Hi Mike. Do you have any exercises to get rid of lower back ache? This may
be due to being confined to the home for about 40 days.
I’m delighted to find this video! Cindy is my favourite exercise guru, and I usually do the 30 minute stretch routine (the one that started out as a live stream! http://www.fitnesswithcindy.com/30-minute-fitness-blend/), but some days, it feels as though I’m rushing to fit everything in, so this 15 minutes is perfect thanks, Cindy!
Great stretches but cannot bring ankle up to knee. Is there an alternative exercise? Thanks.
Thank You Doug Schrift for taking the time and effort to put this all together for us. I think I will benefit from your style of stretching. Again Thank You.
So happy to be able to do these exercises as is my husband who should be going to rehab following an injection into his spine,,
Good exercise video but the constant talking! A few seconds of silence would’ve been nice!
Great I do it everyday now look forward to it..only the one pulling back give’s me cramps..��..
.have a great day Mike take care ��
Helps by itself but also when do your upper body strengthening with weights. Thx
Thank you, Cindy! As a creative I find that I sit most all the day…its wrecking havoc on my body. I have been searching for a simple but impactful stretch routine that I could use several times during my day to get the blood flowing and muscles reactivated again. Loved this vid and will def look for more for seniors (I’m 63).
Thank you! Your exercises really seem to help stiff bones and joints. Love this��
These are very good exercises I cannot do 2 minutes on the spot jogging Apart from that i did the whole vidieo I am 76 with five health problems l would trymto do all videios slowly Thanks
Thank you for your guidance. It is very helpful and I will continue.
Many thanks from a veteran Indonesian Hash House Harrier who has developed some knee problems!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is just what I needed this morning. Most stretching videos are static. I just loved the flow in this one. I’m going to subscribe.
Do you have a stretching that’s not on the chair for seniors?
A stiff, 73 year old South African woman with little flexibility THANKS you from the bottom of my heart. You are a blessing to my aches and pains disappearing with your part 1 and part 2 ��������
Hi Cindy. I am really enjoying your videos. Do u have a video for lower back? Ty❤️
Hi Mike, I’m a Canadian with a rare nerve disease. My mobility is quite limited with 2 canes!! However, do I ever appreciate your exercise programs that I try to force this old body to do every day!! Thanks so much.
Hello, thank you for these videos, they’re so helpful. I have a question, I have spinal stenosis and bulging discs 3,4,5, with alot of sciatica pain. Is it safe for me to do these stretches without me causing more damage to myself?
Love these simple and easy exercises for seniors. Easy to follow along and about the right amount of time.
I am 86 years old and pretty much confined to my apartment at a retirement home due to the coronavirus. I am delighted to find your exercises. If I do several they are a substitute for what was my daily walk. They are completely doable, even for someone my age, And your presentation is wonderful not condescending as so many are. I am doing several different ones each day. Than you SO much
I’m so excited I found you…since I’ve been cooped up all day I’ve discovered all of your videos and love doing them..easy to follow, just the right amount of time and difficulty and the breathing leaves me calm the rest of the day! Thank you
thanks Mike….i will try these…I am 67. Was wondering what is your back ground?? Are you a trainer? how did you learn these excercises? thanks!!
Today was the first time I tried this one. Great easy moves to get your day started. Love it!
If you are looking to take care of your body and remain steady on your feet well into your twilight years then it’s important to not let anything stand in your way from doing it. Don’t let a few dollars stop you from learning the secrets that could change your life while also enriching it. Can you put a price on health?

I really enjoyed your moving stretch routine. I’m in my 60s, so am looking for safe, gentle ways to keep limber. Many thanks!
Greetings from Singapore!
Thanks for a good workout on upper and lower body which I’m doing. Truly appreciate.
Good morning. This was a great stretching workout. I’m definitely going to do this! Thank you!
I think this is a great stretch for ALL ages. I’m not a senior and I find that while working from home, taking a break in the middle of the morning to do these exercises boosts my energy. Cindy as great energy, thank you.
LUUUVE This Stretching Video!! Music is fun too!Pushing the 70 mark pretty soon, and thought I would never get into this condition. But well, here I am, So stiff I feel like I have to be careful to turn over in bed, get up from bed, whenever I get in, or out of the car Etc., whenever I turn or move, and this is the first video that I have found that is on the fun, lighthearted side, and with encouraging words, as well as stretches I can do even though will be starting out slow, I’ll get there, and determined to do so. Thankyou Soo much for thinking about those of us in our Golden Years, when our Golden Years don’t feel so Golden. Lol. ❤️
Thank you for your video. We are presently, in a coronavirus stay at home with everything closed except for grocery stores, drugstores open. Your stretching video is helping me to stay in my daily workouts.
I have been looking for a routine I can share with my senior mother who is still VERY healthy, but suffers from daily stiffness and discomfort, I kept suggesting routines that were too advanced, or not effective at all! but NOW I finally feel like I have found an instructor and a channel that is perfect for what she needs:) THANKS AGAIN
I don’t see my self as a senior but i am not 25 or 55, so i am heading that way. My lower back went a few days ago and i am on pain killers. This video has helped me. Thank you. From London

I know I’ve said it elsewhere, but I’ll say it again. Thank you. Your gentle tone and manner is appreciated.
I am only 54 so not a senior yet, but I am so out of shape that this stretch is something I can do and I feels great.

When I do you videos I know that I am doing the exercise correctly and not hurting myself doing them the wrong way…which is what has happened to me in the past.
