I’m a Registered Nurse in the states. We use sit to stand testing to determine if an individual is at risk for falling. It is a determiner of strength and balance which are important to prevent falls. I’m 62 and while I’m active, I’m going to put reminders to preform daily sit to stand exercises, 3x5 daily as you said, in my 2024 calendar. So important!

So important!! I do this exercise every day for 12 reps. I can now walk down my stairs confidently and normally. Also, I do Achilles and calf stretches. Helped so much. I didn’t realize all the muscles used to walk down the stairs need to be strong. Another exercise that really helped with my knees is practicing getting up off the floor. Very important for anyone with mobility issues. I have known people that have had to spend the night on their floor because they couldn’t get up. I’m only 67 😊 but I want to be sure I’m as strong as possible for the future. Yoga is a miracle worker for me also!

After the pandemic closed everything, lost my job and there I sat and sat and sat. Lots of tv, beer, cooking and eating. I didn't want to turn into a fat alcoholic, so I applied for job as a pizza delivery driver. That was almost 2 yrs ago. I get in and out of my car over 60 times a day on average. I only work a 5 hr shift and it has been wonderful! I am 73 yrs old and I am so grateful my body is doing great. The usual work pains, I'll wear a copper back brace for support if I need, I sleep in copper gloves, I wear copper socks and good sneakers and do all I can to support my wellbeing. I bake my own bread, make my own mayonnaise and eat homemade kimchee with most meals! Mahalo and Aloha from Maui!

I wish that more seniors realized the benefit of strength training. It has been eight years since I got under a barbell, I'm presently 72 years old. Included in my routine are squats and trap bar dead lifts. If you train these diligently, getting up from a chair, is not a problem. The retention of your muscle mass is crucial for healthy aging, both metabolically and for functionality.

So both of them lying on the floor on top of each other. The wife managed to phone dr’s office. Dr said phone the fire department to go and get them off the floor. My question is it possible to stay in a well enough shape beyond the age of 70 or 80 to get off of the floor?

Well….good vid but SADLY incomplete. Trust me, I’m 73 and know these issues well from intimate personal experience which some are lacking. Don’t mean to be negative here, just my observation. Vid might be better if you had someone my age demonstrate and moderator explain. Perhaps a side demo, side view and front view. Again, good vid, EXCEPT when it comes accelerating the upper body forward as often used to get up off the throne. Often toilets are often lower than chairs necessitating the use of this momentum. But the risk is adding too much momentum and having to ‘catch yourself’ ie stop the forward motion of the upper body. It is SO easy to stumble and fall from this motion which adds a forward vector to the upper body mass. Seniors are often slow to “catch” themselves; to recover from a movement in 2 planes. Much more difficult than a single plane of motion ie propelling the body straight up. Because this movement is so necessary in everyday life and carries extra risk, it needs SPECIAL attention. Another essential movement (sadly) not dealt with is getting in and out of a car. 2 nicer but common vehicles for examples would be a 2003 Mercedes SL 500 (2 methods) and a 2010 Mercedes E350 (front and rear seat) both having issues because the seating is low and there are obstructions. And another possible example: a pickup truck (mine a 2002 GMC 2500 4x4) which sits about 2-3 inches higher than ideal for me. Other vehicles too, but 3 would about cover it: convertible, sedan pickup truck. Thx for your work. Sorry to be critical but I hope you fine my comment pertinent and accurate. And I would love to see another vid addressing these issues even if the vid turns out to be longer than usual. Thx and Happy Almost New Year!

I'm 68 and was fit and healthy until 2 years ago apart from some early warnings of knee joint deterioration. However I developed rheumatic polymialgia and was on crutches before it was diagnosed in March 2022. When I was put on high dose immunosuppresants and the inflammation started to go down I realised that my leg muscles had wasted severely and this exaccerbated the knee issues. The calf muscles in particular were just hanging skin and I lost 10kg. At one point I couldn't stand up from a chair at all even with my hands helping. It's taken 21 months to build them back up with much use of an exercise bike, but I feel that some of the smaller surrounding muscles, particularly behind the knee, are still weak. In addition to this exercise, which I'm only now starting to be able to do, are there any others that would help improve those areas. (An MRI scan suggests that I may need knee replacement at some point but that won't be considered till I get off the immunosuppressants.) Thanks for any suggestions and for your useful channel.

Fact is that our ham-strings and buttocks are weak from sitting all the time. Actually the 'hams' are the posterior 'hom' 3 ligaments, attached to the gluts and knees. additional glute exercises are also needed. ('Hom' is an anglo-saxon word, different from all the other Latin-based muscle names.)

As long as this is an exercise on a well designed chair - good, but rather a danger when one tries and slides to the edge on the wrong sort of chair, which may either tip forward or skid backwards on polished floors, and down you go!
