April and Iko, I've been using your videos since 2021 after recovering from Covid. The exercises have strengthened my knees and I'm convinced they have helped me avoid surgery. As a 72 year old I can definitely see and feel an improvement in my balance. I also appreciate the special bond you have as mother and daughter. I look forward to each new video! Blessings, Kathy
Thank you! So nice to know you have been working out with us since 2021! You are family! YAY! 👏 Pleased the workouts have helped you too! 👏 All your efforts as a young 72yo to staying strong are paying off in a healthier and stronger YOU! 👏 Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Wow, another very helpful vid! I can't tell you how helpful your videos have been - to a 79 yr-old out of shape guy (now a little less out of shape). Huge thanks.
Thank you! Glad you like the workouts! As a young 79yo it's good you are exercising! 👏 Keep moving and you will soon be an in-shape guy who is looking good! YAY! 👏 Keep up the good work! You can do it! Keep moving with us too! See you soon! ❤️
I haven't been with you for a while due to nasty flare up of arthritis. Going to specialist soon. Couldn't do this workout as the hips were too sore. Hope so much to be back with you soon. Lots of love to both of you❤xxx
Oh my! So sorry you have not been feeling well. Not to worry about not doing this workout or any of the workouts. They will be waiting for you to do when you are feeling better! It's good you are seeing a doctor soon! We will miss not seeing you at our workouts, but your well-being is more important! Stepping back for abit is okay if it means stronger steps going forward! Hope you feel better soon! ❤️
Thank you! Happy you found us too! Glad you enjoy the workouts! Mom is a young 83yo but if you ask her, she is 39 and holding! 😉She is pleased to know she motivates you to keep moving! That gives her the reason to keep moving too! See you soon! ❤️
Very similar to my physical therapy exercises. I try to keep up on them but do have slacking times before I start having body issues and hop back on it. 😂
Thank you! That's nice to know! It's okay to take a break but so much better for your heart and muscles to move! Good you are hopping back on to do so! 👏 Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
These are excellent exercises. I have bursitis on both thighs and these are some of the exercises that my physical therapist would have me to do. I will be adding this to my weekly rotation.
Thank you! Happy you like the workouts and pleased to know they are similar to ones recommended by your PT to help you! Perfect! 👏Adding them to your weekly rotation is smart as it will keep you engaged in doing them too! 👏 Keep it going! You are doing your body good! Keep moving with us too! See you soon! ❤️
Great workout. I have had one knee replaced and I have some arthritis in my hips. These are exactly the kinds of exercises I need to do to strengthen the muscles that support my hips. I did these exercises on my sofa. Thanks April and Iko for thinking of and working with seniors! Lynda
Thank you! Glad you liked the workout and pleased it has helped to strengthen the muscles that support your hips! 👏Nice work doing so! Glad you did the moves on the sofa too! Mom says Hi and YAY using the sofa is the best and much more comfortable than the floor! 👏 Keep up the good work and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Thank you! Happy you liked them! Always good to keep your heart and muscles moving to stay healthy and strong! 👏 Your body loved ❤️it too! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
You are very welcome! Thanks much for joining us! Glad you enjoy the workouts! 👏Mom says HI and thanks for your kind words! She hopes to see you at our next workout! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️

Thank you! That's great news! 👏 Happy we can get you moving and feeling good doing so! Glad you enjoyed the workout! You did your body good! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Thanks for this video. I’ve been doing some of these moves without having them sanctioned by a trainer who knows something, so I’m glad to hear that they actually are good for me, and you two ladies motivate me to get on the floor and exercise when the lazy side of me wants to vegetate! 😏
You are very welcome! Thanks for joining us! 👏 Glad the workouts motivate you to get moving! It's certainly okay to take a short break and be the lazy one but it's so much better to keep your heart and muscles moving! YAY! 👏Keep up the good work and keep moving with us!! See you soon! ❤️
Amazing excercises. I would request you to also do a video on wall pilates for seniors/beginners or something similar. Another request is that could you kindly show the gym equipments or its closest substitutes one should/possibly have (and of course safely use) at home as seniors/beginners?
Thank you! That's great to know! Happy the workout is in sync with the advice of your PT! Good to know our workouts will help you to get stronger! 💪YAY! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
I have just found you and your exercises are just what I need, I have hip and thigh stiffness. Im aged 70. I’m going to follow you daily and when I’m ready and hips stronger I’ll do your 7 day walking too. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, blessings to you and your Mom 💕💕

Mom says Hi and thanks for your cheers but it's probably a better idea to check with your doctor first to find out the cause of your hip issues before doing any exercising. Especially to find out if our workouts are okay for you to do! Your well-being and safety are important! Hope it will be okay to work out together soon! ❤️

This new workout came at just the right time for me to put it in my workout plan for Day 4 of your *1 Week Strength Training Plan - Intermediate* , which I started following on Monday. I started with a few other short lower body workouts, including some oldies but goodies from your Lower Body playlist and saved this one for the last of the lower body routines. I love the stretch at the end, which felt so good after all the leg work I'd done! I completed the Day 4 plan with a ramped-up version of your recent New Year Walking Workout. Day 4 of the "1 Week Strength Training Plan - Intermediate" completed now and hoping to be able to move on to Day 5 tomorrow! (written Wednesday, Jan.24, 2024)
Thank you! Day 4 of the 1 Week Strength Training Plan done! Wow! 👏 Nice work combining different lower body workouts too! You did your body good! 👏 You are definitely ready to face Day 5 and do it with your same spirited game face on! YAY! 👏That's the way to do it to stay strong! Great effort on your part! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
You have to pay for the ad free version of RU-vid I believe. The ads help the different channels to present their videos without the viewers having to pay is my understanding.
@shadowkatbinga5894 Thank you for replying. You are correct. You can pay for RU-vid Premium to not have ads on any videos across RU-vid. But our free videos have ads at the beginning and end, which as you point out, helps us to continue to produce free workouts. We appreciate the patience and understanding with the ads, some of which can sometimes be skipped. Thank you so much! ❤️
Thank you! Glad you liked it and happy it felt soooo good doing the workout! YAY! 👏 Your body was loving ❤️your efforts too! Keep up the good work and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Excellent timing! I have just been looking for some glute/quad strengthening exercises to help support my knees. These will be great to add to my arsenal. Appreciate you both so much!
Thank you! Yup, timing is everything! Happy you enjoyed the workout, and it is just what you were looking for to strengthen your glutes and quads! 👏 Perfect! Glad you will add it to your arsenal of workouts too! YAY! That's the way to stay strong! Keep up the good work and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Thank you! That sounds like a terrific plan! 👏 Doing it every second day will give your muscles a rest day before a workout day! Nice way to keep your muscles strong! 💪 Keep up the good work and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Very helpful video and timely as Sciatica is bothering me this AM. I added this to a chair dance video. I am glad you said the figure 8 with the leg raised is an advanced move as I could never lift the leg. Hi Mochi, wherever you are 😹
Thank you! Glad you liked it and found it helpful and timely with your sciatica acting up. Combining it with the dance video was a good idea too! 👏 You worked your heart and muscles doing so and that's always a good thing to do! Mochi 😻says Hi and sorry he missed you! He'll catch you next time! Keep up the good work to stay strong and keep moving with us! Hope you feel better! See you soon! 😻❤️

I don’t like to criticize but I feel I have to say that I find the MUSIC in this video STRESSFUL…it’s too loud, is annoying and distracting. Almost sounds like something AI would have created…nonsensical. I don’t remember the music being this bad in other videos. I will have to do the video in mute, which is unfortunate as I don’t hear your calming voices. Otherwise I LOVE it 😊
Thank you for your feedback! We'll work on toning down the music in the next videos so you can enjoy them with the sound on. We appreciate you spending time with us despite the audio and are honored to help you get stronger. Your support means a lot! ❤️
