Thanks Chanon. I'm a retired 65 year old who really wasn't into sport activities in my past, except lots of walking. So about 6 months ago I started to get active after my body couldn't do a lot of common day moves and activities except watch TV. I discovered Stick Mobilty exercises about 2 weeks ago and found this great video. Since than I been following this exercise almost every 2nd day. I am very, very happy that I can now say that I can keep up with you but surely not bend or flex like you, as of yet. I've looked and tried some of your other stick exercises but they are a little too advance for me at this time. I was wondering if you can do another beginner video your viewers can follow until we get to the next level. I liked and subscribed to your channel and will invest into a Kettle ball and maybe a clubbell so I can follow along with you on those exercises. Thanks again Chanon. Awesome workout.

Kristy! Welcome and great work! Your awareness of your progress is so great and a key to keeping you motivated. Yes, I will happily keep making new videos for you! Have you tried the new video that just came out this weekend? The Chest and Shoulder Opener. It's about 20 minutes long. There's also "Front Back Side to Side" that is a great 15 minute standing workout. And there's a 25ish minute all seated stick workout. (As for kettlebells and clubs - starting with less weight is a good thing. 1-2 lb. Clubbells and 3-10lb kettlebells.) I'd love to know if you have specific limitations or areas you want to focus so I can tailor a video to your needs as well.

Thanks for your reply Chanon. Yes I saw the chest and shoulder video yesterday but unfortunately I over indulged in exercise so I'm hurting a little today. Listen to my body as they say. Therefore I couldn't follow that exercise today but will attempt it tomorrow. The older you get the longer it takes to recuperate. I wouldn't be able to do the bow exercise fully as I am only using a broomstick and moving up to a dowel soon. In the future I will invest in a Stick Mobility stick. I also watched the seated workout as I just started to incorporate seated exercises into my routines. I have been doing Cardio, walking, strength and balance exercises. I am all over the place doing these exercises, no organization. The great thing is that I am getting my coordination back as I watch and participate in all these moves you girls do on video. When I started I was using 2lb weights as time went along I slowly moved up in weight to currently 15lbs except in walking or cardio I use 2 to 5 lbs. I was thinking of starting with an 8lb or 10lb Kettleball. My main goal is to get moving, get more flexible and move up in levels as I progress. Just get these old bones, muscles and joints loose so hopefully I don't develop arthritis or other forms of body ailments from lack of mobility. I hope this helps you, Chanon. Thanks again. Kirsty

@kristylopez1418 definitely listen to your body! Do what feels right for you. Sounds like you're doing a lot already. I'm glad to hear you're seeing progress and it sounds like you've come a long way already. An 8-10lb kettlebell is a great weight to start doing 2 handed swings, one of my favorite exercises because of how quickly it can get you feeling more capable and mobile. You've given me a great idea for a new video, at least a short to explain alternatives to getting the stretch you get from the bow without having the bendable stick. (Even without bending the stick, it feels great!)

@ChanonFinley Жыл бұрын
@@Taichipopolsku I have other sticks that are heavier, but for this particular workout, I would recommend focusing on that push and pull of the stick before moving into higher weights. -- Using grip strength to engage muscles throughout the body. You can intensify the workout just by putting more effort into shortening and pulling apart the stick. (While most of this workout would be fine with a heavier weight, it increases the chance of tweaking something. The goal here is exploring your range of motion and finding those sticky areas.)

@@denisemcgillivray3537 depends on the height of your husband and daughter, but overall, a 5ft stick would likely be the better choice for the whole group. The stick length is based upon your armspan (for this video). You can use shorter or longer based on the space you have available and your size, but even a broomstick or swiffer would be fine for most of these exercises.
