Hi Karen in Wales, I just cannot get it into my head why it is, that you only have 544 subs and so very few likes, and that, after 2 years of Yt "broardcasting"!! You make so many good videos, in the form of their quality, your topics, the editing and your humour.., well done Karen, keep up the good work.., even if it is only just for me. Thanks, Steve in Switzerland.

[@RenLuuk]

Awwww Steve! You are so sweet!! And very kind. It is funny about the KZbin algorithm. My channel really doesn’t have a niche. But that is ok. I do it for the fun and I love to think I might help people along the way. And I discovered I love editing. Who knew. I’m working on a few at the moment ... but work (that pays me) gets in the way 😂

[@TheSoldierFamilyNetwork]

so many working from home probably dont realize they arent being healthy. There may not be others around to let them know. what great tips! im gonna be more conscious now

[@RenLuuk]

You are so right. We are all used to sitting at our desks working ... but this is very different. I equate it with flying economy on a long haul flight. We are stuck in our chairs for many many hours. Hope you find something to work for you!!! Happy new year!!

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

We both suffer from back pain occasionally, which is why we're considering a better setup. We got cushions but they might not be the best ones. Love the laptop stand. That elliptical is brilliant, Karen. These are great tips.

[@RenLuuk]

Thanks so much, guys. Sorry for the late comment - just turned up in my notification! I should have mentioned my standing desk as well. That is a great help if you are able to get something like that set up. Hope you guys are doing well x

[@HandsFullHeartFull]

All of these are fantastic tips. I don’t work from home but I’ll definitely use these tips at work. I sometimes will just stand at my desk.

[@RenLuuk]

Yes! I actually have a standing desk behind my “sitting” desk. I use the standing desk for normal work but sit to teach. I might start standing more to teach to mix it up a bit. That is my next experiment ... 🥰🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍷

[@FLACKFAM]

😂 I loved the beginning of this! A good momma knows best! Great tips and reminders of what can help save your back! Your elliptical is awesome!

[@RenLuuk]

Thanks guys! Hope you are well. I do love my elliptical! 🙏🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍷

[@FLACKFAM]

@@RenLuuk I am going to look into getting one, such a great idea!

[@SantosChronicles]

Your videos are just so creative. I love the fun "legal disclaimer," it's like you are an attorney or something. I finally gave in and got a home office set up - or did it speed up my KZbin Home Studio. I love my Yetti Microphone but is that a wind screen you also have. That was my best KZbin purchase by far!!!! All Work From Home folks needs to watch your video. Always look forward to each of your video.

[@RenLuuk]

😂 you noticed the disclaimer 😂. I love the Yeti as well. That is just a shield thing for when you say “s” or “p” too closely into the mic. Good for voice overs. This was my first time using Adobe Audition for the voice overs. I typically only use it for getting rid of noise. But was really easy. Will need to learn more for next time ... as always, thanks for the support 🙏🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍷🍷🍷

[@zestygirl]

This is great! I should have such a bad back - I completely sit on my leg and have such terrible posture! What?? are you not a tightrope walker LOL I like the memory foam cushions! What a cool stand Karen! This is such a useful video! X

[@RenLuuk]

Thanks so much again!! I am actually working on the next video for back issues. It is a big problem for loads of home workers. Hope you guys are well down under 🥰🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍷

[@abcwildlife6423]

Everything is so well though out, violent and its looks great! Excellent information brother.Loved it

[@RenLuuk]

Thanks so much!! It really does seem to work for me 🙏🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍷

[@bradandamy]

Hey Karen! We loved this one! I've had back pain since my mid-20s so I paid close attention 👀 I'm going to look into one of those foam cushions. Of course we loved the TV and movie clips!🎞😄

[@RenLuuk]

Great! I am working on the next one which may have even more ideas for you xx

[@YummyLVTube]

I need this cushion, thanks for the tips Karen😊🇯🇵

[@RenLuuk]

Any time! Those cushions are definitely a game changer!!! Thanks so much for watching x

[@melissatravels2023]

Great ideas!! I need an elliptical just to keep myself moving while on the computer!

[@RenLuuk]

It truly has been a life changer for me. The fluid retention was the other huge issue for me. But this changed it all for me. Hope you are able to get one as well 🥰🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍷🍷

[@imethan-youtubetips1770]

Good tips and insights Karen. Thumbs up from a small creator 😅

[@RenLuuk]

Thanks so much 🙏🥰🍷

[@NonaMaryGrace1952]

Hello Karen, this was really interesting. You give the best information and have the most amazing clips. thanks for sharing. I have the bicycle and it is true you hit your knees a lot. 💕NonnaGrace

[@RenLuuk]

Awww Nonna Grace. You are so kind to me. Have to admit I love looking for just the right clips. It’s a lot of fun. I am working on the bedroom back gizmos at the moment. Hopefully out this weekend. There may be a few surprises in that one ... things that have also really really helped me. Thinking of you and your country during these times. Your videos are so good at keeping spirits up 🥰🙏🍷🍷🍷

[@TheStephensonGrechFamily]

what some really great tips, i love the idea of the cushion

[@RenLuuk]

Thanks so much!!! Really appreciate your comment. Sorry for the late response - it just appeared in my feed. Hope you guys are doing well x

[@loisenhome7177]

Very informative, I usually have this problem, thanks for the tips😊 I need to remember this👍🏻🛎

[@RenLuuk]

Thank you for watching! I am literally editing my next back help video - things in the bedroom! Should be up in a couple of days!!! Please come back and watch that one as well. Hope you keep safe and well 🙏🥰🍷

[@melissatravels2023]

Hey....I thought you were a Jedi Master!!!

[@RenLuuk]

Only on weekends 😉

[@VioletHenning]

Awesome Video K. Love the inserts. Always gets me smiling. Great information and tips on saving your back at the office. This video speaks to me. I have so many issues with my back. Thanks for helping out as always. Oh and i was waiting for the part where you ask:did you even realize i was paddling on the eliptical this whole time.... I rest my case your honor. 😂😂😂

[@RenLuuk]

You are thinking like a lawyer now ... all you need to do is follow my strict instructions in the video 😂

[@VioletHenning]

Will do for sure. Already got a standing desk on your recommendation.

[@RenLuuk]

Really hope that works out for you as well!!!

[@vwdwchallenge]

I found this post really cool love your intro and narration was superb, looking at the yeti microphone as well 👍❤

[@RenLuuk]

Thanks so much! It’s not Disney - but I always loved the Spider-Man ride at Universal 😂. I definitely recommend the Yeti. I tried the pricey Rode mic - but really no difference and not worth spending twice the money. It was really no different from my Rode shotgun I use on my camera. The Yeti also has multiple settings for interviews - would be great for you and your cohost to share. Thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍷

Hey! I've just come over from Brad and Amy's channel, so subbed and thought I'd say hello. This is so important! I've even had back pain! 😭

[@RenLuuk]

Hey!!! Any friend of Brad and Amy is definitely a friend of mine! Yes, back issues are very real for me as well. I am working on a followup video - just taking longer than I thought it was going to ... you know how that is. Lovely to meet you x

[@hoxandjones]

@@RenLuuk I'll look forward to that, and will keep an eye out for it. Aren't Brad and Amy just lovely! 💕☺️ So great to connect with you x

[@RenLuuk]

They are amazing 😻

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Great video Karen some wonderful helpful tips as lots of folk are now working from home and having to use either the kitchen or dining table , they say to try and get up and walk around after a period of time helps as well. Hope you are well and having a great weekend Cheers 🍷🎃👻🍺💀

[@RenLuuk]

Thanks so much! Of course I also use these things when I spend hour editing videos 😂 It is true about exercise. I am going to address that more in my “bedroom” video coming up ... oooooo..... 🥰🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍷🍷🍷

[@ChristopherAlbone]

Great tips and a great video. I loved the additions. Was very funny too. I bought a new chair with lumber supports as working from home has killed my back. But am learning how to manage it and be healthier. I need to look at the elliptical definitely. I hope you’re safe and well. X

[@RenLuuk]

Hey Chris! Yes, doing well. Glad to hear about your new chair. I have just found these long hours at the computer have been a killer. How are you coping under the new lockdown? We have been in lockdown already for the last few weeks. So what’s a few more 😂

[@ChristopherAlbone]

Hi Karen. Glad you're doing well. I have seen Wales have been in lockdown for a couple of weeks. Even though a new lockdown is coming, it won't seem any different to a normal day for me and the fam (at least for me it won't)

Hello! I always support channels that support me! I wish you a good day

[@RenLuuk]

Thank you so much 🙏🥰👍

[@k-grannysophia3994]

Even though I don't try to fly... my back is getting weaker and weaker as I am aged. I try to walk more often at the nearby stream these days. and it helps anyway.

[@RenLuuk]

Absolutely!! I have my hour morning walk rain or shine. And I take a break for ten minutes every hour and go up and down my stairs. So so important!!! Great comment 🙏🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍷

I need to save my back just from sitting in front of the computer all day. Definitely not used to that!

[@RenLuuk]

We all do! Should have added the hours of video editing in that as well. That is also a killer for me!!

[@FunniestUnfunnyGuy]

Awesome channel and video my friend What does a cat say when he gets hurt? MEOUCH! just stopped by to show support. I connected my channel to your channel,rang the bell and dropped off a huge new Jersey USA kitty cat size like. Have a philnominal day smile and laugh often be safe my friend!

[@RenLuuk]

Thank you so much!! Love the humour! I will definitely check out your channel as well. Hope you are safe in New Jersey 🙏🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍷
