    You have such a wonderful, calm voice. I've seen many instructors who are so anxious to go through each and very instruction, that the whole sequence feels too stressy for me. While your voice, aura is calm and invigorating 😍

    I “discovered” you about three months ago and absolutely love your method of training. I’m 70 and have always been active but now have artificial knees and arthritis in my fingers and toes. Your over 60 workouts and standing workouts are perfect for me. They have tremendously helped my balance. THANK YOU!

  • @beverlynelson6431
    @beverlynelson6431 3 роки тому

    This routine is exactly what I need! My legs are strong and slim, BUT my feet and ankles are wobbly. I have balance problems (eye/foot coordination). However, I take your advice and do just what I can. For instance, I use a small chair when lifting one leg repetedly. I don't need to grasp the chair. It's not a matter of weight. I place one finger on the chair when I need it for balance. Sometimes I leave the finger on the chair, but often I lift the finger to see it I can sustain the balance pose just for a second or three! I know that with time, if I keep doing your routine, I will not need the chair or the finger for balance. Maybe others can try this method.
