And we're going to talk

Warm up your joints.

- If you want a 60 second version
of the program where we don't ramble on.
- That's right. And we have podcasts out there now, Bob.
We gotta keep that sign as long as we can.
Waste not, want not.
- Yeah, sure.
- You know how that goes.
All right, Bob, we got a 10 minute
seated exercise program.
We've got this for seniors that are
going to appreciate it, hopefully.
And once again, what are you doing, Bob?
- I'm getting ready. I'm warming up.
- Nah, that's, we're not, that's an advanced one.
- Okay.
- But let's go on.
Let's talk about who this video is dedicated to.
To the people at Prairie Home Residence.
Actually, my mother lives here.
- Sure.
- And I'm going to say hi to my mother.
- Hi, mom.
- Yep, her name is June.
They said I can't say the names
of the other people who live there
because of confidentiality,
but I can say your name.
- Hi, Mrs. Heineck.
- Thanks, Bob.
Yeah. And this is for you from us.
Hopefully you will enjoy it. All right.
- Our gift to you.
- All right, so.
- If you can call it a gift.
- I do want to thank Amy.
She's a staff worker there and helped in putting this on.
And Sandy, the director who helped us.
- Thanks Amy, thanks Sandy.
- That's right. All right.
Now we really need to relax a little bit.
Make sure before you exercise,
you get some water. And make sure it's water.
- Sure.
- So before you come out and get ready.
- Where's my water?
- Yeah, you don't get any. You're the control group.
(laughing)
- Okay.
- Okay. Good posture.
So we're in a chair.
Make sure your scoot your bottom back.
Is your bottom back, Bob?
- I thought you were gonna
start with by the ball?
- Well, hang on, Bob.
- Okay.
- Don't jump into things.
- Okay.
- Take a deep breath and relax and breathe out.
And if you want to do the stretch.
Bob, pay attention.
Stretch while you take the deep breath in
to expand the chest.
What is this?
- A W.
- This is a W for Wisconsin, that's right?
- Or for win.
- That's right.
Do that two or three times
getting ready to get go,
going, all right.
Now we're going to start out
with the feet and work all the
way up to the head.
- Gotcha.
- So, feet out and ankle pumps.
So up. You can watch Bob's ankles,
there you go, his feet.
Think about getting,
it's like your foot on the gas pedal.
- Sure.
- You bet.
Yep. My mom, she had a pretty heavy pedal.
- Did she really?
- Yeah, she used to drive her mercury pretty fast.
Maybe a little too fast speed.
- One speed and it was fast, huh?
- Yeah, she was.
- Wonder where Matt, Brad got that from?
- Yeah, exactly.
Two circles now. Make circles with your toes.
There you go, take a deep breath.
- Now, if you have to you can keep your feet,
heels on the ground.
- Yeah, you don't have to hold.
That's a good point, Bob.
They will appreciate.
- If it's too hard for you.
- Yep, exactly.
Now we do want to work those knees
because you get a little arthritis
in those knees, you want to keep that mobility going?
- You want them moving.
- So, with one leg at a time,
we're going to kick up and down,
but not too fast.
Get it as straight as you can and bring it down.
Bob, you're doing a real nice job.
Can you see him, Tanner?
- [Tanner] Good.
- We've got similar pants on.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Well, similar.
- Yeah, I've got three stripes, you've got one.
- You're a Colonel or something.
- Yeah
(laughing)
So what we're doing here is we're doing 10,
but we might be off count a little bit.
Let's do the other leg now.
- Okay, wow.
- The big thing is we get about 10 plus or minus.
- Three, four.
- You don't have to keep up with us
or if you want to go a little faster,
- Five.
- But slower is better than faster in general.
- Six, seven.
- Watch out who's in front of you
- Eight.
- Don't want to kick anybody.
- Nine
- If Andy's walking across, watch out. Be careful.
- Ten.
You can trip her.
- Safety
(laughter)
Safety first. All right.
Now we call those toe taps out to the side,
out to the one side and if you want,
try and see if you can touch with your toe.
Bob's kicking.
- Oh, I'm at my heel.
- Yeah. You can use your heel.
- Well, while you're tall like this it's
hard to hit on your toe.
- Right, and believe me, Bob.
There's nobody that's as tall as you
that lives there.
- I agree.
- Yeah. He's six, six foot six inches.
- Six inches, yeah.
- That's right.
So we're going to do about ten of these.
Out to this side.
We're working those hips a little bit now.
- Yeah.
- You should feel those hips working.
- Maybe even a little bit of the core.
- Yep, little bit, exactly right, Bob.
Those stomach muscles. All right.
- You totally lost count, did you?
- Yeah, I did. All right, we're going to go
to the next one. Good posture.
Remember that posture.
We're going to do some seated marching.
Working those hips in a different direction.
Now we're going to do 10 on a side.
That would be twenty if we're counting one, two, three.
- Seven, eight, nine, ten.
- You're counting. Good.
I can, I can never keep track of my counting,
you know?
- Thirteen, fourteen.
- I know my gazintas, though.
- Sixteen, seventeen.
Two goes into four, four goes into eight.
- Eighteen, nineteen, twenty.
- That's from a, a movie kind of a thing.
(laughter)
- Now you went and did twenty-four.
- I'm sorry. We're a little overtime.
We're gonna go on to the next one. All right.
We're going to work our trunks,
So we're gonna look over
- Oh.
- Just rotate your shoulders.
Be gentle with it. Look with your neck.
This is one of those range,
We're going to go back to the right.
- So you're moving your neck and your back, right?
- Yes. This would be like, if you're backing up a car,
you're gonna look over your shoulder
- Sure
- to see where you're backing up.
You know, you don't need that
nowadays cars because of the video.
- Yeah, the backup cameras.
- Yeah, those cameras,
but we do need it in everyday life.
So make sure we keep the trunk
- Yep.
- and the neck flexible and rotating.
- So, he's taking his hand and actually
grabbing the opposite, um,
- Arm rest.
- Arm rest, yeah.
- And that gives you a little leverage
to do an extra stretch.
- Yep.
- Remember, none of these should create
- No pain
- No pain. If they create pain,
you skip that exercise, wait for the next one.
All right. Now, wait a second, Bob.
What number are we on?
- We are on number six.
- Yeah, so just take a break now.
If you have a little water with you, or your coffee.
Take a little drink.
- Now what are you gonna do?
- We're giving them a break, it's halftime.
- Oh.
- Yeah, so I thought I'd do a little dance here for them.
- Oh, my god.
I gotta get my, my hat on.
Mom, do you recognize this hat from uncle Willy?
- Your poor mom, your poor mom.
- Yep, now we're just gonna do
a little bit of dance here.
- Oh, jeez.
- And this, who does this remind you of, huh?
- Who?
- Fred Astaire.
- Fred
(laughter)
- Yeah, "Putting on the Ritz".
Remember the movie "Putting on the Ritz" with Fred Astaire?
- Yeah, the people are staring at you, all right.
- These people know Fred Astaire.
They're all wonderful.
All right, let's get on with the program, Bob.
- Next one?
All right, hands out.
- The fingers?
- Yep. Palm up.
- Palm up.
- Palm down.
- Yep. Up and down.
- Down.
- Up.
- You skipped one, though.
- What? I did?
- Yeah.
- Well then, we're gonna do that now then.
- We'll do closed fingers down.
- Okay, reach out in front of you.
Open those fingers up as wide as you can.
Close them as tight as you feel comfortable,
and just continue to do that.
There's a lot of joints and bones
of your hands and fingers.
- Yes.
- Arthritis, that's a prime spot for many people.
- Yeah, want to keep your hands moving.
- Yup, it's important to do this.
And now, let's get the wrist too, Bob.
- Let's go to the wrists.
- You can go, make circles.
- One direction and then go the opposite direction.
- The other direction.
Oh, this is fun, Bob.
I hope they're enjoying this.
- This is where I like to use this
opportunity to slap a neighbor.
- Oh, Bob. This is a family show.
- Oh, all right.
- Let's keep everything on the up and up.
- All right.
- Okay, elbows flexion.
Just work those elbows as straight as you can.
- Two
- Flex them.
- Three.
- There we go.
- Four.
- That's it.
- Five, six.
- Now we're gonna do the shoulders.
- Seven.
- You may have to lean forward a little bit
and work circles either direction.
We're gonna do both directions.
About four or five big circles,
and get those shoulder blades going, right, Bob?
- Yep, good posture.
- Yeah, absolutely.
Go the other direction. Oh, man.
Now this is the one I always talk about
as if you're out in the backyard,
you got an apple tree.
You gotta reach up and over
to reach for that apple as high as you can.
Are you gonna do it?
- Well, yeah. I can reach the upper branches.
- He's fallen asleep.
If there's anyone falling asleep,
you know, just politely say "Can you wake up?"
- Give them a little nudge.
- Yep. Go the other hand,
so up reaching for that apple and over
and stretch the side.
Take a deep breath while you do this.
You gotta keep that air moving in and out.
- You know, there's an advantage
to being six foot six?
(laughter)
You get the apples that nobody else can get.
- Yeah, the bigger ones.
- The ones that nobody can pick.
- To the neck, Bob.
- Okay.
- We're just going to gently go up and down.
Be careful with this one, especially looking up.
- Yeah, again, yeah, if it hurts
- If it hurts
- Stop before it starts to hurt.
- Just make little yes and nos instead of big ones.
So, no pain at all with this
or dizziness or light-headedness.
Sometimes that happens.
- We said no pain but you're saying yes.
(laughter)
- Yeah. Right to left.
- Now no pain.
- We did this one a little bit before.
Yeah, no pain.
- Pain. No pain.
- We're almost done, Bob.
And we're getting this done in about ten minutes.
- Sure.
- It's a little bit less and that's,
that's a good length of time.
- Well, if you go full reps, it'll
probably take a little bit longer.
- Sure. Right. All right.
Good. All right, shake it out a little bit.
Oh, yeah.
- I feel all the (indistinct).
- So I'm not sure what time of day
they do these there. I don't,
I think it's in the afternoon.
But, if it's in the afternoon, and maybe after this.
Now you've worked off some calories.
Get your coffee and maybe, maybe they'll
have a doughnut or a cookie.
- How about the apples I just picked?
- Yeah, or an apple. That would be the healthy choice.
- There we go.
- Very good. Goodbye, Mom, I love you.
- Goodbye, Mom.
- We love all you people at Prairie Home.
- You're wonderful people.
- Lots of kisses.
- That's right. Love from Wisconsin.
- All right. Take care.
