Words can't express how grateful I am for the Ahodea e-book. The stretching exercises and guidance in it are truly remarkable. I've gained height and I think this is an incredible resource for anyone looking to enhance their height naturally

I spent the last several weeks packing up, moving most of our stuff, doing an absurd amount of cleaning,getting paint carpet and repairs done and staging our house, so I haven't been able to work out, except in the sense that most days involve 20-50 times going up and down the stairs, carrying things and scrubbing. They just shot the house photos Fridays and we've got a couple of days before we list. There is no way I could have done all of the work I've done over the past weeks without having worked out with you over the last year. Thanks for helping me to have the energy and strength to get all of this done! And thanks for this video because I am sore all over.

Moving is an insane amount of work...but, it also means a lot of physical movement and exercise so you're likely getting in a lot more exercise and steps than you even realize. I wish you all the best with the sale of the house! I'll look forward to seeing you back more regularly when the move is finished:) In the meantime, breathe and stretch.😉

I really appreciate you directing us to make sure our foot is directly under our knee for some of the stretches, as well as all the important details you give so we protect our other body parts. Thank you!

Welcome to my channel, Helen! I'm sorry to read about the injuries but I hope my workouts will help to get you stronger as you recover. Just to help you navigate the channel, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) in both seated and standing workouts, and categorize them all into the playlists. Just look for 'playlists' on the main page and scroll down to where you see the seated options. I also started a second channel dedicated to chair workouts and will add the link for you here: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts I now upload all new seated workouts to the new channel. Lastly, I upload all of the workouts from both channels to my website at www.improvedhealthforseniors.com I hope that helps and I hope you enjoy more of the workouts when you try them out.

@ImprovedHealth

You can absolutely do this every day, whether you've done another workout or not. This is great for getting the body moving in a safe way and all of the stretching will help to prevent injuries from the more challenging workouts. Often we get injured due to lack of flexibility so this will prep you for those, and help to stretch you out after:) On days when you can't find the motivation to work out, this would be great to do.

Hi Jules thank you for a calming stretch routine, do you do a routine that we hold the positions longer please? I keep pausing the video to get benefit from each stretch, as I have been diagnosed with pain syndrome, never knew of such a thing, but apparently that is what i have, so it takes me a wee while longer to get into the stretch, before holding and benefitting from them, I would be most grateful for a reply please.

Hi Bridget, this one in particular is more dynamic stretching so I don't hold the poses very long. I'm going to attach a link for you of all the stretching videos I have created.
