@yes2next Hi I'm a 62yr old male and I have lumbar stenosis and I'm not able to stand for more than a couple of minutes and walking is nigh on impossible could you recommend some seated exercises to help. Thank you Colin.
I love this exercise. I try to do it every morning if my sciatic isn't too painful. I've let my chiropractor know about your RU-vid site for his older clients. He was happy to be able to recommend something for those that can do gentle exercises.
Thank you! Happy you liked the workout and doing it in morning is a good way to wake up your body! 👏 Gentle stretching is helpful to keep your muscles flexible and strong. Nice of you to share us with your chiropractor too! Hope the gentle stretches can be helpful to many! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️

Thank you for sharing. Great workout. Never done Pliates (heard of it but never done it) It is refreshing and encouraging to see somebody my age working out with you. All the exercise videos I have followed looked like the instructor was under 60. Keep up the good work.
Wow! Just pulling my bellybutton in & breathing was a workout & the entire workout was perfect.. Just exactly what I needed today. Thanks so much!💜💪🏼🙌🏼
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the workout and giving your belly button a workout was different but fun too! 👏Nice work staying strong! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️

Thank you! Proud of you for doing 14mins! 👏 YAY! Nice work! You did your body good and getting dewy is the best too for your heart and muscles! Keep it going! Love ❤️your spirit to keep moving! See you soon! ❤️
You are welcome! Glad you enjoyed it and started your day with the workout too! 👏That's the way to get your body ready to go! Keep up the good work and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
That’s very interesting too - I found the Pilates breathing a challenge and holding belly button in! But I’m inspired by Hulu both so I’ll keep going on my core!!! Have a wonderful day 😎 love & hugs from Morocco as always ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi there and greetings to you in Morocco! Happy you enjoyed the workout! 👏 Pilate breathing is a little different, but it does help to strengthen your core which is always good to do! Plus your belly button gets a good workout too! 👏 YAY! Nice work! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed the workout! You did your body good to staying strong! 💪 Nice work! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
First time doing Chair Pilates -- won't be the last. Very effective, full body session. Need a Post It note glued on the inside of my eyelids with the reminder: Bellybutton to spine! Appreciate your timely reminders to remain focused on the Pilates breathing.
Love that you gave Chair Pilates a shot! So happy to hear you got a great workout. And hey, that Post-It idea is genius-just don’t forget to take it off before heading out! 😊 Keep rocking those sessions! 🎉 ❤️
Hi. I watched a few of your videos and was inspired to do some seated exercises and stretches. Every morning as I was waking up I drank my coffee and did my stretches and exercises. I am happy to report that I just got back from a 5 mile hike this morning. I made it. I am encouraged and motivated. 60 years young lady.
That's impressive! As a young 60yo you did your body good by doing a 5min hike! That's the way to keep your heart and muscles strong! Nice work! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Hi Ladies, and thanks for this exercise (never done pilates before). One question : are we meant to keep the belly-button constantly pulled in (as I did), or does it follow the breathing (belly in, breath out...) ? Edit : sorry, just read the answer in an other comment. Thank you both again though, still a lot to discover 👍😉 !
Thank you! Glad you found the answer! Pilate helps to strengthen your muscles and especially helps to keep your core muscles strong! 💪 Strong muscles build more muscle so that's a good thing too! Keep up the good work and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
You are doing ok! Breathing in a Pilate routine is a bit different to do but with practice you will do aok! The important thing is to keep breathing! That is what is important! Keep moving with us too! See you soon! ❤️
I loved this! As you said, something different is good. One question for clarification. Pull your belly button in and KEEP it in as you inhale? Or let it go as you inhale and pull it in as you exhale? Thank you for this wonderful workout!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Always good to do something different and Pilate breathing is different! Try to keep your belly button pulled in slightly as you inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth - this keeps your abdominal muscles strong by doing so! You are doing your body good! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
I feel as though I was suddenly transported to different planet of exercise! Each move had multiple items requiring attention. The routine looks deceptively simple, but keeping the navel in during each move was very challenging while performing the moves. I have strong abs, and I felt them really working. This one requires a bit more fine tuning to enable me to concentrate on the components of every move. Most excellent and intriguing. Thank you April . You did great, Aiko!
Thank you! Glad you found the workout challenging and you did it too! We knew you would! 👏The breathing aspect is different and it's not something your body is used to doing. It does take concentration for sure, but it does give a sense of accomplishment when you do it! 😉Mom says HI and thanks for your sweet words. Keep up the good work keeping strong! Keep moving with us too! See you soon! ❤️
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Keeping your muscles strong and flexible is the way to keep your body strong too! YAY! 👏Pilate breathing is different but very effective with the routine! Keep it going! You are doing your body good! Keep moving with us too! See you soon! ❤️
Thank you and welcome! Nice of you to join us! 👏 Glad you like the workouts and pleased to know they are doable for you! YAY!

See you soon! ❤️

April, I'm so glad you now have a chair Pilates workout! I know I have a full rotator cuff tear in the right shoulder and most likely some degree of tear in the left (pending MRI.) I know I have to keep moving the shoulders to avoid frozen shoulder, but certain movements cause discomfort. Do you have any suggestions for doing the arm exercises in this workout? Thank you and your Mom for your wonderful Yes2Next workouts :)
We understand. Since you have frozen shoulder, only do movements recommended by your doctor or physical therapist. In this workout, one modification is to not move the shoulder, but do the movements from the elbows. So for arm presses, press hands down by bending the elbows and keeping the shoulders still. For the arm crosses, keep your shoulder still, bend your elbows and criss cross your hands. Stop if you feel any pain. We're so happy you enjoy our workouts. Keep building strength safely and gradually! ❤️
Those tips are super helpful! I don’t have frozen shoulder yet, so my ortho dr said I should keep moving the shoulders as I am able and stop at any pain. This workout is gentle enough, perfect!
PS I love the idea of an "Osteoporosis Friendly Playlist" mentioned here - but the link just takes me to a breathing exercise.: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D8vGGc7Orf8.html
So sorry for the error. Here is the correct link: ru-vid.com/group/PLjv8dGZeugtVJrAAwr1kwSipTFsdiMQPb&si=6gL2KJw_XWYYA7XT Thank you so much for pointing it out! ❤️
This session gently moves the hip joint and strengthens core and glutes. Here are two videos we invite you check with your doctor to see if they would be helpful for your knee arthritis: Gentle Knee Workout: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pt-EDqihR9Y.htmlsi=6Y2l9rdJFt_TyxuH and Lower Back Stretches: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mCpra8FWk0c.html Wishing you strength!

hiya following you now, but have a question?... when inhale tummy in, do you keep belly button in, when exhaling or do you release the somach mucles on exhaling? thank you for clarification have a wondery day both of you!! :-)
Hi there! Try to keep your belly button pulled in slightly as you inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth - this keeps your abdominal muscles engaged. If the breathing is too confusing, the most important thing is to get the movements down and then add the breathing in afterwards. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for your kind words! 👏 Mom says Hi and to keep it going! You can do it! You are doing your body good! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
