In this session, we are going through some great range of motion and stretching routines.
It’s always important to take our flexibility and range in our movements into account when we think about our health and fitness. Our range in movement is the foundation of physical fitness.
Having great flexibility is important at any age and can be worked on in any workout. It’s also a great idea to go through some stretching routines after your main workout just to loosen up the body again.
If you’re looking for a great cool down routine then you can utilize the movements in this video as well.
As always only do what you feel comfortable with and never force something that may cause you discomfort.
So pull up a chair, get comfortable and feel well.
Have a great workout!

This session is a central part of my daily fitness routine. My pug lies on my bed and glances back and forth between Meredith and me. If there is even a slight pause, he glances at me as if he is my personal trainer and wants me to move it along. TV is not his favorite thing, except when Meredith comes on. These twenty minutes are special in every way. Thank you!
Aww, so great! And your pug is doing a great job watching :) So happy you enjoy the workouts!!
This was a wonderful exercise routine!
Thank you so much!

Good short workout, thanks.
You're welcome!
Thank you for another great workout! I love the way you make the instructions easy to understand.
Thank you Lizzie!
Meredith, I wanted to let you know that your BACK ON TRACK workout is perfect. It has everything in one workout from abs to ankles. The stretches at the end are just right for me. Your thoughtful instructions are excellent. I could not write a comment on that video because I don't have it in this format. I will do this one often. I am 83 from Cleveland, Ohio. Thank you.
Thank you so much Lucy! I’m always here for you! Keep up the great work!
🎉 TY!
Thank you so much. You are the very best physical instructor I have ever known and believe me being quite long in the tooth and have come across many in my time.
Stay safe and God bless.
Thank you so much for the kind words!! They mean so much to me! I am so happy you enjoy my instruction and my channel. I thank you for the support as well!:)
Take care and stay healthy, Meredith
Excellent moves
Thank you Parag!!
Thank you so much Meredith. I always enjoy your workouts. I love the mixture of stretching and yoga.
Thank you Lizzie!
This was very helpful the fact that I learn new ways to stretch, from different angle. Thanks so much.
Thank you Sonia, I’m so happy you enjoyed it!!
Excellent stretches. Excellent instructor. Thank you.
Thank you!!
Amazing how good a seated workout can feel. Thank you so much. A great end of the day workout.
So wonderful Michelle! I am so proud of you!! Thank you for the support! Take care and stay well, Meredith
Thanks again for another great way to start the day.
You are very welcome Grant!
You are my absolute favorite! Love this video! Love your teaching style. Learning a great deal. I have started feeling much more confident in leading my seniors since watching your videos. Very soothing tone/voice. Thanks so much for posting.
Thank you, again! So happy you are feeling more confident and comfortable teaching. Keep up the hard work you are doing!
Take care! Meredith
Most wonderful exercises! Loved it!
Thank you Lourdes!!
Everyday am enjoying the exercises. Thanks
I am so happy to hear that!! Keep up the great work!!
Great chair workout, you incorporated many things I hadn't seen emphasized in other senior chair workouts such as abdominals and getting up and down. Also, we have the same first name, which is fairly rare! I'm a new subscriber!
Thank you Mer!! Great name:) it is rare!!
I'm enjoying this activity more and more each day. It's a wonderful way to start each day.each mo
Perfect way to start the day!!
I am really enjoying my 3 in the afternoon stretches with you. Watching in Kingston Ontario.
Love it Mary!! Keep up the great work, enjoying our 3pm stretches together too:) Take care!
Meredith I have subscribed for your channel n love all your videos.So helpful in everyday.
Thank you so much!!
I so enjoy this one! A winning combo for me - this and then your advanced Kettle Bell. I like the pace of this routine - when I'm feeling wild strong I do the routine from my wobble chair, and add specific exercises for hand arthritis (too much crafting this holiday season leaves hands tender). Thank you!
So great to hear you enjoy this one, and the advanced kettlebell! I also love hearing how you make it your own by adding things to challenge you and make you feel better on days you feel up to it:) Way to go! Keep up the great work! I am proud of you!
Thank you so much and I really enjoyed.🌺😊✋👍
Thank you!
Looking forward to the live stream on Range Of Motion & Stretching.
I continued your range of motion and stretching workout and yesterday I finished in 3rd place in a 9 ball tournament in Meguro, Tokyo Japan. That isn't bad..but Sunday, I'm going against 192 other players throughout the Kanto region of Tokyo.
Way to go!! I look forward to hearing how the next tournament went!! Keep me posted:) Take care, Meredith
@@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith Abs..solutely! Bit of wordplay. I'll do what I can, and hope the pool God's are on my side.
Awesome
Es macht immer Freude mit Dir!
Thank you Brigitte! I am so happy you like it! Take care and stay healthy, Meredith
Super video! I applauded for $5.00 👏👏
Thank you so much Jessica! I truly appreciate your support!
Thanks for another day 10/17/2020
Keep going Grant!! All good days to come:) Take care!!
@@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith each day is a true joy.
Thanks, I was given a suggestion to stretch. This video is right up my alley. I"m almost 62 and I was an athletic playing hardball at the age of 48. I am an avid pool player and this is a great conditioning. I also have been the fortunate recipient of a kidney transplant 7 years ago. Vigorous exercise trigger the production of an enzyme that is harmful to my donor kidney. So this is a great way to loosen up and stay stretched and active.
Thank you for devoting your time and knowledge to the seniors.
Thank you Grant! I am so happy you found the channel and workout, and they are right for you! It is so important to stay stretched and active, and keeping it less vigorous is perfect too:) Keep up the great work! I appreciate your support! Take care, Meredith
Hi Meredith! I am a subscriber to your channel and have commented before. I always enjoy your videos for fresh ideas to use in my senior fitness classes. The Thera-band videos have been my faves.
In this video, all except for one move, it’s almost like the ROM/postural warm-up I teach!
#twinsies LOL
The one element I do not do (and learned never to do from various certifications), is to let the head go back. The pressure on the cervical spine and possible serious injury is contraindicated for all, but most especially for the older adult population. Their spines being so vulnerable and possibly also suffering from arthritis and osteoporosis.
I have my folks “draw a smile” with their chin- aiming down toward the sternum and then lifting up to the left/right corners of the room, slowly and with the breath.
So I’m just wondering why it is you use this move with your seniors? No disrespect intended..I might be missing something!!
Thanks kindly if you get a chance to reply!
Hi Carol! Thank you for your feedback and interest in my channel.
That is a great question of "why do I " do that particular movement. As with every class I instruct or individual I work with, each person has to listen to their bodies and always do what feels best for them. With some seniors, the range of motion is almost non-existent in the neck region so getting any movement and ROM to help stretch is necessary.
Again, to each his own, and what feels best and the body allows.
Thank you again for the wonderful feedback! Always welcome and appreciated! - meredith
I played my 9 ball tournament on Sunday, need to work on my mental game. Seemingly lost interest to complete at a high level...but my body was in great condition to compete.
Well, I say great job Grant! I am proud of you!! Any more tournaments soon?
Look forward to hearing more! Take care!
Another great day !! Looking forward to see the results of the election in the USA.
Me too!! It is very nerve-wracking here right now:)
