      perky young people are great (as long as they don’t keep yelling at the class to move faster), but it’s nice to have an exercise session with somebody going at my speed level.

      Also it’s nice to exercise while looking at someone not wearing skintight spandex that makes me not want to look at them due to sheer embarrassment

    I just started this today. I am 68 with rheumatoid arthritis and interstitial lung disease A babysit my grandchildren almost daily and I need more energy and strength. The little boys are too and still like to be carried and I struggle. We have a new baby coming in November I’m hoping this will help mewith my strength. It was easy and very enjoyable the way the instructor presented thank you so much.

    I am 66. I've been doing it three times a week for about a month, and I can actually see results!!! I'm going to start doing it every other day now. This is by far the best upper body workout video for seniors that I've found on the internet. The coach is friendly and personable.

    Thank you. I’m enjoying following your video. The lateral fly is the toughest for me.

    • @albertgainsworth
      @albertgainsworth 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I believe that's because these exercises seem to be mostly for the deltoids. I find that if I take a rest part way it helps my deltoids to recover. And for the lateral flyes, the instructor says to lean forward. I believe that takes the weight a bit off of the deltoids and a little bit on the back muscles. I welcome any discussion.

    Good exercises, well explained, however, my parents-in-law found the music in the background very distracting, even off-putting. Because you talk over the music to explain the exercises and to motivate, it's not possible to just turn the volume off. Please consider doing some of these exercise videos without the distracting and repetitive sound in the background. Best wishes

    The seated upright row is not an advisable exercise to do as the shoulder is elevated and internally rotated during the movement, leaving it prone to injury. The hawkins/Kennedy test infact uses the same principle to test for shoulder impingement.
