@@arthritisadventure thank you. i had a spinal fusion, ive had carpal tunnel surgery, a dvt after a knee injury where i dislocated my knee and had to set it back myself.. ive had a rough couple of years. im only 49 and i plan to show my body that i still have alot of life to live lol the back surgery gave me my life back honestly. they removed a disc, added a small cage filled with cadaver bone so itd fuse with mine, freed up pinched nerves.. im so grateful and im grateful for your vids. theyre helping me to safely and slowly strengthen and not overdo myself. i do modify some things but i dont want to just sit around or get weak. dont worry, im being careful. but i appreciate your help too. 🫶

God bless you Alyssa. I am 73 yrs old woman, living in Hungary Middle-Europe. You help me to walk again❤

[@arthritisadventure]

So glad to hear! Keep the walking up!

[@pennellpennell3265]

Wow, I really didn't expect to get my heart rate up in just 10 minutes! That was awesome! I was diagnosed recently with osteoarthritis arthritis in both knees, but never had any issues until recently with my right knee. I'm used to being active and working out regularly, and I'm determined not to let this arthritis own me! I just completed your 3-day exercise routine for improving walking; and tonight I signed up for your 14-day free trial. I'm excited to start it tomorrow!😊❤

[@annekent6029]

Thank you Alyssa for spending time showing us how to keep mobile.💕

Hello Alyssa. I just did this entire video in a walker! At least I moved as much as possible, even using my tip toes when necessary. My Piriformis, Psoas are so tight that I cannot walk. I see a medical massage therapist but they can't seem to release the muscle no matter how hard they press. Would you have exercises for the glutes I could use in a chair? I just love your videos. You are in such great shape which is a perfect example for all watching. I'm 68 and all crunched up. No arthritis, just tight muscles. Thanks for all you do...God Bless You.

[@arthritisadventure]

Thank you for sharing and I'm so glad you like the videos. I will add the glute exercises to the list of potential future videos.

[@user-ss2he6vl8h]

Both of my knees are bone on bone and I usually do the chair work outs. But I wanted to incorporate some standing cardio. Thank you so much for having someone in your video that looks like me. It really motivated me.

[@arthritisadventure]

Glad you liked the video! Keep on the lookout for future videos with people from the arthritis community.

[@mercygirl317]

did this again. it doesnt look hard but it really does get the heart going. im gonna do this every other day just to make sure i dont do too much.

[@arthritisadventure]

Glad you like the workout!

[@ingridramirez4436]

[@ghc26]

Thank you so much for all your thoughtfulness in these videos. I’m 60 years young and had a TKR 5 months ago. I was “successfully released” from PT at 10 weeks because I was at zero extension and 125 degrees flexion, and completed all their requirements, but I want to do more than simply walk in our house and errands. I want to return to doing more things that I enjoy. I ran track at a D1 University and at one time very active in a variety of sports. Now, I’m doing nothing. I didn’t have my patella replaced but it had a lot of decay I had extensive damage to the femur. I can’t kneel as per my doctor so I’ve been trying your videos and hoping this will help me add more strength over time so I can get back to enjoying life.

[@markmead7321]

This is a great program! I’m totally uncoordinated and need time for my brain to engage movements correctly if arm and shoulders are included. You go at a nice pace and explain exercises well ❤🎉😊

[@traynorheather5155]

I have Rhumatoid Arthritis and this has been such a help to me. I was struggling to get up out of a chair or kneel down but now I do both easily. If I had to do a long drawn out exercise classes, I wouldn’t keep it up but with these shorter sessions, it’s easy to stick to and something I’ve never said before about exercise, ENJOYABLE! 😅 Thank you!

Hi Alyssa. After doing this exercise yesterday, I woke this morning with right side of body hurting. I am 59 years old, postmenopause. I was wondering if this is down to not exercising enough. I loved the video. Thank you 😊

[@arthritisadventure]

Discomfort may be caused for a few reasons: using different muscles, attempting new movements, too much too quickly, need for upper body support, recovery, what the rest of your day looks like, muscle imbalances that may be present, etc. The key is helping your body to recover. You’ve got this.

[@gary6463]

Very helpful video. I need to share your videos with my Father who has arthritis in his knees. Thank you for these videos.

Thank you for this workout, I have arthritis in both knees and right hip, I've been for physio and advised to exercise. 20 years ago I competed in female bodybuilding and strong lady so have damage from that. I've been doing this workout every morning now for two weeks before I start work, on the rest I use light kettle bells to work bicep, tricep and shoulders. Thanks again I am starting to feel stronger in my legs, I just have to work on my left knee a bit more as it has only recently become a problem. Also I have found cycling to help I do this 4 days a week for 30 mins on a stationary bike then stretching after. 😊

Hi Alyssa Question? Is this good to do before lifting weights and i want to also ask?? I am fine for upper body weights but unsure about lower because of OA in my knee. Should i just do the leg videos you have for OA in my knee or could you please tell me or make a video on what lower body weight training works with OA in the knees? Thank you. Pam

[@teamanko]

Is it safe to do those exercies while in pain?

[@CptZhu]

Hey Alyssa. Please help me out. Im doing boxing training but my feet are extremely stiff and painful 10 mins. Into the training. I cannot move anymore, but still have stamina. Foot just hurts so much. We do rope skipping, lots of footwork, pivoting. Are my feet just weak or what gives?
