i absolutely agree, exercises aimed at seniors are genuinely really helpful! that youtuber also has senior videos too and they're way easier to follow cause they're a bit slower paced so i can keep up better (genuinely the ones i follow the most). always gotta go at your own pace and listen to your body! also can i ask what website you use?
haha yeah if I'm trying to follow yoga or cardio videos that go too fast I feel like I trip over my own feet even when I was my most fit.
The workout I used was based off of this. I kinda combined a few other exercises with the basic format of the seniors/beginners routine to make it longer. I seriously had no idea how difficult it would be to do the amosov squats and ankle rotations! I'm pretty sure I have shit ankle mobility so squats are pretty difficult for me to do so that was good but only could do like 20. Same with ankle rotations, I could only maybe do 20 in both directions, but now I've worked up to 50 in each direction. Gotta take 1-2 breaks though
