I love seeing the cat in these videos. Brings much joy to workouts

[jc]

Love to see your kitty cat so well behaved n cute!!!😚

[mariehaverty]

Aw delighted you covered the feet, they carry us around all our lives but maybe don’t get the attention they deserve. Thank you both❤❤🇮🇪

[karenday]

Feet health is so important as we get older. Thank you for sharing!

[sallywright]

Every time I find myself wondering if there is an exercise for something I find your videos! Thank you so much. Every doctor that cares for seniors need to recommend your videos! ❤️ (BTW: Mochi is a star. 🐈, lol)

[MariaSantos-vpiy]

Your cat got very relaxed with your instructions and took a nap....LOL

I just found your channel and I am delighted. I'm 79 yrs. old and must start doing daily exercise. Your videos are exactly what I need to improve my overall health. I've gone through eight videos in a row and already feel more energetic. Thank you!!!

I can't decide what I love most, these exercises or the gigantic fluffy cat spread eagle on the couch. ❤

[staceydroogas]

Just did your foot exercises, twice, as recommended. G.R.E.A.T! Still have to work on my left Ball of Foot Circles coordination: that dang ball wants to raise itself off the floor! I do toe curls without a towel, making sure not to shirk on really tightly curling my toes. I've checked this one into my exercise library! I'm a cat lover. Lost my kittie, Shaak-Ti, the end of 2019. She, too, was shameless in her relaxation poses! Tee hee. Thanks, April, Aiko, and to Mochi for inspiring Mom to make me burst out in giggles...Anastasia

Thank you for these feet exercises! You are right—we do forget about exercising our feet. Love Mom’s comments! Sue Drott

[youngraines]

Little Mochi - groom & sleep. Best life ever! Thumbs up for the new set of exercises!

[gracehill]

Thank you so much for putting out these videos. On Xmas eve was dealing with Covid while recovering from a kidney transplant. It took over a month to recover from Covid which left me very weak and brain fogged. I asked my sis if she could help find some excercises that would help recover strength and she texted me yours. You two are life savers. Up to your 30 min. Walking video now and still doing warm ups and several 10 and 15 min several times a day . Thank you appreciate all the time and energy you two put into making these

[Rlbc]

Thank you for doing a video with exercises for the feet! I plan to do this 2 or 3 times a week. I love the soft, soothing music that you play.

[alisonlyon]

I twisted my ankle a year ago and these exercises really help my right ankle to strengthen you are both such a lovely start to every day thank you so much Alison Lyon.

[Mary-qjgc]

Thank you so much! I am loving all your yes2next exercises...especially the variety and the gentle way you encourage each of us to try our best. Each segment is just right in timing. You move on just as I'm about to give up! Watching both of you at work gives me the confidence to speed up or slow down as necessary. I love the interaction between both of you and I find myself responding to and joining your conversations as if you are really present. You are warm, thoughtful, and entertaining! All this helps me forget that I'm working out. I have only been doing these for the past week but already I am beginning to feel more flexible and hopeful that my overall stiffness is reducing. I cannot adequately explain how grateful I am to you both for providing this service. Thank you!

[terapaula]

Yep. I’m going to do this every day. Love you guys. ❤

[gailfredrickson]

Great exercises to strengthen our ankles. I enjoy exercising with you both and your cat is beautiful!

[nangel]

Great idea. So many people (including myself) have foot/ankle issues, but we don't think of "exercising" them as often as other body parts even though they carry us all day! Some carry more than others lol.

[marybethabordo]

Happy Feet! I love this as much as Mochi loves the couch! Thank you very much!

[katperson]

My feet can be very sore at times so thank you for this workout. I love Mochi being part of the video too.
