As usual, wonderful stretch session from my two favorite ladies. I did yoga for years, then studied in Canada at an ashram in a lovely spot. I ran a Yoga Club at the high school where I taught for over ten years, getting teens to turn off their phones for an hour and a half. Quite a feat! I taught for forty-three years, then retired due to many changes in administration and changes in my heart condition. After having a hip replaced, I lost much of my flexibility and backed away from yoga, preferring instead to concentrate on finally being able to walk again for long distances. Long story short, Iko and April are helping me to get my groove back. Thank you so much, Iko and April, for helping me and so many of us out here. You are great hearts and gentle with all of us. Much gratitude.
Thank you! Good to see you! Your past experiences with Yoga will still serve you well no matter how many years go by! It's like riding a bike, one never forgets how to do so! Happy you enjoy the workouts and they are helping you to get "back in the groove!" But we have to say anyone that can get teens to turn off their phones for an hour and a half is up to any of life's challenges! 👏 You can do it! Keep moving with us! See you soon! 🧡

What a sweet, delightful Yoga session! The 3 novel moves (triangle, wide open v legs, modified warrior) were a lovely surprise. Your last position was also a part of your first chair Yoga routine. I practiced this one yesterday and today after I did my exercises for the day. I was very tired today, but after doing this one I felt rejuvenated. You should add more to your chair Yoga repertoire, April. I believe many will be turning to them for the still calmness they deliver. Aiko, you looked like a seasoned chair Yoga practitioner. Thank you, April...Anastasia

Thank you from the Philippines ❤been doing most of the exercises since the beginning of the pandemic and they have helped me not only physically but also with my mental health. May I request for you to do exercises for frozen shoulders?😊
Hi there! First, we are so sorry for the long delay in replying. For some reason, we did not receive your message when it was posted and are only seeing it now. We are so happy and honored that our workouts have helped you physically and mentally since the beginning of the pandemic. Great job on keeping active all this time! We recommend seeing your doctor and/or physical therapist to determine the cause of your frozen shoulders and the best remedies for them. With that said, we can create a gentle shoulder workout to help strengthen the muscles around the shoulder joint and increase flexibility around it. Thank you for the suggestion. On a personal note, I had frozen shoulder and went through physical therapy for 6 months and it worked for me -- the most important thing was to do the gentle exercises everyday to slowly increase the range of motion. One simple exercise I did everyday was to stand facing a wall, place the fingertips of one hand on the wall, and then slowly crawl my fingers up the wall to the point where I felt tension. Over time, I was able to crawl my fingers up the entire wall, which meant the range of motion in my shoulder joint increased. Wishing you good health and strength! Thank you so much for spending time with us in the beautiful Philippines! ❤️
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! 👏 Chair yoga is perfect for gentle stretching of your muscles and your body enjoys the calmness and relaxation it brings too! Plus, it helps to keep your muscles flexible and strong! YAY! Keep it going! You are doing great! See you soon! ❤️

Hello there April, Aiko and of course Mochi, It's so good to be able to take your shoes off and relax at least for a 10-minute Chair Yoga routine. I completed about 35 minutes earlier this morning with the 55+ age group of ladies, as were late starting (we waited on others) and stopped early (lunch and field trip planned). So, imagine my amazement that I was able to do this session as well, as I feel like I have completed my 45 minutes today anyway. April, thanks so much for the video of Aiko completing her 1-mile Rock Walk and walking to the Hot Dog stand named in her honor. The hotdog looked delicious and it was so well deserved in Aiko’s successful accomplishments over the last three years. Thanks again for the chair yoga video along with Aiko’s obtained success over the last three years. April, keep on with the positive videos and loving your precious mom and Mochi every day. Until I see you again, Angela
Thank you for your kind words! Good to see you! You are definitely a Yoga-ite! 45min total of stretching and meditating is terrific! Nice work! Your mind and body know what to do and are in sync with the movements! YAY! 👏 Mom says Hi and thanks for your sweet cheers! The first bite of the "healthy" 🌭was delish! She and Mochi 😺look forward to seeing you at our next workout! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! 🧡

Thank you for another great workout to improve flexibility and strength. A question for Aiko: were you quite active before you and April started this channel during the lockdown? Or did you pretty much start as a beginner?
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the workout! Mom says Hi and only since she started doing the yes2next workouts has she gotten the exercise "bug" and feels stronger and more active! Living with a personal trainer helps too but consistent exercising has increased her stamina and strength. She also sleeps better after working out too! All in all, yes2next.com has been a big hit with her and she is happy to get others to get off the couch and move too! 🧡

Thank you SO much for doing the chair modifications! I have long awaited these as I had tried to use chair with some of my favorite workouts and just could not keep up with the pace, in spite of them saying "this IS your workout, go at your own pace....they would be done and I would still be 10 minutes behind = quite the turnoff. I pretty much returned to outdoor walking as my form of exercise. Have just recently started back to adding weights back into my workouts. I found quickly that had to start back at the beginning with those.....age can humiliate quickly if not careful. I tend to pyramid - start with the heavier 5# and pyramid back down to 3# and than water bottles to help ease some of the soreness. Taking water breaks during the sessions also helps. Blessings to the both of you for sharing with us
Thank you! Happy you enjoy the chair workouts! Your body receives the same good health benefits as standing! Nice work! 👏 Walking is always good for your heart and muscles and using weights adds resistance to your muscles making them stronger too! Use the proper weights to avoid injury and give your muscles a rest a day after to reduce soreness! You are doing your body good! Keep up the good work and keep moving with us! ❤️
Thank you! Nice to see you! Happy you enjoyed it! Chair yoga gives your body the same good ahhhhhh feeling and it's also calming and stress reducing and just makes the muscles feel good too! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! 🧡
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it and nice to know it was a great start to your day! YAY! 👏 Mochi 😺says Hi and yup, he thought Yoga was a good way to include his stretches but his attention span was not working too well! 😉 Keep stretching and moving with us! See you soon! 🧡
Thank you! Good to see you! Happy you liked the workout, and it helped! Chair yoga is a great way to stretch your muscles and relax the body! It's an ahhhhh feeling that calms your body and mind! Keep it going! You are doing your body good! See you soon! ❤️
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed it! Chair Yoga helps your muscles and your body to feel soooo good and it keeps your muscles strong too! 👏 Nice work! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️

Hi Rose! You are a young 72 year old! We applaud you for making a commitment to build muscle and get stronger. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. The strength training should challenge your entire body -- allow at least 1 day of rest between sessions for a particular muscle group. Since you're just starting out with resistance training, ease into it and determine your fitness level. Here are a few suggestions: Here is a video on how to select the right weight/resistance: bit.ly/3NPnDYq Here is a video on how to breathe (includes how to breathe during strength training): bit.ly/3PTkEi4 Now determine your fitness level for strength training: Try any of our 5 minute workouts that focus on upper body, lower body, and core: bit.ly/3sWJyD3 Do the workouts with or without weights. If these are challenging with or without weights, stay with them until they feel easy when you use weights. Then move on to longer strength workouts such as this 20 minute full body strength session: bit.ly/3N2LBSg [Here is a link to our playlist of Strength Workouts: bit.ly/3ogXF3G] Continue to further challenge yourself by adding heavier weights or doing a longer workout. We have a variety of workouts of various lengths. As you get stronger, you can mix and max workouts to keep things interesting and keep your muscles challenged. We hope this is helpful. Let us know if you have any questions. We're honored to be by your side to help you build muscle! 🏋️♀️💪❤️
in general i am not practising any yoga exercises, as i am not that mobile in my joints. But this unit was doable for me and did me very good. Will repeat this unit from time to time. thanks a lot for this.
Thank you! Glad you found the workout doable and are thinking of repeating the workout! 👏 Yoga is good for keeping your muscles strong and flexible as well as helping to reduce stress. That's always a good thing! Hope you find it relaxing too! Keep moving with us! See you soon! 🧡
Thank you but before you start, please check with your doctor to be sure the workouts are okay for your to do! Admire your spirit to get moving but your safety and well-being are always first priority! Look forward to seeing you when all is okay! ❤️
Thank you! Glad you liked it! Chair yoga stretches always makes the muscles feel sooooo good and the mind and body relaxed and chilling! Nice work! 👏 Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
When I do the triangle pose, my left knee will hurt. How could I modify this? I have a bad knee. I love your videos and they really have helped my arthritis. Thank you.❤❤
Hi there! We're so happy our videos are helping you! Since your left knee hurts in this position, try keeping it bent and moving it more in front of you rather that straight out to the side. Bringing your arm overhead will still give you a nice side stretch on your right side.Keep moving and stretching! ❤️
Dear April I have just done this routine with you and I did not stop yawning all of a sudden and tears rolling down my face. So strange for this to happen when stretching . Could you explain why it happens. I love stretching. Do you tell me which links you do it and if you don’t have exercises on it also using elastic bands could you do some. I love exercising with you. Fernanda
Hello Fernanda, I am so happy and honored you enjoy exercising with my mom and me. It brings us great joy to help you stay active and get stronger. Here are links to our playlists on: Stretching: bit.ly/3onZUT1; and Resistance band workouts: bit.ly/3G1TW4E Crying during stretching is normal, according to this report in Women's Health: "One scientific review, from the University of Australia, explains that bodywork, like yoga, stretching, and massage, activates the central nervous system, which in turn creates involuntary movements and actions-like crying." Here is a link to the full story: tinyurl.com/4jf328hx Thank you so much for spending time with us! Keep moving and see you soon! ❤️
Hi there! Since the spring of this year, we've done our best to add calorie counts to the descriptions of most of our workouts, especially the cardio and strength workouts (we appreciate your patience and understanding for the missing ones!) For this workout, below are the estimated calorie burns for: 🔥 A 120 lb (54.4 kg) person: 10 calories 🔥 A 200 lb (90.7 kg) person: 26 calories Please note that these estimates are rough calculations and don't take into account individual variations, such as fitness level, and other factors that can affect calorie burn. Additionally, these estimates include the calories burned during the exercise itself and do not account for the calories burned at rest or through other activities throughout the day.❤️
Thank you for asking! Not sure what workout in bed you are referring too but here are links to exercises done in bed! Hope one of them is what you were looking for! Keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️ th-cam.com/video/nL8aQ-0kQss/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/Bl5wSPJNvTk/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/Y4xQVjwpyM8/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/_7uAgks9m90/w-d-xo.html

Hello there April, Aiko and of course Mochi,
It's so good to be able to take your shoes off and relax at least for a 10-minute Chair Yoga routine. I completed about 35 minutes earlier this morning with the 55+ age group of ladies, as were late starting (we waited on others) and stopped early (lunch and field trip planned). So, imagine my amazement that I was able to do this session as well, as I feel like I have completed my 45 minutes today anyway.
April, thanks so much for the video of Aiko completing her 1-mile Rock Walk and walking to the Hot Dog stand named in her honor. The hotdog looked delicious and it was so well deserved in Aiko’s successful accomplishments over the last three years.
Thanks again for the chair yoga video along with Aiko’s obtained success over the last three years. April, keep on with the positive videos and loving your precious mom and Mochi every day.
Until I see you again,
Angela

Thank you for another great workout to improve flexibility and strength. A question for Aiko: were you quite active before you and April started this channel during the lockdown? Or did you pretty much start as a beginner?
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the workout! Mom says Hi and only since she started doing the yes2next workouts has she gotten the exercise "bug" and feels stronger and more active! Living with a personal trainer helps too but consistent exercising has increased her stamina and strength. She also sleeps better after working out too! All in all, yes2next.com has been a big hit with her and she is happy to get others to get off the couch and move too! 🧡
@@yes2next That proves it’s never too late to start exercising!
This is also good for me in Denmark,much greatings

Thank you SO much for doing the chair modifications! I have long awaited these as I had tried to use chair with some of my favorite workouts and just could not keep up with the pace, in spite of them saying "this IS your workout, go at your own pace....they would be done and I would still be 10 minutes behind = quite the turnoff. I pretty much returned to outdoor walking as my form of exercise. Have just recently started back to adding weights back into my workouts. I found quickly that had to start back at the beginning with those.....age can humiliate quickly if not careful. I tend to pyramid - start with the heavier 5# and pyramid back down to 3# and than water bottles to help ease some of the soreness. Taking water breaks during the sessions also helps. Blessings to the both of you for sharing with us
Thank you! Happy you enjoy the chair workouts! Your body receives the same good health benefits as standing! Nice work! 👏 Walking is always good for your heart and muscles and using weights adds resistance to your muscles making them stronger too! Use the proper weights to avoid injury and give your muscles a rest a day after to reduce soreness! You are doing your body good! Keep up the good work and keep moving with us! ❤️
Thank you for this wonderful 10 minute yoga practice 🙏
Thank you! Nice to see you! Happy you enjoyed it!
Chair yoga gives your body the same good ahhhhhh feeling and it's also calming and stress reducing and just makes the muscles feel good too! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! 🧡
Relaxing and great start for the day. Mochi was looking for his own chair to participate 😆👍❤
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it and nice to know it was a great start to your day! YAY! 👏 Mochi 😺says Hi and yup, he thought Yoga was a good way to include his stretches but his attention span was not working too well! 😉 Keep stretching and moving with us! See you soon! 🧡

Which of your workouts would you recommend for a72 year old woman with good health but new to resistance training. Thank you. Love your videos. Rose
Hi Rose! You are a young 72 year old! We applaud you for making a commitment to build muscle and get stronger. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. The strength training should challenge your entire body -- allow at least 1 day of rest between sessions for a particular muscle group. Since you're just starting out with resistance training, ease into it and determine your fitness level. Here are a few suggestions: Here is a video on how to select the right weight/resistance: bit.ly/3NPnDYq Here is a video on how to breathe (includes how to breathe during strength training): bit.ly/3PTkEi4 Now determine your fitness level for strength training: Try any of our 5 minute workouts that focus on upper body, lower body, and core: bit.ly/3sWJyD3 Do the workouts with or without weights. If these are challenging with or without weights, stay with them until they feel easy when you use weights. Then move on to longer strength workouts such as this 20 minute full body strength session: bit.ly/3N2LBSg [Here is a link to our playlist of Strength Workouts: bit.ly/3ogXF3G]
Continue to further challenge yourself by adding heavier weights or doing a longer workout. We have a variety of workouts of various lengths. As you get stronger, you can mix and max workouts to keep things interesting and keep your muscles challenged. We hope this is helpful. Let us know if you have any questions. We're honored to be by your side to help you build muscle! 🏋️♀️💪❤️

Thank you! Glad you found the workout doable and are thinking of repeating the workout! 👏 Yoga is good for keeping your muscles strong and flexible as well as helping to reduce stress. That's always a good thing! Hope you find it relaxing too! Keep moving with us! See you soon! 🧡

very pleasant relaxing chair yoga. you are both darling
Thank you! Glad you liked it! Chair yoga stretches always makes the muscles feel sooooo good and the mind and body relaxed and chilling! Nice work! 👏 Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Thank you again for the workout, now your Mom can go to the hot dog stand😅. Love you both❤
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Yup, Mom says Hi and is heading for the 🌭! She is ready for it! 🧡
When I do the triangle pose, my left knee will hurt. How could I modify this? I have a bad knee.
I love your videos and they really have helped my arthritis. Thank you.❤❤
Hi there! We're so happy our videos are helping you! Since your left knee hurts in this position, try keeping it bent and moving it more in front of you rather that straight out to the side. Bringing your arm overhead will still give you a nice side stretch on your right side.Keep moving and stretching! ❤️
@@yes2next Thank you so much!!!
You are welcome! Keep moving and stretching with us! ❤️
Dear April I have just done this routine with you and I did not stop yawning all of a sudden and tears rolling down my face. So strange for this to happen when stretching . Could you explain why it happens.
I love stretching. Do you tell me which links you do it and if you don’t have exercises on it also using elastic bands could you do some. I love exercising with you. Fernanda
Hello Fernanda, I am so happy and honored you enjoy exercising with my mom and me. It brings us great joy to help you stay active and get stronger. Here are links to our playlists on: Stretching: bit.ly/3onZUT1; and Resistance band workouts: bit.ly/3G1TW4E
Crying during stretching is normal, according to this report in Women's Health: "One scientific review, from the University of Australia, explains that bodywork, like yoga, stretching, and massage, activates the central nervous system, which in turn creates involuntary movements and actions-like crying." Here is a link to the full story: tinyurl.com/4jf328hx
Thank you so much for spending time with us! Keep moving and see you soon! ❤️
Thank you so much April. It is very kind of you to reply to my quetions.
Do those shoes come in narrow?
Thank you! As far as we know, yes, but it also may depend on the availability of sizes, style, etc too! 🧡
Hi guys,
How can i find out how many calories
I burn for each workout?
Hi there! Since the spring of this year, we've done our best to add calorie counts to the descriptions of most of our workouts, especially the cardio and strength workouts (we appreciate your patience and understanding for the missing ones!) For this workout, below are the estimated calorie burns for:
🔥 A 120 lb (54.4 kg) person: 10 calories
🔥 A 200 lb (90.7 kg) person: 26 calories
Please note that these estimates are rough calculations and don't take into account individual variations, such as fitness level, and other factors that can affect calorie burn. Additionally, these estimates include the calories burned during the exercise itself and do not account for the calories burned at rest or through other activities throughout the day.❤️
U did a show in bed: Unfortunately I missed ost of that segment😢 could you tell me where I could see it again. Thank youMarilyn 12:16
