I spent over 30 years working in Assisted Living Facilities and Adult Day Care and have seen the differences in people who first need care in the 90's versus those who first need care in their 70s. I knew you were giving sound advice. So here I am at 67 learning a new way to work out. LOVE IT.

Mr. Schmitz,

Just wanted to let you know that this routine, the Senior Strong Program, is just what I need. I am pretty new to resistance bands. I learned about them on a YouTube video from “Bob and Brad”. Once I had the bands I wanted a visual workout to learn to use the bands correctly and a program that evolves over a period of time rather than me trying to figure out a workout routine. Back to YouTube where I found a video that you did on working out after 50. I spent over 30 years working in Assisted Living Facilities and Adult Day Care and have seen the differences in people who first need care in the 90’s versus those who first need care in their 70s. I knew you were giving sound advice. So here I am at 67 learning a new way to work out. LOVE IT. No gym membership (thus no guilt for not going) or no exercise DVD instructor repeating the same words over and over. I can work out when I want and at a speed that works for me. I love the video of each exercise (on Week 2 the bicep curl doesn’t load). I am repeating each week before moving on to the next workout week. This week I will repeat week 2. On my morning walks I have noticed that my posture is straighter. AND…… AND I did 65 squats in my last workout session! Once I finish the Senior Strong Program I will be back to find the next program to continue on and make it interesting.

Thank you,

YOU ARE AN ATHLETE

I don’t care how old or young you are.

If you move your body daily and keep activity levels high, maybe you play rec basketball or beer league softball… you’re an athlete and you should be training like one!
