a living I’m retired and so is my mate I have kept up 30 min. Yoga and house cleaning despite having a cold rest get up moving is the key!
Please can you teach knee strengthening exercises and exercises to help reduce knee pain.
Thanks in advance.
I’m a woman and I”m borrowing some of these tips. So long as they don’t make me grow facial hair and look like a man.
Great video, thanks! The link to your workout is glitchy… Here is one of my videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bp9PV3tiPgI&feature=youtu.be
I hurt my hip in 2012, went thru two rounds of physical therapy, then 6 months withs a chiropractor.. They did xrays and found no arthritis, but I’m still having difficulty and pain on moving. They called it bursitis, what can I do for myself?
When shld we do these exercises in the morning?
Before or after breakfast?
Only three times a week?
I am a woman 73 yrs old.
Any need to consult a Dr. if I shld do these exercises?
Wow,this comment section is award winner comedy,laffin so hard I can’t breathe,women don’t like lean men??? Ha ha ha
Dude i love your vids but you need to let people know at the beginning of all your vidoes that they caint expect to look like you without TRT.
Cool, I’m not quite there yet but getting close. I do it for health. All the women I know don’t like lean ripped men..
Working out was off and on my whole life. I am now 65. I do workouts of three days of weights, alternating between cable, dumbbells, barbells, and kettle bells. I also alternate types of exercises each session. I am walking 20 minutes three days a week on days I do not use weights. I am still overweight, but I can now see my belt buckle. Thank you for your advice. One thing that has helped is joining the Bentonville Recreation Center. It has a variety of machines, weights, fitness classes, indoor track.
Thank you for these! Are they safe for a 65 year old with osteoporosis?
Thanks so much. I am 63 and I gave RA i am soso happy to find excercises that are not so easy that i don’t want to be bothered to do them. These are great please do more. Thanks so much.
Like to thank you I saw your video and I’m doing walks in the morning but I know that lately I’ve been getting really lazy like I don’t want to do it anymore I like I have no energy I push myself to go do it but I will have things to do I won’t go for my walk I don’t have them both I have resistance bands I thought I don’t know how to look at those as a religion of work for me or not I heard about you saying squats I can start doing those I need a lot of help and what would be the best vitamins to take to give me the energy they need once again thank you
A friend sent your video to me, and I appreciate it. These are exercises I can do in my small space. Your instructions and demonstrations are clear. Thank you. I will look for other videos by you that focus more on the core and balance as I a less confident walker than I was just five years ago. Thanks, again.
Useless as fuck. Do you think a out of shape 60 year old knows what a squat is
Thankyou so much for these 5 exercises. When doing them with you for the first time I can already tell how they are going to help me. (81+) Sally K
You should advise the knees should NOT go over the feet in a squat.
Great exercises! But wait… this video was uploaded in 2019?
I’m 66, have lost 45 lbs in the last year (228>183) and have been gaining muscle and definition the entire way, not a newbie, have been working out in various ways for about 40 years but decided that I had to get serious as I go into my 70’s, recieved virtually no encouragement but succeeded anyway. You can do it!
Bad adwise.
Low carb keto diet plus fasting to boost testosteron is the way to go.
Avoid carbs and increase protein if training hard.
excellent. First time I have seen this. One question. I have bad knees and little cartilage can I still do these exercises without hurting my knees especially the squats? Are there any specific simple exercises that would strengthen my knees? Please advise. thanks
Good stuff. I’m 63 and run 30 miles a week but need to do more exercise in the gym.
Easy and simple exercises �� for all seniors. Thank you for sharing ��
I’m 72 and working out 4X per week…I’ve been working out for 10 years, started long ago and stopped. I’m in pretty good shape but watching your video alerted me to go over my nutrition patterns….My goal is to be in phenomenal shape not just OK for 72….I can handle most compound movements but having had two hip replacements within the last year has curtailed any meaningful squatting…The other movements no problem. Great video. Short and informative.
i am 56 years old and i have an asthma do you think i can get into shape what are the. categories to build my body into shape?
If you can’t get up and down from the floor is it OK to do it on the bed or couch?
I have been in the gym since my mid-twenties. Bodybuilding in the twenties and working with weights ever since. These are really wonderful basic multiple muscle group circuit training routines that help to build muscle quickly, create excellent cardiovascular routines and now as I am growing older, can fully appreciate how protective this is for the joints and bones. There has been a lot of evidence and conclusive studies emerging the past few years as to the benefits of shorter but more intense cardio rounds
Thanks for posting absolutely excellent advice
Do natural popular weight loss secrets like Custokebon Secrets really work and if so, how effective are they? We have noticed many amazing things about this popular weight loss methods.
Can you show an exercise for weak upper arms. With theraband or without? I’m a woman of 60 yrs
Ok. My upper back is on fire. Im doing this routine after two hours of other excercises. I can’t do the feet rotation right left left right…. I wish you did excercises the whole routine instead of tips only.
Guys. lost crazy amounts of weight does not need to be hard (I used to feel it did). I’m going to give you some tips now. Look for a popular fat loss system called Custokebon Secrets (search on google). Thanks to it I have lost tons of weight. I shouldn’t even be talking about it cause I do not really want a bunch of other guys out there running the same game but whatever. I’m just simply in a excellent mood right now so I’ll share the wealth lol.
There is no way I could get on the floor and back up again. I need exercises done in a chair to get built up enough to be able to do floor exercises.
Ok….. stretching the hamstring? The video titles says it’s lower back exercises. Hamstring is NOT lower back. Same for a few others.
That’s a workout for 80 year old ladies not 60 year old men.
Thank you for this video for low intensity exercise. My question is what to do when you only have dumbbells.
It would be better if you showed us the exercises rather than just talking.
I think a discussion of footwear may be appropriate, Hopefully, your socks have something on the bottom so they won’t slipespecially on a wood floor.
Is it better if you keep your ribcage down when doing scapular retractions?
oh yeah,,,,, I have one of those machines in the middle of my upstairs 1 bedroom living room apt:/
I like to train 3 times per week, or 2 days on, one day off, thay way I feel iam geting lots of rest
This vid is great, but some of us in our 60’s have gotten rid of all the bullshit in our diets………move on to some of us intermediate lifters…….
I guess I’ve been born with fantastic genetics. I have the body shape of a young male. I’m one of those whom defies the idea of what a 60 yr old should be Like. No major health issues of any description. I’m not as strong as I was obviously when I was younger but workout with any where between 5 15 kilos of weight for an overall workout…
I am 66 and i think i am fitter now than i have ever been since exerising in the last 3 years and i do things like nordic walking, swimming rowing machine and static bike very little of this circuit stuff to be honest i find that side of it boring but enjoy the activities i do
Sexy daddy!!! how old are you? I wish men a any age be in shape it doesn’t take much.
I love your timing, thoughtful explanations and I will start today! but I will not be wearing those slippery socks! May you grow old and in shape and pain free, Thank you!
15 mike stretch routine, 15 m core, 30m treadmill, 20m weights, 15m sauna, 10m swim (8 laps), sauna again, shower. Done. Monday and Thursday. U.S. Army, Last duty station, 18th Airborne Corp, Ft. Bragg. Super Leg, 66 years and moving forward.
Skip, I’m a new subscriber to your channel. You have a phenomenal physique. Hopefully you can help me. I’m 52 going on 53 year old man. My idea weight is about 170 lbs for a 5’8″ man. I weigh about 215 pounds now. I just want to lose my belly fat and not drop down to my ideal weight. I’ve been skinny or slim my whole life. I like my size now but I don’t want the big midsection. I would like to have a muscular frame with some definition. I don’t want to go back to being very skinny again. My question to you is are my goals healthy.
My goals are to lose hopefully lose about 20-30 pounds of belly fat and to BUILD muscle mass all over. I don’t want to build a great upper body and have chicken legs. What can I do? Anything that you can tell me would be greatly appreciated.
I’m going to start this on the 3rd of February 2020. Can I incorporate a treadmill for 30-60 minutes?
Thank for the commentary. I does help a lot.
Thank you very much. After I watched you do the excersisses I decided to do them myself. It gave me courage to try them. At 76 I think it will boast my strength & stamina.
I have a 78yr old who sufers with his knee will that sección be good for him
Use your bed to exercise. All can be done on your bed if you can’t stand or get to floor, think about it
First thing you said wrong was lean protein fat helps you not be hungry helps you go longer without eating re-read your knowledge again listen to Eric Berg
Are all these exercises suitable for a 73 yr old woman? I sufffer frm backache sometimes but no arthritis or rheumatism
Over 60?
Try this video for over 80 or 90.
As a 60 year old this is insulting.
Love it! 64 here and do all my own lawn work and just came down with sciatica after weed eating non stop for over a hour
Swim and stationary bike.
And hot tub stretching/yoga
At 62 still surfing strong.
It work for me.
You’re in great shape. How old are you? Also, are you on TRT? Just curious as I have tried pellets and shots in the past, but not on anything for the past 2 years. My total T is 754, but free T is only 92 and I want that up in the 150-200 range. My SHBG is on the high side of normal. I’ve been in the health and fitness business for nearly 3 decades, but I always keep an open mind when it comes to the human body as I believe you can never know it all. I’m thinking of increasing zinc to 90mg per day as that supposedly helps free up testosterone. Any suggestions is much appreciated. Thanks!
Can you cross left over right if you had a second revision of the let hip? This question pertains to your grapevine move.
Very dangerous to do this with socks on that specific floor. We would flunk a whole year if we did that at varsity!
I have too much arthritis in my right knee to every voluntarily get down on the floor again.
I have built up some much muscle in last 2 years! See bob & brad! More good ideas!!
Beer has nutritional value. (Hops, barley, calories). Food has zero beer value. So that means we should be pounding beers all day and don’t worry eating bad food just drink good beer!
It sounds like your view of men in their 60s is a bit patronising. Not all of us are debilitated in some way, lack fitness or flexibility.
agreat amike,i m going to do it for next 21 days
ado we have to stop breathing while holding the stretch, please clarify
I am sixty years old today. Want to stay fit and healthy. Hope to do these exercises
Everyone has all that equipment in their living room. You should have stuck with exercises between doorways and walls. I wish I could afford 20 foot walls and that piece of equipment. Did love the exercises I have access too.
Physical Therapists are the greatest. There’s this one in Utah that helped me about five years ago. When I was bed ridden. Great stretching exercises. Thank you with my whole heart.
This is wonderful so important for older adults to stay active, even during a pandemic! This article shares some additional exercise suggestions specifically for seniors: https://www.newhorizonsinhomecare.com/seniors-and-exercise/
