Oh, my goodness Meredith....thank you for this stretch and more importantly, thank you for sharing Sedona, Az., with us, thank you, thank you, thank you. I do your other seated workouts; I so enjoy the challenge yet doability, don't think that's a word, but we'll make it one ;-) I work 10-12 hours a day standing and cleaning. I tweaked my back, bummer, but at least I have access to these wonderful workouts. Thank you, you're a very good teacher.
Thank you so much for the comment! I am so privileged to help, I am so happy you found our channel and my workouts are “doable”;) We will make “doability” a word...I like it:) Take care of your back!!! Take care and thank you, Meredith
Thank you Gillian! I am proud of you, and I hope your hubby can be motivated because it will help him and feel so good! I also commend you for your hard work as his caretaker! Take care, Meredith
Hi Meredith. What a great way to enjoy the outdoors with a good stretch. I love your clear and easy to follow instructions. Thank you so much for sharing. Looking forward to the next session. Mary, Vienna Austria
@@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith Hello again. I loved this so much so, as we're so many hours apart, I did it again today :) whilst waiting for your live broadcast later on. A question: is it better to stretch before or after a workout? (or does it really matter?) Thank you! Mary, Vienna, Austria
Hi Mary! Light stretches before, and deeper stretches after the body is warmed up is best:) If it is a day of only stretching, start light as the body warms up, then get deeper into them. I was so happy you joined today's Livestream!! Take care, Meredith
Senior Fitness With Meredith Thanks for the tips - I’m going to build these into my morning routine 💪🏼. And I love the Livestreams which start at 5pm in Vienna, Austria. ❤️
Hi Bathshua! I am so happy you found my channel and this stretch is a good fit right now. I have many more that will be good during your rehab, especially the seated with resistance bands. Help stretch and strengthen the hips! I am proud of you for getting back into it, slow and steady!! Take care and stay healthy, Meredith
Something came up tonight where I couldn’t do one of my workouts today but I just finished doing this before bed (here in NY) and feel totally relaxed. Thx for another great workout Meredith!
Sooooo relaxing stretch. Just did your salsa cardio video. This is perfect after that cardio. This will help me get a good quality sleep. Thanks! Meredith.
The seated relaxing stretches felt great after doing my normal dumbbell, playground ball and resistance band workouts. I am ready to take on the day. Thank you.
Way to go Linda! I am so proud of you for doing the workouts...and feeling so great after, isn’t that an amazing feeling!! Keep up the great work! Take care and stay well, Meredith
Thanks for another great video Meredith! This one will be added to my favorites. Before you mentioned that you were on a getaway, I was thinking that you should do more of your videos on your beautiful deck!
We knew you were out of the Valley today, out on that pretty patio. Enjoy your getaway in one of the most beautiful places on earth. The video was great, too!
Wonderful RedRock vista. Sedona is our favorite place for a day trip. Recently we drove up, enjoyed lunch at the Wildflower Bakery and Cafe and back to the valley.
What a gorgeous place to stretch in-- I didn't want to close my eyes because I love Sedona. Great comprehensive stretching routine, I did a cardio and a resistance band video this morning, so this was exactly what I needed. Thanks!
Can’t believe it’s been 6 months that I’ve been doing this routine pretty much every day. It’s the way I start the day and boy does it make a difference, it gives me an all over body stretch and my body is far less stiff once I’ve done it. It would be so easy to say my body hurts too much I can’t do it , if you can get over that mind set give it a go even if it’s hard to do at first it will do wonders to how your body feels and if your body feels better your mind has a I can do attitude instead of oh I can’t do that. I would definitely recommend this stretching routine. Thank you, thank you, thank you Meredith, you are changing peoples lives for better. Xx❤️
Oh Caroline, that just made my day! I appreciate your comment and support more than you realize! I’m so lucky to be here for you, and remember I’m always here when you need me! Thank you and take care, Meredith
I love the background scenery!! Very beautiful!! Love the the breathing and stretching techniques !! I feel more relaxed and in peace !! Thanks Meredith!! I definitely still need to learn how to hip henge properly . I have very tight hips and gluts!! Need to work on this. Thanks again!! 🙂
Finding new videos of you all the time Meredith! Just done 2 of your shorter workouts and finished with this lovely stretch routine! Thank you again, Christine 👍 Lovely views too!
This is a brilliant stretching routine. I have been doing this every morning for the last 2 weeks, it’s now how I start my day (even before breakfast). My body feels so much better, not just at the time of doing it but for the rest of the day. I would certainly recommend it to anyone who suffers with stiff joints or who like myself have polymyalgia rheumatica. I know we have need exercise in all forms to keep healthy but I really believe that stretching is so important to do to get the best from all other forms of exercise we do. This completely seated stretching routine is the best . A huge big thank you Meredith was for giving us this doable in time and content routine. X❤️
Thank you so much Caroline! I too believe that at the foundation of a great exercise plan is stretching and flexibility work. And I am so very happy that you enjoy this routine. Great stretches and scenery!:) I appreciate your recommendation and continued support so very much! Thank you!! Take care and keep up the great work, Meredith
Thank you for your advice Meredith, have just done this after doing some housework and it felt good. I will try doing this first thing every morning (or as many mornings as I can) and see if it helps. Once again thank you for your advice. X❤️
Wonderful Caroline!! I am so happy you tried it out, and enjoyed it:) I have more stretching workouts that might feel good, and can change it up: Longer workout: www.seniorfitnesswithmeredith.com/seated-yoga-and-stretching/ Shorter: www.seniorfitnesswithmeredith.com/simple-stretching-chair-exercises-for-seniors/ And another: www.seniorfitnesswithmeredith.com/seated-posture-and-balance-exercises-with-stretching/ Enjoy!! Take care and talk soon, Meredith
Hi Meredith, love the scenery, I hope you had a good holiday. I like stringing your short videos together and find them very efficient in the use of time. However, one day I didn't end with a proper stretch and learnt the hard way that it was not a good idea. I know I know, you are always reminding us about the importance of stretching, suffice to say I have learnt my lesson. Any chance of a standing version of your stretch video?
Hi Joanna! I really like how you string together the workouts to make your own All Over Strong workout:) That is wonderful! And, yes, I know you know the importance of stretching after...especially now! I will put a standing version of stretching onto the list...see what I can do about that:) Thank you again for the continued support! And suggestions! Take care and continue to stay healthy, Meredith
Hello Meredith. I have a question. I'm a 67 yr old male. I'm obese, but not really restricted by anything other than age and weight. I started last week with your "Senior Fitness-Low impact Cardio Workout". Then I found this "Stretches for Seniors and beginners". My question is, should I do this Stretches program BEFORE the Low Impact Cardio, or After? Or does it make a difference? Or is there another "warm up or cool down" routine I should be doing? I appreciate your advice.
Hi Trenton! Thank you so much for the comment! I am so proud of you for starting with the low impact cardio workout, and now stretches. My suggestion is to do the stretches after the cardio. The cardio starts slow so it will warm you up. Then cool down with the nice stretch!!:) Please remember we are here for you whenever needed!! Take care, Meredith
Hi Meredith Have been staying home and resting. Noted that you have added some 20 mInutes or less segments. I will need to get back for the coming weeks prior to my surgery. Will need to take it slow as I feel pressure in my chest. Warm weather not my friend these days. Phyllis
I appreciate your comment…I do talk enough to make sure the viewer does a movement correctly, as to not get injured and to make sure they are working the correct part of the body. All to benefit my amazing viewers who enjoy my talking and instruction. I hope you find an instructor that suits your tastes. Take care! Meredith
such a beautiful background creates a peaceful and relaxing tone to the ¨work¨ out... and I think, releases some stress.
I agree Alice! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
This routine can be interesting not only for seniors :)
Agreed!! For All!
Great stretch after yard work. Thank you. Love the view. Love Arizona. Charlie in Syracuse NY
Thank you so much Charlie in Syracuse!!
I got back to the stretches after the pandemic took me away. I'm in need of these more than before to stay limber throughout my day.
Yes, stretching daily is so good for you! Keep up the great work!
Oh, my goodness Meredith....thank you for this stretch and more importantly, thank you for sharing Sedona, Az., with us, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Enjoyed doing these stretches. Will try and get my husband motivated to do them. He is 81 and I’m his carer. Love your workout Meredith. Thank you x
