    I believe I would be almost dead by now without these exercises. I have serious health issues, and it's extremely difficult NOT to sit around. Your channel keeps me going.

    Thank you Will for addressing people over the age of 50. Your exercises are very user friendly, easy and you explain the steps very well. My challenge is being consistent about doing the exercises. Our age group really need these exercises to keep us going and improve the quality of our lives. Take care.

  • Came for the accent, stayed for the health! Great job on this channel. I found your book very much worth the read!
  • @stephenkeye2678
    Thanks for talking about real people! I'm 68 play tennis 3 days per week. Stretch!
  • @macareuxmoine
    Wow, you’re so right on these three! I am 50 and fitter than most (running, yoga, some strength training and very healthy eating) - but these are exactly the areas I already have had issues with. I am mich better when I work on all of these three regularly. Thank you so much! Great validation of my experience! PS: tried all your three exercises now. They are all very good but the shoulder move is spectacular! Very grateful to add that to my toolbox!
  • @Jairosxm
    Great job Will! I love the way you narrate and patiently explain every step. I can see that you love what you do! I have been feeling better mobility overall after following your exercise steps for over 50 people. Good job! thank you!
  • @YogaladyToronto
    Another great video. I’m a new fan of all of your videos. Thank you!
  • @philhall7570
    I am 68 years old and have been struggling with some hit pain over the last few years and after doing the first 2 stretches just a couple of times( I guess especially the second stretch), My hip pain has virtually been eliminated! Thank you so much! I have never really been big on stretching, But all that is starting to change!
  • I enjoy your videos quite helpful. I like the way you show different angles it makes a big difference 👍
  • @benmendoza7325
