@@donnacraig5225 yes, I believe my balance is better. I could probably use more work on it though to improve my confidence. I think I'll start seeking out the yes2next balance oriented videos and do them more frequently. See you there☺️

Thankyou dear ladies. I've had back surgery and am enjoying these gentle but *yes I feel it" exercises. Relaxed atmosphere and gentle voice presents a peaceful ambience for me to participate in. No loud voice or hurriedness. Looking forward to improving my balance. Thankyou for inviting us into your exercise home.

I finished up the *1 Week Strength Training Plan - Intermediate* with this gentle stretch and balance routine last night. I found some of the balancing a bit challenging and even lost my balance a bit once or twice -- maybe because I was doing it late at night before bed, but overall I found it relaxing. I'll try to do it earlier in the day next time. (written on Wednesday, Jan. 31, 2024)
Thank you! YAY! You did it! 👏 Congratulations! Excellent work on finishing the 1 Week Strength Training Plan! You did your heart and muscles good! 💪 Strong muscles build more muscle and that's important too! Your balance was probably due to the late hour and if you try the moves again your balance will be just fine!👏 Keep challenging yourself! Know this is what your mind and body need to do! Hope we can keep you challenged to keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️
Thank you both for this 10min 7day challenge. I am back home safe and sound. I had a great time with my daughter!! I am keeping it moving thanks to you both as well!!!🤩💯😻🙏
Thank you! Glad you did the 7 Day Challenge! You gave your heart and muscles a good workout! YAY! Nice work! 👏Great you are back home safely after visiting your daughter and it sounds like you had a nice time too! Perfect! We know you kept on moving with us too during your visit! YAY! 💪That's the way to stay strong! Keep it going and keep moving with us! See you soon! ❤️

I was looking for a short workout to finish out my daily workout goal. I had already did some rebounding and short walks to and from church. I found this one. I have never done any type of Tai Chi before. It was perfect to do just before bed and will do more that are similar. I love your cat and your mom (and you too, of course).

It is interesting that you would say, April, that doing this we could sleep better as I dreamed of this lovely session last night!

Now HOW did I overlook this one! It's a wonderful routine. It's best done standing because of the heel/toe dynamic. I especially welcomed the breathing "rest" periods because of the active hand movements, during which time I did so with my eyes closed creating imagery as I breathed and moved. I WANT MORE OF THESE, April. Warm hellos to Aiko, and very vocal Mochi!...Anastasia
