Keep Moving!

This is our mantra. It’s never too late to start exercising and making healthy choices. As we age, we lose muscle and bone density decreases which can make us vulnerable to injuries. So say yes to your next steps to getting stronger and healthier!

Our Beginner Workout Series for all ages is the best place to start. It includes warm ups, cardio, strength training, and cooldowns.

It started with an idea…

When the pandemic hit in 2020, April wanted to help seniors stay active during the shutdown in the comfort and safety of their homes. Wanting to reach as many people as possible, she started creating free video workouts on YouTube with her 81-year-old mom. Both are humbled and grateful that they are helping so many — yes2next videos have been viewed more than 13 million times with more than 135,000 subscribers.

Fitness has been a priority in April’s life since her teens. Now at 58, she is embracing aging and is passionate about inspiring people of all ages to say yes to their next steps to getting healthier and making fitness a lifestyle.

April

After a 30-year full-time corporate career, I followed my passion and became a personal trainer. When the pandemic hit and gyms closed in 2020, I had the idea to start making fitness videos for seniors to help them stay active. I’m thankful my mom agreed to join me! My goal was to help just one senior. I’m so inspired yes2next is now helping thousands — of all ages — around the world.

Aiko

I’m 82-years-old and believe that movement benefits my body and brain. I didn’t know what I was getting into when April asked me to participate in yes2next videos. I thought I was just helping her and have been humbled I can inspire so many to keep moving.

Have you tried Aiko’s sukiyaki recipe? Everyone’s raving about it!

Mochi

I’m a big ball of fur and make appearances in yes2next videos from time to time, sharing my joie de vive! I like talking a lot and modeling how to relax and stretch. I was meant to be on the team — yes2next was born in the same month as me - May 2020!
