Just now did this one. I had some trouble balancing on one leg but kept going! I'm facing 80 BD and doing well, thanks to you two. Yes2Next is a great show!🎉
I'd like to think that I'm 35....but in actuality I'm a bit over twice that. My brain says that I should jump in and to the active part, but...... Well, you know. Thanks for giving us these videos with the alternate version so readily available. Your mom is my hero. lol

Good morning. I’ve been outside watering my vegetable garden before it gets to 103 here today. Thank you for that awesome workout. I do good till I get up from the floor. My vertigo kicks in. I just fought through it, and finished everything. I will never give up.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the workout! Doing so will keep your body strong to work in your garden! 👏 Good idea to water your veggies early in the morning before the temps rise to 103! Wow! That's hot! Proud of you for not giving up and working thru your vertigo! Never give up is a great motto to have! 👏 Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! Stay cool too! ❤️
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed it and getting dewy is always good to do! Keep up the good work to staying strong 💪 and keep moving with us too! See you soon! ❤️
This is my first try and I liked every minute of it; your instructions are clear, it looks easy but requires strength, balance, coordination; I find your idea of performing with your mum brilliant, you two are an example to us all; I reckon I stand between you two about age range. I will be back!
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed it! The first time of many doing this workout, we hope! 👏 Strength workouts keep your muscles strong and as we age building muscle becomes more important to do! Mom says Hi and to keep it going! You are doing your body good! 👏 Look forward to seeing you moving with us again soon! ❤️

Be sure to add a day of rest for your muscles to renew! That's the way to keep them strong! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Thanks for the challenging workout! I especially liked the lunge forward with a twist and the bird dog. I have never done either of those, and I think they will help me. Me coordination in movements that combine arms and legs is not good. I think that is because in the past I did machine exercises where one set of muscles is isolated. Machines are good, but they don’t help with coordination, which is a critical issue for wome over 60. I hope to improve with practice. My legs have weakened over the last five years, and I am determined to get them back strong. Thank you for giving so many great workouts to choose from.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! 👏 Keeping your muscles strong is important as we age, and your coordination will improve too with practice. The more you challenge your brain and muscles the sooner they will be in sync! 👏 You can do it! Keep up the good work to staying strong and keep moving with us too! See you soon! ❤️
Awesome! Congrats on exercising with us for 2 weeks! You're on a roll! Stay with it! You're a young 51 -- this is the perfect time to focus on your health and combat the loss of muscle and bone density that occurs as we age. 👏

Thank you for these workouts. I’m older and like to exercise inside my home, especially when the tree pollen count is very high. Your videos are perfect for me.

Happy the workouts are perfect for you to do inside your home! 👏 You are keeping your heart and muscles strong and also staying safe and away from tree pollen too! YAY! 👏That sounds like a good plan! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
I really enjoy your workouts! I wish I could have done them with my Mom. She is practically immobile now with arthritis, and I am hoping to avoid that. I need a lot of variety in my workouts to keep from getting bored, and your channel has offered so many different types of exercises that i have not found myself dreading the workout. Thanks!
Thank you! Glad you enjoy the workouts and their variety! Doing different workouts work different muscles and that's always a good thing! 👏 Keep it going! You are doing your body good! Hope your mom is doing ok! See you soon! ❤️

Good morning! I like ur channel-u seem to know what ur doing! I am on a Walker and have a balance problem! 2 questions please: 1. Do you have a warm up for someone on a Walker or that can be done sitting down? 2-Do you have a strengthening exercise comparable to the one in this video that I can do while using my Walker or sitting down? Thank you!
Hello, I hope I'm not being rude by "jumping in" but I too have a walker (RA and osteoarthritis in my spine) and if you scroll up to just under the video and click on the channel name, it will take you to her wonderful RUclips home page. There you'll find so, so many fabulous videos for chair exercises, there's even a whole playlist for absolute beginners, to held build strength and balance, which I'm loving. Hope that helps, sending hugs
Thank you, Rosie! You did great explaining our playlists for sys2.083! And no, you were not rude by "jumping in!" You did so to help and that's terrific! Keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Thank you! Rosie's comments below are spot on to find appropriate chair workouts for you to do! Hope you will check out yes2next.com as Rosie suggested and get moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
@@yes2next Rosie is very kind but would you mind, actually letting me know which videos r comparable to the one above in terms of core or strength building for a person on a Walker or sitting down! If u recommend they will b spot on, if I choose, I’ll b guessing! If you don’t have the time to recommend videos, no worries, I bet you r very busy and ur channel is very successful!!! Ty again and ty Rosie!
I love this step up to intermediate! I know I've had a workout now 😅. It would be great if you would say when you are switching sides. I use an iPad to workout and I can't always see you... especially when doing floor work. I am actually keeping up my workouts with you two. As far as ability goes, I'm somewhere in between you. I've been following your workouts 4 or 5 times a week - alternating strength and cardio. I feel a real difference. Thank you!
Hey there! Glad you're enjoying the step up to intermediate level and seeing results from the workouts! 🙌 Thanks for the heads up about the side switches, I'll make sure to incorporate clearer cues in the next videos. Keep crushing those workouts, you're doing awesome! 👏❤️
Thank you and greetings to you in Indonesia! Nice of you to join us! Happy you liked the workout! Keeping your muscles strong is important as we age and strength work builds muscle which is important too! 👏 Keep it going and keep moving and building muscle with us! See you soon! ❤️

Thank you! Glad you liked the work out and the format too! Will certainly take your thoughts into new workouts! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Love this. Especially the glute bridge with weights. It’s great that you two work together to show easier/harder variations of the moves. When I get a hot flush I rest, have water and switch to the easier version and carry on. Eternally grateful to you both for all your videos and tips. Thanks 🙏💜
Thank you! Glad you liked the workout! Good too that you switched to the easier version when needed! That's the way to do it! Your body receives the same good health benefits either way and your are keeping your body safe too! YAY! 👏You are doing your body good! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️

The best things about squats is strengthening legs for those low potties! Loved laughing with you about having the hotel experience. Been there. Experienced that. 🤣
Thank you! So true about the low potties! 👏 You would think there would a universal number for potty heights! But not to worry! Doing squats keeps our legs and core strong to handle the differences easily! Right? Ha! 😉Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
You are very welcome! Thank you for working out with us! Glad you enjoyed the workout! 👏 You gave the muscles in your core and legs a good workout to keep them strong! That's always a good thing to do! Keep up the good work and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
I'd thought I would have finished the 7-Day Intermediate challenge by now, but I had several very hectic days in a row when I wasn't able to make time to work out. I rested yesterday and came back to do this Day 4 challenge this morning. I tried to keep up with April, but I couldn't do the single-leg deadlifts (I tried one or two in the first set but had trouble balancing, so went back to the regular deadlifts for the rest of the workout.) I used 5-pound weights for all the exercises that used weights, including the glute bridges in the 2nd & 3rd sets. I had a little trouble balancing on the lunge-and-twist moves but mostly was able to manage those. I had a lot of trouble balancing doing the bird-dogs (especially with the left arm and right leg) and didn't get them right until the third set. For the first set, I decided to start over with knee-ups like Aiko, but I added the extra challenge of bringing my elbow to my knee. I'm not sure if my feeling off-balance today is due to not working out for a few days, feeling a little under-the-weather in general, setting up my floor mat in a very narrow area, or a combination of all these factors. I hope to try this workout again sometime when I'm feeling better, and meanwhile I'm looking forward to Day 5!
Thank you! You are definitely keeping yourself going! Sorry you are not feeling well! The Intermediate Challenge would be challenging on days when you are feeling good and certainly a bit harder when your body is feeling a bit off! Modifying the moves to keep you moving was good though! Your heart and muscles got a good workout! But why not take a rest day for your mind and body and chill! No work outs for a day or two! Always good to rest and renew! Day 5 will wait for you! Hope you feel better soon! ❤️
@@yes2next Thanks so much for your good wishes and advice, April!♥ I actually did manage to do the Day 5 workout on Monday and felt better for doing so, but I took it easier today and did your gentler and shorter 10-minute energizer workout instead, mostly because I had to get out pretty early this morning and wasn't able to get up early enough to fit in a half hour workout. I'm hoping to move on to the Day 6 Challenge tomorrow, but it's going to be another out-early day for me, so I'll keep your advice in mind and not push myself to get to it if it's too hard to make the time for it. Thanks and hugs to you, your mom, and Mochi 😺.
Thank you! Keep doing the workout and your muscles will get stronger and you will breeze through the workout with ease! You can do it! 👏 Keep at it and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️

Hi April, love your workouts. They help so much especially on days when I need some motivation to move! Would it be possible to design a short after dinner workout? Nowadays, the doctor is recommending a walk after dinner, and it isn't always possible to head out for one. Thank you.

How long is it going to take to rebuild my muscles ? I have found I really needed these strength training. I’m 67 and have broken bones in the past years. Thank you
So proud of you for focusing on building muscle! At your young age of 67, it is very important to do strength training to combat the loss of muscle and bone mass that naturally occurs. The time it takes to build muscle can vary depending on the person -- age, gender, nutrition, training intensity, and consistency can all play a role. However, many people begin to notice some changes in muscle tone and strength within a few weeks to a couple of months of consistent training. Significant visible changes might take several months to a year or more. Consistency is key. Regular, progressive resistance training is crucial for building muscle. Aim for at least 2-3 days of strength training per week, targeting major muscle groups. Muscles need time to repair and grow stronger. Make sure to get enough sleep and allow at least 48 hours of rest between working the same muscle groups. Overtraining can hinder progress, so listen to your body when you feel sore or tired. We're honored to help you get stronger -- we're cheering you on! 👏❤️
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! You did your body good! Strength workouts are so important to keeping the muscles strong and building muscle is the way to do it too! 💪Keep it going and keep moving and building muscles will us! See you soon! ❤️

Hi April! Have recently begun following your videos and find your approach so scientific and doable. For the first time in my life I don't feel exhausted after exercise of any kind. On the contrary I feel rejunevated. Thank you so much for your guidance. A question- I am 66. For strength training what are the various weights that I should use? I only have 1 kg dumbells which I use for all the exercises where you use weights. Awaiting your reply. Thanks.
It is truly a joy and gift to hear you feel rejuvenated with our workouts. We are so proud you for making a commitment to get stronger and are honored to be by your side. Everyone's strength level is different, so what might be considered "light" for one person may be challenging for another. The weight you use depends on your current strength level, and the exercise itself. 1 kg is an excellent weight to start with for strength training. It also a good weight to use with our walking and cardio workouts if you want more challenge (if and when they feel heavy put them down). With strength training, the amount of weight you use can vary depending on the exercise. For example, I recommend using lighter weights for shoulder exercises compared to bicep curls and rows. (The shoulder joint is highly mobile and has a wide range of motion. It is also relatively vulnerable to injury, especially if you use excessively heavy weights or improper form. Using lighter weights can reduce the risk of overloading the shoulder joint and causing injury.) Here is a link to our blog and video on how to select the right weight: bit.ly/36XbTDs You are a young 66! We applaud you for focusing on building muscle that will combat the loss of muscle and bone density that naturally occurs as we age. Keep up the great work and see you soon! 👏❤️

Challenging but gooood! One question - on the last exercise, I need something between you and your mom - would standing knee raises with opposite elbow to knee (no wall) be an ok substitute?
whoa. One round at Mom's level plus the cool down was it for me the first time =) Bit of a brain scrambler watching you ladies do two different levels at the same time, lol! Brain got a good workout too thank you =)
Thank you! You did great! 👏Working out at Mom's pace for the first time is the way to go! You did your body good! Always good to give your brain some action too! 👏 Maybe next time it's not mom's pace but the intermediate pace that will keep your brain focused. Either way is good to get your heart and muscles moving! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️

Hi there! Here is a link to your workouts with bands -- with handles and without -- which are like therabands: ruclips.net/p/PLjv8dGZeugtVdSeuEpTuTRrC2pKvYMgBN&si=CAIHHoa22DfQ0zhW Keep building muscle! 💪
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed it! Stretching is always good for your muscles and strength training keeps them strong too! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Hi there! Since this is primarily a strength workout, there are about 300 steps total in this workout (150 steps in the warm up alone). Want more steps? Pair this with one of our walking workouts. 😊 🏃♀️
I've given up on the Japanese toilets where you have to squat at the floor! I wonder if I stick with exercises like these if I'd be able to use them again... Do I even want to?
That's a very good question! 👏The Japanese low to the floor toilets are a good test of your glutes and legs for sure but if you can choose, then go with the flow (no pun intended) and check for a normal standing ones! Ha! 😉Toilet heights vary so it's always good to look and see how high or low you have to go! 🚽 Keep doing the chair squats and all will be well! Thanks for your question! Ha! 😉 Always good to see you! ❤️
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed the workout! Strength workouts help to keep your muscles strong and strong muscles build more muscle so that's aways a good thing! 👏Mom says Hi and nice to know you are about her age! Young "kids" have to stick together! 😉 Keep up the good work and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Hi there! So proud of you for making a commitment to get healthier. Everyday, you can do cardio/walking, balance work, and or stretching everyday. (We have videos in all of these areas.) Any amount of time is great -- it's important to start moving at your level and build up time and intensity gradually. Strength training like this workout can be done 2 or 3 times a week with at least one day of rest between working muscle groups to allow them to recover. Listen to your body and if you feel sore or tired, rest. Let us know how long you typically walk and do strength training and we can recommend specific videos. Keep up the great work!! 👏
I followed "7000 Steps Walking Workout for Seniors & Beginners, Low Impact" in the morning and "Strength Training for Walking, Seniors Beginner & Intermediate" in he afternoon and do not feel anything unusual . I am age over 60 and from Taiwan . I will keep going with your exercises everyday. Thank you for your quick response. @@yes2next
😅 Funny story, I slipped and fell in the shower in 2020 and snapped my leg, couldnt get up, had to call an ambulance. Ambulance crew relays the story to the ER DR, and then he walks in my room and pauses, checks the room number, and says "i thought youd be older" 😂 I was 34
Thank you for sharing! I guess it's automatic to think that someone who has fallen is a senior person! ha! 😉 But it certainly can happen to anyone young or old! Hope you have recovered from any effects from the accident! See you soon! ❤️
That was hard ! 🥵Thank you ladies 🙏 I had stopped practicing for 15 days without any reason but laziness. I'm ashamed of myself because I lost strength and stamina. I was only able to do 2 sets (intermediate) I really must stop listening to my laziness ! 🥱😡😈
Thank you! It's okay to take a break for a while! Don't be too hard on yourself! But it is so much better for your heart and muscles to exercise! Doing the 2 sets of intermediate exercising is a good way to get back to moving! 👏 It's good too to stop listening to your "laziness" voice and tune up the volume of your "get moving" voice! That's the way to do it! 😉 Good to see you again! Keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
You workouts are the best!! I just turned 65 and find them so helpful for this stage in my life. Your mom inspires me and love her sense of humor😊
Thank you! Happy you enjoy them! It's great that as a young 65yo you are exercising to stay strong! That's the way to do it! 👏 Mom says Hi and thanks for your kind words! You motivate her to keep moving too! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
I love your mother, I'm at her pace 🥰
Thank you! Mom says Hi and YAY! That's the way to do it! 👏 Mom's pace still gets your heart and muscles moving and that's always the important thing! Building muscle at mom's pace gives you stronger muscles too!
Keep it going and keep moving with mom! See you soon! ❤️
You two are a GREAT pair! ❤️❤️👍👍
Thank you! Nice of you to say so! Glad you enjoy the workouts! Keep it going to stay strong and keep moving with us too! 👏 See you soon! ❤️
I love your workouts! Thanks for getting the core involved in this one.Good job to your Mom for inspiring everyone to show that age is not a hindrance to staying active. 😊
Thank you! Happy you enjoy them! Keeping the core muscles strong is important and strength workouts help to do so! Keep working your core! Mom says Hi and thanks for your kind words! Age is only a number and if mom can do it, so can you! 👏 Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Just now did this one. I had some trouble balancing on one leg but kept going! I'm facing 80 BD and doing well, thanks to you two. Yes2Next is a great show!🎉
I'd like to think that I'm 35....but in actuality I'm a bit over twice that. My brain says that I should jump in and to the active part, but...... Well, you know. Thanks for giving us these videos with the alternate version so readily available. Your mom is my hero. lol
Thank you! Glad you enjoy the workouts! Age is only a number and being young in heart will always be best! It's never too late to start moving! Mom says Hi and loves ❤️having your company in doing the moves! Let the young'uns do their thing! Mom and you are still working your heart and muscles and that's the important thing! Keep moving with us! See you soon! 👏❤️

I’m right there with you. I try to do too much and end up in trouble. My brain isn’t accepting the fact I’m old😂
The fun is that we all building things up on our own level and strength and age. You are helping us because sportschool in Europe are only for the young and this you can do when you have time and the way you want it.
This is far more relaxed and that is also quiet important. 😊
Thank you for your kind words! Happy you like the workouts! Exercising is one of the best things you can do to stay healthy and strong! ❤️ Glad you are doing so! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
For all the times you both made me laugh. Aiko is an inspiration!
Thank you! Happy you enjoy the workout moments! 👏 Mom says Hi and thanks for your sweet words! She says to keep moving with us and will look for you at our next workout! See you soon! ❤️
Have been doing workouts with you for about 3 months now. You're doing a great job with your mom. Even got my husband off the couch ! Keep up the wonderful work!!
Thank you! Happy to know you have been working out with us for 3mos! That's terrific and getting hubby off the couch to exercise is double terrific! 👏YAY! Hubbys make great workout buds and working out together means you both will stay strong and healthy together too! 👏 That's the way to do it! Keep up the good work and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
You both are incredible. Wonderful workout as usual, April. I like that it wasn't at a beginner's level. Thank you so much! 🩷🩷💓
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed the workout! Strength workouts are a good test, and it looks like you may be ready to up the energy level and aim for an intermediate pace. 👏 Nice! You are getting stronger! 👏 Keep challenging yourself! That's the way to stay strong! You can do it! Keep moving with us too! See you soon! ❤️
@yes2next love your words of encouragement. Thank you so much, April! Yes, please, more intermediate workouts. I love that you cater to all ages, and fitness levels. ❤️❤️

I can really feel my muscles strengthening when i do this work out 🙂
I am 72 years old and have a spinal injury along with kyphosis so these exercises are a huge help, like your Mom, at my own pace and comfort.
She is a terrific virtual exercise buddy for those like me, who watch their pace.
Absolutely great 😊
Thank you! Happy you liked the workout, and you can feel it strengthening your muscles too! That's great! 👏 As a young 72yo it's terrific that you are exercising! Doing so will help your body to stay strong and to provide support in dealing with your limitations! 👏 Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
@yes2next I have severe chronic fatigue and am just getting slowly back up on my feet after experiencing a crash which has lasted months. I did one of your gentle stretching workouts this morning. Love you guys xxxxxx
Thank you! Hope you are feeling stronger and better soon! Glad our gentle stretching workout helped. Do any of our gentle workouts slowly and at a pace that is comfortable for you! Slo Mo is good! No need to rush! 👏 The important thing is you are working your heart and muscles and that's always a good thing to do! If you need to rest do so! Start with 5min then add another 5min! Your body will know the feeling of moving again and help you to recover! You can do it! Keep it going and keep moving with us! Hope you feel much stronger soon! ❤️
Good workout! Challenging for a 76 year old lady with arthritis, but I hung in there. Looking forward to building more strength. Thank you.
Thank you! Glad you liked the workout, and you kept on going! That's the way to do it! 👏 Keep challenging yourself! As a young 76yo it's terrific that you are exercising, and good that you are doing strength workouts to keep your muscles strong! 👏As we age building muscle and keeping them strong is important for your well-being and being strong and fit in the later years is the best! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Good morning. I’ve been outside watering my vegetable garden before it gets to 103 here today. Thank you for that awesome workout. I do good till I get up from the floor. My vertigo kicks in. I just fought through it, and finished everything. I will never give up.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the workout! Doing so will keep your body strong to work in your garden! 👏 Good idea to water your veggies early in the morning before the temps rise to 103! Wow! That's hot! Proud of you for not giving up and working thru your vertigo! Never give up is a great motto to have! 👏 Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! Stay cool too! ❤️
Wooh! Nice sweating it out with you both, feels good always after work- out. Thanks again😊😊
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed it and getting dewy is always good to do! Keep up the good work to staying strong 💪 and keep moving with us too! See you soon! ❤️
This is my first try and I liked every minute of it; your instructions are clear, it looks easy but requires strength, balance, coordination; I find your idea of performing with your mum brilliant, you two are an example to us all; I reckon I stand between you two about age range. I will be back!
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed it! The first time of many doing this workout, we hope! 👏 Strength workouts keep your muscles strong and as we age building muscle becomes more important to do! Mom says Hi and to keep it going! You are doing your body good! 👏 Look forward to seeing you moving with us again soon! ❤️
I just found this one today and it's great! Thanks for all you and your sweet mother do to keep us moving.
Thank you! Happy you found us too and pleased you enjoyed the workout! You did your body good! 👏 Mom says Hi and thanks much for your kind words! She hopes you will keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️

This one is great!! I'm sure that I'll get stronger with this one.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it and guess what? You will get stronger by doing the workout again! 👏 You can do it! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Loved this workout ❤ always challenging and fun. I love listening to you and your mom interacting with each other.
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed the workout! The leg and core muscles do a lot of work to keep your body moving so it's doubly good that you work to keep them strong! 👏 Keep it going! You are doing great! Keep moving with us too! See you soon! ❤️
What a delight to workout with the two of you!! Thank you for encouraging me to "up my game" by using my seldom used 8 pound weights.
Thank you! That's great to know! Glad you enjoyed the workout and pleased you have "upped your game" and are using 8lb weights! YAY! Excellent! 💪 Keep it going! Be sure to add a day of rest for your muscles to renew! That's the way to keep them strong! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Thanks for the challenging workout! I especially liked the lunge forward with a twist and the bird dog. I have never done either of those, and I think they will help me. Me coordination in movements that combine arms and legs is not good. I think that is because in the past I did machine exercises where one set of muscles is isolated. Machines are good, but they don’t help with coordination, which is a critical issue for wome over 60. I hope to improve with practice. My legs have weakened over the last five years, and I am determined to get them back strong. Thank you for giving so many great workouts to choose from.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! 👏 Keeping your muscles strong is important as we age, and your coordination will improve too with practice. The more you challenge your brain and muscles the sooner they will be in sync! 👏 You can do it! Keep up the good work to staying strong and keep moving with us too! See you soon! ❤️
Been doing your workouts and stretching videos for 2 weeks! This is going on 3 weeks. I love them, 51 and out of shape 😂
Awesome! Congrats on exercising with us for 2 weeks! You're on a roll! Stay with it! You're a young 51 -- this is the perfect time to focus on your health and combat the loss of muscle and bone density that occurs as we age. 👏
This one wasn't easy. but was able to get through it. Thank you.
Thank you! YAY! You did it! 👏 Proud of you for challenging yourself and finishing the workout! You did your heart and muscles good! That's the way to stay strong! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Thank you for these workouts. I’m older and like to exercise inside my home, especially when the tree pollen count is very high. Your videos are perfect for me.
You are very welcome! Thanks much for working out with us! Happy the workouts are perfect for you to do inside your home! 👏 You are keeping your heart and muscles strong and also staying safe and away from tree pollen too! YAY! 👏That sounds like a good plan! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
I really enjoy your workouts! I wish I could have done them with my Mom. She is practically immobile now with arthritis, and I am hoping to avoid that. I need a lot of variety in my workouts to keep from getting bored, and your channel has offered so many different types of exercises that i have not found myself dreading the workout. Thanks!
Thank you! Glad you enjoy the workouts and their variety! Doing different workouts work different muscles and that's always a good thing! 👏 Keep it going! You are doing your body good! Hope your mom is doing ok! See you soon! ❤️
Wow,,,well done girls,just brilliant!! Lots of love, Bridget UK ❤xxx
Thank you and hello to you in the UK! Nice to see you! Glad you enjoyed the workout! 👏Keeping your muscles strong is important to do! Plus, strong muscles build more muscle too! YAY! That's the way to staying strong! 💪 Keep up the good work and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Loved your workout, and by the way, Bird dog is a Yoga move (Parsva Balasana!)
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the workout! You did your heart and muscles good! That's the way to stay strong! 👏 Appreciate your info on Bird dog too! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️

I did this work out today and loved it. I did a few of the “ bird dog” but couldn’t do many. Thank you for intermediate exercises. I’m getting stronger every day. Thank you !
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the workout and great that you feel stronger too! 💪 As you get stronger, you will find yourself doing the routines you couldn't do before! YAY!
That the way to do it! Keep it going! You are doing good! Keep moving with us too! See you soon! ❤️
Excellent workout to challenge the muscles in the lower back. Definitely need to repeat. ❤

That's the way to do it! 💪 Yoga is practice and the more you do it the more your muscles will become more flexible but stronger too! It's also a calming feeling for your mind and body! Try a few moves a day at first! You can do it! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
I am now doing this 5 days a week, you are awesome! adore you guys.
Thank you! That's terrific! Strength workouts are important to keeping your muscles strong and strong muscles build muscle which is good to do! 👏But think about giving your muscles a day of rest to renew and to reduce any injury.

Thank you so much❤❤❤
You are very welcome! Glad you enjoyed it! 👏 Keeping your muscles strong 💪is important and strength workouts will help to do so! Nice work! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Good morning! I like ur channel-u seem to know what ur doing!
I am on a Walker and have a balance problem! 2 questions please: 1. Do you have a warm up for someone on a Walker or that can be done sitting down?
2-Do you have a strengthening exercise comparable to the one in this video that I can do while using my Walker or sitting down?
Thank you!
Hello, I hope I'm not being rude by "jumping in" but I too have a walker (RA and osteoarthritis in my spine) and if you scroll up to just under the video and click on the channel name, it will take you to her wonderful RUclips home page. There you'll find so, so many fabulous videos for chair exercises, there's even a whole playlist for absolute beginners, to held build strength and balance, which I'm loving. Hope that helps, sending hugs
Thank you, Rosie! You did great explaining our playlists for sys2.083! And no, you were not rude by "jumping in!" You did so to help and that's terrific! Keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Thank you! Rosie's comments below are spot on to find appropriate chair workouts for you to do! Hope you will check out yes2next.com as Rosie suggested and get moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
@@yes2next Rosie is very kind but would you mind, actually letting me know which videos r comparable to the one above in terms of core or strength building for a person on a Walker or sitting down! If u recommend they will b spot on, if I choose, I’ll b guessing! If you don’t have the time to recommend videos, no worries, I bet you r very busy and ur channel is very successful!!! Ty again and ty Rosie!
@@yes2next 😊🥰💖hugs ❤
I love this step up to intermediate! I know I've had a workout now 😅. It would be great if you would say when you are switching sides. I use an iPad to workout and I can't always see you... especially when doing floor work. I am actually keeping up my workouts with you two. As far as ability goes, I'm somewhere in between you. I've been following your workouts 4 or 5 times a week - alternating strength and cardio. I feel a real difference. Thank you!
Hey there! Glad you're enjoying the step up to intermediate level and seeing results from the workouts! 🙌 Thanks for the heads up about the side switches, I'll make sure to incorporate clearer cues in the next videos. Keep crushing those workouts, you're doing awesome! 👏❤️
from Indonesia here. thank you April n Aiko
Thank you and greetings to you in Indonesia! Nice of you to join us! Happy you liked the workout! Keeping your muscles strong is important as we age and strength work builds muscle which is important too! 👏 Keep it going and keep moving and building muscle with us! See you soon! ❤️

Really appreciate this one as it’s got all 3 sets for us to follow along with rather than rewinding the video . This can be fiddly on the phone.It’s much easier and flows better. More like this please . Thanks❤
Thank you! Glad you liked the work out and the format too! Will certainly take your thoughts into new workouts! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Love this. Especially the glute bridge with weights. It’s great that you two work together to show easier/harder variations of the moves. When I get a hot flush I rest, have water and switch to the easier version and carry on. Eternally grateful to you both for all your videos and tips. Thanks 🙏💜
Thank you! Glad you liked the workout! Good too that you switched to the easier version when needed! That's the way to do it!

Hi April and mom, I did upper body yesterday so decided to do this one today. I am dewy. I missed Mochi.
Thank you! Good to see you! Glad you enjoyed this workout and pleased to know you did the upper body workout! yesterday!

The best things about squats is strengthening legs for those low potties! Loved laughing with you about having the hotel experience. Been there. Experienced that. 🤣
Thank you! So true about the low potties! 👏 You would think there would a universal number for potty heights! But not to worry! Doing squats keeps our legs and core strong to handle the differences easily! Right? Ha! 😉Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Thanks for everything
It was great
You are very welcome! Thank you for working out with us! Glad you enjoyed the workout! 👏 You gave the muscles in your core and legs a good workout to keep them strong! That's always a good thing to do! Keep up the good work and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
I'd thought I would have finished the 7-Day Intermediate challenge by now, but I had several very hectic days in a row when I wasn't able to make time to work out. I rested yesterday and came back to do this Day 4 challenge this morning. I tried to keep up with April, but I couldn't do the single-leg deadlifts (I tried one or two in the first set but had trouble balancing, so went back to the regular deadlifts for the rest of the workout.) I used 5-pound weights for all the exercises that used weights, including the glute bridges in the 2nd & 3rd sets. I had a little trouble balancing on the lunge-and-twist moves but mostly was able to manage those. I had a lot of trouble balancing doing the bird-dogs (especially with the left arm and right leg) and didn't get them right until the third set. For the first set, I decided to start over with knee-ups like Aiko, but I added the extra challenge of bringing my elbow to my knee. I'm not sure if my feeling off-balance today is due to not working out for a few days, feeling a little under-the-weather in general, setting up my floor mat in a very narrow area, or a combination of all these factors. I hope to try this workout again sometime when I'm feeling better, and meanwhile I'm looking forward to Day 5!
Thank you! You are definitely keeping yourself going! Sorry you are not feeling well! The Intermediate Challenge would be challenging on days when you are feeling good and certainly a bit harder when your body is feeling a bit off! Modifying the moves to keep you moving was good though! Your heart and muscles got a good workout! But why not take a rest day for your mind and body and chill! No work outs for a day or two! Always good to rest and renew! Day 5 will wait for you! Hope you feel better soon! ❤️
@@yes2next Thanks so much for your good wishes and advice, April!♥ I actually did manage to do the Day 5 workout on Monday and felt better for doing so, but I took it easier today and did your gentler and shorter 10-minute energizer workout instead, mostly because I had to get out pretty early this morning and wasn't able to get up early enough to fit in a half hour workout. I'm hoping to move on to the Day 6 Challenge tomorrow, but it's going to be another out-early day for me, so I'll keep your advice in mind and not push myself to get to it if it's too hard to make the time for it. Thanks and hugs to you, your mom, and Mochi 😺.
😮that is a hard one! Thank you!
Thank you! Keep doing the workout and your muscles will get stronger and you will breeze through the workout with ease! You can do it! 👏 Keep at it and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️

Hi April, love your workouts. They help so much especially on days when I need some motivation to move! Would it be possible to design a short after dinner workout? Nowadays, the doctor is recommending a walk after dinner, and it isn't always possible to head out for one. Thank you.
Hi there! I am so happy you enjoy our workouts! My mom and I love to inspire you. We would be delighted to design a short after dinner workout. In the meantime, we invite you to try any of our existing walking workouts -- in the 10 to 30 minute range are nice choices: bit.ly/38fEAtj Keep moving and see you soon! ❤️

How long is it going to take to rebuild my muscles ? I have found I really needed these strength training. I’m 67 and have broken bones in the past years. Thank you
So proud of you for focusing on building muscle! At your young age of 67, it is very important to do strength training to combat the loss of muscle and bone mass that naturally occurs. The time it takes to build muscle can vary depending on the person -- age, gender, nutrition, training intensity, and consistency can all play a role. However, many people begin to notice some changes in muscle tone and strength within a few weeks to a couple of months of consistent training. Significant visible changes might take several months to a year or more. Consistency is key. Regular, progressive resistance training is crucial for building muscle. Aim for at least 2-3 days of strength training per week, targeting major muscle groups. Muscles need time to repair and grow stronger. Make sure to get enough sleep and allow at least 48 hours of rest between working the same muscle groups. Overtraining can hinder progress, so listen to your body when you feel sore or tired. We're honored to help you get stronger -- we're cheering you on! 👏❤️

Hi April!
Have recently begun following your videos and find your approach so scientific and doable. For the first time in my life I don't feel exhausted after exercise of any kind. On the contrary I feel rejunevated. Thank you so much for your guidance.
A question-
I am 66. For strength training what are the various weights that I should use? I only have 1 kg dumbells which I use for all the exercises where you use weights. Awaiting your reply. Thanks.
It is truly a joy and gift to hear you feel rejuvenated with our workouts. We are so proud you for making a commitment to get stronger and are honored to be by your side. Everyone's strength level is different, so what might be considered "light" for one person may be challenging for another. The weight you use depends on your current strength level, and the exercise itself. 1 kg is an excellent weight to start with for strength training. It also a good weight to use with our walking and cardio workouts if you want more challenge (if and when they feel heavy put them down). With strength training, the amount of weight you use can vary depending on the exercise. For example, I recommend using lighter weights for shoulder exercises compared to bicep curls and rows. (The shoulder joint is highly mobile and has a wide range of motion. It is also relatively vulnerable to injury, especially if you use excessively heavy weights or improper form. Using lighter weights can reduce the risk of overloading the shoulder joint and causing injury.) Here is a link to our blog and video on how to select the right weight: bit.ly/36XbTDs You are a young 66! We applaud you for focusing on building muscle that will combat the loss of muscle and bone density that naturally occurs as we age. Keep up the great work and see you soon! 👏❤️

Challenging but gooood! One question - on the last exercise, I need something between you and your mom - would standing knee raises with opposite elbow to knee (no wall) be an ok substitute?
Standing knee raises with opposite elbow to knee is an excellent substitute! Keep up the awesome work! 👏
whoa. One round at Mom's level plus the cool down was it for me the first time =) Bit of a brain scrambler watching you ladies do two different levels at the same time, lol! Brain got a good workout too thank you =)
Thank you! You did great! 👏Working out at Mom's pace for the first time is the way to go! You did your body good! Always good to give your brain some action too! 👏 Maybe next time it's not mom's pace but the intermediate pace that will keep your brain focused. Either way is good to get your heart and muscles moving! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Another Academy Award winner vid, Aiko and April!
Could not do the floor work due to mobility issues.
April…. I love your taste in home decor, although I must admit I have not seen a marijuana plant that large inside a home😂😂
We humbly accept this award and want to thank you and the entire yes2next family for your amazing support and inspiration! 🏆 😊 Great job completing this workout! Glad you like our home decor and awesome plant choice! 😆

Did the bridge seated and the bird dog on the wall with opposing arm and leg lifted. Floor is out of the question for now.
Thank you! Great effort even without doing the floor work! 👏The bridge and bird dog moves are challenging and by doing them you gave your muscles a good workout to get strong and to stay strong! That's the way to do it! 👏 Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
today i thought i would do something differant, and it was a challenge to me next time i will do more of it standing up
Thank you! Good to see you! Great to keep challenging yourself to do different things! That's the way to stay strong and doing it seated gives your body the same good health benefits! 👏 As you get stronger a standing workout will be easy peasy! 👏Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
@@yes2next what do you think about starting with a 5min standing at the start?
@@yes2next thank you and i will keep moving with you
Have you made any videos with thera bands?
Hi there! Here is a link to your workouts with bands -- with handles and without -- which are like therabands: ruclips.net/p/PLjv8dGZeugtVdSeuEpTuTRrC2pKvYMgBN&si=CAIHHoa22DfQ0zhW Keep building muscle! 💪

@@yes2next Thank you,April and Aiko l do 2hrs different type of exercises 6 day's I'm your mother's age. Bless you both .
That's terrific! Keep it going! You are doing great! ❤️
I've given up on the Japanese toilets where you have to squat at the floor! I wonder if I stick with exercises like these if I'd be able to use them again... Do I even want to?
That's a very good question! 👏The Japanese low to the floor toilets are a good test of your glutes and legs for sure but if you can choose, then go with the flow (no pun intended) and check for a normal standing ones! Ha! 😉Toilet heights vary so it's always good to look and see how high or low you have to go! 🚽 Keep doing the chair squats and all will be well! Thanks for your question! Ha! 😉 Always good to see you! ❤️
I li,e to do your workout with you and your Mom I am about your Mom age.
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed the workout! Strength workouts help to keep your muscles strong and strong muscles build more muscle so that's aways a good thing! 👏Mom says Hi and nice to know you are about her age! Young "kids" have to stick together! 😉 Keep up the good work and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
❤❤❤❤
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed the workout! Keep it going! You did your body good! Keep moving with us too! See you soon! ❤️
I followed your video everyday I feel so good but someone told me do not do it everyday, what is the right one, could you tell me.
Hi there! So proud of you for making a commitment to get healthier. Everyday, you can do cardio/walking, balance work, and or stretching everyday. (We have videos in all of these areas.) Any amount of time is great -- it's important to start moving at your level and build up time and intensity gradually. Strength training like this workout can be done 2 or 3 times a week with at least one day of rest between working muscle groups to allow them to recover. Listen to your body and if you feel sore or tired, rest. Let us know how long you typically walk and do strength training and we can recommend specific videos. Keep up the great work!! 👏
I followed "7000 Steps Walking Workout for Seniors & Beginners, Low Impact" in the morning and "Strength Training for Walking, Seniors Beginner & Intermediate" in he afternoon and do not feel anything unusual . I am age over 60 and from Taiwan . I will keep going with your exercises everyday. Thank you for your quick response.

😅 Funny story, I slipped and fell in the shower in 2020 and snapped my leg, couldnt get up, had to call an ambulance. Ambulance crew relays the story to the ER DR, and then he walks in my room and pauses, checks the room number, and says "i thought youd be older" 😂 I was 34
Thank you for sharing! I guess it's automatic to think that someone who has fallen is a senior person! ha! 😉 But it certainly can happen to anyone young or old! Hope you have recovered from any effects from the accident! See you soon! ❤️
❤❤❤💪💪💪👍👍👍
Thank you! Keep up the good work and keep moving and building muscle 💪 with us! See you soon! ❤️❤️❤️
That was hard ! 🥵Thank you ladies 🙏
I had stopped practicing for 15 days without any reason but laziness. I'm ashamed of myself because I lost strength and stamina. I was only able to do 2 sets (intermediate) I really must stop listening to my laziness ! 🥱😡😈
Thank you! It's okay to take a break for a while! Don't be too hard on yourself! But it is so much better for your heart and muscles to exercise! Doing the 2 sets of intermediate exercising is a good way to get back to moving! 👏 It's good too to stop listening to your "laziness" voice and tune up the volume of your "get moving" voice! That's the way to do it! 😉 Good to see you again! Keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
