I am a 66 yr old overweight woman who was practically bedridden for a long time due to one health issue after another. I found this video, and though my legs feel like they aren't going to hold me and are as shaky as jello, I was able to do 10 min. Of this video on the first try, but felt a failure. Three days later and I just finished my second try and finished the full 16 min. Video. I know it sounds riculous to anyone in good shape, but, I am so happy I finished. I had originally hoped to get my strength back in a nearby pool. Drove there, walked in the pool for a long time because it felt so good to be moving, but then disaster. I could not climb the stairs to get out of the pool without help. Incredibly embarrassing! I am Hoping with everything in me, This video will help me strengthen my legs so I can walk more than the short distance to my mail box and back.
Wow Jane! I'm sooooo very proud of you! You are making great progress in just a few days! You WILL get stronger... its physics not magic! This practice is short enough to see the finish line. Keep up the great work! And remember to march around the house a few times every day. All those little things add up to stronger legs! Stronger you! Keep me posted! I'm here cheering you on! Love, Sherry ❤️
Dear Jane, you are an inspiration! Thank you so much for sharing your journey, it gives everyone else the courage to try. Wishing you all the best in your journey of strengthening your amazing body and taking your health into your own hands. Much love to you from Hawaii! Aloha, Justine
Jane F. Im so happy for you. You inspire me. Im 55 and have leg pain with lots of spasms and adductor issues. I need to strengthen my legs and am in need of help. Thank you for the inspiration💖 Kathy.
K S both of you inspire me!!! Just a little each day will be moving you in the direction of positive change. You can do it! I'm with you! Blessings to you both! Love, Sherry
Thanks for keeping it real. Instructors in workout videos never, ever mention the fact that they have actual pain themselves. This was refreshing. surgery
Hi Annie! Instructors are real people with real issues. I think we all learn from each other when we DO keep it real! Hope it works for you! Blessings, Sherry
I just found you and I really think it is a blessing. I am 73 almost 74 and I took a very bad fall two days ago and I am very very sore and stiff. I think this may be just what I need. I want to do this with you tomorrow.
Gloria Dell Hi Gloria! I'm so sorry to hear about your fall. Give your soft tissue time to heal before doing anything too strenuous. Then start with the easier moves first and build up. Remember... I did this every day for a year....it takes time to build your internal bone and muscle strength again. You will feel stronger and stronger.... and you will start to notice the difference. Good luck. I'd love to hear back from you in 6 months! Love, Sherry ❤️
I'm an overweight 69 year old lady and have L5 - S1 disc issues but not bad enough to do surgery. The nerve is being touched not compressed. Also a lot of hip pain, but what I find is that my legs are not strong. I'm going to start with these today and work up to some good leg strength. I like this style of video. Very relaxing and gets the job done regardless. Love the informality of it.
Yeshua835 I’m also 69 had double level spinal fusion six years ago , spondylolisthesis, makes you unable to twist or lift your shoulders when lying down. Have to keep legs strong to be able to walk etc but with tracking issues in knee this can be problematic too. Ho hum. Keep your sense of humour helps! All the best from nz
Hi! I am checking in to see how you are doing? Have you been doing the Strong Legs video a few times a week. I hope so! You WILL get stronger, keep up the work!!! Blessings to you! Sherry
So glad I just found this video. Love that it's simple, no props or equipment needed, no irritating bouncy music, just your soothing and encouraging voice!
I’m glad I found your Chanel. I like your instruction right away after first watching your movement I’m 72 years old a stroke survivor. My legs are not strong and I have lower back pain constantly. I’ll follow your lesson every day and Hope my legs get stronger in few weeks without back pain. Thanks you so much Sherry. Dianne Ha from California.
Hi Dianne! So happy to hear that you working on getting stronger. When your legs are stronger, your back will not have to work so hard. Make sure not to overdo! You are doing great! Love, Sherry
Great exercises for legs! A year ago I had knee replacement surgery and still feel its kinks. A "bionic" knee also needs plenty of exercise in order to keep any pain or discomfort away. I love the fact that in this video you DO NOT have any annoying music. Your dialogue is perfect and the setting very calm to watch. Thank you!
Hi Connie! (that is my beautiful sister's name!!!) Glad you liked the no music practice. Like I said.. Yoga can be done anywhere, no zen required. Yes, keep that bionic knee moving. Both my parents have knee replacements and they are in their 80's and doing great. They move all the time!! Good luck to you! Keep practicing! Love, Sherry
@@YogaVistaTV Hi, Sherry - I'm 71 and had no choice on the knee surgery since the knee was bone on bone, very painful. All the therapy exercises I was taught have been great to straighten/bend the knee, etc., but it does require daily movement more than plain walking. I have bookmarked your video page and will be faithfully practicing it daily. I've never done Yoga - perhaps I need to view some of your Yoga videos? Do you have one aimed for seniors? Thanks again for your courteous response.
Connie Gallant Hi Connie! You’re a youngster compared to my senior students!😍 pike around my UA-cam channel and you’ll see TONS of Yoga for seniors videos! So glad to hear we will be hanging out together every day!! Let’s do this!👍 love, Sherry
I’m 42 and I’m so happy to have found this. Your video really helps me focus and ensure each side of my body gets the same attention, strength building and overall alignment. My knees were just starting to say “hello, keep my joints healthy!’ So thank you!!
So cool to hear Pamela. If you notice a difference in days... can you imagine weeks, months and a year!?? You will be the strongest you have been in awhile if you keep it up! And it will feel great!! Blessings, Sherry
Hi Christine! I am one year behind you and I get it! I have had NO knee episodes for almost a year! YAY for strong knees for both of us! Blessings, Sherry
I also have tracking issues with knee I’m 69 now dislocated it when 18. Taped and strengthened my legs from exercises but I over did it and couldn’t weightbare for 24 hours a few days ago! Tens machines helped now I will do few gentle exercises to start again and walk! Good video thanks
I think each of us has to learn the balance of over-doing and resting. I struggle with that too. It's body wisdom we are learning. Keep it safe and reasonable for you. When we over do (thinking we are 30 again), we pay the price. It's a learning process for sure. Love and blessings! Sherry ❤️
Hi you are not only teaching safe exercises but your colerfull screen/backyard and your outfits maksourey happy and feeling positive energi God bless you and your fammily
Honestly these stretches are great!! I always find excuses for no to exercise, but with you its so easy to get engaged with your exercise type, I'm lucky that I found you!! Thank you so much!!
Graciela Flores Hi Graciela! So glad you found an exercise you want to do. And glad I can be of service! Keep up the work... it pays off! Blessings to you! Sherry
Thank you, Sherry, I lived in India for 20yrs and studied yoga there, with an open heart and mind there is always more to learn, as I have from you here! I am pleased to be a new subscriber to your channel!
Nice to meet you Steve! If we are not always learning... we are not living fully. I hope to be practicing Yoga with you and getting stronger together! Love, Sherry
Love from India..even I suffer from arthritis on my left knee.i ll surely follow ur muscle strengthening exercises.u have explained it v well, n it's quite easy to follow too...thanks a lot.keep posting more videos.stay blessed stay happy.
Hi Vidya in India! So glad you will be joining me and getting your legs stronger again! Just a little bit every day will make a big difference over time! I have arthritis in both knees, but I no longer have pain. My muscles are now stronger to support my knees! Love and blessings to you! Sherry
If your Pelvis is out of alignment tilted you can develop Knee pain, once I had my Pelvis re-aligned no more knee pain. Felt great, could walk better too.
Thanks Angela! I am enthusiastic because I know there are things we can do, that are within our power, to naturally heal our body, mind and spirit. So, I like to share those tips!!!! Many blessings to you on your recovery! Love, Sherry
You are most welcome! I hope it helps you get stronger!! The more often you do this practice, the stronger your legs will get!!! Many blessing to you! Sherry
I found your video a few weeks ago and then couldn’t find it until now. I love your natural style and honesty about the body. Also you don’t emphasize over-stretching which my PT has cautioned me about. It’s great to watch you work out in regular clothes as it seems to make yoga more accessible for me. You don’t need special stuff to do these exercises and I feel better with each attempt. Thanks
Melanie Smith Hi Melanie! Nice to hear you've come back to this practice. As we age, we need both strength and flexibility. This video focuses on holding positions (with a smile) so that our muscles will get stronger to support our joints. Over stretching can actually create more instability, so you're PT is right on. And yay! No yoga clothes needed! Hope to see you again. Give my new short video series a try... Strong Bones for Midlifers. Blessings to you! Sherry ❤️
Monique Zanetta You can do this Monique! Work up to it! Don't overdo to start off. Remember.... this is done every day for a year. Or actually the rest of your life if you want to keep your legs strong. No rushing. Treat it as a daily vitamin for your body. Short but powerful! Love and blessings to you! Sherry❤️
Thank you so much. I started Strengthening my legs after seeing my mother having so much trouble getting off the sofa. This was last January. By the summer, my legs were so strong. Thank goodness because by June, wev were having to help our mom get off the sofa, toilet and bed. We had to call hospice in and she passed away the end of August. I could not have helped.her like I did if I had not strengthened my own legs. Thank you so much.
HI Beverly! I am so very sorry for the loss of your mom. By sincere condolences and I know you miss her very much. And very glad to hear that you felt strong and sturdy to help your mom when she needed it you most. You are a great daughter! Love, Sherry
Your video just popped up. I have no cartilage in my knees which makes me a candidate for knee replacement. Although I work at a fitness center, I have no real support system. THANKS TO YOU, I DO NOW 👏👏👏😅!!! I just subscribed 👍✌💖👀
Denise C Yay Denise! I hear you! You can give your knee more support if you strengthen the muscles around them. That's the goal. Reduce the compression in the joint by strengthening those quads which helps to make some space in the joint itself. Keep practicing... every day. You won't regret it. Let me know how you're doing in 6 months. Good luck! Blessings, Sherry ❤️
I've had 3 knee surgeries and even injections. Tai Chi and Qigong have helped me a lot with my quadriceps strength. It is in addition to my yoga practice.
Denise Duquette great to hear those practices are working great for you, Denise! It's all about physics. Strong muscles support our joints better. Keep up the great work! Love, Sherry ❤️
This so gentle...the hardest thing for me is BALANCE because I'm all long arms and legs. But what's great (besides your content) is the wonderful community in your comments. Luv it!
Congratulations on doing the work! There is no doubt that your body can get stronger when you commit to doing the work! And that is what you are doing and you are reaping the benefits! Many blessings to you! Sherry
Joyce Lawrence You are most welcome Joyce! The key is holding in good alignment... then stretching out after the holds. Good luck! Thanks for sharing and caring! Blessings, Sherry ❤️
I have been doing chair yoga and feel good after I finish the session. A few year ago, I bought your chair yoga tapes and I love them. Today I was looking for quads exercises and found this is perfect as it work all of me (which is a bit overweight). In a couple of month I have to have surgery to replace my knees and I will be doing this session every day. I can see the session in the iPad, maybe my husband can join me. Namaste!
Hi Patti! So great to hear you found this Standing Yoga practice to help strengthen your knees before your knee replacement surgery. You will be in good shape for the surgery and post-op and rehab if you can get those knee muscles strong. Keep up your dedication! And let me know how you are doing after your surgery. My prayers for a successful operation and healing go out to you! Blessings, Sherry
Hi Sherri I love doing your exercises every single day and been doing it now for 8 weeks and feeling the strength in my body. I like you to please add more core exercises as well. Thank you sooo much!!
Hi Devanayagi! I'm so happy to hear you are seeing improvements! Is your balance better? Legs stronger? Core more solid? I know everyone always wants more core exercises, but balancing is the best way to strengthen your core and this yoga practice does a lot of balancing! You don't need sit-ups to work your core. Just balance on one leg for an extended period and you'll feel your core working hard to stabilize you!! Keep up the great work! Love, Sherry
Just wanted to tell you how happy I am to have stumbled upon your video. I have chondromalacia patella or "runner's knee," and have limited PT through insurance; this should address the issue!
Good exercise! Not too hard, but I feel it. I need this for strength and balance to help after breaking my leg last year. I will add it to my PT exercises.
Yay for you Susie! It is short, but packs in alot of strength for 15 minutes of work. Check out my Strong Bones for Midlifer Videos.... those would be good too! ua-cam.com/play/PLp11GJcwf09abqbj8ytUKsAPG5rewDI8a.html Keep it up! Love and Blessings, Sherry
Thanks so much for sharing this. I consider myself as healthy and young but years of seating in office really took its toll, I cannot keep balance with one leg standing! I surely will doo this often and hope one day I will have stronger legs!
Hi Charlene! You WILL get stronger legs because this is just anatomy and physics! The more healthy stress we place on our bones and muscles, the stronger they get. And of course, the opposite is true. More sitting reduces the muscle action and thus... we lose it! Keep in touch! I would love to hear how you are doing 3 months from now! I KNOW you will be stronger! Love and Blessings to you! Sherry
Lovely to see you, Sherry. Ive done little exercise in the last year with the Covid pressures. I was terrified my kids would be damaged by mandatory vaccines. One lost her sense of smell and taste, the other got over his bad arm and leg. I just worried all last year I realise now and it didn't help anything. Exercise would have been a wonderful option, and would have raised my spirits.
Today starts a new path for you! Don't look back, look forward and take really good care of yourself! Get some sunshine, some exercise ... and some JOY (try dancing!). You will never regret taking good care of YOU! Much love, Sherry
THANK YOU!!! My Mother shared this video with me. Sadly, I am somewhat young and haven't taken very good care of myself. Mostly, I eat well, but I don't get my body moving and it is so true when they say "a body in motion stays in motion/a body at rest stays at rest." I have lost a ton of range of motion in my shoulders and hips, etc. A few months back, I started to improve the way I take care of my body vessel with online videos. Some were too difficult and some were too easy. I found one that was somewhat of a good fit, but I needed more...and then my Mother shared this video!!!! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you and your delivery. I appreciate your demeanor. I appreciate your honesty. I appreciate your realness. I appreciate your "dialogue distractions!!" lol And more than anything, I appreciate your thoroughness with your explanations!!! This video gives me the extra push I need for now. The only question I have is about the cactus pose...is the weight supposed to be on the front leg or on the back leg??? I am so grateful for you and your video and will be watching more. THANK YOU for taking your time to make this video and share it with us. You definitely showed me that anyone can do yoga and we can do it anywhere and without feeling the need to get into "yoga clothes" with a "yoga mat." I get up in the morning and do my stretches and perform these with you in my pajamas, which makes me more apt to perform them. What a FABULOUS way to start the morning. You are truly a blessing!!! THANK YOU!!!! You have helped me to help myself. Many blessings right back to you!!!!
Hi Kelley-Jo! I am SOOOOO impressed with you! Look at your wonderful attitude! You are ready to take back control of your beautiful vessel and feel strong again. I am so glad you found this video. Make sure to check out the 4-part series I released a few weeks ago... 15-minute practices for each part of your body that almost anyone can do!!! ua-cam.com/video/gMlJU8CD22A/v-deo.html Pace yourself and don't go crazy! As for Cactus arms, to avoid jamming the knees, lean back more on our heels than toes. But, see which way feels best for you. Good luck and check in now and then. Like an accountability partner! I am there cheering you on! Blessings to you and your amazing MOM! Love, Sherry
@@YogaVistaTV Thank you for your response!! Blessings to you as well. I will be sure to check out your 4-part series. Thank you again for your knowledge and friendly face!!!
Hi Sherry, true my legs are getting stronger n my pain has reduced a lot. You are in my house every morning. I do many of your other videos. It's like I have a motivative companion with me.
Hi Johal! I am so happy to hear that your legs are feeling stronger. It is amazing how doing these videos continually really works! You are a great example of true dedication! What other videos do you do of mine? Just curious. Have a great day! Love, Sherry
@@YogaVistaTV Hi Sherry, I do Free Bird, eagle flow, losing your balance to find it, sunflower n moonflower flows and baddha konasana. I mix n match n do about 45 to 50 mins nearly every day. N of course outdoor walking. We in Melbourne Australia are still in lockdown. So doing all these keeps me sane too. 🥰 Sherry you are helping so many people like me. God bless you. Love you ❤️
@@johalkuldip5494 Wow Johal! You created your own personal Yoga program! Awesome! I am glad I can be of help to a fellow human being during these crazy times! Keep the faith! Stay Strong! Many blessings to you! Sherry
Glad you enjoyed the leg strengthening practice with me. Try the second one in this Series: ua-cam.com/video/SGQhaMyxqeU/v-deo.html Blessings to you! Sherry
This is so easy to follow and I love your demeanor. As a new subscriber, I look forward to watching more and working my body along with yours. Thank you!
HI Barbara! Glad you found our channel! I hope you check out my Chair Yoga Dances! They are such a FUN way to get some movement and JOY into our bodies! Sending you love and blessings! Sherry
Hi Marilyn! I am SO happy my videos are coming in handy during this crazy time! Glad to see you are keeping moving and I know you feel better when you do! Many blessings to you! Sherry
I had a tibial plateau fracture in Jan, surg, doing fair. Need to build strength In my leg.. so started june 28... I'll see what next year brings. Hopefully. Normal gait
Jane Brockhausen You can do it Jane! Take it slow and easy! A normal gait will come with conscientious. Keep me posted! Blessings on your healing! Love, Sherry ❤️
Thanks Celestia! Remember to do some of these EVERY day. That is when you will really see the improvement! Keep it fun... keep it doable! Sending blessings from my garden in San Diego to you! Love, Sherry
I also have had tracking problems with my left knee. Have been doing a lot of these exercises from saygo exercise for the elderly balance classes but I over stretched my knee this week and couldn’t weight bare!!! Tens machine works great now am walking again so will do my exercises again gradually!
This is fabulous. I had a foot fracture and took the REST part of RICE very seriously for months and ended up in worse shape. I lost muscle mass and strength. I couldn’t figure out once the bone healed why I couldn’t do stairs or walk normally. DUH. I now know why you need to keep moving even modified exercises when you’ve experienced an injury or following surgery. These exercises would definitely have helped at that time and I will start doing these now to keep strength and flexibility. Thank you! You have wonderful positive energy and clear directions.
JenuineAirbrushTan Look at the wisdom you gained from this experience! You will get back your muscle strength again because the body is always in a state of healing and getting better if we give it the right ingredients. Daily strengthening will get you there. Good luck! Healing energy flowing your way! Blessings, Sherry❤️
A Better Life Tapping Great to hear you're sharing the power of this practice! Check back in 2-3 months and let me know if you see and feel a difference! Enjoy! Blessings to you , your mom and sis! Sherry❤️
HolyMoly - this is absolutely wonderful - thank you so much for sharing and thank you for posting gratis on UA-cam where I can share with my students - Happy thoughts & chuckles, Nancy
Thanks Kerry! Just keeping it real. We all have challenges and when we work on them together... we make great progress. Keep up the practice, because it truly works! Blessings to you! Sherry
Hi Sherry. Just found your channel. My chiropractor suggested pilates and yoga to help me strengthen my lower back and overall toning. I am familiar with Hatha Yoga for beginners and really like it! I have always been active with horses, mountain biking and walking. I had a lot of life changing events in my sixties. Slowed down by being distracted by life in general. Gained weight and lost tone and flexibility. So now it is time to take responsibility back and focus on getting back into shape! I will follow your channel, as you are gentle for beginners.
diane hall Hi Diane! So great to hear you are on the comeback wagon! You can do it cuz you know how it feels when you feel strong in your body. I'll be here with you! Make sure to check out my new series "Strong Bones for Midlifers". It's a great complement to this video and gets The whole body involved. Good luck! I know you'll bounce back! Love and blessings to you! Sherry❤️
About Creativity so awesome to hear!! Are you noticing any difference in your arms and legs et? You will! Keep up the great work!! Love and blessings, Sherry ❤️
@@YogaVistaTV I notice that some mornings I have difficulty with the balancing part of the poses. Any suggestions ideas, recommendations.? I am interested in anything you have to say about health and well-being.
About Creativity Thanks for checking in. Our balance shifts day by day... travel, sleep, stress.. can all affect our equilibrium. I suggest having a chair nearby to hold onto for the balancing part because you still get all the leg strengthening in your standing leg. Don't worry about wobbling... it helps build strong ankles. Keep up the great work! Blessings to you today! Sherry ❤️
@@YogaVistaTV Thanks. Balance does seem to come and go. I have been doing standing-on-one-leg practice for about six months or so and it has given me a foundation for these balancing sequences. Thank you for your support. Marian
First thing in the morning is the best time for any kind of exercise. I live on Crete in Greece, and it gets pretty warm during the day. When I first get up I am more grounded and balanced. Marian
This was excellent!! I have a group of seniors that are pretty strong, and I sometimes feel the all the seated work doesn't hit areas that they need. This helped my creative juices flow! Thanks Sherry! And on a completely different note, I am loving your jeans!! The slim look is so flattering, and I love that they're skinny without being like yoga tight skinny, LOL!! May I ask what brand they are? All the best to you, and thank you for sharing your work! You have helped many, including myself! Much love!
Mama2LoLa So glad this practice was useful. I agree... more standing is needed to create bone and muscle strength. I'll be doing more of these! And funny you asked about my jeans... I just bought them last week! High waisted! (Amen! Hallelujah! For us women over 50! Much more comfortable!) The brand is "Lucky Brand"... check it out. Blessings to you! Sherry❤️
good morning friend-:)- because of you - home base in class is marching- organic is the best:)))-and I love the gluteus/back differential- good balance work, instruction and attitude;)))
Thanks Rema! I like to make my Yoga workouts short, impactful and fun so you want to come back and do them over and over again! Have a lovely day! Blessings, Sherry
Hi Sherry I enjoy your Yoga workouts and all the valuable information that you share. I was never into yoga but I am truly enjoying it!! Thank you so much from sunny South Africa
Beverley Buys hi Beverley! Greetings from sunny San Diego! Great to hear we are doing yoga together across the world! How cool is that! Hope you are feeling stronger these days! Love and blessings to you! Sherry ❤️🌻
Thank you so much for this fantastic video! You have inspired me , I will definitely be doing this every morning! You make it a pleasure so we don't notice the pain!! Ha ha!
Bonnie Cotman Hi Bonnie! You got it! One practice.. double the benefit! 15 minutes a day for a year! You'll surely feel and see the difference! Love, Sherry❤️
@@wendybrda.4136 Hi Wendy! I don't lift weights as I feel they are harsh on the joints. I do isometric (long holds) and isotonic (move with resistance) movements to tone my arms and keep them strong. So, you can skip the weights. Use your own body's resistance and hold your arms out, up, and sideways for longer periods of time. Good luck! Check back in with me in 3 months and I KNOW you will see and feel a difference! Love and Blessings to you! Sherry
Hi Pratima, I am Sherry's business partner. This video will help....but do go slow! The first part, rising up on the toes, is helpful even if you just lift the tiniest bit. Have a hand on the wall just in case balance is an issue. And if it hurts, skip it for now. The second part, stretching the foot, will help release the plantar fascia in the foot - often the spur is caused by tight plantar fascia pulling the bones together. Be sure to breathe into it....discomfort will happen, but sharp pain should be avoided - go slow. The longer the hold, the more effective the release for the fascia will be. Also, you might try brushing the feet with a body brush and then rub warm sesame oil on them. Good luck and please keep us posted!! ua-cam.com/video/g50b7R5bsR4/v-deo.html
Thank you so much. I’ve been suffering with knee issues since July. I was in physical therapy for 3 months. After one session with you, I feel much better. I will continue with you. Thanks again.
@@francescostello6575 HI Frances! Great to hear you are feeling something after just one practice! Just think what a year would do for healing your knee. Keep the faith! The body wants to heal... help it along! Blessings to you! Sherry
I am a 71-year-old woman who walks 3 hours a day 6 days a week. Our walks involve all types of terrain, flat ground and hills. I started your leg strengthening program 4 days ago and have committed to a year, every day. My question: 6 years ago I broke my ankle and now have a plate that comes up the side of my leg from my ankle. I am noticing that I am experiencing pain in the muscle that is around the plate and my calf muscle. As I gain strength in my legs would you expect that these muscles will also strengthen?
HI! So glad to hear from you! I commend your intention and your efforts. I have a few observations. First of all, I myself realize I am not a goat and I stopped hiking over bumpy and hilly terrain. I walk on even ground. Secondly, don't overdo it. If that muscle around your plate is causing you pain, then skip a few days of my video and try again. It is better to get stronger slower than rush it and create pain. Trust your own inner wisdom. Keep in touch, please. I will be thinking of you and praying for your healing. Love and Blessings to you! Sherry
Still practicing this sequence four years later and sharing it with my students. Thank you for sharing this amazing sequence with all of us.
You're very welcome! So glad to hear you are sharing the knowledge!! Blessings, Sherry
I am a 66 yr old overweight woman who was practically bedridden for a long time due to one health issue after another.
I found this video, and though my legs feel like they aren't going to hold me and are as shaky as jello, I was able to do 10 min. Of this video on the first try, but felt a failure.
Three days later and I just finished my second try and finished the full 16 min. Video. I know it sounds riculous to anyone in good shape, but, I am so happy I finished.
I had originally hoped to get my strength back in a nearby pool. Drove there, walked in the pool for a long time because it felt so good to be moving, but then disaster. I could not climb the stairs to get out of the pool without help.
Incredibly embarrassing!
I am Hoping with everything in me, This video will help me strengthen my legs so I can walk more than the short distance to my mail box and back.
Thank you Sherry for making this video that so many people nèed so badly, and for making it enjoyable.💟
Wow Jane! I'm sooooo very proud of you! You are making great progress in just a few days! You WILL get stronger... its physics not magic! This practice is short enough to see the finish line.

I’ll follow your lesson every day and Hope my legs get stronger in few weeks without back pain. Thanks you so much Sherry. Dianne Ha from California.
Hi Dianne! So happy to hear that you working on getting stronger. When your legs are stronger, your back will not have to work so hard. Make sure not to overdo! You are doing great! Love, Sherry
Great exercises for legs! A year ago I had knee replacement surgery and still feel its kinks. A "bionic" knee also needs plenty of exercise in order to keep any pain or discomfort away. I love the fact that in this video you DO NOT have any annoying music. Your dialogue is perfect and the setting very calm to watch. Thank you!
Hi Connie! (that is my beautiful sister's name!!!) Glad you liked the no music practice. Like I said.. Yoga can be done anywhere, no zen required. Yes, keep that bionic knee moving. Both my parents have knee replacements and they are in their 80's and doing great. They move all the time!! Good luck to you! Keep practicing! Love, Sherry
@@YogaVistaTV Hi, Sherry - I'm 71 and had no choice on the knee surgery since the knee was bone on bone, very painful. All the therapy exercises I was taught have been great to straighten/bend the knee, etc., but it does require daily movement more than plain walking. I have bookmarked your video page and will be faithfully practicing it daily. I've never done Yoga - perhaps I need to view some of your Yoga videos? Do you have one aimed for seniors? Thanks again for your courteous response.
Connie Gallant Hi Connie! You’re a youngster compared to my senior students!😍 pike around my UA-cam channel and you’ll see TONS of Yoga for seniors videos! So glad to hear we will be hanging out together every day!! Let’s do this!👍 love, Sherry
I’m 42 and I’m so happy to have found this. Your video really helps me focus and ensure each side of my body gets the same attention, strength building and overall alignment. My knees were just starting to say “hello, keep my joints healthy!’ So thank you!!
Terrific difference in a matter of days after a day long of plane travel, heat and cold and tightness from sitting. Thank you!
So cool to hear Pamela. If you notice a difference in days... can you imagine weeks, months and a year!?? You will be the strongest you have been in awhile if you keep it up! And it will feel great!! Blessings, Sherry
I have the same knee patella issue. Thank you. Keeping it real at 64
Hi Christine! I am one year behind you and I get it! I have had NO knee episodes for almost a year! YAY for strong knees for both of us! Blessings, Sherry
I also have tracking issues with knee I’m 69 now dislocated it when 18. Taped and strengthened my legs from exercises but I over did it and couldn’t weightbare for 24 hours a few days ago! Tens machines helped now I will do few gentle exercises to start again and walk! Good video thanks
I think each of us has to learn the balance of over-doing and resting. I struggle with that too. It's body wisdom we are learning. Keep it safe and reasonable for you. When we over do (thinking we are 30 again), we pay the price. It's a learning process for sure. Love and blessings! Sherry ❤️
Hi you are not only teaching safe exercises but your colerfull screen/backyard and your outfits maksourey happy and feeling positive energi God bless you and your fammily
Thank you for your kind words. We all need to be happy more often!! 😁I'm glad you like my backyard! God bless you and your family too❣️ Love, Sherry
Honestly these stretches are great!! I always find excuses for no to exercise, but with you its so easy to get engaged with your exercise type, I'm lucky that I found you!! Thank you so much!!
Graciela Flores Hi Graciela! So glad you found an exercise you want to do. And glad I can be of service! Keep up the work... it pays off! Blessings to you! Sherry
Thank you, Sherry, I lived in India for 20yrs and studied yoga there, with an open heart and mind there is always more to learn, as I have from you here! I am pleased to be a new subscriber to your channel!
Nice to meet you Steve! If we are not always learning... we are not living fully. I hope to be practicing Yoga with you and getting stronger together! Love, Sherry

Love from India..even I suffer from arthritis on my left knee.i ll surely follow ur muscle strengthening exercises.u have explained it v well, n it's quite easy to follow too...thanks a lot.keep posting more videos.stay blessed stay happy.
Hi Vidya in India! So glad you will be joining me and getting your legs stronger again! Just a little bit every day will make a big difference over time! I have arthritis in both knees, but I no longer have pain. My muscles are now stronger to support my knees! Love and blessings to you! Sherry
If your Pelvis is out of alignment tilted you can develop Knee pain, once I had my Pelvis re-aligned no more knee pain. Felt great, could walk better too.
Crochet Fun Makes total sense! Body alignment is key to joint stability and comfort! Thanks for sharing!!❤️
I thought I was enthusiastic 😂beautiful Sherry takes enthusiasm to a WHOLE new level 🥳inspiring in so many levels
Thanks Angela! I am enthusiastic because I know there are things we can do, that are within our power, to naturally heal our body, mind and spirit. So, I like to share those tips!!!! Many blessings to you on your recovery! Love, Sherry
Thank you very much 🙏
Shanti Ruparell you're welcome Shanti! Love, sherry ❤️
Thank you! Sherry:)
You are most welcome! I hope it helps you get stronger!! The more often you do this practice, the stronger your legs will get!!! Many blessing to you! Sherry
I found your video a few weeks ago and then couldn’t find it until now. I love your natural style and honesty about the body. Also you don’t emphasize over-stretching which my PT has cautioned me about. It’s great to watch you work out in regular clothes as it seems to make yoga more accessible for me. You don’t need special stuff to do these exercises and I feel better with each attempt. Thanks
Melanie Smith Hi Melanie! Nice to hear you've come back to this practice. As we age, we need both strength and flexibility. This video focuses on holding positions (with a smile) so that our muscles will get stronger to support our joints. Over stretching can actually create more instability, so you're PT is right on. And yay! No yoga clothes needed! Hope to see you again. Give my new short video series a try... Strong Bones for Midlifers. Blessings to you! Sherry ❤️
Thank you from Toronto. I did it along with you partially. Now I will do the full everyday. 71 and motivated.
Monique Zanetta You can do this Monique! Work up to it! Don't overdo to start off. Remember.... this is done every day for a year. Or actually the rest of your life if you want to keep your legs strong. No rushing. Treat it as a daily vitamin for your body. Short but powerful! Love and blessings to you! Sherry❤️
Just found this site. Thanks for a gentle, encouraging exercise for strengthening. Just what I need.
Hurts just to stand bottom left side of knee.press on it feels like you hit the funny bone
Thank You Ms.Sherry.
Very Helpful For My Knee Discomfort
I'm sooo glad I found your channel.
Anna Torres Hi Anna! So glad you found us too! Nice to have you join us! Have a beautiful day! Love and blessings, Sherry ❤️
Thank you so much. I started Strengthening my legs after seeing my mother having so much trouble getting off the sofa. This was last January. By the summer, my legs were so strong. Thank goodness because by June, wev were having to help our mom get off the sofa, toilet and bed. We had to call hospice in and she passed away the end of August. I could not have helped.her like I did if I had not strengthened my own legs. Thank you so much.
HI Beverly! I am so very sorry for the loss of your mom. By sincere condolences and I know you miss her very much. And very glad to hear that you felt strong and sturdy to help your mom when she needed it you most. You are a great daughter! Love, Sherry
@@YogaVistaTV , thank you!!
I love this. I just found your site. Thank you.
Your video just popped up. I have no cartilage in my knees which makes me a candidate for knee replacement. Although I work at a fitness center, I have no real support system. THANKS TO YOU, I DO NOW 👏👏👏😅!!! I just subscribed 👍✌💖👀
Denise C Yay Denise! I hear you! You can give your knee more support if you strengthen the muscles around them. That's the goal. Reduce the compression in the joint by strengthening those quads which helps to make some space in the joint itself. Keep practicing... every day. You won't regret it. Let me know how you're doing in 6 months. Good luck! Blessings, Sherry ❤️
I've had 3 knee surgeries and even injections. Tai Chi and Qigong have helped me a lot with my quadriceps strength. It is in addition to my yoga practice.
Denise Duquette great to hear those practices are working great for you, Denise! It's all about physics. Strong muscles support our joints better. Keep up the great work! Love, Sherry ❤️
Hello
This so gentle...the hardest thing for me is BALANCE because I'm all long arms and legs. But what's great (besides your content) is the wonderful community in your comments. Luv it!
We are all in this together!!! And Balance is challenging for everyone! That is why we keep practicing it! Love and Blessings to you! Sherry
I practice this every day. My body is getting stronger. Thank for sharing awesome exercise. Namaste. 🙏🙏🙏
Congratulations on doing the work! There is no doubt that your body can get stronger when you commit to doing the work! And that is what you are doing and you are reaping the benefits! Many blessings to you! Sherry
Great sequence. I will start this myself and share with my students this week. Thanks for posing these amazing videos.
Joyce Lawrence You are most welcome Joyce! The key is holding in good alignment... then stretching out after the holds. Good luck! Thanks for sharing and caring! Blessings, Sherry ❤️

Hello nice to meet you
I have been doing chair yoga and feel good after I finish the session. A few year ago, I bought your chair yoga tapes and I love them. Today I was looking for quads exercises and found this is perfect as it work all of me (which is a bit overweight). In a couple of month I have to have surgery to replace my knees and I will be doing this session every day. I can see the session in the iPad, maybe my husband can join me. Namaste!
Hi Patti! So great to hear you found this Standing Yoga practice to help strengthen your knees before your knee replacement surgery. You will be in good shape for the surgery and post-op and rehab if you can get those knee muscles strong. Keep up your dedication! And let me know how you are doing after your surgery. My prayers for a successful operation and healing go out to you! Blessings, Sherry
I love the way of you did and explain is very important and very relaxing to thank you
Rakeebah Amaneer you are most welcome Rakeebah! Keep doing these and you WILL get stronger! Love, Sherry ❤️
Movement's great. Also keep up the turmeric in whose company arthritis can't exist.
I like it. Thanks 😊
Wow that feels so good try it again thank you so much again
I bet you feel stronger when you are done! Keep up the work... it will pay off! Blessings to you! Sherry
Hi Sherri I love doing your exercises every single day and been doing it now for 8 weeks and feeling the strength in my body. I like you to please add more core exercises as well. Thank you sooo much!!
Hi Devanayagi! I'm so happy to hear you are seeing improvements! Is your balance better? Legs stronger? Core more solid? I know everyone always wants more core exercises, but balancing is the best way to strengthen your core and this yoga practice does a lot of balancing! You don't need sit-ups to work your core. Just balance on one leg for an extended period and you'll feel your core working hard to stabilize you!! Keep up the great work! Love, Sherry
Just wanted to tell you how happy I am to have stumbled upon your video. I have chondromalacia patella or "runner's knee," and have limited PT through insurance; this should address the issue!
Ohhh, just what I needed now that winters almost here. Yayyyy thank you.
Anna Torres do this practice with me when you need a summertime fix!! 🌺🌸 Sherry
Good exercise! Not too hard, but I feel it. I need this for strength and balance to help after breaking my leg last year. I will add it to my PT exercises.
Yay for you Susie! It is short, but packs in alot of strength for 15 minutes of work. Check out my Strong Bones for Midlifer Videos.... those would be good too! ua-cam.com/play/PLp11GJcwf09abqbj8ytUKsAPG5rewDI8a.html Keep it up! Love and Blessings, Sherry
Thank you!
Thanks so much for sharing this. I consider myself as healthy and young but years of seating in office really took its toll,
I cannot keep balance with one leg standing! I surely will doo this often and hope one day I will have stronger legs!
Hi Charlene! You WILL get stronger legs because this is just anatomy and physics! The more healthy stress we place on our bones and muscles, the stronger they get. And of course, the opposite is true. More sitting reduces the muscle action and thus... we lose it! Keep in touch! I would love to hear how you are doing 3 months from now! I KNOW you will be stronger! Love and Blessings to you! Sherry
Lovely to see you, Sherry. Ive done little exercise in the last year with the Covid pressures. I was terrified my kids would be damaged by mandatory vaccines. One lost her sense of smell and taste, the other got over his bad arm and leg. I just worried all last year I realise now and it didn't help anything. Exercise would have been a wonderful option, and would have raised my spirits.
Today starts a new path for you! Don't look back, look forward and take really good care of yourself! Get some sunshine, some exercise ... and some JOY (try dancing!). You will never regret taking good care of YOU! Much love, Sherry
Thank Cherry
You are most welcome Felipa! Keep practicing and you WILL get stronger!!!! Many blessings to you! Sherry

@@YogaVistaTV thanks Sherry.❤
THANK YOU!!! My Mother shared this video with me. Sadly, I am somewhat young and haven't taken very good care of myself. Mostly, I eat well, but I don't get my body moving and it is so true when they say "a body in motion stays in motion/a body at rest stays at rest." I have lost a ton of range of motion in my shoulders and hips, etc. A few months back, I started to improve the way I take care of my body vessel with online videos. Some were too difficult and some were too easy. I found one that was somewhat of a good fit, but I needed more...and then my Mother shared this video!!!! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you and your delivery. I appreciate your demeanor. I appreciate your honesty. I appreciate your realness. I appreciate your "dialogue distractions!!" lol And more than anything, I appreciate your thoroughness with your explanations!!! This video gives me the extra push I need for now. The only question I have is about the cactus pose...is the weight supposed to be on the front leg or on the back leg??? I am so grateful for you and your video and will be watching more. THANK YOU for taking your time to make this video and share it with us. You definitely showed me that anyone can do yoga and we can do it anywhere and without feeling the need to get into "yoga clothes" with a "yoga mat." I get up in the morning and do my stretches and perform these with you in my pajamas, which makes me more apt to perform them. What a FABULOUS way to start the morning. You are truly a blessing!!! THANK YOU!!!! You have helped me to help myself. Many blessings right back to you!!!!
Hi Kelley-Jo! I am SOOOOO impressed with you! Look at your wonderful attitude! You are ready to take back control of your beautiful vessel and feel strong again. I am so glad you found this video. Make sure to check out the 4-part series I released a few weeks ago... 15-minute practices for each part of your body that almost anyone can do!!! ua-cam.com/video/gMlJU8CD22A/v-deo.html Pace yourself and don't go crazy! As for Cactus arms, to avoid jamming the knees, lean back more on our heels than toes. But, see which way feels best for you. Good luck and check in now and then. Like an accountability partner! I am there cheering you on! Blessings to you and your amazing MOM! Love, Sherry

Hi Johal! I am so happy to hear that your legs are feeling stronger. It is amazing how doing these videos continually really works! You are a great example of true dedication! What other videos do you do of mine? Just curious. Have a great day! Love, Sherry
@@YogaVistaTV Hi Sherry, I do Free Bird, eagle flow, losing your balance to find it, sunflower n moonflower flows and baddha konasana. I mix n match n do about 45 to 50 mins nearly every day.

I also have had tracking problems with my left knee. Have been doing a lot of these exercises from saygo exercise for the elderly balance classes but I over stretched my knee this week and couldn’t weight bare!!! Tens machine works great now am walking again so will do my exercises again gradually!
joshua2222ful I love hearing your wise words!!
Thk u so much
This is fabulous. I had a foot fracture and took the REST part of RICE very seriously for months and ended up in worse shape. I lost muscle mass and strength. I couldn’t figure out once the bone healed why I couldn’t do stairs or walk normally. DUH. I now know why you need to keep moving even modified exercises when you’ve experienced an injury or following surgery. These exercises would definitely have helped at that time and I will start doing these now to keep strength and flexibility. Thank you! You have wonderful positive energy and clear directions.
JenuineAirbrushTan Look at the wisdom you gained from this experience! You will get back your muscle strength again because the body is always in a state of healing and getting better if we give it the right ingredients. Daily strengthening will get you there.

Hi Sherry. Just found your channel. My chiropractor suggested pilates and yoga to help me strengthen my lower back and overall toning. I am familiar with Hatha Yoga for beginners and really like it! I have always been active with horses, mountain biking and walking. I had a lot of life changing events in my sixties. Slowed down by being distracted by life in general. Gained weight and lost tone and flexibility. So now it is time to take responsibility back and focus on getting back into shape! I will follow your channel, as you are gentle for beginners.

About Creativity so awesome to hear!! Are you noticing any difference in your arms and legs et? You will! Keep up the great work!! Love and blessings, Sherry ❤️
@@YogaVistaTV I notice that some mornings I have difficulty with the balancing part of the poses. Any suggestions ideas, recommendations.? I am interested in anything you have to say about health and well-being.
About Creativity Thanks for checking in. Our balance shifts day by day... travel, sleep, stress.. can all affect our equilibrium. I suggest having a chair nearby to hold onto for the balancing part because you still get all the leg strengthening in your standing leg. Don't worry about wobbling... it helps build strong ankles. Keep up the great work! Blessings to you today! Sherry ❤️
@@YogaVistaTV Thanks. Balance does seem to come and go. I have been doing standing-on-one-leg practice for about six months or so and it has given me a foundation for these balancing sequences. Thank you for your support. Marian
First thing in the morning is the best time for any kind of exercise. I live on Crete in Greece, and it gets pretty warm during the day. When I first get up I am more grounded and balanced. Marian
my favorite for ;legs of course!
This was excellent!! I have a group of seniors that are pretty strong, and I sometimes feel the all the seated work doesn't hit areas that they need. This helped my creative juices flow! Thanks Sherry! And on a completely different note, I am loving your jeans!! The slim look is so flattering, and I love that they're skinny without being like yoga tight skinny, LOL!! May I ask what brand they are? All the best to you, and thank you for sharing your work! You have helped many, including myself! Much love!
Mama2LoLa So glad this practice was useful. I agree... more standing is needed to create bone and muscle strength. I'll be doing more of these! And funny you asked about my jeans... I just bought them last week! High waisted! (Amen! Hallelujah! For us women over 50! Much more comfortable!) The brand is "Lucky Brand"... check it out. Blessings to you! Sherry❤️

YogaJP Yes maam... Will do!
@@YogaVistaTVYes, beautiful arms, Sherry! Is that all from yoga or do you also lift weights? I would like defined arm muscles like that!
@@wendybrda.4136 Hi Wendy! I don't lift weights as I feel they are harsh on the joints. I do isometric (long holds) and isotonic (move with resistance) movements to tone my arms and keep them strong. So, you can skip the weights. Use your own body's resistance and hold your arms out, up, and sideways for longer periods of time. Good luck! Check back in with me in 3 months and I KNOW you will see and feel a difference! Love and Blessings to you! Sherry
Some exercise for heel pain due to calcaneal spur
Hi Pratima, I am Sherry's business partner. This video will help....but do go slow! The first part, rising up on the toes, is helpful even if you just lift the tiniest bit. Have a hand on the wall just in case balance is an issue. And if it hurts, skip it for now. The second part, stretching the foot, will help release the plantar fascia in the foot - often the spur is caused by tight plantar fascia pulling the bones together. Be sure to breathe into it....discomfort will happen, but sharp pain should be avoided - go slow. The longer the hold, the more effective the release for the fascia will be. Also, you might try brushing the feet with a body brush and then rub warm sesame oil on them. Good luck and please keep us posted!! ua-cam.com/video/g50b7R5bsR4/v-deo.html

Hello Mary nice to meet you
I am a 71-year-old woman who walks 3 hours a day 6 days a week. Our walks involve all types of terrain, flat ground and hills. I started your leg strengthening program 4 days ago and have committed to a year, every day. My question: 6 years ago I broke my ankle and now have a plate that comes up the side of my leg from my ankle. I am noticing that I am experiencing pain in the muscle that is around the plate and my calf muscle. As I gain strength in my legs would you expect that these muscles will also strengthen?
HI! So glad to hear from you! I commend your intention and your efforts. I have a few observations. First of all, I myself realize I am not a goat and I stopped hiking over bumpy and hilly terrain. I walk on even ground. Secondly, don't overdo it. If that muscle around your plate is causing you pain, then skip a few days of my video and try again. It is better to get stronger slower than rush it and create pain. Trust your own inner wisdom. Keep in touch, please. I will be thinking of you and praying for your healing. Love and Blessings to you! Sherry
