5 Easy Shoulder Exercises for Seniors, Beginners

[@gingerstrahan7464]

You encourage so well, and I love the interaction between Mom and you. Almost 74 an working to recover from recent stroke (TIA). Showed your channel to my PT, and he is thrilled with your methods and exercises and pace. My plan is to work two of your videos in each day, in addition to my breathing and short walks. Again, thanks so much.

[@yes2next]

Thank you! Happy you enjoy the workouts! As a young 74yo it's terrific that you are exercising! That's the way to get back to a stronger YOU! Nice of you to share us with your PT too and that he approves of the workouts! Your plan to work two workouts each day is a good one. 👏Just start slow and go at a pace that is comfortable for you! No need to rush! Slo Mo is good and work up from there! You are doing great! Keep up the terrific work and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️

[@barbaramichaels9058]

I like the way you demonstrate the exercises with your mother doing them and easy going way you correct her form and her cute comments. I'm a 70 yr. Old retired PT and will suggest your videos to older people in our church.

[@yes2next]

Thank you! Happy you enjoy the workouts and nice that you will also share the workouts too! It's never too late to begin exercising! As a young 70yo retired PT, you know firsthand the importance of keeping your heart and muscles strong! Perfect! Mom says Hi and thanks for your kind words of support! She hopes to see you and your friends at our next workout! Keep it going and keep moving with us! 🧡

[@juliemickens1697]

Hi Ladies! I came back to this one today because my lower-body muscles were sore from a stair-climbing hike, but I craved some upper-body exercise. I often do your videos around 8:30 or 9 in the evening, because they help me get to sleep and sleep well a couple-few hours later. It's good exercise, plus your friendly personalities make me feel cheerful and wholesome as I wind down the day.

[@yes2next]

Thank you! Good to see you! After a stair climbing hike, it was a good idea to focus on a upper body workout and to give some TLC to your lower body muscles! 👏 Listening to your body is always a smart thing to do! Pleased that our workouts can bring a good restful sleep too! AHHH always good to sleep well! 💤💤Keep it going! You are doing your body good! Keep moving with us too! See you soon! ❤️

[@cindysaldivar1800]

Thank you ladies! I am so enjoying your videos....I tell my husband, " I'm going to walk to the hotdog stand", and he knows I am going to work out! I had frozen shoulder about 12 years ago and the physical therapist told me to continue exercises to keep it from returning, so this latest video is the perfect motivation for that. Many thanks!

[@yes2next]

Thank you! Happy you enjoy the workouts and "going to walk to the 🌭stand" is perfect! Exercising the shoulder muscles will help but do so gently at first and without weights until you feel the difference in strength. The key is to exercise them regularly but in an easy peasy style! You can do it! Keep "walking to the 🌭stand" and keep moving with us! Mom says Hi and is walking right with you! See you soon! ❤️

[@libellulebleue1680]

I had a frozen shoulder in August last year and slow but sure I'm getting better. My massage therapist helped me a lot she brought back my shoulder and she suggested to do some kind of exercises to keep it moving. So I'm so grateful to have found these yoga exercises. Thank you so much 🙏❤

[@justjoolzy4629]

First time commenter and exerciser. 64 with osteoarthritis issues. I have bursitis in both shoulders and find a lot of movements painful but I am determined to get moving again. Thank you both for giving me hope its not too late ❤

[@yes2next]

Thank you and welcome! As a young 64yo it's good that you want to get moving despite your limitations! It's never too late to do so! Exercising will keep your heart and muscles strong to support you. Start slow and go at a pace that is comfortable for you! No need to rush! 5min one time, 6 min the next is good! Stop and rest often. Your body will like moving again too and support your efforts! You can do it! See you soon! ❤️

[@elvisfan61]

[@angelakitchens159]

Once again April and Aiko, you have provided us with another video that is useful for strengthening the muscles which support the most flexible and complex joints in our body, the shoulders. I have just started attending chair yoga (this is a stretching class for the seniors aged 55++++) and I can tell you...I need to strengthen my entire body, along with the other people in this class. I can most definitely feel the burn and I know my body benefits from all the moves. Thanks again for being there with us each week. Tell Mom hello and pet Mochi for us as Buffy watches the movements on the computer screen.🐈🐱🌻🌺🥀🌹🏵

[@yes2next]

Thank you! Good to see you! Glad you found this workout helpful! Doing chair yoga is perfect for stretching out your muscles and hope you find this workout does the same for your shoulder muscles too! They deserve a little TLC for all the work they do! Mom and Mochi 😻say Hi to you and Buffy! They will give Buffy a 👋on the next workout! Keep up the good work and keep moving and stretching with us! See you soon! ❤️

[@staceydroogas928]

I always appreciate targeted routines. I knew all the moves but it was satisfying doing them in one package rather that scattershot within longer routines. I used 3 lb. weights since I didn't review this video first and didn't know what the moves were. I did use water bottles for the front raises (right rotator cuff is compromised). Since I've diligently worked on my shoulders and upper body, I didn't rush the reps but managed to complete between 12 and 13 reps within the time allotted. Next time...5 lb. weights since I've used them before for shoulder routines. I WILL be returning to this one often. Thank you, April, for coming up with this one. You never cease to amaze. Oh boy, Mom's comic relief is always SO welcome...Anastasia

[@yes2next]

Thank you! Good to see what you are doing in the realm of exercising! Sure enough, you are doing your usual good routines! You already know how to use different weights depending on the muscles you plan to target so as not to injure yourself. 👏 Surprisingly, using 5lb weights seems to be easy peasy for your shoulder muscles! As you say, you have done it before. That's awesome! 👏 Pleased to know the workouts can generate your interest since you are a pro at working out! Mom says Hi and to keep it going! She knows you know your stuff! Keep it going and keep moving with us too! See you soon! ❤️

We applaud you for making a goal to strengthen your shoulders and are honored to help you. It is best to share this question with your health care provider or physical therapist who can help identify what is going on and recommend remedies if needed.❤️

[@savethetpc1547]

I started my workout today with this one, which I I don't think I'd tried before, for upper body strength and added some old favorites for lower body strength and cardio for a total of about 40 minutes. I used 3-pound dumbbells in the first set and increased to 5-pound dumbbells for the second set. I get a big kick out of Aiko's facetious humor between about the 5:37 and 6:02 marks in the video (regarding keeping her arm straight)!🤣 (Feb. 4, 2024)

[@yes2next]

Thank you! Keep it going! Another good combo of workouts done! 40min of upper and lower body routines is terrific and using 5lb and 3lb weights adds more good stuff to the workouts! Keep looking for more combos to do! You are definitely getting stronger! Keep moving with us too! See you soon! ❤️

do you have exercises for obliques?

[@yes2next]

Hi there! Your obliques are the unsung heros of our core. Their many uses include: stabilizing your spine, ribcage, and pelvis - important for walking, bending, or rotating; and helping you breathe -- they help pull your chest downward as you exhale. Here is a standing abs workout that includes great exercises to work the obliques: the woodchop, standing twist, side punch, and side bend. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5fRhHefnbamo9Usi=tTF3kOGsGRetgI4f We invite you to check out our other core workouts in this playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLjv8dGZeugtU9kdA75dz_o8qkPLi8wDuo&si=RZMkdjLlXE5rvjyZ
