Leg Exercises For Seniors

Join me (Mike - Physiotherapist) for this lower body exercise video which includes both double-leg and single-leg exercises to get your legs stronger.

It's important to include single-leg exercises to strengthen up both legs-equally, with only double leg exercises you could be using one side more than the other.

In this video we cover:

1. Intro

2. Double-Leg Exercises

3. Single-Leg Exercises

Standing Hip Exercises For Seniors | Beginner Hip Exercises

Increase mobility & strength - beginner Hip exercises for seniors

Hey everyone, join me (Mike - Physiotherapist) for these standing hip exercises for seniors.

In this exercise video, we work the hips.

The hips are an important area of the body to keep strong and moving well!

Today's hips exercises are all standing ones. You may have found in the past, or today, that with certain single-leg standing exercises, for example, hip abductions, or hip extensions (like we do in today's video) or the balance exercises, the opposite side seems to get a workout.

Maybe even more so than the leg that is moving!

This is completely normal! When we do single leg work, the leg that is stationary is now working overtime to keep you stable. You're working your hip stabilisers.

Once you get stronger, after staying consistent with the exercises, you'll notice this muscle fatigue you feel goes away.
