Thank you for the easy intro walk! I'm extremely overweight but also have chronic ankle pain due to surgery and hardware installed over 2 decades ago. Pair that with limited lung capacity from the effects of Covid 3 years ago and working out seems daunting and unreachable. I finished my first workout in years thanks to you and it was so much easier with your encouragement and gentle at your pace reminders. Thank you and I can't wait to be the healthiest me I can be!

I am so glad to see you’re here and starting with your journey to a healthier you! Welcome to my channel! Just to help you navigate the channel, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate) and categorize them all into the playlists. If you enjoyed this one, you can find plenty more at this same level under the 'gentle level' playlists. I hope you enjoy more of the workouts when you try them out. I also have a second channel for seated workouts and will add the link: youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts The seated workouts are great workouts as well and also offer 3 levels. Depending on how you feel each day, you will be able to find something that will suit your energy. I am excited for you as you get started!

We don’t judge ourselves by what others can do, or even whatever we used to do. We’ve (almost) learned to just do our best and not beat ourselves up over what we can’t. You’ve been a good mentor.
