Thank you for your video on stretching and upper body workout! Just came across them and feel really great. Felt a little stiff and achy today. I am not a senior but was in a car accident back in February and suffered some neck issues that cause me much discomfort. Besides doing what my Doctor recommend, I taking control of my health and doing what is best for me in the long term. Will keep these videos handy to do when not doing other therapies. Have a great day and thank you again.❤️ Jessica

You're welcome Jessica. Great work with the exercises, and great work taking control of your health! Keep it up, and all the best with everything!

Thank you for the eye exercises. They are very good for me. One question: I wear sight glasses all the time. Do we do these exercises whilst wearing sight glasses or without my glasses - specially for the long distance outside focus. Thai you.

[@MoreLifeHealth]

Hey Charlotte. You're welcome. Give your eyes a break whilst doing the exercises, take your glasses off.

[@howardmarshall4651]

Hi I need the stretching and general easy work out.in view of CV19 I have had 2 ops cancelled, rotator cuff and ruptured Achilles(fall) I stop when I feel pain in my shoulder and have difficulty with the marching . Am I doing more damage to myself as I do feel better for it. Howard

[@MoreLifeHealth]

Howard I can't answer this question, best to check with your doctor in person...... It sounds like you are being cautious which is good. Movement is important, If you feel better this is a good sign. Never push into any pain!

[@genieolafson6379]

Love these simple and easy exercises for seniors. Easy to follow along and about the right amount of time.

Glad you find the exercises helpful Genie! :)
