Hi Jeff! Love the approach you teach concerning exercise and muscle balance.
I’m currently 15 months post op hip replacement, posterior approach. Due to previous surgery and the trauma caused from removing a tumor from the femur (the surgeries were 33 years apart. What do you know about planes of motion and restrictive movements that Ive been told it’ll just always be that way. For instance bringing my knee up to my chest but only with knee pointed out, no crossing one knee over the other as to cross my affected leg over the good one to cross my legs, or allowing the affected leg to cross over the center plain as if my knee on a side lying position towards the floor with affected leg over good leg and ankles or toes turned in. Is that a hardware issue or an issue I can eventually overcome by training the muscles and working with the new joint in respects of tendon and ligament exercises

no, 55, and many days I cannot get my socks on due to back pain. To be fair there has been no point in my life I could do this test, what with the tightness of my glutes. I have never been able to sit cross legged, or in a chair rest my ankle over a knee. I stopped bjj as I cannot get my legs to factor in on any part of my defence. For years I thought it was my inner groin (and tried the butterfly stretch, the dog stretch, the butterdog) but now think it is my glutes. Even modified the pigeon pose is beyond me. I have never, ever, been flexible despite working on it and trying yoga. Basically I have a piece of shit body.

Couldn't touch my toes at 10 years old. Carry a log 4 to 6 feet from the woods to the tractor yup. Later in the military 67 ran in leather boots and fatigues. And Airborne training was a hoot. I was the most stiffest guy in the military. At 76 still work out with weights and rubber bands. I can give RFK a run for his money, especially when he does the monkey foosball push-ups. He will get me on the chin yp bar doing the inversion move with his trainer. Stiff as a board was my nick name and Shxt Bird by the DI.

Jim, have you ever done any weight lifting videos catered to those of us, who have physically demanding jobs For example, I drive and unload trucks with a two-wheel cart, up and down a ramp, with cart loads up to 400 lbs. I work 4 days a week and try to lift on 2 of my 3 daye off, just trying to give my body time to recover, and overall I feel good and strong. But I was wondering if you have some workout ideas for those of us who aren't at a desk all day. Thanks!

I couldn't pass that old man test a couple of years ago, just bending to put a sock was hard, i was 40. I cut the crap out of my food, started to move more again, even if the work and life style prevented me from doing it for a very long time, i lost a lot of weight without even trying, and now i can do it effortlesly, even jumping on my standing foot.
Just don't stop moving folks and avoid trash ultra processed food, the rest will come naturally: D

Anyone failing the 'old man test' under the age of 75 (at some point, yes, age matters, but it sure as heck should not be at 50, I do not know why that is some people's magical number) has really, really screwed up their self-maintenance for virtually their entire life; nothing in this video should be hard if one has taken care of themselves. Thanks for highlighting it, Jeff and crew, and thank you for offering corrective measures.

The first three of these movements were difficult. The 4th and 5th, horse stance with raised arms overhead, and leg raise with the back with tilted foot were surprisingly not hard. But the first three I am going to have to work on. Good video. I'll do these every morning prior to working out. At 73, things go to hell in a handbasket very quickly if I don't work out.

For single rdl, I can do it on one side but no way on the other. I’ve gone round and round trying to figure out why. PTs always say it’s the glute strength, but WHY are glutes so weak on one side Also, I have LOTS of lower leg and FOOT dysfunction on that side. Bunion, foot instability, calf weakness, knee caving in. So which is the chicken and which is the egg

Yes i put my shoes on like that daily. I am very mind-full of maintaining balance and being confident of having good balance. I want be able to ski, windsurf, paddle board, go boating, golf and trampoline as long as i can. Strength, moblity, good diet and luck is the only answer. I am in my 7th decade and enjoying it.

Won't you please consider adding some kind of graphic at the beginning or end of the video that shows the position of each pose. Such a graphic makes it so much easier to add these to my routine at the gym. It's a pain to scroll through the entire video each time to practice these. Thank you. Andrew Chapin

Legendary tips for us ageing 'athletes'. Thanks to your tips I'm still surfing hard at 60 years of age. I still do similar resistance training as when I was 30 yrs ago, but with your advice I have dropped some questionable techniques and added your technical improvements. I can't thank you enough Jeff.

Thanks Jeff. this kind of physical therapy advice is what a lot of people need, even before the bodybuilding so they grow right and don't become a cramped mess that can hardly sleep. I've been doing half of these already and feeling good in my 40s, but excited to try the rest.

Started working out at 53 after being so out of shape that i hurt my back from emptying the dish washer.
That 4th exercise is exactly what I started to do to strenghen my back. Lifting your arms and legs while lying on the floor is so basic but it really helped me.

64 yr old. I always put my socks and shoes on standing one legged. I find it easier to hold a slight bend on the leg I’m standing on, keep my back straight and lift my other leg up to my hands. I also tend to focus on something not moving instead of looking at my hands.

Age 75. Was doing this on my own because the Locker room floor was very ugly. Got a lot of snide comments. Now I feel great about it. As to the other stretches, give myself everything from a D to a B minus, need to improve. Thank you for all your teaching.

Jeff your left ankle looks rather wobbly. I've suffered repeated ankle sprangs playing sports and now have a bit of chronic inflamation in my ankle causing instability - and leaving it prone to more sprangs. any advice

I’ve just bought myself a multi gym and have been directed to your site. I struggle so badly with sciatica and lower back pain so I’m definitely going to be trying these out and will update you in the next week

Definitely going to start doing these. How many days a week would be the minimum to ward off the loss of these movements as we get older. I'm 46 now. I put this video in my bookmarks so I can always refer to it.
