At 65, arthritic, spoke w doc & starting exercises & just got 1 lb dumbbells. I don't drive & can only do online so showed her your channel I found a bit ago, she said you & Mom are fantastic, the best program she's seen online, & to follow everything you & Mom do👍🙌😊😁

Thank you! As a young 65yo it's terrific that you are working out with us! It's never too late to begin exercising! You want to be strong and healthy for the years ahead! Nice that you shared us with your medical team and appreciate their kind support! Start at a pace that is comfortable for you and build from there! You can do it! We are with you! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️

I agree it's the best I always come back to this channel.

I learned the diaphragmatic breathing technique years ago, but it was during vocal lessons, singing from the core! And thanks for clarifying when the inhale and exhale should occur during strength training. Super helpful. Take care!

[@yes2next]

Thank you! That's terrific! You are up to date with proper breathing techniques and now that you know how to breathe during workouts, you are really ready to go! Keep it going and keep moving (and breathing) with us! See you soon! ❤️

After 2 weeks of doing exercise with you I felt that something was not right with my breathing.. I searched and found this post. Thank you April now I can practice with more confidence. I enjoy your videos. I'm 63 years old.

[@staceydroogas928]

It was through you that I learned when to inhale and exhale while exercising. With some exercises I find I have to figure out which move is an exertion and which a release because the differences seem to be subtle. I'm still trying to figure that out with some but have gotten it down pat with a good many of them. Thank you for the demo. Will try to include this diaphragmatic breathing in my daily,independent side exercises. Thank you April...Anastasia

[@yes2next]

Thank you! Good to see you! Am sure you are using proper breathing techniques in all the various workouts you do! You are not a novice when it comes to working out! Good idea to try to include the diaphragmatic breathing in the next exercise and see if makes a difference in your workout! Keep up the good work and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️

Since last year I am learning to breathe well. I wasn't aware of how badly I was doing or how "disconnected" I was from my body. Thanks for the video! Every day I do one of your routines and it does me a lot of good. And most importantly, my left arm, almost recovered from my supraspinatus partial tear, can do these exercises, which greatly encourages me to improve. Hugs from Spain and thanks for all!. ( I love these "rainbow arms"!jajajajaja).

[@yes2next]

Thank you and hello to you in Spain! Nice of you to join us from so far away! Happy you are working out with us daily! Your body loves ❤️your efforts and you will find yourself feeling stronger and your breathing will be better too! Keep it going and keep moving (rainbow arms included) with us! See you soon! ❤️

[@07tanitani]

Thank you. It's hard to pay attention to what is a habit already.... I'll try to have more intention with my breathing.

[@yes2next]

Thank you! So true! It's just helpful and good to know that breathing properly can make a difference for your body! So, being aware of it is a good start! Keep it going! See you soon! ❤️

Is it normal when you first do belly breathing that you don't feel your stomach go out much?

[@yes2next]

Yes, with practice you should see improvements in your belly moving out in and in. Another indicator is movement of your ribs -- they need to move to allow your lungs to expand. Try this: place your hands on your lower ribs. Take a deep breath and find out if your belly breath involves any rib movement at that level -- it can be a very small movement. If your hands don't move, that means your lungs are not expanding in that direction. You can do the same test on different parts of your rib cage to see where your lungs expand or don't. Keep breathing! ❤️

[@sweethometennessee6537]

@@yes2next Thank you! So when your belly doesn't expand out that much, is that an indicator or being out of shape? I have asthma so I'm very interested in these breathing techniques. My hands move when I put them on the lower ribs but I also took a deep breath (as much as I could)

[@yes2next]

Our pleasure! Please check with your doctor on the best breathing techniques with your asthma. We love your spirit and focus on improving your breathing. Wishing you good health and good breathing! ❤️
