I think that I may be on the road back to positive thinking…. I just did this 5 minute exercise and found out now uncoordinated I am and this from a life long athlete…. But who has done no more than lift a knife and fork for the last year…..plus gain 20 pounds. Thank you 🙏 I’ll be back …..

i weighed in yesterday at 301lb. today is my first day toward prioritizing my health again and i know it must sound silly, but i managed to do this whole workout and feel good after and i could cry! thank you so much for your work making these.

[Brneyedrose]

Thank you for making videos that are only 5 minutes. For some reason, my brain thinks it’s easier to handle that rather than even 15 minutes or a half hour. I’m really enjoying these shorter video workouts!

[patriciagralewski]

Thank you for making short videos. It is a terrific way to get started. You and your Mom make a great team. Thanks!

[pattysylvester]

I love your Mom’s comments! She’s adorable and fun! 😍

[atikbird]

I love the constant reminder to breath. When working through some pain, you forget to breath... From your constant reminder, I can take this into my everyday, thank you!

I just recently discovered your workouts on YouTube and I'm so excited. I have been too sedentary since retiring and have packed on the pounds. So I've started today with new motivation to do these exercises with you. Five minutes was a stretch for me, but I followed along. I really enjoy you and your mom's comments during the exercise and how easy it is to follow what you are doing. I'm looking forward to getting healthier and more flexible as I will start the last year of my 60's next month. I want to head into my 70's next year with a healthier, more fit and strong body. Thank you for posting your videos and for your encouragement!

Your 5-minute workouts are perfect, and this one has so much variation that I felt like I got a well-rounded morning wake up routine. Thank you both!

So glad I found this! I am 62 with a shoulder replacement, recent neck surgery, and waiting for a knee replacement next year. So many "senior" videos (even beginners) expect you to get on the floor and back up again! Love seeing your mom and having the options for standing or sitting! And, yes, I was sweating at the end!

[cherylweso]

I need to START! And this is doable! And I can still get out the door to my other life on time!

[Lizzifer]

So glad the February challenge, starts off light, it's like a reset and rest after doing the January Challenge. Really appreciate the challenge within a challenge =D
Thanks for everything, my dear dynamic duo! <3

Your Mom is just the sweetest ❤ These were some good exercises that I typically miss. Love your videos for us seniors.

[sharondavidson]

I had my 83 year old mother do this inside while in a storm, just delightful and positive and very encouraging! Thank you and its so gentle and positive.

[gaylesmith]

I love April & Aiko. Absolutely love the exercises -- because I can actually do them!!! Thank you!!

[terapaula]

Thanks! I found the button again. I did the intermediate step this morning. Without Aiko I would not have made it through. What an inspiration she is! My love and gratitude to both of you. Have the best day. Paula

[KarunaTalati]
