I am a 65 yrs old doctor. Your video helped me immensely
I always enjoy this workout. It’s one of the ones I do regularly. Thank you very much for your expertise and your patience.😀
I am 89. Find this workout very simple but highly useful. Doing almost daily for three years. Thank you for helping my fitness.
Why do this sitting down? You’re losing half the benefit. Also, using such things as bottles of water makes it impossible to use progression. Quite why, because one is older, one has to sit down to exercise beats me. I’m 68, go to the gym, squat, bench press, deadlift etc and there’s nothing remarkable about me. I just dont believe in taking things easier as I age and nor should anyone.
2024 I discovered your channel and it is amazing 💚💚new subscriber
You probably wont see this as the video is 5 yrs ago. Just wanted to thank you so much. I can only do gentle exercise at the moment due to medical issues and this video is wonderful. Watching from Sydney, Australia.
I am 66. I’ve been doing it three times a week for about a month, and I can actually see results!!! I’m going to start doing it every other day now. This is by far the best upper body workout video for seniors that I’ve found on the internet. The coach is friendly and personable.
I am 69.what exercises are beneficial.
Excellent exercises. Thank you
Fantastic, fabulous, wonderful, excellent. Thank you thank you thank you. 76years old Grandma to 6, Mother to 3 Wife if 55 years. Thank you, I need to go swimming with my youngest grandson and grand daughter. These excersises have enabled me to do just that. Thank you thank you.xx
I’m 64 and so out of shape. Everything hurts every day.
So I have decided for the next 6 months I am going to follow your workouts every other day and as of June 1st I will change to every day. No more than one hour of TV a day, excluding your video, a strict diet of good food, no pre-made or processed food, no junk food at all. I’ll let you know how I’m doing June 1st. 😃👍

I just started following you. I am a stroke survivor and have limited mobility but I found your video doable and fun. Thank you very much.
Thanks, Coach Doug. You are an excellent teacher. Great, helpful session.
I’m 74 good workout, however I did it standing. Thank you
Great weight workout and I’ll be trying some of your other workouts too 😊👌
I just started this today. I am 68 with rheumatoid arthritis and interstitial lung disease A babysit my grandchildren almost daily and I need more energy and strength. The little boys are too and still like to be carried and I struggle. We have a new baby coming in November I’m hoping this will help mewith my strength. It was easy and very enjoyable the way the instructor presented thank you so much.
I really like this, but could you post a version without the repetitive music? It drives me crazy.
I have been doing these every morning for a couple of weeks. Great for my golf.
Thank you for leading me along in this excellent little workout!
Very good, love it
Loved this!
Love upper body exercises. I’m limited with some, being a aka, but love videos amputee,10 min goes fast
I’m only 52, but after breaking my leg & having major surgery I wanted a low impact way ‘get some exercise’ during the 6 weeks post op when I am almost totally immobile and I found this was perfect. Thank you!
Love them. Thank you
Very good instructions with kindness and humor.
Many thanks!
Annoying unneeded music.
many thanks for the sharing. I did exercises as well https://youtu.be/d5F0stlROcA
I am 73 years of age, which of these exercises would be better for getting rid of man boobs?
Better off blowing a load in your neighbours wife
How many times a week do u recommend
👍👍👌👌💖💖💪💪🙏
Thank you for this work, I have arthritis in my arms and shoulders..it has really helped.
good assortment of exercises….I have a shoulder that doesn’t work well, can’t raise arm high, some pain and noise in the shoulder…hope this exercise will help. I am 93 yr old female
Has your platform moved to subscription only?
The seated upright row is not an advisable exercise to do as the shoulder is elevated and internally rotated during the movement, leaving it prone to injury. The hawkins/Kennedy test infact uses the same principle to test for shoulder impingement.
These excercises are very good for old people like me. I am 67 and have had rotator cuff surgery in both shoulders at a gap of 8 years. Now my shoulders and back of shoulder muscles are getting weak. Which ones should I do apart from these? Please Guide
This ended up being exactly what I wanted. https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 I get the flexibility of multiple dumbbells without taking up the space of a whole set. I have a very small spare room that these and a bench fit perfectly into. Like others mentioned the size of these are a little bigger/longer than traditional weights so they aren’t the perfect solution for everyone. However, if you’re looking for a flexible and space saving design for a home workout I’d recommend these.
This is a good one. Nice guy too
I am so pleased I found you, I have been unwell recently but now on the road to recovery. Your workout is just what I need, perfect!!
Wish this continuous music was not there ! Great video but with irritating music.
Muito bom!…
Bom demais das contas.
Obrigada
Inscrita.
Started with one pound now up to 4 pounds. Thank you for taking the time to share this. Happy New Year 2024
I’m an active 61, but upper body strength is non-existent. Thanks for this good natured, challenging workout. 🙂
thank you very much. happy new year.
I would think that a few warmup stretches might be in order. Not everyone is versed, like you are.
I like this workout and appreciate his taking the time to make this video, however, the counts are off for some exercises: Single arm overhead he does 6 on one side and 8/9 on the other. For diagonal shoulder raise it’s 13 on one arm and 17 on the other.
Thank you very much. This is a wonderful exercise routine.
Thank you so much I enjoy them a lot .🙏🙏🫶🏻❤️
I am a cancer survivor and thanks a ton for helping me to get back into these mild but really good workouts. 🙏🏽
