"I started the MPR exercises with some skepticism because I have exercised for 2 or 3 hours every day for decades and felt I was in good shape.  

I guessed that I would try the sessions a few times but then go back to my regular fitness routine of power walking, lifting weights, yoga, and dance training.  I had tried other fitness programs off and on but did not seem able to stick to them.  

However, I noticed increases in arm and core strength within a few weeks after starting the MPR program.   My results motivated me to continue, and after 3 complete rounds of the exercise sessions, I am convinced that this program has greatly improved my strength and balance.  

I tend to want to power through an exercise program, but Michael’s reminders to breathe and be slow throughout the videos were exactly what I needed.  

I have now incorporated MPR training into my routine and can always find the 13 minutes it takes to fit it in."

ANITA - 72 years old female, with rheumatoid arthritis, scoliosis, and joint pain.

“I have a BMI of 27, with my limited range of motion in one shoulder due to a surgery many years ago. I had open heart surgery last year to repair a mitral valve.

This has affected my tolerance for more extreme workout intensity due to medicines I have to take. A good friend referred me to MPR and the med exercise program at mprmedexercise.com.  This provides workouts using resistance bands.

I agreed to try it and am very glad that I did. I prefer to work out at home and like to keep consistent when I travel. It’s been so easy to take the bands on trips and, of course, the training sessions are on my cell phone.

I do two of his workout sessions 3 or 4 days per week, go on long walks regularly, and ride the exercise bike or use the treadmill 2 or 3 days per week. It’s easy to scale his workouts to fit my abilities and desired intensity.

Michael’s experience and educational background is important to me. His advice and feedback have always been helpful and motivating.”

"NO EXCUSES for not taking MPR Medical Exercises.  The lessons are short so there is no "I don't have time" excuse.  They are online so no problem with weather or what time you wish to exercise. 

Mike focuses on safety, so you are covered there.  And you couldn't find a more enthusiastic coach than Mike.

 Following along with him makes it easy to keep the right form and get the most from each exercise.  And I cannot say enough about the quality of the bands provided.  

These are nothing like the wimpy ones I've used before.  You can count on them so you can focus on you.  I thoroughly enjoy working with Mike and think you will too."

Barrie – 77-year-old female.

"I’m a 70+ year young woman who is currently in overall good health, with a few surgeries and minor orthopedic injuries in the past. My fitness level has been average, having been an on and off member of gyms.

I have enjoyed and been consistent with speed walking in my local park, along with using the park’s stationary fitness equipment. I’ve also recently started playing pickleball and will be back to the gym in the winter months.

The MPR program is a great complement to these activities and appeals to me on many levels. First, it’s very user friendly, can be done anywhere in 15-minute movement workouts using the easily transportable bands and is accessed on a mobile platform. 

I also really appreciate the MPR holistic approach focused on not only reaching and maintaining fitness goals of balance, strength and flexibility – all great for pickleball moves and to reduce the risk of injury – but also incorporates other aspects of hydration, nutrition, sleep and cognitive ability.  

Michael’s credentials as a Medical Exercise Specialist and his focus on the senior population is definitely a unique offer and his enthusiasm is very motivating. I’m definitely noticing positive changes and looking forward to experiencing continued improvements.."

I am delighted to praise and recommend The MPR Program. I consider the MPR sessions to be my progressive regimen that I can continue indefinitely. I have dealt with osteoarthritis for more than 30 years along with knee injuries from my tennis playing days.

While I must adjust to other activities such as yoga and walking depending on the severity of my symptoms, I can always perform the MPR program and progress despite my arthritis.

Michael does an excellent job clearly demonstrating each movement and vocalizing proper posture continuously throughout the session that I feel he is in the room with me.

When I recently went to physical therapy for my knee, I could tell that my work with MPR exercises resulted in a significant increase in my strength. It is also so convenient to bring my bands with me while traveling and exercising using my phone. I look forward to seeing how much I continue to improve! 

Barbara – 74, Osteoarthritis / COPD / Coronary Heart Disease

The (approximately) 15 minute MPR exercise sessions were a good length of time, allowing me to exercise almost every day, in contrast to longer programs that fall by the wayside when time is lacking.

They were an ideal afternoon pick-me-up that I was able to do in my office. The MPR Program fills the time with everything you should have: a combination of boosting your heart rate, resistance training, balance exercises and stretching.

Michael's prompts were also extremely helpful to make sure I was using the right technique. He ‘caught’ me doing things the wrong way so often that I realize working with a professional trainer is critically important to gaining the most benefit.

The program was also easily adaptable to my fitness level; I just moved up a band as I gained strength.
