I bought a maxi climber about 5 years ago and used it enthusiastically for about a month. Alas, it has been gathering dust ever since. Your mom is putting me to shame! My husband bought me a VR headset for Christmas, and I've been enjoying using some fitness apps on that. Your so lucky to still have your parents. Appreciate them every single day🤩
Hi Clare, totally inspiring and I am looking into getting one now! I could listen to your mum's fabulous accent all day. Please thank her from me for this inspiration, what she has achieved is amazing.
I use a similar machine at the gym I to , but its even better , its a vibrating climbing machine . Vibration is good for your joints and bones . If you remember the Rocky 4 movie the russian guy played by Dolph Lundgren trained with the climbing machine.
Omg! I have that! It’s in the middle of the room right now! 😂 mine was £140 a few weeks ago. I get the Spotify tunes on and do a minute on, minute off, like a HIIT style workout
Thanks for this video. I've been looking around for an inexpensive exercise machine I can give to my mom as well who likes to stay active but is almost 70. I've also got her started on tretinoin, collagen supplements and sunscreen. Watching our parents age sometimes feel like a never-ending battle against time.
Hi, this is wonderful. I used to have a similar machine when I was much younger and really liked it. Glad to see your mom feeling better and stronger. God bless 🙏
I signed up at a gym and saw they had the vertical climber. It looked so simple machinery wise. So I decided to try it. Was very awkward the first few times I pedaled up and down. Then I realized you can adjust it. Was adjusted to the maximum level up. It was a little difficult. Nice stretching with it too. I did like it.
This is a fantastic machine, has been recommended by many physios in my country. Also Kyphosis can be mitigated or ameliorated by extensions on a hard foam roller and some simple floor exercises such as supermans and bird-dogs. Great work!
Good on you for finding a fitness solution for your mum! I noticed she was wearing shoes with solid soles. I had a Maxiclimber and got pains in my mid feet from standing on the very narrow bars at the bottom. But maybe that was due to my using rubber soled trainers. I had neuromas in my feet before I started.
New sub today because of your mom and the Zuvi hair dryer! Thanks! Did you ever do the “update” after using Zuvi for 6 months? I can’t seem to locate it. Sending love and respect from Central Florida.
osteoporosis is what causes most kyphosis. take your vit d and get a bone density test around menopause and every few yrs thereafter. if your bone density is decreasing, there are prescription meds u can take to help. this is a hereditary condition and most common in thin white females and is preventable
Hi. I'm really interested in NMN, having just read David Sinclair's Lifespan book. I'm actually interviewing a doctor about it this week for the channel and am planning to start myself, my mum and my dad on it shortly. One of the things I'm less sure about is whether I'd feel good about taking it every day long term but the early evidence behind it is impressive.
What a wonderful thing to see - your Mama working out! My only question (I’m an exercise physiologist) is to wonder about how this gait pattern might negatively affect the neurology (if that’s all the exercise she does). It may not have any negative effects if you incorporate other activities, but the body actually needs to do cross crawl movements. There’s another climbing machine that offers the more natural pattern which is (in my opinion) better for balance. Probably many of them, although they might cost more. As people grow older, these patterns become more important. Watch your Mother’s pattern of arm swing as she walks. When her right leg comes forward, her right arm should swing back, and her left arm should swing forward. This is essential for good balance to prevent falls. I just discovered your videos, today. 😎
I just asked my mum about that. She didn't feel there was much of a risk but I guess it depends on their balance. My mum wasn't so stable when she first tried the climber but she's never slipped from it.
@@thehonestchannel Thank you so much for the reply from your mom and you both. I will show your video to my parents and see their response 😄. Also I look forward to a follow-up video after three months maybe?
@@chewiehunan I’ll be featuring my mum again on the channel as she’s going to be trying the NMN supplement so we’ll update on her fitness when we discuss that.
I've known many people who got back pain from doing yoga! Her doctor even told her not to do it anymore. Pilates is probably safer. The doctor recommended pilates when I had back pain.
I don't have the Foreo Bear but I think it's quite similar to the NuFace. The ZIIP is slightly different because it also uses nanocurrent and is noticeably gentler on the skin. The results aren't as immediately obvious but it's a better user experience and I think a little kinder over time. I'll share my thoughts in a video on my skincare routine and learnings to date next month to coincide with my 50th : )
@@gabbyskitchen6640 The ZIIP nanocurrent device is a good all-rounder and gentle on your skin. I also have an RF device but I use it only on my jowls and infrequently. I’ve done a lot on RF risks and they should be more widely known.
Is an elliptical machine similar to these climbers? I have a treadmill at my home, but the small gym where I live has an elliptical, so was wondering if it would the same.
They're pretty similar. I have an elliptical trainer as well. The vertical climbers are more weight-bearing than an elliptical, but ellipticals use most of the major muscle groups as well so there's not a huge amount in it.
I think it would be considered a weight bearing exercise. There is a lot of resistance as you’re pulling your own weight each way. Simple but effective.
@@thehonestchannel it does look a bit awkward working out on that machine but I definitely still want to have a look. Can someone who has had knee cap replacement (more than a year ago) do this machine?
Your mom is looking fantastic at this advanced age. We see how much you love your mum and dad! Lovely and so happy she has a solution to fitness!
🙏 Thank you. They mean so much to me ❤️

Wow your mum is a champion 🏆
Your mom is lovely and looks utterly fabulous 🌟
I’d like to get one of those climbers too!
🥰
Your mum is absolutely adorable!
Hi Clare, totally inspiring and I am looking into getting one now! I could listen to your mum's fabulous accent all day. Please thank her from me for this inspiration, what she has achieved is amazing.
Thank you! I read your message to her and she's thrilled because she didn't like the way her voice sounded. Nice to give her a bit of a boost!
Your mom looks so much more strong from the video of her 2 years ago, amazing ❤️
I use a similar machine at the gym I to , but its even better , its a vibrating climbing machine . Vibration is good for your joints and bones . If you remember the Rocky 4 movie the russian guy played by Dolph Lundgren trained with the climbing machine.
I saw that clip the other day funnily enough!
Oh that’s interesting. Husband just bought a massage gun and we are vibrating our arms and legs then 😂
Your mom is super cute and quite a trooper
x
She sure is! Xx
You're inspiring me to actually start using my exercise machine at least a few times a week. We'll see how it goes. LOL
Congrats to your mum.
Your mom is so adorable. I may invest in one of those machines. Thanks for making this video.
what an inspiration thank you so much for showing this, thank your mum please x
Thank you - I will do! x
So happy to see her so fit, may Allah bless her with a very healthy, happy a long life. Aameen. ❤
Thank you. Sending good wishes to you too. ❤️
This was so wholesome and inspiring!! Thank you Clare! Please tell your Mum, hello and well done from Australia 🥰
I will do! ❤️
What a huge difference! Thank you for sharing
Omg! I have that! It’s in the middle of the room right now! 😂 mine was £140 a few weeks ago. I get the Spotify tunes on and do a minute on, minute off, like a HIIT style workout
Good to hear you're getting the use of it!
Your Mothers face looks really healthy and glowy, beautiful lady.

So true. I also have my parents on a skincare and supplements regime!
So inspirational Claire and Mum! Lulu

Also, your mom is really inspiring.
By the way Amazon has the same machine back on stock for $179 USD.
Thanks for flagging this - is it the Sportstech or the Maxi Climber that's back on Amazon US? I can't find either of them on there.

Oh yes, the VersaClimber has been around for decades and retains its relevance for functional exercise to this day.
So good!! ❤

Great to have you as a sub! I haven’t revisited the Zuvi yet - apologies, but I’m still using it and feel it helps keep my hair in better condition.
She's the cutest gran in the world ❤️
I think i am going to get one, I walk but not so much in the winter.

Absolutely, that is sound advice. My mum has osteoporosis and I take a high strength vit D tablet daily.
incredible! if u have any videos 1/2 way in i'd like to see those. the first time she did it she didn't seem to have the hang of it
No more videos I’m afraid. It’s quite simple to use but she just really struggled to pull her own weight in the early days.
@@thehonestchannel Thank you for sharing and taking the time to document. Very helpful. :)
This is amazing! I am going to show my mum this. I am assuming this machine helps with stamina? And helps with mobilising the joints?
Absolutely to both. It’s just been brilliant all round and so quick and easy to do.
Hey honest channel whats your opinion on nmn and its ability to reverse aging
Hi. I'm really interested in NMN, having just read David Sinclair's Lifespan book.

One of the things I'm less sure about is whether I'd feel good about taking it every day long term but the early evidence behind it is impressive.
@@thehonestchannel yea my one fear is if I start taking it everyday my body will become lazy and rely on the pills for nad and stop producing its own
@@dbzwarrior4321 Like so many things linked to anti-aging there are a lot of unknowns!

Thank you so much for this thoughtful message. I’ll talk to my mum about it.
I wrecked my knee doing stairclimbing for fitness. Two years later it still hurts despite physio. It's a shame because the cardio benefits were great.
That is a shame.
I want to buy this for my mum, unfortunately she hates exercise 😢
im gonna see if my mom will do this if i get this for her!
🤞
Great content! I'm just a bit concerned that my parents might fall off the machine if their muscles are weak though. Any potential safety concerns???

You should take your mother to yoga classes. It may help her back. Thanks for sharing this information and sharing your precious mother.
Thank you! I'm sure we could both benefit from doing yoga.

Hi
I have Nuface and both Foreo Bears. Have you compared both of these against the Ziip

Hi Claire, just realized it was you using the derma wand back when, do you think it works and do you still use it, thanks
I think the industry has moved on since then and there are more effective products so I don’t use it anymore.
@@thehonestchannel what would you say replaces it, thanks for responding!

My dad is really very active and mobile so he uses it often but not daily.

Can we call it "Healthy Ageing" rather than "anti" ?
It's a nstural process, not a war against time
It's a good point - and I do like that phrase, thank you!
She aged backwards . Amazing
It’s incredible what exercise can do!
Does it work the triceps or just the biceps? Trying to avoid the bat wings 💸. 😂
Looks very good. Tha only downsides is that it's not "weight bearing". (At least it doesn't look like it.) Which is necessary for building bone.

@@wem-c9f I don’t see any reason who not because it’s low impact so should be gentle on your joints.
