  1. M only 81 .Will try yr suggestion. Meanwhile have been doing a jogawalk once in the morning n evening for abt one hour each in addition to pumping n other light muscular excise. Will keep u young at heart..

  2. It’s good to perform exercises daily. I would advice this sweet lady to relax her jaw, and allow her breathing to be free all the time. In the nervous system jaw muscles affect the way your body keeps you in balance against the gravity, so if your soften your jaw muscles, doing movement exercises gets easier. Continuous breathing is also important, any time you hold your breathing, part of the spine becomes stiff, making it harder to move freely.

  3. Exercises really very and a well designed. And a very nicely decorated..
    Thanks a lot .. God blessed u . Myself is a retired eye care practitioner

  4. I will be severely castigated for this comment, but I have to say that I was appalled when I saw this video, and amazed at the universally laudatory comments posted, many, horrifyingly, from young people. Obviously there will be many unfortunate people, who through no fault of their own, maybe from debilitating illness or severe accident, have been unable to exercise adequately during their life, or even recently, for whom these exercises may be taxing but are beneficial. That others, free of such constraints, find these routines both necessary and beneficial, at whatever age, suggests that they have neglected to take even moderate exercise over a considerable period of time. I was a keen club cyclist in my youth (I joined my first cycling club in 1948) and into my twenties. I then discovered squash, which I played on a consistently regular basis until I was seventy. I retired at sixty-six, bought a road bike and recommenced cycling, combining it with the squash initially. I will be ninety-one in three month’s time, and am still cycling 100km plus per week on average – ignoring any possible derision I also happily wear my Lycra kit. In addition I regularly do a short work out routine using exercise bands. Undoubtedly I have been lucky with my health, but I am by no means ailment free. I have type 2 diabetes , high BP – controlled fortunately, and some years ago suffered an angina attack, which luckily did no lasting damage. This cooment is not intended as self promotion, but purely to illustrate

  5. Thanks for sharing with us. Great and helpful 👍 for seniors. I’m a senior 68 years and English us my 2nd language.

  6. Great video. A senior citizen demonstrating the various exercises makes a lot of sense. I really need those exercises myself. Thanks.

  7. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)
    Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matthew 7:13-14)
    For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
