Working on my balance is very very important to me. I like that you can make any workout- balance walking, or anything else at your own pace and level. Thanks again.❤

[@yes2next]

Thank you! Glad you enjoy the workouts! It's always good to workout at a pace that is your own. Your body receives the max benefits from your workout by doing so! 👏 Pleased also that balance is important to you! 👏 Doing so keeps the inside and outside of your body working well too! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️

[@chrisperkins6403]

Playing random videos (obviously, since this is now 2024!) -- and having fun finding such variety.

[@yes2next]

Thank you! That's a good idea! Different workouts work different muscles so fun will be popping up soon! Nice work! 👏 Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️

[@robertakeogh8650]

I found these exercises challenging, but I will persevere.❤

[@yes2next]

Thank you! That's the spirit! 👏 Go at a pace that is comfortable for you and build from there! No need to rush! Slo Mo is good! Don't give up! Keep challenging yourself and you will do it! Keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️

[@elisebraswell7089]

I'm a senior I am so happy that I found you I enjoy my work out with you and your Mom . You girls energize me Thank you

[@yes2next]

Thank you! So happy you found us too! Mom loves ❤️ having “kids” like you working out with her! It’s great that you are exercising to keep your body strong for the years ahead! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️

[@leemariesanchez6033]

THANK you to you both and a special thank you to Aiko for modeling how to be OK holding the chair as we work towards letting go. I am vision challenged andit is obvious to me that my balance is greatly affected. I appreciate these!

[@yes2next]

You are very welcome! 👏 Thanks much for joining us! Glad the workouts are helping! Mom says Hi and knows her balance needs work too so holding on to the chair helps! She is pleased you do the same until your balance improves! Safety first always! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️

[@judyhalliday3674]

Thank you so much. Love ALL your videos. I get disheartened when I see all these really young, super flexible, skinny girls teaching an old dog new tricks, which I can never manage at my age. You both inspire me. I'll keep trying with you two on my side.

[@yes2next]

We are honored to be by your side and are cheering you on! We are believers in starting out at your own pace and level and building from there. Slow and steady is the best way to increase strength and stamina. We know you can do it! Thank you for exercising with us. Look forward to seeing you soon! ❤️

[@darrylschenk8990]

your mom seems a little frustrated with balance. If she could only see me, she'd feel better! We are going to get this together! We'll beat this balance thing! Thank you for exercising with your daughter and helping the rest of us!

[@yes2next]

Thank you! Good to see you! Yup, Mom and balance and coordination are her Achilles heel, for sure! But she was glad to know you share in the balance frustrations and hopes you will do what she is doing which is practice, practice and practice to get better! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! Happy New Year to you and yours too! ❤️

Great exercises and I was able to do them all without using a chair. Love your Mom's spirit.

[@yes2next]

Great job!! 👏Mom is impressed ! She still needs the chair (like the training wheels?) but is determined to get rid of it! Happy you can join us!

[@leaht4505]

Thanks so much. My mom and I both need balance work, we will do these❤️

[@kirsteenreed6776]

Lovely balance exercises. It really shows our ‘strong’ side when balancing. Thank you April and mum. 😀😀

[@yes2next]

Yes, very true! Keep on giving special attention to that weaker side to balance things out. Thank you for spending time with us, as always! ❤️

Thank you! So happy to have your company! 💖 Mom and Mochi send hugs and kisses back to you! Keep moving with us!!

[@lindafromcalifornia1155]

I enjoyed doing day 1 of this challenge and balance was an excellent choice to begin with. We must have balance in our exercises that we do, but we must have balance in our everyday lives as well.

[@yes2next]

Thank you! Yes, balance is soo important no matter your age and as we get older, our bodies need a stronger balance core to prevent falls, etc! So keep moving with us!

[@vyvienn]

Ooof! This was much harder than I'd thought! Even before the surgery I had balance problems, but now that my ab muscles aren't where they were two weeks ago, I can really feel a difference. Thank you for making this video so easy to follow; I'll keep it on the list until I can do ab training again (and probably after that). P.S. Happy anniversary!

[@yes2next]

Thank you for joining us! When you are ready to begin exercising again start slow and at a pace that is comfortable and build up from there! The important thing is to move even for just a few minutes! We hope you feel better soon! ❤️

[@hansaratanjee118]

Surprisingly, more challenging than anticipated. Many thanks for always being innovative.

[@annemcfadzen274]

Having spent 9mths in hospital in my late teenage years with TB meningitis I’ve always had a balance problem which has slightly improved but will never be totally right . This one is an exceptionally long work in progress.!

[@yes2next]

We admire your efforts to improve your balance! 👏 Hopefully, over time your body will start regaining its ability to do so! Keep practicing the balance routines to help you!

[@maryjohnson164]

I had a stroke from an existing heart condition and it affected my balance the most. Thank for this and the safety for me to be able to do these.

[@yes2next]

Thank you! So happy we can help! You are doing the best thing to improve your balance by moving! 👏 Practice each day for a few minutes with a chair or something stable. Your balance will improve and you will begin to feel much more confident!

[@deniseingram7686]

Thank you for the challenge. I found out doing this challenge. I don’t have very good balance. So I really need this.Thank you.

[@yes2next]

Thank you! Keep working the balance moves! You will find your mind and body responding and you will definitely notice an improvement! Keep moving with us!

[@staceydroogas928]

I had not found your site when your earlier videos came out. I'm so glad that I found this one in my search for a short balance routine. I practice balance using various methods every other or 3rd day. These moves are completely foreign, and don't you know I surprised my brain by working harder to accomplish them. I've noticed that some days my efforts are perfect, and others I'm a bit "off kilter," which is fine. My goal is to keep those balancing muscles in shape and now, with these new approaches, keep those balance muscles newly "informed!" Great routine and worth perfecting! Thank you both!...Anastasia

[@yes2next]

Thank you! Good to see you and to find out what the latest exercising routines you are involved int! Balance moves are important for sure! It's good that you are practicing balance moves because eventually your brain will remember the link to your muscles to keep you in balance. It's like training your "little grey cells" as Poirot would say to do it right! Keep practicing! You are doing great! Keep moving with us too! See you soon! ❤️

[@staceydroogas928]

For sure. I'll be working this "new" routine for some time. Oh, I LOVE Poirot. I've programmed this series, and am sorry to say, most are now ones I've seen. I believe I still have a few unseen ones to watch. Miss Marple is another one I watch. In fact, I'm a PBS/BBC fan and have programmed a slew of them! I contribute to PBS and NPR, too. Thank you both!...Anastasia

[@marilynrichardson9730]

I did this first day Anniverary Challenge for balance. It certainly is challenging and although I think I did ok I certainly need to keep working on this. Thanks to you both.
