Thanks for today exercise 💪 it's very helpful to my mobility

[staceydroogas]

I've done this routine several times before but forgot to give it a thumbs up. A good ending to the seated exercise package. I wasn't fooled, parts of this routine also worked the arms and shoulders, too. Short, sweet, and effective...Anastasia

[chanpadma]

I like these exercises, they are short and effective.

[bonniehouston]

Thank you Mike. I have started doing these with my husband who is in a wheelchair to keep his legs strong so that he can continue to self transfer. They are very helpful along with seated arm exercises and neck exercises

[reenielane]

I’m recovering from shin splints and these seated exercises were great! Do you have any stretches specifically for knee s?

[dstedman]

4 Stretch for seniors today: I had a fantastic moment of clarity. I noticed something that I have been doing that is so wrong it borderlines on cheating🤣 when I do the sit-to-stand exercise: I get into a rocking motion; thus, I'm not using my legs to push my bum up like I should be doing. Now that I'm aware, I will make the proper corrections for tomorrow's exercises. The other thing I notice is that I hold my shoulders up, causing tension on my neck and shoulder. I know you always tell us shoulders up and down, but I don't relax my shoulder muscles. Some of my pain is from a torn rotator cuff injury I sustained using the resistance band because I'm always in a hurry and have to pull as hard as I can even though I'm not 21 like I think I am. Ugh

[mrsjuniormjojo]

How many of these 5 minute exercises are there please {for legs and knees}

[gmavon]

Is it necessary to do any warm up before this exercise? I noticed some discomfort in my knee. Thank you. I am very encouraged by the 5 minute exercises.

[mariacurrie]

I've been told I have hip bursitis. Can you recommend any particular exercises for this condition, please? I'm 62 years of age !.
