hi Penny,
I agree, I enjoy the slow and controlled workouts as well. Some that I like are: Pahla Bowers (her new stuff - 2019 - present is slower and more controlled) CocoLime Fitness - she used to have a more robust You Tube channel but moved a lot of her stuff to a Vimeo channel that requires a monthly fee - it isn't very expensive though. And, a new find - Senior Shape w/ Lauren: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkW...LuRDhH7uxtZqqA Fabulous 50's is another that looks good (although I haven't tried any yet) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiW...OXjQ6xY0gIrhIQ I am finding myself gravitating more and more towards these types of routines as well. I often feel like I'm nursing some sort of injury and moving slower w/ more control feels better. If I can think of any more I will post! I do remember you posting about the loss of your DS. and ((HUGS)) Donna |

I'm with you, Penny!
I've never been fond of intense workouts. I don't have the coordination or the speed. To put it another way: I'm clumsy and prone to injuring myself. And I hate jumping! I've always been intermediate, at most. Even when I was at my fittest, I was doing the calmer barre workouts. I've been enjoying these "senior strength" from YMCA of Greater Houston (I'm not a senior, but I appreciate slower strength and balance work). I like the workouts led by Ariel the most: https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=...Y-u5VpIijOGgUE |

Sorry to hear about your recent injuries. Not to hijack the thread, but I recently saw this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpaDKdPbTrY which is Bob and Brad (youtube physical therapists who've been mentioned in the forum here previously) talking about exercises people over 50 should "never" do, and better alternatives. They focus on lower back and shoulders especially. I watched it sometime in the last week and I've been really conscious of these moves (haven't quite started on the alternatives yet ).
