I am glad for finding your Channel! I am 80 years old and I noticed recently, looking at photographs, that I started to have a posture that needs correction. I hope that the exercises you showed will help me. Thank you.

I love your mum she has me laughing everytime I watch you love the exercises too ❤️❤️

[Develo]

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your channel. There are not enough exercise progarms for seniors. Most are geard towards young people.

I can tell this is exactly what I need for rounded shoulders. I do have a weak back and it will help that too. Thank you!

Thank you for Fix Bad Posture exercises. I'm someone who walks with head down. A friend has been telling me recently that she sees me downtown and my head is always down. I want to correct this situation. I need to be vigilant in this endeavour.

I just viewed this one. My posture is ramrod straight., but when I sit at the computer (perhaps an hr. or so/day intermittently, including exercises and stretches), my thoracic and cervical spine begin to hurt as does my trapezius. Looking down for any length of time (reading a book, chopping food, etc.) also brings pain to my entire neck area. These exercises are great for me by providing relief, so thank you for adding this to your list of great exercises and stretches...Anastasia

Having once seen my reflection in a mall window (and not liking the forward head), that has become my "book on my head" reminder. Thank you so much for sharing exercises to improve our posture.
