Thank you, this is so helpful! Would #10 work for others with hip and knee replacements? Also, could you please help with how to work the arms for tennis/golfers elbow and frozen shoulders issues, please?. Thank you very much to you both!

[@kareemshiver4603]

Thank you Alyssa

[@patmartens4751]

I think I should have seen this video many years ago. I an ancient and my right knee is really painful and my balance is VERY bad. I am 95 and have tried exercises but stopped too soon. You explained so well and say there is no hurry and measure by breaths. I don’t walk enough either but really want to become painless so will persevere.. thank you both

[@nancyellen8006]

How are you doing? I hope you’ve felt some relief from your arthritis. I’m just now starting the exercise videos to improve my balance and my arthritis. I will have to work hard to see a change. Please don’t give up on exercising if you’re able to keep moving. Take care. ❤ 0:08 0:08

[@vickigray9568]

I am 75 yrs young and needed something I could do without getting on the floor. I’ve had back surgery and both knees totally replaced. Exercising on the floor isn’t easy. Thank you so much for this video. It’s just what I needed.

[@arthritisadventure]

Glad you liked the video!

[@jmc8076]

When able to get down to the floor you can buy a thick exercise mat - diff sizes and thickness. Just an idea. : )

[@LadyKaSim]

I have both RA &OA. I just found this video. I’m starting today!

[@arthritisadventure]

Wonderful!

[@PamelaModugno]

I really enjoyed this seated yoga practice. I am overweight, have arthritis and recently had both knees replaced. I obviously need your assistance! I feel good after one session!

[@ShannonLochner]

This is exactly what I've been looking for and need as I am at the highest weight I've been in and my mobility has become very limited. This is going to help me so much!!!! Thank you!

[@ElsieJoy39]

Thank you both for such a sensible exercise routine. No loud music, no fancy exercise gear...just two enthusiastic normal people. Thank you, thank you. Am so glad I found you. Will now go look at your other videos ❤

[@arthritisadventure]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@eileenvacheresse361]

I love this video and tried it today for the first time. I am so excited and I know that I will start to feel better. As long as I do this I do have rheumatoid arthritis and I've had it for 30 years I have, but every medication you can imagine including biologicals, but I want to feel better I can't move and I feel that I've put on weight and areas. I don't want like my thighs and stomach, I just hit the big 60 and I can't believe it. I want to look good and feel good at 60. This is just the start.!

[@arthritisadventure]

I’m so glad you found this and took action to get started! Can’t wait to hear about your progress!

[@kelh3012]

Thank you soooo much!! I’m on day 2!! I have fibromyalgia and need good sleep and MOVEMENT! This is perfect. Really appreciate both of you for sharing!❤

[@arthritisadventure]

You're so welcome!

[@hollyjones5715]

I loved this video. Both of you are excellent instructors. I love how you remind us as we hold the stretch to pull in our abs, to remind us to breathe and what muscles we are focusing on. I just had both hips replaced due to arthritis. I’ll be doing theses exercises every day.

[@arthritisadventure]

glad you liked it! hope your recovery is going well

[@MyPassion1679]

Amazing , my neck was aching like anything, I exercised along and it was such a relief!

[@Someoneslove24]

I am 67 & after a straightforward ankle op I had a life threatening event. This gave me 5 weeks in bed followed by 7 weeks non weight bearing. I also had a gutter walker which consequently has meant my body has stopped working. My arthritis in my knees is awful, some days I can’t barely walk & my back hurts after the slightest walk. Thank you so much for this video.

[@arthritisadventure]

I appreciate you sharing your story and glad you like the channel. Best of luck with all the videos and your arthritis journey.

[@karenjones-t2r]

Activities for my late 60s self went from very high to next to nothing for many months. Knowing stretching and yoga would be good for me, I finally started that journey. Just today I found this workout, which is perfect for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@arthritisadventure]

Thanks for sharing!

[@bluelady549]

I just found this. It's wonderful! I feel better already. Thank you, ladies. Namaste. 🙏

[@shadrecknyathi825]

This was a wonderful exercise and I will practice every day.❤

[@arthritisadventure]

Wonderful!

[@catherinerosa-baker2937]

I like the yoga teacher's voice is common soothing and I like the physical therapist turning sideways so we can see the positions better. I feel so much better after these

[@adrinem4513]

I just heard about chair yoga. I have been unable to do much exercising at all due to arthritis and neuropathic pain. This is so well explained and I am inspired to give it a go. Thank you very much! 🥰🌻

[@kundryg9064]

How helpful these simple exercises are, for mobility & strength! Never thought that I would do chair yoga, but I love how you both lead with excellant direction and your wisdom explaining how it is beneficial. Keep up the good work. God bless you.

[@arthritisadventure]

You're so welcome!

[@manawasnodeo3519]

Thank you SO much!!! I have been looking for something to get my joints loose. Even after one session I feel refreshed and ready to MOVE!

[@arthritisadventure]

[@deeeddy4098]

I am a 76 year young female. Just had a cast taken off from an Achilles tendon lengthening surgery and I need to lose some weight. I found this chair workout and wow did I work up a sweat, it's awesome. Thanks so much for making this available, I'm hooked. See you back here tomorrow.

[@arthritisadventure]

Look forward to seeing you again on the channel!

[@emazey5044]

Adding chair yoga to my routine, that last one with modification #1 is a game changer! Figure 4 has been my nemesis for several years! Excited that now I can start working that area again, thanks for this!

[@arthritisadventure]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@mistymorning8656]

wonderful practice!

[@arthritisadventure]

Yep!

[@wendyparker7840]

Hi Alyssa and Cheri, I am amazed at your wonderful program as I have trapped nerves in my back and osteoarthritis. I have only done this regime for 3 days and it has already given me more mobility and less pain. I have been struggling for years. I cant thank you enough for this combination as it allows me to exercise and rest with poses releasing. MAGIC. Thanks so so much have not seen anything like this

[@paulinezehnder-swader]

Excellent collab. I love Cheri's Instagram posts. TY, Polly

[@arthritisadventure]

[@lemondrop818]

I fell on my left hip at work in 2016 and it's never been the same. so tight and painful.... I'm 61 and am so happy to have found this channel! I also just bought one of those vibrating plates to move the lymphatic system. I have a re-bounder, but I think the plate will be much better. Anyway, I loved this and am inspired to continue. Thanks for this video 🙂

[@joyceprendergast9270]

Been doing your Yoga routine. I'm now on week 2 & feeling stronger & flexible. I've even got my husband trying some of the moves. TY TY :)

[@pattyfriesz3385]

I absolutely love your exercise sessions. I have notice noticed however that some of your sessions' audios are harder to hear due to clarity that is muffled by the acoustics in the room that your are recording. You might want to look into moving your mike closer to you while recording. Love that you are helping us seniors stay mobile.

[@arthritisadventure]

We've changed some of our techniques in recent videos. Thank you for the feedback and glad you liked the video.

Hi, I did the first step challenge for better walking, I want through it quite easily , of course I had to put up with some fatigue but it wasn't a big deal. I have one partially operated knee (2021) that is now hurting more than before. My other knee, according to doctors has a lot of arthrose arthrose. I am 77 but I still take daily walks with my portuguese water dog. Looking forward to my second day challenge. Thanks a lot!
