I’m grateful you both pulled through COVID! I’m 2 1/2 years post COVID & this last bout of COVID , left me with a pulmonary embolism & full-time oxygen. I’ve had a hard time getting back into exercising…you two are such a Blessing! Your post COVID video has me moving again! Thank you, so much!
Thank you! You definitely can say you have had it with Covid! Good that you are getting back to exercising. Doing so will help your heart and muscles to become stronger and in turn, help you to feel the same! 👏 Go slow and at a pace that is comfortable. No need to rush. Listen to your body and be patient! Exercising will get you feeling stronger! Keep moving with us! See you soon! 🧡
I recovered from COVID recently and my first workout was to one of your low impact exercise videos. I’m going to use this as well! I’m happy that you two had mild cases and are doing well! Thanks for the video!
Thank you! Happy you are on the mend! Using the low impact workouts was a good idea to get your body moving again! Pleased you will add this workout to get stronger too! Hope you feel stronger and better soon! Keep moving with us! 🧡
Very happy your both feeling better! Take it slow! I just wanted to say thank you for helping me get to my goal weight! It took me three.yrs between silver sneakers and your videos to get there. Never felt better in my life!
Thank you for your kind thoughts and for working out with us! Congratulations on achieving a very important health goal! YAY! 👏 Nice work! You deserve to feel good! Keep it going! You are doing your body good! Keep moving with us too! See you soon! 👏🧡
Truly thankful you both survived COVID. (I’m also a “forever masker” as another person said.). Doing my best to avoid getting it, but glad for your workouts that can help us get going again when needed.
Thank you for your kind thoughts! Happy you are doing ok! This workout can be used as a warmup too or also as a quick workout at a faster pace. The key is to keep moving whether at a slower or speedier pace! That's the way to keep your body strong! See you soon! 🧡
I rested for 10 days while recovering from a Covid infection and then picked this up today. It was perfect and helped me to keep my HR below 70% of max. But I was dewy like Aiko, and it was good to get the joints and muscles moving. It’s amazing how quickly stiffness settles in when you take a break! I stretched for a bit longer today. Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you! Glad you liked it and it helped to get you moving again! Exercising at a gentle pace is helpful to get you back on your feet! Recovering from Covid takes patience and rest too! No rushing needed! Your body will help you if you help it! 👏Hope you are feeling better and stronger soon! ❤️
Appreciate the new workout, and SO glad you both recovered well from COVID-19. Always enjoy working out with you two, and glad to see Aiko again, and in such good spirits. Stay safe and healthy!
Thank you for your sweet cheers! We are doing ok! Glad you are working out with us! Mom says Hi and thanks for your sweet support! She looks forward to working out with you soon! Keep it going and keep moving with us! 🧡
Really appreciate that you have this and all your other workout videos. Just recovering from my first bout of Covid-19. Feels good to slowly get back into exercising. 🙏🏻
Thank you! Happy you liked the workout and pleased to know it is helping you to recover from your bout with Covid! Just go at a pace that is comfortable to start! Slo Mo is good. Rest often and hydrate! Always listen to your body too! That's important! Hope you feel stronger and better soon! ❤️
I just came across this video. It is a great one to do at any time. For sure after illness and I think great for new beginners to make a gentle walking start.
Thank you! You are so right about using this workout for different situations. It's a gentle way to get the body moving whether to renew after a stretch of illness or as a good beginning way to start exercising! 👏Great thoughts for sure! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
I just discovered your videos and really love the format and encouragement for seniors. I would love to have you do a calming breathing exercise/meditation short video! Great work!! Tx
Thank you! Glad you discovered us too! Happy you enjoy the workouts! 👏 Your request is a good one and will place it on the list! In the meantime, keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! 🧡
I've been working out less regularly lately, and I'm trying to get back to daily exercise. Although I haven''t been sick, I've been a little achy, so I wanted to start out gently today. I did this workout first, followed by your most recent 10-minute walking video, and ending with the 5-minute kitchen workout. I feel great after doing this, and I'm hoping that I'll be able to find the time to keep it up during the rest of the week. Many thanks to you both for all you do!
Thank you! it's good that you listened to your body and took a break from actively exercising! You are doing it right too to get back to moving! Start with gentle workouts and increase the energy level slowly! That's the way to get your heart and muscles back in sync! Keep it going! Take it easy! Hope you feel better and stronger soon! 🧡
I'm relieved your covid cases were on the milder side but so sorry you had to go through that! Please take good care of yourselves!! Really happy to see your slow & gentle return! I love that your channel provides so many safe and gradual ways to return to exercise after illness, injury or just those times when life gets in the way and fitness falls by the wayside. Four months ago, I was coming off a long illness and period of deconditioning. I'm only 47 but I was deconditioned. I used the videos in your "absolute beginners" playlist to return to formal exercise ... I did ONLY the videos in that list for at least 2-3 weeks. Gradually began adding some 10-minute walk videos, then the slightly longer walks and strength videos, then some of the HIITS and line-dances, and now 4 months after I started I'm able to dabble in some of the intermediate moves and higher-intensity variations, while I've also moved from 2# to 5# on a few of the strength moves (while keeping to lighter weights on harder ones). I truly don't think I would've made such smooth, steady or enjoyable progress on my own. On my own, I probably would've gone too fast and injured myself (I've done that before), or be so cautious that I'd get bored before making progress. And I just wasn't getting the whole-body movements, strengthening and heart-rate increases out of my solo neighborhood walks. Truly grateful for the wonderful knowledge, virtual companionship, variety and safety-first encouragement. You are doing fantastic work and I so appreciate it.
Thank you! Your spirit and inner strength to get stronger and healthier is AWESOME! As a young 47yo taking steps to be strong will help to keep you strong as the years go by! Keep challenging yourself too! All your efforts are paying off in a healthier YOU! 👏 YAY! That's the way to do it! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! 🧡
Thought I’d give this one a try to see if I’m ready to do a little bit more and my body said not yet. Am really starting to listen to what my body says, so will continue doing stretches for a bit longer. Thanks to you both for being here for me and for all of us.
Thank you! Nice to see you! That's good! Keep listening to your body and give it all the TLC it needs! 👏Continue stretching as it's good to keep your muscles moving and it keeps them flexible too! We are here whenever your body says, "Ok, let's go! In the meantime, rest and renew! See you soon! ❤️
First, I am SO happy that both of you came through after COVID. Although I haven't contracted COVID to date (I'm what you'd call a "forever masker"--no guarantees) I took this routine and ran with it as if it was a cardio exercise and ramped everything up, adding embellishments to make my heart work harder. New routines excite me, and this one did its job. Lovely banter between you two. Thank you, as always, for coming up with another very worthy angle..Anastasia
Thank you! Good to see you and happy you are doing ok! Good idea to use the routine as a ramped up cardio prelude! That's the way to make use of the moment! Keeping you challenged is important for us but we know you will figure how to make any routine more challenging! Keep it going and keep moving with us! Stay safe! See you soon! 🧡
I'm sorry you each got Covid & grateful to see you each are forging ahead to self-care & teach us to self-care . These moves are gentle & because I completed them , I will try to do them tomorrow , I didn't realize how much my muscles needed & enjoyed moving . I appreciate your being there for us as usual .
Thank you for your kind thoughts! Good to see you! We are doing ok! This gentle workout will ease moving back into exercising, but it can also be a warmup before a cardio or strength workout too! It's good that you are moving to keep your body in the exercising mode. As always, listening to your body is the best! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! 🧡
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the workout! 10min doing this workout is good and you did it! YAY! 👏You did your body good! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! 🧡
Thank you and welcome! So nice of you to join us! 👏 Glad you found the workout helpful! Exercising will help your body to recover from Covid but be patient and rest as needed! Go at a pace that is comfortable for you! 👏No need to rush! Taking it slow and easy is good! Hope you feel better and stronger soon! ❤️
Welcome back, Aiko, and glad to see you both back in action and fun interaction! I sympathize with both of you for having been ill with COVID, but I'm glad to hear that you both had mild cases and are on the mend. I guess that explains why Aiko wasn't in last week's video and why the one from 2 weeks ago seemed to have been recorded a while back (your previous pillows)? Thanks so much for this gentle exercise video! I started back to exercise with one of your other gentle 15-minute workouts when I was recovering from COVID in December, but maybe I could have used this one even earlier in my recovery. It also looks good for any time that I'm not feeling up to a more vigorous workout or as a prelude to a more challenging workout. I'm so glad you're both feeling better, but don't be surprised or alarmed if it takes you several weeks to get fully back to yourselves. That was my experience this winter. Take good care of yourselves and continue getting better and better!♥ (P.S. Congratulations on 150K subscribers!!!!! 🙌🎊🎉😃)
Thank you for your kind words of support! Friends like you helped us to recently reach 150k! YAY! 👏 We are doing ok and are glad to be working out with all again. Good to know you are feeling better and stronger too! This gentle workout can also be a good warmup to a more ample as well. Keep up your good work and keep moving with us! See you soon! 👏🧡
Thank you for this exercice. my dad and I we both had COVID and we are follow you very much. Youre TH-cam blogs are a blessing. Please keep going on.😊❤
Thank you! Hope you find this gentler workout can really get you both back into the groove again! Glad you enjoy the workouts! Hi to your Dad! Keep moving to stay strong with us! Hope you and your Dad are feeling better! See you soon! 🧡
I just KNEW you two could help introduce me to movement after having Covid...I have been down for the count since last Wednesday. Have not even had the strength to look at videos! I feel a little better this morning, and hope this will help me feel more like myself! Thanks!!!
We're honored to be here for you. We wish you a speedy recovery. Listen to your body and take it slowly. We look forward to moving with you when you're able. ❤️
Thank you so much for this video. I'm just getting over Covid, and I'm definitely not up to my 5 days a week workouts. April, you and your mom have helped so much. I've done 1 of your 5 minute workouts, and 1 ten minute. I'm going to try for other today. Thanks again. ❤
Thank you! Glad you enjoy the workout! Getting over Covid is going slow and helping your body to move again. Patience is the key and you are doing it right! Starting with 5min and building to 10min is good and it helps your heart and muscles to get active again. Be patient, rest often and hydrate! You can do it! Hope you feel stronger and better soon! 🧡
@@yes2next thank you ever so much. I know, baby steps. My husband and I really got hit hard, even though we're fully vaccinated and boosted, plus we mask everywhere we go. He came down with it 1st. Definitely not a fun illness. I'm so glad that you and your mom had a mild case. We weren't as fortunate. It may take a few weeks until I'm up to full force cardio, and weight lifting, but I understand that going in too quickly, can only make things worse. Thank you again. ❤❤
I'm glad you're both over the covid. Also getting back into a workout is a good idea to start off gentle and easy. Got to keep moving and breathing. Thank you ladies.
Thank you for your sweet words! We are ok! This is an easy workout to get your body back into the swing of things but also can be a warmup for more vigorous workouts too! As you say "got to keep moving and breathing!" Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! 🧡
Thank you! That's the way to do it! Love 🧡your spirit and positive attitude! Keep moving to get stronger and to feel stronger! You got this! Keep moving with us too! See you soon! 🧡
So glad you are both feeling better, but sorry to hear you had covid, loved this gentle workout handy for so many times in life when we need to slow it down 😊
Thank you for your kind thoughts! We are both doing okay! You are spot on that this gentle workout can be used to just slow things down but still work your heart and muscles! Of course, you can always ramp it up and go super speedo too! Look forward to seeing you at our next workout! Keep moving with us! 🧡
I am just coming back from diverticulitis and a chest cold and feel like I am starting over with your exercises so this was perfect for me to begin again after being sick. Thanks so much!!!
Thank you! Timing is everything! The workout can help your body to get back in sync. 👏 It's good to start with a gentle workout to get your heart and muscles used to moving again! Start slow and rest often. Hope you feel better and stronger soon! Keep moving with us! 🧡
Thank you for your sweet words and your big hug!! You have made our day! We are okay now! Look forward to working out with you soon! Keep moving with us! 🧡
I can definitely say it can be tough getting on track after an illness. I had a severe infection from Clostridium Difficile and many hospital stays. Each time I felt like it was harder coming back. I honestly still struggle after my last, and longest, hospitalization. That’s what lead me to your channel. I need desperately to get in shape, and since I don’t enjoy exercising to begin with I was floundering. I am sticking with your channel only and mixing up videos. So far so good! You both are great! 😀
Thank you! Sorry to hear of your health issues but it looks like you are overcoming them and need to get your body back in sync which is good news! Exercising will help! Just go slow and at a pace that is comfortable for you and build from there! Your heart and muscles will enjoy the activity as they are meant to move! Mixing up the workouts is a good idea too! Keep it going and keep moving with us to get strong! You can do it! See you soon! 🧡
Thank you! Glad you liked it and glad it is just what you were looking for during your recovery from Covid! Take it slow and easy and go at a pace that is comfortable. 👏 Your body will enjoy moving too and support your efforts! Nice work! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
I just sang the praises of your website to a friend and was feeling under the weather today and came across this video and already feel a bit better! Please say hello to your mom, and keep making us get off the couch! Wendy :)
Thank you! Happy you enjoy the workouts and many thanks for sharing us with your friend! Glad this short workout helped you! Mom says HI and hopes you feel better soon! She doesn't mind if you rest on the couch but once you feel better, yup, time to get up off the couch! 👏 Keep moving with us! Hope you feel stronger and better soon! 🧡
Beautiful girls i thankful for you both are ok ,healthy strong and blessed we hope to see you both for a long long years to came and enjoying your exercise teaching ,have a bless week ❤️🥰
Thank you for your kind words! We are okay! Hope this short workout can help all who need to get back to moving again but it can also be a warmup to more vigorous workouts too! 👏 Keep it going and keep moving to stay strong with us! See you soon! 🧡
Tq so very much for the wonderful e exercises. I was down with body pains but no fever. I did these exercises and my brother, sister and my father watched me doing them. I am feeling better. I wish I could do some exercises on weight reduction. As of today my weight is 76 kgs. Just want those extra weight to come down and I feel more better and healthy. 😊. My regards to you and mom. If my mother was alive she would say I am looking healthy and slim. Tq once again for such wonderful videos. I do them every day.❤. Dr. Gowri. India
We are so happy you're feeling better with our exercises. Losing weight is a combination of a healthy diet and exercise. An exercise program that includes high intensity interval training (HIIT) has been shown to help lose belly fat. The key is to get your heart rate up during repeated exercise intervals of 30 seconds or more and then bring it down during rest intervals. We have lots of HIIT workouts that can meet you at your level from 5 to 40 minutes: bit.ly/3MbznVl. Also, strength training builds muscle -- not only is this good for overall strength to live your life fully, but muscle burns more calories than fat so the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn at resting state! We invite you to check our our many strength workouts: bit.ly/3ogXF3G Mom says hi and to keep moving! Thank you so much for moving with us everyday!❤️
We understand. We're so proud of you for focusing on regaining your strength. Keep listening to your body and move as much as you are able. We're honored to be here for you. ❤️
Nice to have both of you back. Yay! Now that you and Mom are on the mend, any plans to put out another dumbbell workout? Maybe something at a super slow pace, no repeats & not a lot of reps so we can lift heavier weights?
Thank you for your kind words! We are glad to be back and are doing ok! Your request is a good one and we definitely will add it to the list! Building muscle is important! 💪 In the meantime, keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! 🧡
Could you do a set of exercises for those recovering from torn ligaments? I'm in a moonboot for 4vweeks and then moving on to 6 weeks in an ankle brace Thank you
Because everyone is different, it is important to check with your healthcare provider on the best exercises for you and when they should be done. Here is a Cambridge University Hospital article with information on exercises following an ankle injury or operation: bit.ly/46qTRDA Thank you for your suggestion! We will add gentle ankle exercises to our list of videos to make. Wishing you strength and a smooth recovery! ❤️
Thank you! Glad you liked the workout! Pleased being in your 30s you are working out with us to stay strong! 💪 You are doing your body good! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Hi ladies , this is day 3 for me but it seems I've caught a cold . I'm let down because my stamina has decreased but I did complete this healing workout . Lots of fluids & rest but I'll also keep moving . Hope you have a peaceful weekend . Thank you.
Thank you! Good to see you but sorry to know you have been under the weather. Let your body rest to recover. You are doing it right by drinking lots of fluid and resting. Your body will do it's best to recover and get you moving again. Take it slow and easy! We are here whenever your body says, "ok, let's get moving!" Hope you feel stronger and better soon! 🧡
This is so helpful to know because I’m in the midst of a Covid infection now! What can I do to keep from sliding backwards while I’m under the weather? I was making such good progress before this hit and I am all ready feeling stiff and sore from not moving for a few days 😩
Sorry you're under the weather. Please check with your doctor on what is best for you from an exercise standpoint. Here is a Mayo Clinic article with information: bit.ly/3qWDP4v When the time is right, you can try our video on exercising after Covid: bit.ly/3ntAGXP Give yourself some grace -- it's best to listen to your body and rest as much as you need to. Sending you healing wishes. ❤️
You are very welcome! Thanks for working out with us! Glad you enjoyed it! It's a good gentle way to get your body moving after being ill. 👏 Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Hello friends , i injured my leg & I've become immobilized . I'm so concerned about not moving because of fear of blood clots . I hope to safely exercise with you as soon as possible because of your education , compassion & encouragement . My condition is still complicated but with medical follow up I'll be more informed to continue my most helpful movement routine you provided . Because of my time with you , my fall was less risky as I had more strength & stamina . Cannot thank you enough.
Oh my! So sorry to hear the unhappy news! It's understandable to be concerned about the effects of not exercising! Please check with your doctor to see what would be the best routines to keep your recovery safe. The fact that you have been exercising was certainly helpful to brunt serious injury so that's a good thing! For now, rest and help your body to get back on track. The time to move will happen once your body is feeling strong again! We're here for you! See you soon! 🧡

Good to know you are feeling better and stronger too! This gentle workout can also be a good warmup to a more ample as well. Keep up your good work and keep moving with us! See you soon! 👏🧡
Thank you for this exercice. my dad and I we both had COVID and we are follow you very much. Youre TH-cam blogs are a blessing. Please keep going on.😊❤
Thank you! Hope you find this gentler workout can really get you both back into the groove again! Glad you enjoy the workouts! Hi to your Dad! Keep moving to stay strong with us! Hope you and your Dad are feeling better! See you soon! 🧡
I just KNEW you two could help introduce me to movement after having Covid...I have been down for the count since last Wednesday. Have not even had the strength to look at videos! I feel a little better this morning, and hope this will help me feel more like myself! Thanks!!!
We're honored to be here for you. We wish you a speedy recovery. Listen to your body and take it slowly. We look forward to moving with you when you're able. ❤️
Thank you so much for this video. I'm just getting over Covid, and I'm definitely not up to my 5 days a week workouts. April, you and your mom have helped so much. I've done 1 of your 5 minute workouts, and 1 ten minute. I'm going to try for other today. Thanks again. ❤
Thank you! Glad you enjoy the workout! Getting over Covid is going slow and helping your body to move again. Patience is the key and you are doing it right! Starting with 5min and building to 10min is good and it helps your heart and muscles to get active again. Be patient, rest often and hydrate! You can do it! Hope you feel stronger and better soon! 🧡
@@yes2next thank you ever so much. I know, baby steps. My husband and I really got hit hard, even though we're fully vaccinated and boosted, plus we mask everywhere we go. He came down with it 1st. Definitely not a fun illness. I'm so glad that you and your mom had a mild case. We weren't as fortunate. It may take a few weeks until I'm up to full force cardio, and weight lifting, but I understand that going in too quickly, can only make things worse. Thank you again. ❤❤
I'm glad you're both over the covid. Also getting back into a workout is a good idea to start off gentle and easy. Got to keep moving and breathing. Thank you ladies.
Thank you for your sweet words! We are ok! This is an easy workout to get your body back into the swing of things but also can be a warmup for more vigorous workouts too! As you say "got to keep moving and breathing!" Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! 🧡
Thanks guys. I got through the whole thing. Post COVID, I’ve had ups and downs. I’m taking advantage of the good times.
Thank you! That's the way to do it! Love 🧡your spirit and positive attitude! Keep moving to get stronger and to feel stronger! You got this! Keep moving with us too! See you soon! 🧡
So glad you are both feeling better, but sorry to hear you had covid, loved this gentle workout handy for so many times in life when we need to slow it down 😊
Thank you for your kind thoughts! We are both doing okay! You are spot on that this gentle workout can be used to just slow things down but still work your heart and muscles! Of course, you can always ramp it up and go super speedo too! Look forward to seeing you at our next workout! Keep moving with us! 🧡
I am just coming back from diverticulitis and a chest cold and feel like I am starting over with your exercises so this was perfect for me to begin again after being sick. Thanks so much!!!
Thank you! Timing is everything! The workout can help your body to get back in sync. 👏 It's good to start with a gentle workout to get your heart and muscles used to moving again! Start slow and rest often. Hope you feel better and stronger soon! Keep moving with us! 🧡
I’m so sorry you both got sick with Covid. But I’m glad you and your mom are feeling better now.
Take care and
sending a big hug to both of you ❤
Thank you for your sweet words and your big hug!! You have made our day! We are okay now! Look forward to working out with you soon! Keep moving with us! 🧡
I can definitely say it can be tough getting on track after an illness. I had a severe infection from Clostridium Difficile and many hospital stays. Each time I felt like it was harder coming back. I honestly still struggle after my last, and longest, hospitalization. That’s what lead me to your channel. I need desperately to get in shape, and since I don’t enjoy exercising to begin with I was floundering. I am sticking with your channel only and mixing up videos. So far so good! You both are great! 😀
Thank you! Sorry to hear of your health issues but it looks like you are overcoming them and need to get your body back in sync which is good news! Exercising will help! Just go slow and at a pace that is comfortable for you and build from there! Your heart and muscles will enjoy the activity as they are meant to move! Mixing up the workouts is a good idea too! Keep it going and keep moving with us to get strong! You can do it! See you soon! 🧡
Thank you for this video! This is what I was looking for!
Thank you! Glad you liked it and glad it is just what you were looking for during your recovery from Covid! Take it slow and easy and go at a pace that is comfortable. 👏 Your body will enjoy moving too and support your efforts! Nice work! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
I just sang the praises of your website to a friend and was feeling under the weather today and came across this video and already feel a bit better! Please say hello to your mom, and keep making us get off the couch! Wendy :)
Thank you! Happy you enjoy the workouts and many thanks for sharing us with your friend! Glad this short workout helped you! Mom says HI and hopes you feel better soon! She doesn't mind if you rest on the couch but once you feel better, yup, time to get up off the couch! 👏 Keep moving with us! Hope you feel stronger and better soon! 🧡
Beautiful girls i thankful for you both are ok ,healthy strong and blessed we hope to see you both for a long long years to came and enjoying your exercise teaching ,have a bless week ❤️🥰
Thank you for your kind words! We are okay! Hope this short workout can help all who need to get back to moving again but it can also be a warmup to more vigorous workouts too! 👏 Keep it going and keep moving to stay strong with us! See you soon! 🧡
Tq so very much for the wonderful e exercises. I was down with body pains but no fever. I did these exercises and my brother, sister and my father watched me doing them. I am feeling better. I wish I could do some exercises on weight reduction. As of today my weight is 76 kgs. Just want those extra weight to come down and I feel more better and healthy. 😊. My regards to you and mom. If my mother was alive she would say I am looking healthy and slim. Tq once again for such wonderful videos. I do them every day.❤. Dr. Gowri. India
We are so happy you're feeling better with our exercises. Losing weight is a combination of a healthy diet and exercise. An exercise program that includes high intensity interval training (HIIT) has been shown to help lose belly fat. The key is to get your heart rate up during repeated exercise intervals of 30 seconds or more and then bring it down during rest intervals. We have lots of HIIT workouts that can meet you at your level from 5 to 40 minutes: bit.ly/3MbznVl. Also, strength training builds muscle -- not only is this good for overall strength to live your life fully, but muscle burns more calories than fat so the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn at resting state! We invite you to check our our many strength workouts: bit.ly/3ogXF3G Mom says hi and to keep moving! Thank you so much for moving with us everyday!❤️
Very important input. Thanks for this! ❤🙏
Thank you! Glad you thought so! Keep moving with us!🧡
@@yes2next Definitely will! :-) ❤️
That workout showed me how much my second bout of Corona took out of me. Thank-you.
We understand. We're so proud of you for focusing on regaining your strength. Keep listening to your body and move as much as you are able. We're honored to be here for you. ❤️
Thank you. I’m still here! I had Covid too 😢All better now though ❤
Thank you! That's great! Glad you are over it! We are too! Keep moving to stay strong and healthy! See you soon! 🧡
Thank you have a good day!
You are very welcome! Thanks for joining us! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! 🧡
Nice to have both of you back. Yay! Now that you and Mom are on the mend, any plans to put out another dumbbell workout? Maybe something at a super slow pace, no repeats & not a lot of reps so we can lift heavier weights?
Thank you for your kind words! We are glad to be back and are doing ok! Your request is a good one and we definitely will add it to the list! Building muscle is important! 💪 In the meantime, keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! 🧡
I had Covid-19 and ❤I really appreciate this channel and you ❤
Thank you! Love 🧡you back! This short gentle exercise will get your body back to moving! Hope you are feeling better! Keep it going! See you soon! 🧡
Could you do a set of exercises for those recovering from torn ligaments? I'm in a moonboot for 4vweeks and then moving on to 6 weeks in an ankle brace Thank you
Because everyone is different, it is important to check with your healthcare provider on the best exercises for you and when they should be done. Here is a Cambridge University Hospital article with information on exercises following an ankle injury or operation: bit.ly/46qTRDA Thank you for your suggestion! We will add gentle ankle exercises to our list of videos to make. Wishing you strength and a smooth recovery! ❤️
Im just in my 30s and this was a heartwarming nice workout
Thank you! Glad you liked the workout! Pleased being in your 30s you are working out with us to stay strong! 💪 You are doing your body good! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Hi ladies , this is day 3 for me but it seems I've caught a cold . I'm let down because my stamina has decreased but I did complete this healing workout . Lots of fluids & rest but I'll also keep moving . Hope you have a peaceful weekend . Thank you.
Thank you! Good to see you but sorry to know you have been under the weather. Let your body rest to recover. You are doing it right by drinking lots of fluid and resting. Your body will do it's best to recover and get you moving again. Take it slow and easy! We are here whenever your body says, "ok, let's get moving!" Hope you feel stronger and better soon! 🧡
This is so helpful to know because I’m in the midst of a Covid infection now! What can I do to keep from sliding backwards while I’m under the weather? I was making such good progress before this hit and I am all ready feeling stiff and sore from not moving for a few days 😩
Sorry you're under the weather. Please check with your doctor on what is best for you from an exercise standpoint. Here is a Mayo Clinic article with information: bit.ly/3qWDP4v When the time is right, you can try our video on exercising after Covid: bit.ly/3ntAGXP Give yourself some grace -- it's best to listen to your body and rest as much as you need to. Sending you healing wishes. ❤️
@@yes2next Thank you, April - I will do my best so I can get back to spending some quality time with you and Aiko and Mochi. I appreciate you! ❤️
Thank you for this!!
You are very welcome! Thanks for working out with us! Glad you enjoyed it! It's a good gentle way to get your body moving after being ill. 👏 Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️

Hello friends , i injured my leg & I've become immobilized . I'm so concerned about not moving because of fear of blood clots . I hope to safely exercise with you as soon as possible because of your education , compassion & encouragement . My condition is still complicated but with medical follow up I'll be more informed to continue my most helpful movement routine you provided . Because of my time with you , my fall was less risky as I had more strength & stamina . Cannot thank you enough.
Oh my! So sorry to hear the unhappy news! It's understandable to be concerned about the effects of not exercising! Please check with your doctor to see what would be the best routines to keep your recovery safe. The fact that you have been exercising was certainly helpful to brunt serious injury so that's a good thing! For now, rest and help your body to get back on track. The time to move will happen once your body is feeling strong again! We're here for you! See you soon! 🧡
