[@arthritisadventure]

absolutely! thanks for watching

[@heatherangellight8558]

Wow! I watched so many PT people on KZbin and honestly you are the best! I did one of your balance videos this morning next to a wall and fell on the wall three times and when I did it again an hour later, I didn’t fall once! Our bodies learned so quickly and body memory is such a good thing. Thanks for the patience you take making these videos and I hope you really hold it in your heart that you’re helping so many people! I’ve worked with dozens of PT people for years and years and years and watching your videos help me more than they ever did! Hi to both of your grandmothers!

[@arthritisadventure]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'll let my grandmother's know!

[@shirleychang2071]

[@milasmith-gk6zj]

madam .before you do exercise check your diet.avoid all foods no purines contains fats and sweets..then try to do exercise slowly ❤❤❤

[@marlyndataylor2925]

Your grandma is a real trooper. I'm 76 and she inspired me to try these to improve my balance. Many thanks to your Grandma!

[@arthritisadventure]

Thank you so much!!

[@michaelpepper7230]

I walk with a cane and I will be having my knee replaced in a few months time. I've done this set of exercises a few times now and find them great. So I signed up for the 3 day exercise course and did day 1 straight after this again. I'm feeling good. Now doing some resistance band workout on upper body and back. Also I've lost over 8 kgs in the last month of doing more moving and diet. The surgeon will be happy with the outcome after he told me to lose weight.

[@parisbreakfast]

Thank you for doing the FULL ROUTINE with us 🎉

[@arthritisadventure]

You are so welcome!

[@eloiseramos8876]

[@kalyanisk8008]

Same here. All the best. Will try to do myself.

[@lorenegibson2946]

This is so helpful to me. Practical movements that I can follow along with. This shows me where I am stiff and week. Love it.

[@arthritisadventure]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lindareinartz239]

I started doing these exercises 2 days ago! I really enjoy doing them with you and GMA-in-law!! I’m almost 80 but I took a fall last year that left 2 compression fractures in my back so I have real balance issues 🥰. I’m really hoping these will help🤨. I really like them so far. Thank you to both of you👏🏻.

[@preetiaggarwal4346]

You are not just good , you are fantastic . More strength to the rocking duo!!

[@MargaretTonkin]

Thank you Alyssa and Grandma - so so helpful for hip pain.

[@ruthmurray3311]

Uh

[@andrad54]

Thank you so much. Such a refreshing video. Actually showing what to do. Most of these videos people talk and talk for an hour without saying what to do except pay and subscribe! Thank you again!

[@arthritisadventure]

You are so welcome!

[@luciehsuen8981]

Thank you so much for showing us all these moves. They were helpful. Understanding how to shift our weight is important at any age. Having an older person in the exercise is nice. Shows we can move at any age. No excuses. Mother in law rocked it!! Good job both of you. Love the pace as well with the rest in between each different moves.

[@arthritisadventure]

You're welcome! I'll let her know of your comment!

[@anitacovey4685]

I'm so thankful that I found you! I can do these exercises as a beginner and you don't make me feel like I'll never be able to. I'm 82 and trying hard to get stronger after hip replacement. Thank you

[@arthritisadventure]

You are welcome! I'm so glad you found the channel too. Make sure to share with friends and family that can benefit.

[@rowenayeung1906]

[@kayplayforth9007]

What A Fabulous Video Alyssa & Grandma 👌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 ❤❤ Inspirational Girls 👌🏽👌🏽🇭🇲🦘🇭🇲🦘🇭🇲🦘🇭🇲 Thank You BOTH xxx

[@arthritisadventure]

[@MegaMex07]

Thank you so much Dr. Kuhn I have been doing your workouts for a few days now! Let me tell you it has made my walking very manageable, I will keep doing them all the time!!! Your grandma is in amazing shape God bless you both ❤

[@arthritisadventure]

Thank you so much!

[@hortensiaguerrero6377]

Hi Dr Kuhn you are amazing I’m 95 years old and I suffer a lot from my knees since I stared looking at your video and doing the excerize s along with you and granny I feel so much better thank you so much I hope you don’t mind me calling your grandma granny it that’s the way my grandkids call me so thanks again your are awesome . oh by the way do you have any exercises for neuropathy on your feet?

[@1521CeCe]

This was great! I had ruptured tendon & flat foot reconstructive surgery 3 months ago. I was going to PT, but felt the exercises were too advanced. This workout was just enough to challenge me but not too much to discourage me. 👏👏👏

[@arthritisadventure]

I'm glad you liked the video!

[@lyndamadrid-miller695]

You’re such a blessing!😇🌟👏🤗💪💝. I love the detail and patience you have with us! I had my left knee replaced and still having difficulty walking. And I was told I now need my right hip replaced. And with your confidence I know I can rehab with you later but until I get my hip replaced I’m sticking with you!!! ❤🎉 Thank you again for helping those of us that need you:)💝😀

[@arthritisadventure]

You are so welcome and thanks for sharing!

[@secretariatgirl4249]

This is EXCELLENT! It covers all the bases and pinpoints areas where there is pain (hip). And, this seems to be a great warm up if the time on movements is cut back...I've had trouble warming up properly before walking, so this seems to really work all the important muscles!😍 And, my tracker says I even hit moderate and vigorous heart rate zones! I have a big toe that hasn't moved enough since my first surgery at age 16, so this is very helpful from an aerobic standpoint for me, too...(I'm nearing 73!)

[@creativequeen8371]

Excellent. A very encouraging comment. Well done.

[@charlestonscnative9083]

Thank you Alyssa and grandmother-in-law! 😀

[@karengreear1420]

Thank you for the gentle workout, this would be great for my community to add to they're exercise classes but would need it on a DVD to share.❤

[@arthritisadventure]

We currently do not have DVDs, but my membership Adventurers for Life has many more videos in the workout library.

[@saundraweed9738]

Can’t wait to try these. They feel safe and doable and at a reasonable pace. Thanks for sharing. I feel that many PT don’t do a gradual build up but expect you to jump right in from 0-10.

[@arthritisadventure]

modifications and making sure you've master a movement are critical. That's the whole reason I made Adventurers for Life!

[@patread643]

Recovering from a fibula fracture, badly sprained ankle and bone on bone knee.my knee and ankle have been so painful and stiff. Since starting doing these exercises the last 10 days I feel a lot more flexibility and less pain. I have been holding myself together with Velcro ankle and knee supports. Today I was more active than usual and never needed the knee support. I am hoping I will be able to postpone needing a knee replacement for a few more years using these exercises. I am also walking so much better. Not my normal but much improved. So very glad I found your videos. Thanks so much.

[@pacitaortiz3192]

Thank you so much big help to me. Will challenge myself to ease my knee pain and improve my walking

[@arthritisadventure]

You can do it!
