    Thank you so much for your videos! I’m currently a college student in Taiwan and have been suffering mental illness like heart palpitations, chest tightness and breathing difficulty etc. I cannot do intense workout and therefore found your videos out of blue on YouTube. I really have to show my sincere appreciation to you and your mom, your videos are really helpful for me ! Thank you so much!!! ❤

    Just personal interest: where did you learn all these types of exercises? I have been exercising, but these seem to ‘fill the gaps’ other exercises don’t reach. Love this one.

  3. Yona Cohen says:

    I do these several times throughout the day, depending on the kind of day I have had. Makes me feel so good and eases anxiety. I am truly grateful.❤ Have a wonderful weekend!

  5. I just love your workout videos as a senior with cancer. AARP sent me a recent email regarding fitness videos for seniors. I discovered three of your fitness videos on AARP website, and began working out every other day for the last two weeks. I searched online to find a yoga video, and clicked on a link which happened to be yours. I visited the website listed below your video, and it was amazing! Wow, what a treasure to behold. The full body workouts will enable me to be more flexible, walk with confidence, and feel better about myself. Thank you both very much for providing so many wonderful full-body fitness videos free for seniors to help us live a strong, joyful life. Very excited … a dream come true.

    Those stretches felt great!
    Love Mochi joining!
    I have a black cat named Okoge. Her nickname is Kogerina.

  19. I am so thrilled I found your channel, April. Your exercises and programs, with your lovely mother Aiko, have given my mom and me some great time together. Age 52 & 89. Perfect options for her best days and even her low energy days. Your options for different levels have been wonderful and suit our needs. Love the cat who admires you during filming. Thank you so much.

  20. I just found you! I wonder if you could do some exercise routines that do not involve shoulder movement as much as the 2 I have just seen. Both of my shoulders are in bad shape and I just can't reach my arms over my head. I substitute smaller movements, but I'd enjoy more attention to lower body. Thank you for what you are doing!

  21. Love it. Works for me!❤

  22. C Pineapple says:

  27. Kelly Culler says:

    This is my go to stretching video after I work out.

  28. Jane Hopkins says:

    Covid lockdowns and the associated fear of social contact have kept me from my usual outdoor activity and I find that I have lost a lot of physical confidence and core strength. I'm 81 and trying to regain muscle strength – my GP practice nurse tells me this is possible and its not too late, it'll just take time and patience. I'm finding your stretching and warmup routines very helpful. I really appreciate your gentle and quiet approach and love your cat!

  29. Mirada Lynn says:

    Very thorough and soft workout. Thank you both.

  30. Nancy Beiter says:

    Too much talk at the beginning but nice stretches

  31. I'm 68 and was in pretty good shape until I was diagnosed with cancer last year. It required surgery and I've been working hard to get back to a good physical fitness routine. This video has been part of that recovery. I appreciate your gentle approach and the inclusion of your mother. I'm not sure I could handle watching a gung-ho super jock every day for months on end, but I really enjoy joining you, your cat, and your mother.

  32. Yona Cohen says:

    Gentle and thorough, thank you! So happy to have a complete stretch! Have a wonderful day.

  33. Jane Maruca says:
