I come back to these exercises again and again, for quite some years now. also your shoulder videos and the vom leg videos. They always help to get rid of my pains and the stiffening up of these joints. Being 65 it’s high maintenance unfortunately and when I let my exercise routine slip your targeted exercises get me sorted out like magic. Also I love your 14 day Pilates to which I have returned to strengthen again. Thank you for your great routines of all sorts. Love it! Susan
Hi Susan 😀🙏 It's great to hear from you! Thank you so much for your comment, I love hearing your progress and how you are doing! Please do comment on each video so I can keep track of where you are at, the 14 Day Core or anything else 🙏✅️ You are so right! You need to keep moving the muscles or that mobility and strength quickly go! Great job in staying active here. Please do reach out if you need any help and I look forward to hearing more from you 🏆😀
I really enjoyed this workout-every day I discover a different one of your videos. Foolishly, I thought this would be easy but I learnt just how shaky my balance really is! Lots of fun though and I could definitely feel it working. Love your stuff!
Hi Janet 😀🙌 Great to hear from you! Thank you for your comment 🙏 Glad you like this one. It's one of my favorite go-tos myself for lower body! Haha yes a little deceiving perhaps 😉✅️💪It's good to test out the balance and challenge this a little! Keep doing this in conjunction with others in here to get that full body approach each week 😀🙌 Reach out if you need any help ok! And please do post comments on all the vids you do, I honestly love seeing them and watching your progress ➡️👇✨️😀
Absolutely surprised by how effectively you can feel your exercises working. I am rehabilitating from an ACL surgery and this is helping. Thank you so much for the content. Do you have any suggestion for which video can be specifically useful for the ACL rehab where building up of muscle strength around and on both sides of knees is important? Keep up the great work! :)
Hi Siddhant, thank you and welcome! I hope your knee is recovering well. Keep doing this one along with my other knee videos which will help: 7 min knees here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1G_etHrCFkM.html and this 12 minute video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6-_pkmTA1t8.html do let me know if you need anything else ok 👌😉
I"m 77 and struggling with you brief workouts because my balance muscle still need trainingI've committed myself to doing the leg and the arm workout twice daily for 10 weeks. Ill let you know how I'm doing in a few weeks. I have several other goals for the same period, daily to eat less.
Hi Brian 🙋♀️ well done for getting started with the videos! Please do what is right for you and visit the various playlists 😀 If you feel your balance needs assistance always use a stable chair or wall for support aswell. Love to hear how you go in the coming weeks. Do reach out if you need anything at all ok 👌💪
OK - I think I’m getting what you mean about supersets - eek! Feeling really good - even though was sore earlier in the week - chainsawing tomorrow - so I’ll let you know how I go
Supersets indeed hahahaha, but you are ready for this !! You can do it. Well done on pushing through and challenging yourself with so many routines🏆 This is always a goodie!
FANTASTIC work Manisha👏😀 Yes! So many people had this issue with more sitting and way less activity during lockdown. Great work staying strong with the videos! Keep it up and check out the different playlists to help you target each area as needed. Reach out if you need any help ok!
Try this lower body routine it's a 25 Minute routine from my Invigorate Program 😊👋 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XVMuggLsxhY.htmlsi=-MWyAaXjYilyv0pj I do not really have specific calf and inner thigh band as they are tricky muscles to target with a band. But many of my other videos integrate this through other movements 👍💯 Let me know if you need any other help ok!
Do these bands dig into your thighs when you tie them like that? I purchased some reebok ones but since I'm heavy with thick thighs they roll and hurt the heck out of me because they dig in.
Hi there yes unfortunately they do roll a bit these stretchy ones when tied up. You could get the material loop bands which would help in this case 🙏 Sorry these are not quite right. I did film this video a while ago too and many of my clients at that time only had stretchy ones so I video using this, but you can do with a material loop band ✅️ Let me know if you need any other help! I do have some great leg workout videos with no equipment aswell. Let me know if you want those links 😀👌👉
Hi there 🙌✨️👋 Thank you for your comment! Are you new here? What's your name? I hope you find benefit from these 🏆 Do subscribe and check out the other playlists too! Reach out if you need any help at all. If band workouts are what you want, you have come to the right place 😀⭐️🫶

Let me know if you need anything else ok ✅️ Check out the other playlists and do subscribe!
Day 6 done. You are the best with your instruction. I looked at other band work choices. one of them is down right dangerous with their sloppy or lack of guidance on posture, movement. Thank you very much for sharing.
Wow thank you so much Kim, I appreciate your comments. I've been teaching for 20 years so I'm hoping that's helping my delivery in clearly explaining the videos! Sometimes I think I talk too much haha, but I feel technique is so important for safety and results👌🤗 really appreciate your feedback and reach out if you need any help ok 😀
Great to hear Linda! Glad these vids are helping you esp during lockdown time 💪🤗 check out the different band videos on here plus the other playlists too for variety and working your core, toning and stretching 😉 let me know if you need anything specific ok! Filming again this week 👌
Hi Sanaa, thank you so much and hope your knees are ok. It really depends if it's a deep knee problem or injury, or whether it's just a general ache from perhaps quads or surrounding muscles being weak. I would say give it a go but do not bend too low. You can also do my knees-specific workouts here in the lower body playlist : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6-_pkmTA1t8.html (12 min VMO and knee strength) and this one : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1G_etHrCFkM.html (7 best knee exercises). Let me know how you go with these !
Love it! Have just done three of your videos back to back - they are exactly what I was looking for in terms of theraband workouts - thanks so much! :)
Hi Kirsty and welcome to the channel! Thanks so much for connecting 🤗👌 Glad you found the routines you need. See how you go with the other videos and let me know if you need any help ok ✌
Both are excellent however I've always used resistance bands, long ones, because you can use them for literally everything 👌😀 Whereas tubes you cannot place around feet for seated work (in my other vids) and are limited to some movements like you cannot wrap them around legs like you can these long ones or small loop resistance bands. 😉 So all are great in there own way but these are most versatile if a person only had one band, these are it! Do reach out if you need any help ok, what are you working on right now?
Oh no! Perhaps try them without the band for a while till you build up. Or you could do a different leg routine on this Playlist, or even in another Playlist on my channel. Do you feel it's leg weakness or lack of flexibility holding you back?
@@Vanessabhealthtv Yeah my body is not able to keep it's balance. However I feel like I'm improving each day. Let's see how it goes. P.S: Your arm exercises are fabulous! I'm just so glad that your channel exists.
Ok if the balance is a problem then place your hands on a chair or wall, something steady. This will help. Over time the hips will gain more strength doing these side leg lifts and similar moves. You can also try my balance routine here a few times a week:ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_X_Piuk2wrY.html let me know how you go 🤗👌
Completed all with 2kg weights on ankles - except for the pendulum - and couldn’t get this one - balance all over the place. Finished with a 45 sec plank
Hi Beth! Yes you do a circuit or hiit style using the band. I am limited to film it right now as I'm 24 weeks pregnant, but I can surely do it next year! What you could do is set times for each exercise like 30 seconds, and add in some more cardio moves as well as band work for increased intensity and heart rate. 💪✌
Great legs workout with band. My balance was on this morning, exception leg circles. When moving in circle motion, it requires me to reach out to wall. I just did the 30 minute seated band followed by the 12 minute shoulder workouts. I woke up energized (and balanced) this morning. Thanks Vanessa 😊❤️
This was a great short workout - and great that it was standing - because I’m in the SMALLEST HOTEL ROOM - I’ve ever been in - in my life - room enough for the bed and less than a meter at the end of the bed - will have to save the cardio routine for tomorrow morning at the park!!
Oh wow well that was a good choice to do this one which is pretty much on the spot 😜👏👏👏💯 Well done while traveling Arlene woohoo! Very proud of your efforts in making it work 👌
Just starting my body strength journey and don't have any equipment other than a few dumbbells and a rebounder. BUT, my husband got a theraband from his chiropractor to strengthen his shoulder and now I can use that in SO many ways! Thank you for this and your other theraband workouts!
Hi Karen 🙋♀️ so great to have you here doing the routines with us! Well done and you have many band workouts to choose from with the Resistance Band Playlist on here! Please let me know how you go and if you have any questions at all 😉💪
Started watching your channel today early morning and follwed your instruction of the above exercise its worth Hi can you please help with complete body strength and relaxing with and without band. 1)make video with band for whole body strengthing and fixing postures and relaxing 2)make video without band for whole body strengthing, relaxing,and fixing postures
Hello Rahul welcome! Thanks 4 your comment 👌 Check out the different playlists on my channel. I have a full body band workout in the THERABAND playlist, plus actually filmed another today coming on soon, funny you should ask that! I also have LOTS to fix posture and strengthen whole body without band in the PILATES and BODY STRENGTH playlist. The different labels will tell you the focus for that particular workout. I am a bit limited with doing core and floor work right now as I'm half way through pregnancy! But have a look at the other videos and hope you enjoy them too. 💪
Wow thanks for letting me know 🤣🤗👌 Sure, you are just kidding it loves these exercises! Great to hear you are doing a good variety of videos, keep it up and let me know if you need any help! ❤
Hi, I love this workout, however I struggle with bad knees and had to support myself on a chair to take the weight off my knees. Can you post a routine for knees? Thanks
Hello! This is a strong workout for the knees as alot of it is single leg holding to gain that extra intensity. I would suggest you do not do this unless you have good balance and knee strength, as the band also increases the intensity again a level. Instead, try this video to build knee strength and legs, where you could sit on a chair and do this without such strain.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6-_pkmTA1t8.html hope this helps!
Hey Vanessa, great job with this video! I am pretty new to the world of taking care of my bodyshape and don't have time to visit gym or see an instructor. Talking to some friends who work out a lot and checking informations online, I decided to buy myself some therabands and give it a try to do some exercises at home. After watching some videos I decided to pick up yours. It has been just 3 days, and I am determined to keep up with it! I want to work on the legs only for now. I don't feel tired after the exercises and nothing is hurting or annoying me, I hope that's a good sign. I will definitely let you know how I feel after a few weeks. Very important to me is the way you present your exercises. The way you talk is easy to understand, images and voice are clear. Thanks for your quality content!
Wow thank you so much for your lovely compliments! Great work for getting bands and deciding to get started. Over time you may find you do get more sore as deeper muscles are recruited. However, the way I structure my videos and use bands and no high impact moves, you will never get that same soreness as gym sessions for example. Actually, it's better to work for quality not quantity and soreness anyway. More sustainable, feels better and deeper strength, tone and balance is achieved! I have been teaching 20 yrs now so thank you for your comments on the delivery of videos. I always try to keep it clear and help people understand why and how to do the movements. If there is anything else you need let me know 🤗 Over time you could try the other routines for upper body, core (which is super important) and look at the other playlists as you like. Do subscribe and join me on other social media too! @vanessabhealth Instagram and Facebook. Send a message there of your progress too if you like, I love hearing them!!
Thank you Vanessa for answering to my comment! Your experience through the years surely brought you to be very competent for both the knowledge and the teaching skills themselves. What I found particularly important is that you look and sound human while presenting, so I feel like some friend or at least a "person" is explaining to me what and how to do it, which is way more pleasant then how other videos I stumbled across are presented. About the routine itself, I managed to do it around 3 times a week past weeks, on random days when I had the 10 spare minutes. I hope that not doing the routine at regular intervals still is fine and effective. It is hard to have regular weekly plans while working on irregular shifts, but I am not surrending! Take care ♡
@@siemgirl that's awesome. Just keep doing that, fit in the videos when you can around your schedule. As long as its 3 times a week minimum you are doing something really positive for your body! Thank you for explaining your lovely comments. I feel really grateful you have connected with me and 'get' that I am wanting to create realistic videos with very much a human aspect haha. That may sound crazy, but I am literally being myself and teaching exactly how I would in person. What you see is what you get! Hope you are enjoying other vids here too, and let me know if you need any help!
Wow good work Kim! Are you feeling arms and legs? Do you think you need a break tomorrow or you ok to keep going? I say do a shorter video if you need to go easier, or even a stretch video on that Playlist to change it up👌🤗
Hi Dennis😀Great work ! Thank you for commenting here. Really glad you like this routine. Do check out the Resistance Band Playlist for total body band routines. Are you working on anything in particular right now? Reach out if you need any guidance ok!
Thank you Arun! I'm glad you like this video. It does get into the glutes and legs hey! That is a great idea to do more office videos. What do you think? Stretches? Or workouts while on the chair? Leg exercises? Love your ideas 👌
Hi Chandrakala 🙋♀️ Thank you so much! Hope you find benefit from this video and the others too. Do subscribe! Do you need any help or guidance for your health and fitness goals right now? 👌🙋♀️ Let me know!
Thanks for your videos, Vanessa! I love them :) I wanted to ask you something, as I have femoral anteversion I need to work on strengthening the glutes and work on the external rotators of my hips. I wonder if you have any videos that target the hip external rotators? Thanks a lot :)
Thank you for your comment so glad you like the videos! 🙏🤗 yes so with the femoral anteversion I do not have anything specific for external rotation of the hips, but can certainly film it! I'll piece some exercises together and add it to filming next week ok 🤗💪does this cause pain as such? Or have you just been told to work on external rotation? What you can do in the meantime is any of my videos (lower body and legs) where we do squats and turn feet out slightly from the hip. The 'Pilates Squats' , and any of the side lying leg lifts, focusing on turning your knee to face the ceiling moreso than forward. Does this make sense? Let me know if you need anything else ok 😀
@@Vanessabhealthtv Thanks so much! That's really kind of you :) I've been told to work on external rotation of the hips and strengthening glutes. I've been also doing some ballet so hopefully, it will be helpful too. I'm usually not in pain unless I walk a lot, and then my hips and knees get sore.
Hi there 😀 Thank you for your comment 💯🫶 So glad you liked this one! Do subscribe and reach out if you need any help ok! Hope to see more comments from you 🙌
@@Vanessabhealthtv i am suscribed & will recommend it. I plan to use your workout for my MWF regimen, but certainly will adjust d band. Am osteoporotic with MILD RA THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING YOUR VIDEO.♥️
@@marileorion8186 Amazing 💪Welcome to the community 🙌 Hope you enjoy many of the other videos! Bands are fantastic for this. Do check with your doctor for any advice specific to your needs too. Keeping your body strong is crucial, and these videos can help 💯👌 Please reach out if you need anything at all! And do post comments on every video so I can see how you are doing. I love hearing from you and the other amazing people here ✅️🫶
Hi Alicia 🤗 when I was teaching complicated aerobics routines years ago my class would do the mirror image of me doing the movements, so I'd be moving to the left stepping on my left leg when it would actually be everyone else's right leg, as they were facing me. So I've kept that up for videos as I'm guessing most people are doing the mirror image and facing me. This is easier for people 👌 and less confusing especially if we change sides or direction. I'd never been asked that so good question! Let me know if you need anything else ok 😉
Hello, thanks for connecting 😀 many people do not have loop bands so this is a versatile way to use the long band in a similar way, plus you get different effects using a long band for these types of exercises and little more range of movement if the loop bands are strong 👌🤗
