I am 87 yrs old n i am Doing most of these Excercises. I have learnt Some mote today. Thank you.

[@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!

[@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!

[@rowenayeung1906]

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👏🏻.

[@MegaMex07]

[@arthritisadventure]

Welcome!

[@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!

[@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!

[@geetaprasad4772]

Thank you , Alyssa kuhn . I am following all your exercises daily. You are excellent in your profession. Thanks once again. Geeta.

[@arthritisadventure]

You are so welcome!

kudos to 87 year old! excellent. inspiring.

[@arthritisadventure]

Thank you! I will send her your comment! It will make her day.

[@idarabassey7455]

that was an excellent routine- my legs feel stronger and energized- thank you!

[@joancurts1844]

Great video, I have osteoarthritis and osteopenia in hips, knees, and spine. This video was very helpful.

[@arthritisadventure]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sfbeancounter]

I love your videos, and i like the fact that you are explaining what muscles or joints each exercise affects

[@arthritisadventure]

Glad you like them!

[@PauloSantos-nm8lj]

Thank you Alyssa and the fit Lady!

[@arthritisadventure]

💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@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.

[@janinebollhoefer4325]

This was great. Thank you both. Good for warm up before outside walk.

[@arthritisadventure]

yes! I love it!

[@MichonJackson-hy5kv]

Love this workout,Thank you both!

[@arthritisadventure]

Glad you liked the video!

[@JulieDrz]

P.S. So I have not been as consistent as before because of increased pain. I was LOVING all of Alyssa’s moves before the pain increased.

[@ghittaeibschutz9513]

Thank you Alyssa, your videos are the best!👏💕💐

[@arthritisadventure]

I appreciate your kind words!

[@charlestonscnative9083]

Thank you Alyssa and grandmother-in-law! 😀

[@arthritisadventure]

you're welcome!

[@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.

[@esterpretorius3624]

Excellent!!! really enjoyed this wow my heart is beating lekker. KEEP IT UP.. WE'RE GETTING FIT AND HEALTHY
