I am 83 and stopped going to my Silver Sneakers class at the local YMCA because of Covid. Then I found your YouTube. I have been doing it many, many mornings over a lot of months. You may have made it in 2015, but many of us have been ushered out of our pandemic chairs because of you. I appreciate that it exercises all the different muscles. Sheila Scott 5-17-22

My favorite. You are awesome, Jolene. Passed your video on to all my friends and family.

Finally! A wonderful workout. Since the Pandemic, I have neglected my exercise. Jolene, your workout made me feel so much better. I am 71 years old and am the caregiver for my husband. I want to stay strong. God bless you and thank you very much. Please keep up the wonderful and helpful work.

This is the best silver sneakers video ! Fantastic if you want to work out at home. Thanks so much for posting this!

First of all, this is an excellent class & video. Secondly, why on earth would ANYONE give this video a thumbs down? Is it because it wasn't what you were searching for? Because the title of the video is Senior Fitness, and in addition to the instructor doing an excellent job, my gosh people, she's getting seniors to move, have fun, and add days & hopefully years to their life. To give this video even one thumbs down, when obviously this group is doing what was intended, is just ridiculous! Nice job Instructor Jolene! ;-)

We are doing amazing things for our senior community with SS!!! If no one has told you today, YOU ARE A BLESSING!!! I am a SS instructor in my area.... with very little SS training but lots of Zumba training. Thank you for a great outline of the class. I hope some of our Seniors find videos like these and realize our classes are for everyone!!!! All fitness levels, all ages, all sizes, all abilities, in a chair, out of a chair.... you get the idea ;) GREAT JOB!!!

Greetings Jolene,
About a year ago I started attending Silver Sneakers programs offered at the Rec Center of Miami University, in Ohio.
Some days weren't good for getting to the classes. I turned to YouTube. What a discovery! After 45 minutes with you I feel I've had a good exercise, with stretching and cardio and your smile. Oh, I don't want to forget the hot pink sneakers.
One additional great advantage, you can join me in my travels. Thanks for putting this on YouTube, all 45 minutes of the class.

I am 57 years old, and have Fibromyalgia so exercise is difficult. THIS is perfect!! Thank you!

Frustrating at Y. Their SS classes are either too slow for me or I can't keep up:) was thrilled to find this, thinking there was nothing just in the middle. They are supposed to be starting a new program but they can't beat this. Maybe I'll introduce them to the way a class should be. Thank you so much for posting this for whatever the reason. God bless you. You are awesome!

During this pandemic you are saving me! Thank you for keeping me moving.

I am a Health and Fitness Director and had to step in to teach a Senior Chair Yoga class and I was very much out of my element. I looked up YouTube videos and watched yours for ideas/inspiration. I wanted to thank you so much because your warm up/choreography helped me complete the class with ease this morning. Keep up the great work!!!

[elisaatkins]

Fantastic job!! I will be teaching for the first time next week. This helps me a great deal. Thank You.

I'm newly certified for SS Classic and I loved this video it was perfect and I saved it to use for practicing, Just need to get the songs written down so that I can use the same ones.

[vickisouder]

I'm so glad you're camera was working, too! You did an excellent job! As a SS instructor, I was able to get some fresh ideas from you! Thank you!

[dawnestall]

This video has helped me so much! I can do it in my home at anytime. This has made all the difference in being able to regain strength, endurance and even improved my balance. Thank you!

[jerijoachim]

I’m a new instructor and love this video! Very helpful! Thank you for leaving it public!
