I’m from Ottawa, Canada 🇨🇦 Just started your 5 min workout in the morning, and did this for the first time after work - LOVED the music, the countdown, and your presence and wonderful smile 😊 These short stretch routine really help me get back to moving! I feel good after - loosened up and more relaxed 😌 Thank you 🙏

These standing stretches are great even for younger people imo. I try to do a quick 10-minute yoga practice every morning before work but if I'm running late I'll do one of these instead. I often do these during my work day too as a quick break time activity, it is so versatile bc you don't need to roll out a mat etc.

Hi Meg. I have been using your 5 minute stretch for senior routine and have found it helpful. I'm 68 and active but still have some stiffness in the mornings and I have found that your routine helps. I'm trying this one now for a bit to change it up. I also like your workout in the Tropics. Thank you.

Watching in 2024…loved it it was short and effective. I only wish you had a bell or signal when you finished the stretch so I didn’t have to keep my eye on my screen. But other than that it was a great cool down segment 😊

@trudymedcalf4615 2 жыл бұрын

This is lovely. Like you. I think the addition of the countdown timer is really helpful and hope you will use it in some of your upcoming videos where it's most appropriate. I wonder whether, with a no-talk video, you might ask participants before the stretching begins to watch the first time you do each exercise and then join in. Only when I stopped to watch the forward fold exercise, for example, did I realize it was a hinge movement rather than a stretch right down to the toes. Another example was the hamstring stretch. I realized after watching that when you came up you pulled your elbows back. Ha ha, you asked for feedback. Wonderful as always. Trudy

@AIMFitnessActivitiesInMotion 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Trudy, Thanks so much for this helpful feedback! I appreciate what you are sharing. It's a good point that you raise. I will make some adjustments and work on this for the next no-talk video. Thanks for watching and for your encouragement!! Meg

Liked the program, key exercises that really help. It may take a while to get used to the no talking by you! I do like your way of interacting and talking as you exercise, and like the feel of not being alone with the exercise.
