Miss you, Bob 🙏🏼👍🏼💕

What happened to him?

Thank you!

[@GrannyLinn]

I’ve found that doing the sit-to-stand exercise often has made it progressively easier for me.

[@BobandBrad]

That's great to hear and nice for others as well to know it can work if you keep it up

[@brimoren7320]

I just tried getting out of chair using your first solution; it works. Thank you.

[@BobandBrad]

Great to hear it was helpful! Stay safe

[@dispatchdebbie]

Very helpful!! 👍🏼

[@BobandBrad]

So glad!

[@kenwdowler]

Another tip I've learned along with the first tip: when you scoot your bottom to the front, concentrate on putting your weight on your heels to take stress away from the knees.

[@BobandBrad]

thank you for the suggestion!

[@alcg3981]

My Mom had a Lift Recliner for many years before and after she became more disabled. The whole family loved it! It was a backsaver for my sister and I who became her major caregivers after she only had use of one leg and we had to transfer her to and from her wheelchair. Shop carefully, they're all different in some small way. Al

[@BobandBrad]

Very true

[@luvsabeach7952]

Getting out of restaurant booths are my challenge

[@BobandBrad]

That's a good idea for a video!

[@Jax52reg]

Most people lean then slide. Try moving your feet first then lean forward, pushing yourself up, then shift sideways. Practice at home off the edge of your bed.

[@chipper841]

Fellas, watch y'all everyday. Your advice is so great! Appreciate your knowledge sharing!👍👍

[@BobandBrad]

Thank you so much for your continued support, we really appreciate it!

[@cathyfield4765]

Thanks, I always learn from your videos. Chair selection can be limited. I'm currently shopping for a comfortable chair for my living room. The stores seem to have an abundance of low squishy ones. I may need to use the chair pad solution.

[@BobandBrad]

Great to hear it was helpful! Thank you for continuing to support us!

[@kathleenardrey5094]

Always understanding and wonderful practices. Would you consider addressing how great a toilet seat riser can be for folks??

[@BobandBrad]

I will add this to the to do list!

[@zebralove2840]

Sometimes if I'm at someone's house with a kind of low sofa or very cushy, I have to launch myself and it's not a pretty sight, lol. But I manage to get up.

[@louisesmith4251]

Something I have learned is to count to 10 after you stand up to make sure you are balanced before you step forward.

[@BobandBrad]

Great suggestion!

[@caitjohnson6021]

I also use one hand between my knees on the seat of the chair and push up with that hand and the other hand on the back of the chair or on the side of the chair for the stability. Don’t know if this will be tested by you, but it does help me. Thank you for the additional helps for me to learn.

[@BobandBrad]

Thanks for sharing!

[@maryloudelossantos1624]

Thank you for sharing your video. Tips are valuable & helpful.

[@AmyCat71]

Thank you for all your helpful content. You are bringing good medicine into the world.

Very helpful thank you and please could you give us a video of getting out of a car with a disability

[@Jax52reg]

Thank you for talking about the center of gravity. I learned about it in yoga. I am 72 and still do yoga!

[@BobandBrad]

You're so welcome!

[@stephaniecrays7841]

Great job guys. Thanks!!

[@BobandBrad]

Thanks for watching, take care!

Praying for Mr. Bob's health and speedy recovery

[@BobandBrad]

Thank you!

[@macha1617]

Got out of my chair by myself after watching this video. Thank you!!!

[@BobandBrad]

Awesome to hear it! Good job!

[@albertm8576]

Guys, thank you so much for all the tips and tricks you share every day, love your videos.

[@sleepinglioness5754]

Don't forget the throne....you can put your hands on either side of the toilet seat to push yourself up or reach behind and hold the lid to push yourself up. 👑

[@sandrataylor3723]

Thank you, guys, for showing this. I'm 67 and am having more and more difficulty getting up from a seated position, especially from bed. This will help me tremendously. Thanks!

[@marthacalkins8054]

I use a two-step solution: first, adjust the center of gravity by bending forward at the waist so your torso is parallel to the floor, while straightening your legs; then, once your legs are vertical, lift your torso to vertical.

[@rebecasalas5621]

GREAT! THANKS!

[@kathy.7475]

I’m going to teach this to some of my friends. I’m 71 and have no difficulty getting up from a chair. I can still get up off the floor without using my upper extremities but it’s getting more difficult. I’m working on increasing my strength so that I can hang on to this ability as long as I can. I miss seeing Bob.

[@marlenemercer4205]

Love this perfect for me thank you

[@BobandBrad]

You’re welcome 😊

[@victorialoveday9998]

Wow! I need that help! 😂 I sit too long at work and need to get up more often. Muscles get a tad stiff. Wouldn’t hurt to look up that leg strengthening video🫤

[@tonimoraful]

Thank you so much guys. I appreciate this.

[@lcflngn]

My dad had Parkinsons, & fractured his spine sitting too hard in a hard chair. Same chair he sat on for years. Wish we would’ve got him that cushion. great idea!

[@kellyb8237]

Use a car seat cushion on hard chair. Bought on sale $5, place it on all my chairs.

[@cloud-mo]

Mike unintentionally demonstrated yet another way to get out of an arm-less chair. Sitting with his legs spread wide he used his fists on the exposed part of the seat as leverage. I tried it myself and it works!

[@BobandBrad]

Perfect! Thanks for watching!

[@christineborgatti3760]

No problem getting up but am amazed at how stiff I am if I have been sitting for awhile.

[@nrs6956]

It's surprising how many chairs have no arms. Thank you for info.

[@tandajohnson8617]

Good help

[@linedezainde]

Perfect timing! My parents sit in huge Lazy Boy sofas, no arm rest if sitting in the middle and it's scary. Thanks for the tips!

[@BobandBrad]

You're so welcome!

[@BBGshop7]

Thanks in advance

[@galactic904]

Thanks a lot for the tip. My senior mom (90's) stays sitting down all day lately. She started using Amazon Alexa Echo device. We or she asks Alexa to remind her to get up from her chair every 30 min. all day long. She can get up by herself. However, i'm not sure if that's the best way to remind her. What do you think Ms. Santos? From Canada.

[@ruthh7343]

I was sitting on a bench with no armrests so I ended up pushing on the seat with one hand and using my cane in the other hand. It worked. It hurt but I ended up standing.

[@njerimaina]

Thank you so much for the knowledge you share. It is very helpful and encouraging. Do you have any video or advise on how to get up from a bed? Thanks

[@LorraineRobertsKarsgaard]

I love getting your advice, but can you demonstrate how a woman can get up from a chair in a modest feminine way.

[@cynthiaryan2901]

My husband has the same condition that Bob has. His problem is getting “into” a chair. Any videos for that? Thanks.

[@glendapolich7549]

Good video! ❤

[@marthy33]

yeah, nose over toes, the leaning forward first works.

[@dispatchdebbie]

What do you think of TENS units, guys????

[@suna03]

I was surprised that you made no mention of the risks of rolling/swivel desk chairs. Unless the person pushes straight down on the arms, carefully, the chair will roll back. Especially using just one armrest, as you demonstrated!! Please - roll the chair with its back to the desk first! Then you still must be careful to not put sideways pressure on either armrest causing it to swivel as you come to a stand. Huge fall risk!! Signed, Retired OTA

[@fingerprint5511]

Thanks guys. Any advice on when the body is so sore from Arthritis and lack of sleeping well that it becomes so weak its hard to move and its a vicious cycle where you must push yourself then aches increase and around again?

[@Josephine-x2c]

I bought your machine how long will battery life lasts???? The mini qt in red

[@sylviamaxwell504]

I push a chair..with wheels...or rollator...against a solid wall or piece of furniture, before I sit down or stand up...

What style chair are you using

How can I get out of my recliner easier? The tipping forward puts my knees so low for standing up from.

[@BobandBrad]

Here is a video you may be interested in kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIrFXqluhpellc0

[@valeriematthews3245]

Thank you for your suggestion. My husband did try to build a frame a while back, but because the recliner is also a rocker, it tilts too far down in front to make getting out easier. We broke down and bought a power lift chair, but unfortunately, it was too firm and triggered nerve pain I have from surgery behind my tailbone. Love your videos. @@BobandBrad

[@robertabrozic3278]

I have s we vere ra so very difficult getting up out of any chair my bf has to help me all the time .WILL TRY THESE TY. I HAVE SEVERE PRONATION AND DUCK FEET THAT ADDA TO THE PROBLEM ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR TY HIS TY

You know it's getting bad when people make a video about getting up from a chair lol what's next? How to pick up something from the floor?

[@user-ih7gc7dt9l]

I use my wind problem to arise from my chair. Occasionally this results in 💩.

[@ruthcanterbury7738]

You didn’t address someone who has recently had bypass surgery and can’t us their arms to help lift themselves out of the chair.

[@MomIrregardless]

hmmm maybe i am just dumb and clumsy, but how would i get a chair near me while i am sitting in a chair? where would i put it so it's ready to help me? how would i reach it? i barely have room to put the walker i am getting now. maybe i just dont understand....'scoot it to the side'.....ahhhhhhhahahahaha!! i am not in a nursing home, where there is empty space everywhere around me!! i am in a cluttered old house!! too funny! and what about comfort? my recliner is soft and comfy, important since i must sit a lot! goodness, i am not sitting for hours in a hard, narrow, kitchen chair to 'rest' and 'relax'....as to the lift chair, be sure you have a guarantee, make sure it's comfortable for sitting! my insurance got me one, it's terrible and useless!! hard as a rock, impossible to recline and be rested! tried to return/exchage it, and , NOPE , they wouldnt even consider it! shameful on the local medical supply store!!

[@timothyvanderschultzen9640]

10 minute video on how to get out of a chair? I dont have 10 minutes every time I need to get up!

Lol picturing you having to pull up a video every time you need to get up.

[@markjames2339]

Then don't watch it.

Idiotic comment from someone who obviously didn't watch the first 2 minutes....it's 9 different options, not 1. Guess you actually don't need the suggestions, lucky you.
