Wow, that workout is clearly something that you were able to do over time! I’m very impressed but even more so because you were able to talk to us as you did them. Makes it all the tougher!
Well, thank you, my dear. I made up all my own exercises to accommodate my severe arthritis. So you will probably be able to do them better than I do in no time.
Well, you are very kind. I do not consider myself an exercise specialist. So, I will give you exercise videos sprinkled throughout this education that I made up on my own. You will not see them anywhere else.
This is great! I have a ball in my closet for a year and just didn't get what to do with it. Now I do! Plus I think doing hand weight sets on the ball will be way less boring. Thank you for all your help Dr. Taylor. I already can't wait for another consultation!
I loved it! I'm pretty familiar with the ball but I learned a new move. I sit on the ball, hold a medium- sized foam disc with my hands, put a tennis ball on top of it and... Mom, no feet!! Please, please, make a series on your yoga practice! I have chronic sciatica and had to quit hatha yoga, I'd love to find a way to go back to it. Thank you for your amazing videos! You're a great inspiration.
Also want to mention that after the consultation with you in January and begining the HRT journey I feel a completely new woman!!! Thank you so so much!
When I'm at the gym, the young guys always try to do what I'm doing. They think of themselves as invincible. But, most of the time, they struggle. Nevertheless, at least they try, and we have so much fun. I tease them by saying that if an old lady like me can do it, they should be able to do it, too. Trainers challenge my balance by throwing balls at me or distracting me. I don't budge!
You are amazing Dr. Taylor. You are amazingly strong and you make this look so easy. I am only at video 77 but this was in my feed and looked like so much fun. I forgot about the ball workouts. They are so much fun. I also forgot about sitting on them while watching TV or reading. So glad I watched this. I promise I am watching your videos in order. I just could not help myself. I also like your idea of working out to accomplish more than one thing, like strength and balance.
I sat on the ball doing those circular movements I pull all the muscles in my back because my small muscles were weak. It now makes me see how weak my balance is. I walk on a treadmill for an hour a day and half an hour on a bike. As you say my balance is shocking I don’t do any balance exercises. So now I am going to start slowly.
You see, this is going to make such a huge difference in your entire future. Start gently. In just five minutes, you will see improvement. And if you practice just five minutes a day, you will be shocked at how good you get.
A word of caution from a retired dancer - people with (most) knee injuries should avoid kneeling. The exercise at 12:34 puts a lot of pressure on the lower back. At 13:49 one should keep the elbows close to the head.
You are so impressive. The meno/middle age belly has caught up with me and I'm really trying with exercise seriously for the first time but not used the ball as yet, looks fun x
❤️ u are such an amazing superwoman , never fails to amaze me with your wisdom . I have a stability ball nd I do chest presses nd flies on it but never I imagined anything like this, will surly do all these , my knees pain when I do squats , I know u have arthritis , do u do squats in your workouts , pls give a proper tutorial on how to do squats with bad knees , I have s flexible low medial arches in my feet , I think that messes up with my squats nd lunges,,, anyways ,, great great exercises tutorials, don't stop barbie , we want more of such kinds❤️❤️❤️❤️
Pooja, Try a wall-sit rather than squats: Same position, but static, with your back against a wall. It's easier on you knees, and your back is supported.
You are very kind. Just remember: I have severe arthritis (with a prognosis that I would be an invalid in a wheelchair). So, if I can do this stuff, anybody can. Try it. It's fun.
You are so kind. Thank you. Dr. Menopause Taylor I have a quick question not related to exercise. I’ve been on the Femring for a few months now. I felt it wearing off at 4 to 6 week mark. Fortunately my gynecologist (and insurance) allowed me to replace it every 4 weeks. My question is, is that okay to replace it that soon compared to the 90 day recommends?!!!! I am confident you will say yes, but making sure I’m not “abusing” the estrogen lol I use this in conjunction with the Mirena IUD. I’ve tried every type of HRT and the Femring is my favorite.....
Years ago I use to do Pilates, so I use to have a ball just like this to use at home, oh gosh I wish I kept it now! WoW You Look Amazing #bodygoals I really need to buy another one xoxo You make it look so easy and it truly looks like fun!
I know everything about your severe arthritis since I have seen all your videos. So i am sure that this is excellent for my aging body! My question was about the toned muscles like yours haha❤
Great exercise (playing) on the ball and you look super duper! I just KNEW my ball was too small so I am stealing Ed’s! I love laying tummy down on the ball with legs straight and toes on the floor. Hands behind my head and lifting my torso up off the ball and then back down. I can’t wait to try some of the things you showed...the easy ones for now and then make up a few as I go. Woo Hoo, super fun! Thank you, dear Barbie! XO ~Maria
Can you also make a video where you explain how to let the air out of the exercise ball and show it on the ball and flatten it completely when sitting please?
Ahh, my dear Pinky. You are so kind. Everything has been open in my world since May 11. But one of the things I love about these gym toys is that you can use them at home, too.
I do not know where you live but I suppose you can buy a decent quality, relatively cheap ball online. Mine costs about 6 euro; I have used it at home for more than a year now.
Cool ball remain crazy Barbie it's good for you I enjoy standing on the light rail without using my hands. I have been playing on choo choo trains this way since I moved to this city in my late 20's.it's work to stay standing and not move to far from my spot/dog
Tatiana, These exercises are excellent for women with osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. I have severe arthritis (and my prognosis was that I would be an invalid in a wheelchair). That's why I developed these exercises ... so that I wouldn't hurt myself.
My balance is so bad I'd have problems. Vertigo is a bitch to deal with! Now an elliptical I can do..... Funky shoes! Love the color....I'm Canadian and likely never see shoes like that. It's nice to be caught up....no now I'm going back and watching them again and watch the ones that I want to.....
Very interesting workout! One question though, I used to workout hard with weights and push ups and all the hard things. Now because of arthritis I can't anymore. But I want my muscles toned like yours!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is this kind of workout going to improve my muscle tone? Love everything you do....and say!
Ioanna, Actually, I have a very severe form of arthritis. And that is precisely why I work out the way I do. I was diagnosed with a very severe form of arthritis in 2001, and my prognosis was that I would be an invalid in a wheelchair.
I never do more than 10 of anything. And I never do more than one set of anything. I know that trainers tell you differently. But, I make up all my own stuff. Thank you for your kind compliment.
Julie Miller Dr.Taylor has a great brain and an incredible body and she is not afraid to admit to having had some surgical enhancement. Do not feel bad about yourself if you cannot look like her :-)
Wow, that workout is clearly something that you were able to do over time! I’m very impressed but even more so because you were able to talk to us as you did them. Makes it all the tougher!
You videos' introduction piano music is SO relaxing and peaceful. I love it.
Well, thank you, my dear.
Wow, I’m impressed! You are amazing👏👏👏
I’m going to buy a ball and start exercising on it
Well, thank you, my dear. I made up all my own exercises to accommodate my severe arthritis. So you will probably be able to do them better than I do in no time.
Pure genius. You could do an entire series on exercise alone!
Well, you are very kind. I do not consider myself an exercise specialist. So, I will give you exercise videos sprinkled throughout this education that I made up on my own. You will not see them anywhere else.
This is great! I have a ball in my closet for a year and just didn't get what to do with it. Now I do! Plus I think doing hand weight sets on the ball will be way less boring. Thank you for all your help Dr. Taylor. I already can't wait for another consultation!
I just love knowing that these videos are helping you so much, Bette. And I'll be happy to consult with you again when the time comes.
You are amazing! As a 58 year young fitness instructor I’ve got some work to do on my balance. Thank you
I loved it! I'm pretty familiar with the ball but I learned a new move. I sit on the ball, hold a medium- sized foam disc with my hands, put a tennis ball on top of it and... Mom, no feet!! Please, please, make a series on your yoga practice! I have chronic sciatica and had to quit hatha yoga, I'd love to find a way to go back to it. Thank you for your amazing videos! You're a great inspiration.
Thank you for your input, Lucía. And there will be many more exercise videos sprinkled throughout the series.
I am so glad you showing us exercises
I will be showing you many in various videos sprinkled throughout this education. I try to attach them to topics.
You look great Dr. Taylor! Thanks for sharing❤
You are very kind. Thank you.
Wow! you brought back my childhood memories. Exercise+balance+fun. Great!
Exactly!
Dr. Taylor ! You look awesome! I exercise every day and I think I will try doing more exercises on the ball . Thank you for sharing yours with us
You are so kind. Thank you for the compliment. And I think you'll have a fun time on the ball.
Also want to mention that after the consultation with you in January and begining the HRT journey I feel a completely new woman!!! Thank you so so much!
This makes me so happy. That's what this education is all about: Making the rest of you life the best of your life.
My son is very fit and I asked him to come and try your exercises, he struggled at 21.
When I'm at the gym, the young guys always try to do what I'm doing. They think of themselves as invincible. But, most of the time, they struggle. Nevertheless, at least they try, and we have so much fun. I tease them by saying that if an old lady like me can do it, they should be able to do it, too.
Trainers challenge my balance by throwing balls at me or distracting me. I don't budge!
Thanks for sharing Dr. Taylor. I'll have to get my ball out of storage!
Good for you, my dear!

You are just brilliant and you look fantastic.
Wonderful, creative, inspiring. Thank you for investing so much in our education. You are one in a million, Dr. Barbie.
Thank you so much for your vast appreciation. I am just passionate about giving you this education. And the greatest reward is appreciation.
You are in great shape - great information I want to try for sure. I really need to work on my core
We all need to work on core. You are not alone.

Great exercises for the brain too!
Yep. And in the Alzheimer's unit, you'll see that I show you exercises that combine the ball AND the BOSU at the same time!
You are my hero and such a stud!! 💪🏼😅 I would love to do these exercises w you!! 🔵
Wonderful lesson, loved the demo! See you next week 🙋🏻♀️
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, my dear.
Thanks, you are such an inspiration 🤗
Well, you are very welcome, my dear. And thank you for the compliment.
You are so impressive. The meno/middle age belly has caught up with me and I'm really trying with exercise seriously for the first time but not used the ball as yet, looks fun x
It is fun.Try it. you will be shocked at how you get a great workout by just playing.

@@Cathyywithac You can replace it as often as your body demands. Always listen to your body over every thing and every body else.
I said this 6 months ago when I watched this because it looked fun....it looks fun. You are so strong. I want to sit on the ball more at night.
You'll love it. Just pretend you're 5 years old again.
Years ago I use to do Pilates, so I use to have a ball just like this to use at home, oh gosh I wish I kept it now! WoW You Look Amazing #bodygoals I really need to buy another one xoxo You make it look so easy and it truly looks like fun!
I know everything about your severe arthritis since I have seen all your videos. So i am sure that this is excellent for my aging body! My question was about the toned muscles like yours haha❤
You will definitely tone your muscles. That's because, when you balance, you have to tighten every muscle in your body.
Great exercise (playing) on the ball and you look super duper!

You crack me up! Stealing Ed's ball! He's going to blame me.
@@MenopauseTaylor ❤️🤣🤣
This is great! Thank you. 💕
Have fun trying them.
Wow, totally impressed. I now know why your so lean. Totally blown away and I will try. Thank you for this.
You are so welcome, my dear. And you'll really find this quite fun.
@@MenopauseTaylor It'll be a task just to stay on it. LOL
@@danaprahl1734 Ahh, but in about 5 minutes, you'll see improvement!
Awesome! Bravo Dr. Taylor!
Thank you, my dear.
Can you also make a video where you explain how to let the air out of the exercise ball and show it on the ball and flatten it completely when sitting please?
I don't understand this question. You pull out the plug to deflate the ball, Markus.
@Steven Vance That sounds boring, doesn't it?
You make it look easy but its really hard! Gyms are not open here yet. NOTHING is! You are super woman! Thanks for this education!
Ahh, my dear Pinky. You are so kind. Everything has been open in my world since May 11. But one of the things I love about these gym toys is that you can use them at home, too.

I think you are incredible I can only sit on the ball and lift up my arms
Well, that's a start. And if you keep doing that, it will lead to other things. You'll surprise yourself.
Wow ,maybe it can be fun.lm going to buy a ball😁
Great video!!💖
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Great exercises! I have to give this a try. I want toned arms like you have lol
Ha! Everyone comments on m arms ... which are actually abnormally long. My fingertips come almost to my knees, which means I'm anatomically incorrect.
Also; make sure your stability ball is properly inflated.😊
True!
@@MenopauseTaylor ❤
Impressive!!! You’ve given me many ideas to ramp up my core workout.
Excellent! And you'll have a lot of fun in so doing.
Wow, incredible! And it seems a lot of fun!
Are those exercises safe for women who have already osteoporosis like me?
They seem to be safe as long as your balance is good enough to prevent you from falling off the ball.
Tatiana,
These exercises are excellent for women with osteoporosis and osteoarthritis.
I have severe arthritis (and my prognosis was that I would be an invalid in a wheelchair). That's why I developed these exercises ... so that I wouldn't hurt myself.
I already has fallen when tried to follow Barbie. Be careful
@@ОльгаЗиемеле-в6ы Always start with the most basic things and always build in safety.
My balance is so bad I'd have problems. Vertigo is a bitch to deal with! Now an elliptical I can do.....
Funky shoes! Love the color....I'm Canadian and likely never see shoes like that.
It's nice to be caught up....no now I'm going back and watching them again and watch the ones that I want to.....
Vertigo does definitely make balance much more of a challenge. Always make sure you have a wall nearby to catch you if you lose your balance.
Very interesting workout! One question though, I used to workout hard with weights and push ups and all the hard things. Now because of arthritis I can't anymore. But I want my muscles toned like yours!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is this kind of workout going to improve my muscle tone? Love everything you do....and say!
Ioanna,
Actually, I have a very severe form of arthritis. And that is precisely why I work out the way I do. I was diagnosed with a very severe form of arthritis in 2001, and my prognosis was that I would be an invalid in a wheelchair.
The gloves look cool, but I found my grip strength suffered when I wore them for every exercise. Your results may vary!
I make sure mine are extremely loose. I have severe arthritis. If they are too tight, my fingers go numb.
You have an incredibly beautiful body. What do you recommend for reps? 3 sets of 12? Thank you again!
I never do more than 10 of anything. And I never do more than one set of anything. I know that trainers tell you differently. But, I make up all my own stuff.
Thank you for your kind compliment.
Julie Miller Dr.Taylor has a great brain and an incredible body and she is not afraid to admit to having had some surgical enhancement. Do not feel bad about yourself if you cannot look like her :-)
😀😀😀
I love those exercise balls. They are great for core work. For a laugh, search for "Dwight's Fitness Orb - The Office US" on UA-cam.
Me too! I love all the gym "toys."
I thought you lift heavy weights for your mascular body...
Never. I only use baby weights. I also never do impact or employ any speed. I have two speeds: slow and stop. I have severe arthritis.
My balance is very bad and I have a ball at home. Time to pull it out of the closet.
You'll have so much fun! I applaud you, my dear.
