Hello Bruce 😀🙏 Welcome here! Super proud of you 👏 👏👏👏👏 Great job and 84, even better! Do check out the other routines on here and subscribe ✅️ If you like the bands I have heaps of band routines on the Resistance Band Playlist! Post a comment on each video you do so I can help you and reply and I love hearing people's progress on here too ✨️💯 Reach out if you need any help at all!
Perfect video to give me a solid upper body workout while my legs are recovering from your HIIT video a couple days ago and my one mile race last night. Next will pick a good stretching video from your playlist.
My Dear Vanessa, I am currently in Physical Therapy for my shoulder. I am getting better ❤️🩹, and use your videos to supplement my rehabilitation. You are a GEM 💎
Hi Janelle 🤗✨️ Hope your shoulder is getting better! Happy to hear this is a good compliment to your physical therapy 💪 Keep it up, you are super welcome 🙏
Loved this one - shoulders were sore at the beginning after a big day of volunteer work yesterday cleaning a community pub in the Lake District (The Mardale Inn at St Patricks Well in Bampton) - but loved the bicep curls standing on one leg - could not have done that a few months ago - a great workout for a hotel room or small bedroom!!
Great improvements there Arlene 🙌💯💪 Yep the single leg standing is a good challenge and you did it, yessssss. Good showing your balance and stability is really improving! And doing well with doing all of these while travelling 😀🙌
Hey Stephen 😀🙌 Really sorry this comment slipped through I never saw it! I am so glad this is helpful for you especially while traveling. That is the great thing about the band too :) Let me know if you need any help and I do hope you are checking out the other videos on here to help you 💪😀
My chiropractor was quite surprised by how much my problematic thoracic area has loosened. I've always worked on it a lot at the gym, but it's obvious that using the resistance band (and doing more upper body-concentrated yoga) has made a big difference. I began using your videos because I couldn't go to the gym, and I'm glad that I did. Obviously, I also need resistance band work. (I'm also doing some of the lower body routines as an adjunct to some p.t. exercises.) Thank you, again, for the great workouts.
Hi Diane, welcome! This is excellent to hear. Thoracic tightness is very common and important to keep mobile for your upper body. Really glad these vids have contributed to helping you🤗👌 Great with combining all your different modalities too. Stay consistent with the bands and you will really balance and strengthen the whole body! Well done Diane, let me know if you need help with anything ok!
Love this band for upper body especially the bonus stretch (chest opening) at the end. Prior to the band, I did day 5 in 14 day core challenge and 1.6 mile outdoor walk. Great band workout. Thanks Vanessa ☺️❤️
Thank you ever so much for these shoulders and upper body session, an amazing progression for me after I built strength with the 12 minutes Videos :). This one it is so great, thank you!!! you are one of the best and more professional trainer on the web Vanessa
Thank you so much for this lovely comment 🙏😊 I'm glad to hear you have been consistent with the band routines and are building your strength! Keep it up and let me know what other videos you would like me to do as I'm back to filming now 🤗👌
I always find this workout in particular joyfully challenging! But unlike other arm workouts I am not praying for the workout to end. Thank you so much for these theraband workouts; I feel such an improvement in my shoulders and posture.
Great to hear Tricia! And glad you are not waiting for the end haha. I try to keep the routines moving along and fun so its enjoyable for you 🤗👌 Excellent to hear the shoulders and posture are improving too! Such an important part of our overall functional movement hey. Keep it up and let me know if you need any other help ok 🤗
Again and again, great to come back and tie it in with other exercises. Super effective exercises, and you explain very well and kind. Quickly increases strength ans flexibility. Thanks.
Thank you so much 🙌😀🙏 Really appreciate your comment! So glad you are liking the variations and combining them with the other vids! That is great to hear you are really gaining benefits like strength and flexibility 😊🙌 Keep it up!
Well done Mamata! These will be great for the hip. Keep working through all the different Resistance Band routines on here, plus the Pilates routines aswell which help with hip mobility 👌
This is really good for my shoulders. I had two Reebok resistance bands, and I broke one of the intertwined cords in one and I didn't want it to break and snap on me so I threw it out and I am using my second resistance band. I've been doing it for a couple weeks, now, and I feel like that it is helping me in my upper body movements in my Salsa Zoom dance class.
Hi Thomas great to hear! That's good you can feel it helps with other exercises too 😀👌 yep the bands can sometimes break. Check if you should be powdering them, this helps with maintenance. Also get a couple of different resistance levels so you are using a stronger band for stronger moves. Some break quicker than others in many brands though. Check out the other vids too and let me know if you need any help ok 😉✌
This is a fantastic session thank you so much. I am new to your channel I am so glad I have found you and i am sharing your channel around. please keep reminding us to breath.
Welcome aboard! Thank you for connecting. I am really glad you like this video and the channel. Thanks for sharing it too:-) Yes I will continue to remind you to breathe throughout the videos, this is so important. Let me know if you need any help ok !
This is a great variation on the theme you established with the first two videos, with some unique movements that keep it fresh and challenging. You make fabulous videos with such expert instruction and positive vibes that inspire. I'll be adding this to my routine for sure!
Thank you so much Steven! Really glad you like this variation and the other ones too. I tried to keep it unique and challenging for variety for you all. Really appreciate your feedback and support on the channel and taking the time to let me know how you with the vids! Any requests for next week?
@@Vanessabhealthtv Your welcome, VanessaB! You really check all the boxes with these three videos, in my opinion. It's amazing how small movements while keeping tension on the band can work those smaller supportive structures.. I like knowing that I am strengthening these often neglected yet vital muscles. Too many people are focused on big biceps and the whole vanity/ego trip. I want balance, and your way makes sense. When I do these vids, I'm left feeling like my shoulders and back can withstand whatever activity I may encounter, and that my chances of getting injured are reduced considerably. Like a natural insurance policy! The first thought that comes to mind is perhaps a video that deals with toning and strengthening the legs. So many people lose their balance and leg strength as they get older, which puts them at risk. The old axiom, "the legs are the first thing to go" is so true, I think. Just an idea but whatever you come up with is always met with great anticipation.
@@steveo8015 thank goodness that's music to my ears in knowing you 'get' the bigger picture of health and exercise beyond big biceps, haha. That's exactly what I want to help people with- a more balanced approach to exercise and life! Great to know you and many others are like-minded 😉 I like the idea of a leg strength video as I haven't done one of these in a while! Have a great week, keep up your exercise efforts ✌🤗
@@Vanessabhealthtv The fitness industry was fixated on "big guns" and "what do you bench" for as long as I can remember. I'm a fan of functional fitness, and not just because it helps you to function better, but it's FUN! I "get" it because of dedicated, talented and passionate people like you who are willing to share their time and knowledge for the benefit of anyone who is willing to listen and learn. Part 1&2 shoulder and back videos are great, and part 3 is every part their equal. Your message, and enthusiasm are just what is needed in these times of sedentary lifestyles and technology addiction. So many people have trouble climbing steps, walking up hills, even getting out of a chair, and injuries due to falls and poor balance are on the rise. A leg video could not be more timely, I would think. Thank you Vanessa for making a difference in peoples lives, and for doing it with such charm and grace!
@@steveo8015 excellent mindset you have. Yes I agree, when I worked firstly in a body building gym in my early 20s, then other various gyms it was always about the 'bench press!' I did learn alot and those techniques are ok to a degree, but there comes a point where your body does not like or need that approach any more. You are right with sedentary lifestyles and technology addiction we need to keep moving in a functional and holistic way! 👌💪 Thanks 4 sharing your views, I'm totally with you and I hope more people appreciate this holistic approach to fitness and wellness. I'm off to film the leg video now! Will post next week ✌
This is really good. Especially since last year at the CrossFit gym, I learned how to use a rowing machine. The rowing machine was my favorite exercise. I am happy to do exercises like rowing, that is at home and just with my resistance cord. This is my second video with you. My first video was the upper back and shoulder video.
Hi Thomas, great to connect with you! Rowing is great in any form 🤗💪 Glad you are doing your second video now! Let me know how you go with the others too and if you need any help. Keep varying the videos to get all muscles working nicely together 🤗
Hi Dvora 💯🙌 Thank you so much for your comment! Really appreciate it 🙏 Do subscribe and comment on the other videos as you do them on here also 😀 What are your specific goals right now? Let me know so I can point you in the right direction, reach out for help anytime 😊
Hi Beth! Great combo to those two together 😉👌 Thank you I'm glad you like this arm band video. I felt it was time for another follow up as people are certainly telling me this is the favourite set of muscles to work with the resistance bands 🤗 I'm hoping to do another one too. Any requests from you? Always great to hear your feedback 👌
I'm going to try this. I have a torn rotator cuff and other shoulder is trying to catch up. My surgeon said only replacement option on my right. Since I've moved I haven't done physical therapy and am now traveling for a while. Brought my therabands! My shoulders really hurt so I hope your videos can help start building my muscles around my shoulders and upper back. Thx!
Hello! Hope the shoulder issue not causing too much pain. Check with your doctor or surgeon to ensure my videos are ok for you. But yes, look through all the Theraband playlist and there are some great shoulder strength ones. I think I put the links to others on this video. Also do some other routines in the other playlists to work on your whole body holistically. Let me know if you need any help at all! Subscribe and stay in touch 👌😀
@@Vanessabhealthtv Thanks, I'm traveling solo in Costa Rica and my shoulders are really painful. I brought my therabands and just now using them as many places not where I wanted or could use them. I'm adding the isometric exercises from a physical therapist. I thought I saw a video of yours before I left that used the band doing the rotator cuff exercise holding the band with one hand and using the other hand to pull and release with upper arm at my side. Like if it was attached to a hook on the wall or tied around a post? Do you have a video like that? I really want to avoid replacement and my dr wants me to also. Thanks!!!
Hello, yes I can, could you be more specific though? What do you mean by spinal health? Lile back pain? Or posture? Or strength? Thank you for connecting!
Love your videos & instructions. The person’s request above on desiring a video on spinal health is great. I take it further by saying a video for those with scoliosis and osteoporosis with no twisting. There are very few on RUclips. Thx
Thank you 🤗 its been very hot here and being pregnant I had fainting episodes recently being outdoors trying to film, so when indoors there is some kind of generator running as the studio is located under apartments. So not much I can do about that background noise. It's not too bad anyway 😉
What a workout. 84 years and challenged. Also easy to remember!!
