this is a new favorite - thanks for posting and yes, I wish there were more videos to help housebound seniors who don't have access to fitness/physio otherwise. In my case, I'm aging and noticing it - and I'm not living in Canada now so it's really hard- I live in some remote area of South America where the elderly have very few resources unless they're wealthy and can travel or live comfortably in large cities. And then, there's "the way" - the gentle, courteous way the physio/health instructor shows the exercises. I miss Canada and the gentle "Canadian ways" most elderly people are treated a lot. Please don't ever stop saying "sorry" (I'm referring to those times I find people making fun of Canadian traditional politeness).

I wish CBC and others would do more of these service to community videos.

Good but the music is distracting (annoying).

With the black floor and the black clothes it is hard to see what you are doing

I found a product online called REDWOOD Natural Nitric Oxide Booster. It provides improved circulatory support. I read its product reviews and people are writing saying it makes them feel young again.
