Can older folks really get stronger?

[@thesunflowerchannel5361]

Yes. Take it slow. Stop if you feel pain. But slow and steady and yes, old folks CAN get stronger! I don't know if you'll think it's corny, but this commercial about gaining strength is pretty sweet. Thank you so much for watching, Mr. H! :) th-cam.com/video/30Y5TVoYl1A/w-d-xo.html

Greetings my Dear, from England. I am a 63 year old male, not unfit. Decided to make changes in my life instead of slowly killing myself. Started intermittent fasting last week and came across an article on these bands. Watched many videos on how to use these, but even the ones focused on seniors like my scared the life out of me.
Yours is the only one which inspired me to believe I could do that.
I have just ordered similar bands to the ones you are using. Will follow your exercises when they arrive.
God bless.
John

[@ebtisamali4704]

Thanks Angelina I will do it

[@benwinnerkam6717]

Are the colours and related values universal? Is every red band 2.5lb etc

[@thesunflowerchannel5361]

Hi, there: Thank you so much for watching! I believe so, yes. Check out this chart: I hope it's helpful! www.prohealthcareproducts.com/blog/theraband-colors-sequence-resistance-levels/

I just got the yellow one for my mom and when I opened the box it’s huge. It very long. Do I have to cut it?

[@thesunflowerchannel5361]

Hi, there--You don't want it to be too short. Five feet or so should be about right for most people. :) Thank you for watching!

[@Sparklesilverlights]

@@thesunflowerchannel5361 I just checked and it’s 6 yards. It’s too big. It’s from the brand Medline.

[@darshikatailor]

Can you share length of band

[@thesunflowerchannel5361]

Wow! That is long! Should be about five feet long.

[@stevenfoster9351]

That will be bad if it stays on you it will be painful

[@patriciausary1538]

I like the workout, but find the shoes worn inappropriate and unprofessional
for a workout

[@thesunflowerchannel5361]

Dear Patricia: Yes. Proper footwear is essential. We recommend sneakers with good traction. We will be sure our instructors have appropriate footwear going forward. Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment.
