This is a serious move! I did not feel like this would be SO impactful, but I am getting a good heartbeat increase! I love it!

Eric Sherrell where did you hear about this technique?
let me ask u something...i wear tight clothes and very tight bras...in the last 3 weeks, once every few days i have a short breath...i will USE A BETTER BRA AND DO THESE SWINGS...IM SURE IT WILL HELP.
@@teddybears4life240 Yes. You might be having some tightness issues with the clothing. Most likely the clothing is not the cause, but is making the internal stagnation you have worse. Wear some looser clothing and do the arm swings. Report back and let me know how things are going. Wish you the best! :)
Their is a 93 year old Chinese lady that moved into the apartment I live in
She does this exact exercise twice a day rain or shine, Thanks now I know why
It will extend your life, no matter how else you lead it. ;)
Just done this in my garden and a plane landed on my shed.
I laughed my Ass OFF when I read this!!! You are a funny Man. :) Thanks! Lol
LOL!!!
LOL!
HAHAHAHA!
😂😂😂😂
After an operation and a few rounds of radiation my blood oxygen rate remained around 92/93. After a few times doing Ape Arms I am reading 95/96. Thank you!
7 Years Ago. I am Honored that this vid has helped so many people. The fact that you have responded is beyond comprehension for me. I am Amazed that you took the time to type back. Thank you. I appreciate you all.
Eric Sherrell
Thanx
I just came across your vid and will definitely try this when I get up. I will come back if it works. I'm lost on the knee bending. Would you mind please respond with more detail on this part please. Thank you for your efforts.
bend knees slightly,
Hi and thanks for sharing your knowledge. My only question is if this exercise will help me to improve my stamina for running?
Thank you Eric. This exercise feels really Nice to do !!🙃🤗
Being doing this every morning 100 times and i can tell; i feel so much awake after that!!! Thank you!!!
Really...but looks illogical
@@bharatvandan1835 ,why?
@@sunbaga53 now seems logical friend.. after 6 months😅😂
I just tried this and i'm realy speechless, i've been struggling for long. i actualy think this is a life changer
Today is Friday, Oct. 25th and I want to thank you for this exercise. I am 66 and have COPD and although I have just started this I can tell it helps.
Wow thanks a lot. My blood oxigen level was always 89 after doing this just one minute it raised to 99. I can't beleive it. You are an angel❤❤❤
I just came across you video and just did the hundred arm swings for the first time. My oxymeter count went up to 97 ,I will try doing theses several times every day, may the Lord bless you, thank you for posting this
What was your average oxygen level before doing this exercise?
Thanks. I will do this exercise when ever I have time daily.
How do you measure that?
Yes, exactly. You've nailed it. This exercise is basically running for your arms, without the impact. Instead, you are lengthening, stretching, strengthening and pumping your arms. This reduces impact strain, increases oxygenated blood, pumps your Lungs and Heart, and strengthens your shoulder girdle. Try it out. Do 50 per day for 1 week. Then increase 50 every week. Try this for 1 month, in addition to your normal exercises. Report back with your progress. You will Love it! :)
Wow I literally just tried this, immediate results. Cleared my sinuses, can feel more oxygen entering my body.
Annamarie Espinas thanks for sharing, I'll try it
Please explain?
Christoph Az Agreed, those creeps from Hollywood are pathetic.
Are u being funny? If you are that is really funny but in the same token, if your serious i will take this serious
OMG Christoph Az-LOL
Eric, I am eternally grateful to you! You’re a Godsent! This exercise helped me tremendously with my anxiety, shortness of breath and menopause! I sleep like a baby! God bless you Eric! I just wish I’ve discovered it much earlier; but better late than never! I recommended and continue recommending to EVERYBODY!
I have to comment. I have a terrible cold and my sinuses are blocked. I was having a very hard time catching my breath and was going to go to the hospital to get some air into my chest. I did this exercise and immediately noticed my phlegm loosening up and I was able to catch my breath. I waited 5 minutes and did it again and I feel so much better. I’m going to do it a few more times throughout the s. Thanks so much for this video. I can breathe ☺️
there also is a buteyko nose unblocking exercise that works very well
Hi and thx for the video my friend. I found it a yr ago and forgot about it. Am back doing this to increase my energy levels. Im 65 and trying to get back in shape like I used to be 3 yrs ago and this really works!!! God bless
I'm watching this during covid 19
Don't watch! Do!
0:09 "You can do this in the morning, before you wake up!" Hahahha
😂🤦♂️
Can't believe it ! Have been so sick with my sinus issues plus shoulder pain. Been for years on steroids for the sinus and painkillers for the shoulder. After 2 weeks of this exercise, there is so much improvement. Giving up my steroids for good ! Thank you so much Eric Sherrell !
Thanks! These are easy, sensible and with results I'm looking for!
I've seen many older Chinese people doing this in the parks even at the bus stop! Now I know why 😊
Thank you. You are so fluid, like a water running threw a crystal clear stream.
Very Interesting. Now I understand why conductors live such long lives!!!!
LOL!
your comment made me laugh :)
Train conductors?
hahahahaha
ppmatt87 I think music conductors because they do these weird constant inhaling
I have severe nerve damage in my shoulder after it was totally shattered in an accident. With the momentum from this movement it almost moves like a normal arm again. This is a great vid!
100% O2 (Oxygen saturation) for the very first time ever !!! You just added years to my life. Norm from Saferstone Canada !!!
Just the very thing i need. Last night was one of those times where i am unable take in as much air as i want. Then this. Nothing's a coincidence. Thank you!
Increased oxygen levels is something I'm very much looking forward to. Thanks for this simple exercise that I can do on my off days of training.
Awesome! Keep up the great work. When you get a chance, let me know how this is helping you. :)
Hi Eric .I've been doing this for a month and I have seen great improvement to my chest opening and my breast muscles have tightened giving my breast a up lifting effect. Most grateful.Thank you.
I've been exploring movment culture and this is a perfect addition to my arsenal of breathing methods. Thanks for this Good Sir
Just did it along with the video. Arms and hands are tingling nicely now. Will try for breaks at work, thanks for this video.
thank you for this easy way of getting oxygen. I have been very tired for the last year used to be very active but after my birthday I noticed I dont have the energy to even go shopping with my granddaughter and I miss so may get togethers with my family. I was checked and nothing wrong health wise. I started thinking maybe I dont get enough oxygen so I have been researching how to get more oxygen and found your video. It doesnt cost anything and I dont have to buy any special equipment cant beat that
Hi. Your comment interested me. I encourage you to a holistic Dr. in your area. Finding the right one could be just the opportunity you need to better health. Often times they find what traditional medical professionals do not. May God give you newness of life that you can enjoy all of the things and people you love again!
@@laneshapeacock8785 you are a very kind person. There are not many to express interest for others problems, like you did. And I wanted you to know that I admire you for that! God bless you and your loved ones!
Great to hear that you like the exercise! Love the break down and how it felt for you. Its all about movement. Creating movement in the body keeps a person healthy, even into old age. Keep up the great work! :)
I was feeling rather lethargic and after I did this only 40 times I suddenly felt more alert. I’m hoping it’s going to help me with this constant tiredness i feel. Thank you.
Excellent exercise as a cycling pre-warmup ! Opens up the chest to give more room for your lungs it also relaxes all upper body joints. Combined with a up and down head movement to relax neck muscles it increases performance, stability and comfort on the bike. Thanks for sharing !
+Normand Landry That is an Awesome bit of information! Thanks for sharing man! Keep up the great work!! :)
I am a long-term COPD patient in my seventies. At a recent Spiro test I asked the specialist NHS nurse about this exercise and the' 50% increase' claim, expecting her to be dismissive about it, but she simply said quite calmly " Yes, it does."
That's good enough for me so I'll be adding this to my exercise routine !
+Peter Rogers Awesome! Its all about movement. Movement is the key to life. This movement targets the chest and shoulder girdle unlike most exercises. It will help pump your lungs, naturally increasing lung capacity and helping to get rid of phlegm and such. Let me know how it goes! :) Keep up the great work!
Peter Rogers had
@@EricSherrell Proper breathing is the key to good health; and our lungs will love us for this routine that will help them do their job with ease and efficiency.👍👍
I Allready was doing this when I fared anyway.
@@EricSherrell Its a shame she didn't tell him about this in the very beginning. Thanks a lot btw...
Thank you!
I
When I do exercise’s like that I just look at a wall clock for counting how long I do a exercise. Easy stretches are one minute and hard stretches are as long as 5 minutes but with less pressure. The results are nice!
Thank you so much Dr. Eric I will introduce this exercise to my friends and families ! You are a Godly man Dr! Thank you indeed🙏🏽🙏🏽
Got more oxygen just from watching this.
thank you for even being concerned enough to offer solutions for Better Health God bless you
Just wanted to thank everyone that has been following my Ape Arms video! Thank you so very much! We are up to 18,000+ views. That is motivating me to put together some more unique and practical exercise videos for you all. These exercises really do work, as some of you know that are doing them on a regular basis. Exercise to put into your workout or get you off the couch. They are easy and fun to do. Thanks again everyone! I'll be posting new videos very soon. :)
Thank you so much...this is exactly what I needed...so happy I found this video!
You're AWESOME!!
Thanks so much for this!!
God Bless you 😊🌞
GREAT...especially for people who can't run because of knee injuries..etc. I'm going to start doing this..thanks
susanne chakan So, how did it work out?
still doing this...feels good. more alert and full of energy, better mood, no more muscle spams in the upper back..Thank you so much!
I have COPD and my Blood Oxygen level is usually around 93%. As I have finally stopped smoking (it's only been a week), I am looking for anything that will help to slow down this disease. I did the one hundred (it was difficult for me as I have become rather inactive since my diagnosis over a year ago) but I finished. I gave myself a few minutes to rest and then took my oximeter reading. I couldn't believe that I held a 97% reading for almost 5 minutes. I will check it again in an hour or so. I am sure that it will have leveled out again near 93-94 which is normal (for me) but it really encouraged me greatly. I had to try a few different ways to inhale and exhale so that I was not becoming breathless and around the 50th time, I found my rhythm. My pulse rate also did not rise as I would have imagined. I intend on using this every day and will try to do the hundred several times through my day to build up to what feels comfortable. I am convinced this will help to live more comfortable and it, at least, makes me feel like I am more active. Thank you!
Can you offer an update Marion?
marion williams Look into Dr.John Bergman on your COPD..I believe you will be very interested to know what he has to say, for your condition.....He has spoken more than once about great natural remedies for way better health on COPD.....
Virgil Virden thanks...will check it out.
marion williams That is Amazing! Great work. This is a prime example of why I don't teach any specific breathing techniques. Breathing is a very primal behavior. Each person has different health problems, so should be advised with individual attention when it comes to teaching breathing patterns. Something I can't quite do with this video. You did a Wonderful job improvising and coming up with what works for you right now Marion. You are Amazing! Keep up the Great work! :)
marion williams God bless you Marion and I'm glad you gave up the cigarettes
Great. I just found this exercise by chance. Perfect for me right now. Thank you.
Thank you!.
This is a very simple and powerful exercise.
I was released from the hospital due to Covid. I was fortunate to survive. I’m on oxygen 24/7. I’m looking forward to getting off this machine and improving my lungs. Thank you 🙏🏼
Get well soon.
You will definitely get rid of the oxygen cylinder. God bless you..
I was kinda sleepy when before I did this and im feeling hyped after doing this. This works! Thank you for sharing! :)
+Nei Libunao Awesome! :) Keep up the great work!
Thanks Eric, as a practitioner of Qi Gong I enjoy picking up new techniques. It's almost limitless. Cheers Bro.
You're welcome James. Anytime Brotha. Yeah, it is fun.
Wooooh blown away by this exercise cleared my nasal and breathing way better now thanks heaps for that chuuurr brada
Easy and fun to do and it does not feel like work at all. Thank you.
+Rafael Madrigal Great job! Keep up the great work man!! :)
Wow man. I am surprised to feel a noticeable increase in my breathing from the first time trying this exercise. I serve in the National Guard and train constantly so I am happy to come across your video, this should help me increase my endurance drastically. Anything to make PT more of a breeze x)
Great to know! Thanks for the feedback. Which part of PRT are you referring to?
Thank You Eric. I did it once and felt a difference.
Great!- What I really like is, it’s a simple SINGLE Excersise. I thought you were going to swamp me with a load that would be difficult to remember! Thank you for this😜
I've been doing this for a couple months.
My copd has gone from moderate to mild. I can't Thankyou enough. I thought I was getting close to going on C02. You sir are my blessing from above.
I hope you meant H2O :)
@@patriciarobinson5863 of course. My bad
Thanks, really helpful to help my daily activity. Know that you're appreciated from Indonesia! :)
Unbelievable, it helped to clear my lungs and bring up the phlegm, it's really good, thanks a lot.
This is awesome! My breathing control and depth is one of the main reasons why I'm quitting smoking and this little technique is helping me get back into health. I will definitely do this every day. I already feel its benefits. Thanks! x
Thanks very much for the exercise..It has helped me alot.
Omg a Mandarin Chinese friend showed me this. Thanks😊
Thank you Dr Eric, very useful exercise and so easy to do.
It makes the most massive difference. Amazing!
I can breathe deeply all day after I do this and more energy!!
I will be adding a new "updated" video of me doing Ape Arms. This will be after doing them every day for 3 1/2 years. Some days I did a few, others thousands. Usually around 50-100 per day. Watch the new video and let me know what you think. I believe you will notice a Major Difference! :) Have Fun!
Thank you
I'm sorry. I didn't do it yet. I'll do it for you man.
Its been 4 months...what happen to the update?
newtguy The update, along with a series of videos that will open and strengthen the Lungs softly, without injuries, is coming soon. Get Ready! ;)
+spartan 01 Yes you can. This exercise manually opens the shoulders/chest/lung/heart area allowing for more oxygen/blood flow. Try it for 10 days and see if you feel the difference. Let me know how it goes! Keep up the great work!! :)
Great video Eric. Looking forward to more!
+phoderlein Thanks!
So many kind people taking time out to help others by uploading their videos really overwhelms me. Thank you I am subbing your channel . have a really nice day
didn't even put adds on the video, God bless your intention doctor . thank you
You are moving energy from your feet to your legs to your torso to your upper body. I saw a similar vid years ago and use this. It works!!👍
Right on. Pumping blood and visceral fluid throughout the body utilizing the arms mostly. Different language about the same subject. But, yes...you are correct. I've trained in internal martial arts (and others) for the past 20 years and am a Doctor of Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine. I find that the average person listens more when you talk in the language they are already used to. Like an English speaker speaking Spanish to Spanish speakers. That's all. ;) Are you doing the exercises? Love to hear back from you! Keep up the Great work!! :)
Thank you for pointing out the important of this exercise, as my old teacher of 20 years ago did make us do this 150 times before each Chi gong and Tai Chi class, by saying that this exercise helps to get rid of our daily tension....
I don't know why but it Really helped me alot for my Nasal problems these past years .Thx so much ✌
Stumbled across this and thank you.
Nice, easy exercise, Eric; thanks so much for sharing it with us. I have been struggling with the breathing on my bike, so I will give this a try, before I head out on the bike.
Awesome! This is a great exercise for cyclists. Let me know how it works for you. Love to hear back from ya. Keep up the Great work! :)
Eric Sherrell Well, you may be disappointed, Eric, in that my doctor has diagnosed my chief problem as Congestive Heart Failure, so - of course - a breathing exercise won't be of much help.
Charlie Cassowary Thank you for sharing. You are Amazing! You are correct. The exercises will not reverse your CHF. They will however keep it from getting worse. The extra oxygen will thin your blood more and help you from throwing a clot. So keep up the Great work! Much Love!! ❤️🤘😄🕺
Just by watching this I’m breathing better for some weird reason. I have t tried the exercise yet but Im about to, Thanks.
Amazing! Try it...you'll be pleasantly surprised. Have a Wonderful Week! :)
I don’t know how I found this video and I was laughing as I was doing this but honestly i feel a lot looser and better afterwards. I’m adding this to my workout regime thanks mate
Hahaha!! I know. It does seem like a ridiculously simple exercise. But, it does work really well. Super happy that its helped you out! :)
Wow! That is really cool. Always a pleasure to hear about different generations that continue to practice these ancient arts. One reason why they've continued to be passed on from generation to generation. Very cool!
Great Eric !!!..I tried this exercise and it works !!! Please continue posting more videos!!! Thanks :)
Thank you! I will be posting more videos soon. :) Glad you liked the video. Keep up the great work!
This really works. This exercise certainly makes you sharper and more energized and I do have some shoulder issues so this has also helped as well to get the blood flowing and the healing to that area.. Nice one!!! This will be an everyday exercise. Easy to do and effective. Thank you for sharing!!!
Awesome! This is why I do these vids. Its for people like you Brotha. Keep up the great work! :)
Cool! Really loosened up my shoulders . This is going into my exercise regiment.
Ideal exercices for seniors. Don't need big effort. Have tested. Excellent result.
This is great for COPD. You didn't mention how to breathe while doing these.
Thanks for the life tip!
Fabulousities! Thank you Eric.
Awesome - helped me a lot, just quitting smoking, this made me feel better and more focused. Thanks again.
hello, sorry to bother you. i just noticed it's been 5 years and i wanted to ask you how you are doing now - do you still do this, and if so, is your lung function any better? do you think you could say your oxygen intake is about the same as it was prior to smoking?
thank you in advance :)
I wouldn't call it monkey arms if I was as tall as a door (just teasing), but I can tell it works... last doctor's visit 2 weeks ago I had 100% blood oxygen despite having a bad bronchitis. Doing this made me feel like I had been hyperventilating. Thanks man!
Flashahol Hahaha!!! Thanks for making me laugh 😂!!! “Tall as a door...” Love it! Keep up the Great work! :)
Thanks for this video...I've been looking for tips to increase my lung capacity. I started swimming and find that I'm not able to make the 25m length. I'm out of air and dying frequently. I will certainly be trying this... as well as some diaphragmatic breathing.. Looking fwd to your other videos. You've got another subscriber👍👏
Thank you so much Dr. Eric, Simple but effective exercise. I do that every morning too. God Bless you dr. USA follower
I sure will do it. Thanks!
Cool and relaxed with no force !!!
coronavirus: I won't let you breathe, AT ALL!
This guy: UNO reverse Card!
Omg Thankyou Dr I’m doing this starting today and shared with my friends 🙏💜
I'm doing this just before I go to bed now. You seem like a genuinely nice person; I'm subscribing. Happy Holidays! 12/2018
Eric: I've added this to my AM routine since December 2018 -- 150 reps. It helps me focus on drawing air from my diaphragm to my upper chest as well as stretching my upper body. It has actually improved my singing voice. Nice to do facing an open window -- I live above Balboa Park in San Diego where the air is nicely filtered by all the trees, etc. Thank you; Happy Halloween! 💀👻😈 10/2019
Your a good teacher thx a lot. Your body language says your very honest.
+Stacy Bailey Thanks man! Really appreciate it. :)
you're * you dumb fuck
Yes actually seen track runners, swimmers and boxers do this before an event. So far it has helped me win all my fights my son is a grandmaster at 29. Please check us out on Facebook, Elijah montes Bailey thx

Why does a chess player have to use breathing exercises
xXBandidoXx *(i’m a) You spelt ’you’ incorrectly.
Thanks Eric. You are a great motivator. This is so simple that I'm going to do it. Increased lung capacity is the key to fitness.
Amazing what you find wandering the net on a Sunday morning ... 100 felt good, I'll try it again for sure !
I enjoy your enthusiasm man, I'll be trying this out for sure.
+Skyler Wade Thanks! Let me know how it worked for you?
this is actually good for lymph too. there are a lot of lymph nodes in the armpit area being exercised
A cardiologist said the same thing. Its a probable reason orchestra conductors live long lives. They're constantly detoxing lymph and lungs.
That is Awesome Bro! Right on! That's what I love to hear. Fo sho. ;) This exercise is directed at opening your Lungs and Heart. The emotion of the Heart is Laughter, hence your laughing. The Lungs move the Qi in the body. Stuck flow, open the Lungs. Sounds like you're already kickin butt in this arena, so you felt it very powerfully. It made my day to read your comment above! Thank you. ;) Keep up the great work! Will have more videos out soon. :)
An amazing video thank you so much DR❤
Thanks for the demo I'm going to try this!
Sweet! Do it. Love the attitude. :) Just knock em out. Can't wait to hear back from ya. ;)
thx this really helped
Seems so simple thank you I will start it today..its worth a try! Im having issues with anxiety effects my Breathing.. Will check back with An update.
That is a very good question. It really depends on the person and their level of fitness. The more fit the longer it lasts. Probably make you feel better for a few hours if you're bad off and make you feel good for a whole day if you're really healthy. This is an exercise that is cumulative. You have to do this exercise every day for a few months to really start seeing the longer lasting effects. Ain't nothin good come from slackin. ;)
