How to get started
  • Debbie, 72

    On February 1st last year I was at my doctor’s with severe blood pressure. I went home and googled exercise for seniors and up you popped. A year later I have gone from a 10 minute workout to intermediate. I also walk everyday. My blood pressure this morning is normal and I have lost nearly 2 stone. I am now trying to gain more strength. At 72 years old I can't thank you ladies enough. I am a different woman and you have probably saved my life.

  • Judy, 69

    I have lost 64lbs using your workout videos and eating healthy. I have never been able to continue a workout plan but I so enjoy yours that I look forward to the videos and how I feel after I complete one. Thank you for all you do!

  • Caroline, 27

    I’m 27, I’ve had my 4th baby just shy of 3 months ago… that pregnancy had me on bed rest, then on crutches and I am slowly gaining some movement now. I know your exercises are aimed at seniors, but I find that these are the only ones I can keep up with and actually achieve doing without getting discouraged! Thank you so much for these! I’m in the road to recovery!

  • Sheila, 63

    Oh my GOODNESS!! I can not begin to tell you how much your videos on YouTube have changed my life!!! I hate exercising!!! I hate sweating. I hate being out of breath. And at 63 yrs old I got the news that I’m hypertensive.


    I’m obese and I have Hashimotos. I knew I had to make some lifestyle changes or my lifestyle was going to kill me! Finding you on YouTube has been the best thing that has happened for me!!! And it’s really helped my mental and physical health, tremendously! I’ve lost 25 lbs (I still have a long way to go) and I’m no longer taking the Losartan for my blood pressure!
    I can’t thank you enough!!!

  • Sharon, 68

    I an 68 and my husband is 69. He struggles Iwith joint pain, a bad back, shoulder aches, stiff hands from years of being a mailman. I looked for exercises that he would do that weren’t frustrating.

    We started watching your YouTube channel. Now every night he says, “aren’t we going to do those exercises?”

    We love exercising with you! Thank you!

  • Janet, 44

    I have been following you beautiful ladies for a while now. I am 44 and at 234 lbs it's hard to find workouts that are doable and satisfying. You two are the best. I just introduced my daughter (15 years old) and she actually enjoys doing the workouts with me.

    Thank you!!!!
