Strong And Able Fitness

Here I am practicing my first Pilates class truly to myself. When you take a course/class at the gym or on the tv, these instructors have put in a lot of time and thought to get the right exercises and words to make your class special. This is my first attempt. Thank recorded it so that you may “enjoy” what Pilates entails as well as get in a seated exercise class. Please remember to do only what feels right for you. I am just your guide.

Everyone is capable of moving their bodies, lifting their spirits and pride. Come join me. Please, though, only do what is safe for you. I am only your guide.

Within reason for your own body, these are good exercises. However, go slowly and listen to your body and also ask your doctor if they are safe for you. If you have any numbness or tingling down your legs or feet with one of these exercises, please avoid. Go slowly and gently and do not bounce the motions. What do you think of these?

I forgot why I loved PBS so much. Here is another brilliant show.

I have been enjoying this PBS show. Please search for it and enjoy. If you want it more heart pumping, perform the movements quicker. I prefer to just relax and follow the calming voice of the leader though.

I know many people are purchasing exercise equipment like I did. However, my wrists were cramping and my upper arms were getting sore. This was recommended to me. It’s a life saver. I tried to block my equipment for the photo since I want to plug the foam padding instead. Others used pool noodles with great success also. I hope it helps some of you.

Thank you for allowing me on this journey with you for improved mobility and strength. Please recommend or request new routines as you wish. From my open heart to yours, namaste.

Good morning! Grab some soup cans or small bags of dried beans as weights (or even some dumbbells) and join me in a chair for a seated arm, chest, back and core workout. Please follow the advice of your doctor and listen to your own body however. Do what is best for you as I am only your guide. Thank you for allowing me to join you in our steps to getting healthier and more fit. From my open heart to yours, namaste.

Good morning! Today, let’s get our seated workout in with some “80’s music”. Why is that in quotation marks? Well...if you listen VERY carefully, you might recognize the song but to be allowed to be played online, it had to be altered. I am not sure how I felt about the songs but a good cardio workout was had. So, please, listen to your doctor and your body as I am only your guide...and then, try to remember these songs so you can share them with me. 😉 Thank you for continuing this journey to better health with me. From my open heart to yours, namaste.

Good morning! More research is showing that dancing helps with Parkinson’s disorders and dementia (and is plain old fun). So, polish off your “dancing” shoes, grab a countertop or back of the chair for support to use as needed and come practice your box step and Charleston moves with me. Of course, we break down the moves and laugh sometimes more than dance. Please, however, listen to your doctor and your own body and do what is right and safe for you. Do the moves that you would like or add, subtract, embellish as you see fit as this is your workout. Thank you for everything. From my open heart to yours, namaste.
