Gentle and effective stretches delivered with friendliness and warmth. What could be better? Thank you so much for this video!
July 2021…I am so out of shape and really needed a very gentle exercise that I can do in my recliner. I have hurt my ribs two times in the past 4 months just from stretching sideways over my head sideways. Most videos are for people who are much more mobile than I am. I give myself a Pat on the back when I don’t have to use my walker and walk all alone…not even a cane. I was congratulating myself because I took a shower without a shower chair today. I was so discouraged trying to find some exercises that were so very gentle that would not hurt me. Then, I found your video! Thank you for understanding we aren’t all Yoga Masters and skinny. 😅
Thanks for taking time to write, Roxanne. I'm so glad you're taking care of yourself. Our very best to you.
God bless! You earned that pat on the back, and I'm giving you one too. 😊
I just got a vaccine in my left arm, and it's very sore. The stretches you demonstrated really helped a lot, so thank you!
Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing your skills and expertise. I started caring for my mother last year and we use these exercises for her. She has become stronger and experiences less pain through the course of the day. Thank you. God bless.🌻
Dear Marigold. Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to write us. I'm so glad to hear the pain is easing up a bit, and your mother is gaining some strength. Blessings right back to you and your mother.
Thank you for being so helpful to me. Your pleasantness is heart warming. Thank you, again.
Sincerely.

props on the background music-- pleasantly cheesy in a hipster kind of way, and actually in the background-- so many vids have their background music distractingly loud. :-)

Hi Liza, Thank you for your videos! We need
as per Doctor's visit this week to improve balance but standing exercises are not an option. Do you have a Seniors Chair Balance Exercise Routine that would work for Mom, 90 years old, now living at home for Covid Safety. Thank you, Camilla
Dear Camilla: Thank you so much for writing and for your question. Let me see what we can do to oblige. Some of the seated videos on this channel to take balance into account, though not devoted to balance specifically. I hope they could help your mom, and will look into producing another video focusing on balance. Thank you for watching and for your input and our sincere best to your mom.
