10 Min Chair Workout for Seniors - HASfit Seated Exercise for Seniors - Chair Exercises for Elderly

[@karins.127]

Day two! After kidney cancer and 4 surgeries (kidney, shoulder, hernia, kidney again) in 2020-2022, I went from an active 52 year old to a stiff little old lady in 3 short years. I like everything about your videos, simple calm encouragement, reminders about breathing and posture, and the screens with encouraging messages bring tears to my eyes; “Today I will love myself enough to exercise”. Thank you and see you tomorrow 😊

[@gdcleanfun]

I used to not be able to lift my feet off the floor for the pelvic exercise. Now I can. Thank you ever so much!

[@lyndawadland5453]

I am been working with you for a week. I am seeing positive changes in my movement and balance. Thank you!

[@deebrown1902]

My m-in-law is 95 years old. We do a small amount of exercises every evening, but needed just a few more ideas (good ones) to add to our usual routine. The HASfit Interactive Trainer 10 minute workout was perfect. It was clear, tasteful, simple in viewing and hearing. Very very appreciative of this video. Many thanks.

[@LeviteSpiritShine]

Thank you so much for making this video!!! We must keep our temple fit for our Savior to live in!!!

[@HASfit]

Amen, Denise! Thanks for working out with me.

[@elainemclachlan4578]

Hello yes let's honour Our Lord in doing these,thanking him in be able to. Cheers fab lady

[@carolinalumactod3020]

I am 83years. I find these exercises very helpful and I find coach Kozac each session words encouraging to keep going. Thank you.

[@larrychaney2620]

Thanks so much for the 10 Min Chair Workout for Seniors. I have muscular dystrophy and I'm obese. This is the first exercise program I've been able to adapt to my abilities thus enabling me to stick with the program. You guys are awesome!

[@stephaniewogoman3853]

I found your video today as I was looking for a chair workout. I am 400 pounds and my goal is to loose over half my body weight. In have been working out for an hour a day for 32 days now. I have noticed several little changes already; my wedding ring is loose, my joins hurt less and my ROM has drastically improved! I can touch the floor and I can hold my hands behind my back. I have been juicing and making smoothies. I am a newbie at all of this and I am loving it! I soak up information all the time and apply it. My goal is to become a health and fitness instructor and motivate and inspire others to be healthy from the inside out! Freedom!

[@susanbeck4474]

Good for you! How are you doing? I have a goal this year to lose 100 pounds, so you are an inspiration to me! I LOVE this coach and the HASFIT videos. I use the chair one for when I'm at work and do others at home. He's super easy to follow and is very motivational!

[@stephaniewogoman3853]

Thanks Susan! I am doing great. I had health issues from March-September 2014. On December 1,2014 I resumed my health journey. In 5 weeks I've lost 20 lbs. I'm feeling great. My endurance has increased and I have been walking 5000+ steps a day. This week I have been jigging in place for about 10-20 seconds at a time! First time in my life!!! Also, I strength train and do cardio. It is a daily battle but I have drive and determination for the first time. I'm much more confidant and bold than I have ever been. Here's to a new life! You can find me on fb at Stephanie Reese Wogoman. I post daily about my journey. It really helps me stay accountable. :) Thanks again Susan!

[@susanbeck4474]

Good for you and I'm glad your health is back on track! It's so hard to stay motivated, but it's nice that you are doing it! Best of luck to you in your journey and I hope you get to exactly where you want to be!

[@derryserrano1721]

Good job

[@VlogginTherapy]

Stephanie Wogoman good job!!

[@lestyerickson]

Thanks!

[@bjdestiny17]

This is my first time, but I plan to do it again and again. I will be 70 in a few weeks and this really helps me to feel I am still being fit on some level. Thank you.

[@HASfit]

Happy early Birthday from HASfit, Barbara! Keep up the great work. :)

[@eyesignful]

Good for older folk, or anyone recovering, or otherwise disabled! Great job coach!

[@darlenemcclevewitter4755]

I love ❤️ love love hasfit for seniors I could never exercise bcuz of my health,my age n my weight now I can no feel good about myself I just started but I will help n anyway to keep this site going as long as I live n the instructor is so handsome gives a old lady like me something good to look at while trying to get thru my exercises

[@riderhard]

Just started with you, good starter workout, 76 yrs. old! Thk.s much

[@3grannyjan]

After writing to you the other day, I have to tell you I feel so blessed having found your site. I have been doing the exercises for almost 3 weeks now and I do them 2 and 3 times a day. My blood pressure has dropped about 20 points. My doctor will be so happy when I see him in September. Thank you, thank you for your wonderful site. I have followed other therapists, but you are the very best!!!!

[@HASfit]

Janice, thank you for your kind words and for all of your hard work!! Keep it up and keep us posted on your doctors reaction. We can't wait to hear about all of your progress. :)

[@rebeccahahn6172]

Just did this workout with an 80+ year old retired nun at the care home where I work, and it's a good one! Thanks Coach Kozak. Sister went on to tell one of the nursing aides that "It's good and energizing. He's easy to watch, too!" ;) We'll keep this one in the rotation of morning exercises for a long time to come.

[@rosalieb5473]

Update on my post a year ago: I'm now 83 years old, and I do this routine three times a week to keep me flexible. Works like a charm.

[@sandrablundell6362]

Fantastic to find someone who understands workouts for older people.

[@paul824]

thankyou for this exercise regime you have become my saviour. I am 62 yrs old but find this very suitable, naturally I try to go a bit longer and further with this, all the best

[@naomib8282]

I suggested this type of exercise as a tool for disabled dieters on the FatSecret site because it is so 'do-able' for those of us with physical challenges. I know it works! Thanks for what you've done here.

[@patricia4sddrtyjjkklllbudd827]

Like almost everyone in the UK, except the heroes in our hospitals and public services keeping the country running, I’m trapped at home. I am 75 and unfit but have decided to exercise myself fitter every day - and finding your video from among lots on the web, this is the kindest, clearest, least patronising and varied one I’ve found. So a big ‘Thank You’ from this side of the pond! I’ll let you know how I get on - and I’m telling all my friends to join.

[@3grannyjan]

These exercises are excellent. I am 72 and have Neuromuscular disease and can't do any standing exercises. I have been doing these exercises 2 and 3 times per day. I feel so much stronger now after doing them for the last 2 weeks. When I saw my doctor I was telling him about the exercises and he was very happy. I have had over 400 physical therapy visits, but I like these exercises better. Thank you so much for making this video available.

[@HASfit]

You're welcome Janice and thank you so much for exercising with me. Keep up the great work!

[@nancyvillere3248]

This was great! Working out with my 86yr old Mom with this video! And passing it on to my sisters. Good to do this at any age.

[@HASfit]

That's right, Nancy! Thank you so much for sharing us with your mom and sisters.

[@tanyakamonpramualratana9105]

Thank you so much. Youre probably not there but I do appreciate this as I have had a knee injury and this is helping a lot.

[@Barnycomedy]

I just did this for the first time. Loved it, will definitely make this a routine. Thank you

[@darlenesaunders6557]

thanks for helping and healing me throughout my body and also my disabilities

[@HASfit]

You're so welcome Darlene!

[@nancyfroening1242]

I have really enjoyed the HASfit Seated Exercise Program. While recooperating from pelvic and shoulder fractures and injury, these were a nice addition on the days when I did not have structured Physical Therapy. I have a home exercise program, yet these provided variety. I am also building stamina by doing more than one on certain days. Thank you!

[@HASfit]

You're welcome Nancy and we're happy that you've benefited from these routines. We hope you get to feeling 100% soon.

[@gdcleanfun]

I am so glad I found your video! I'll be following along 3 times a week. Thank you!

[@denisemccleese3895]

Good morning I just did your video for the first time today actually the second time I found it by accident I am 60 years old and this is the best video that I’ve done thank you for not talking so much and your voice is very calm

[@francesrude3007]

THESE ALSO CAN BE COOL DOWNS, OR WARM UPS. I REALLY LOVE THEM. THANKS AGAIN.

[@carlosjuanrosello]

This workout is lifesaver.

[@VlogginTherapy]

This is how I got started, Hasfit you still have the best-seated workouts. After my second ankle surgery, sometimes I still have pain in my foot. I enjoy doing these workouts when I don't feel like going to the gym. I always come back and visit these videos. I also created one. Thanks for the inspiration! Have a great weekend.

[@HASfit]

This is so great Stephanie! Thank you for all of your support and for listening to your body when things aren't feeling 100%. Keep up the great work and for inspiring us.

[@crazyaimster]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR FABULOUS WORKOUTS! WE ARE RESIDENTS AT A SMALL NURSING HOME IN CT AND I AM THE THERAPEUTIC RECREATION DIRECTOR. THE WORKOUTS ARE FUN, EASY AND ADAPTABLE TO PEOPLE WITH VARYING LEVELS OF ABILITY!!!!! AMY

[@granmavelez6653]

Even sitting it's a work out.. but Always fun.. Thank You..

[@hopecooke2346]

Thank you. I really enjoy joining you in these chair workouts. Something special ... maybe it's your encouraging words while we exercise. Thanks

[@HASfit]

You're welcome Deborah!

[@paultorre9917]

an excellent workout for seniors who are not to mobile...GREAT...THANKS

[@HASfit]

You're welcome!

[@francesrude3007]

THANKS AGAIN FOR THIS WORKOUT. I LOVE THEM!!

[@laverndzuren1171]

Excellent, I feel better just watching, will start right now

[@carolgibson3497]

I just need to say thank you for all the great videos you have done over the years. When we all were mandated the stay at home order in Florida I found a way to help my 89 year old dad stay active using your 10 minute chair exercise from 2013. We have been doing it together through Skype six days a week for four months. My dad has suffered with "Drop Foot" for almost two years and is doing so much better now then he ever did going to physical therapy. And it has been a great time spent with him. Thanks Coach Kozak!

[@maryviti6799]

Thank you young man, I NEEDED your encouragement! See you tomorrow🍀

[@mlpond4]

I really like this exercises, and appreciates that the routine is really achievable for seniors with disability like me

[@HASfit]

Happy to hear you enjoy the workout Mel P!

[@adeyemisegun4946]

+Mel P interesting points ,if anyone else wants to discover fitness for the elderly try Loctavan Senior Fitness Strategy (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my brother in law got cool success with it.

[@tonybaiocchi6222]

Doing the ten min chair exercise at the end of day. Already doing the 20 min seated at noon. Works out great

[@carrieberman4581]

I like you coach, so I came back, I have to start all over again, but you make it fun!

[@HASfit]

Thank you Carrie!

[@christinaarchibald6105]

Good routine for getting back into exercising after a back surgery!

[@nancyfroening1242]

Love this one! Had not done for awhile, and repeated it today. I saw such progress since first starting!

[@DavidQuackenbushCallMeQuack]

THank You! These workouts are exactly what I need to help with my mother. My mother is elderly and has much difficulty doing any kind of exercises. I am doing your workouts with her. It helps her alot and gives us time together that is productive. She can't do the entire 10 min workout but she is trying and it helps her depression to succeed even a little.

[@HASfit]

David, thank you for sharing your story about your mom. We're so honored to be a resource for your mom and for you. Comments like yours serve as an inspiration to us to keep going. Thank you.

[@hgdutoit7148]

Thank you. Just start working out again after 3 big tummy repair hernias. Enjoy it just like before. After 6 weeks of recuperation it feel very nice to move again. Thanks again.

[@maryann5954]

Thanks for the video. My mom is 94 and we started doing the senior chair work out

[@maematthe2839]

I was looking for exercises for my heart as I am not doing physical exercises because I am not going to the gym these days. Your exercises are perfect. They are quick and give me a good cardio exercise. Thank you

[@susanbeck4474]

Your videos are really helpful! I'm not elderly, but I do this one at work every day now. I am a transcriptionist and sit all day and these exercises are a nice break that help me still feel mobile and not as "tight" after sitting for such a long time while working! I also do one of your other videos each morning before work. Love them! Coach is super at teaching, training, and encouraging! :)

[@kennethgaines5666]

I love your workout for seniors I try to work out 3x a week! Thank you!

[@vivacox1861]

I have health problems that prevent me from walking a lot- I just tried this and it is awesome. I am doing this everyday, thank you so much.

[@nannygranny4]

Thank you. I was actually able to do this🙂 also I have shared it with my sisters and brothers who are older than me .. my eldest sister has taken it and ran with it. You can see how much her muscle strength and movement has improved.. 💗👍🙏🏽 God bless you

[@Blockbuster_2025]

sir...thanks very much . your good feel vibe and positive attitude. has gave my mom inspiration to work out. God Bless You. .

[@shirleydaly4818]

I so enjoy this work out thank you

[@charlesadair2050]

Thank you so much Coach Kozak i can see and feel the change in my body. maybe 60 is not so bad. so much energy.

[@HASfit]

You're only as old as you feel. Keep up the great work!

[@davidwhaley3434]

Excellent Job, Coach. Perfect starter for seniors who've been inactive for whatever period of time. The exercises, pacing, "tricks, tips & traps" are spot on for these exercises. BTW, an observer or mirror would be ideal for the participant to verify they are following the "tricks, tips & traps". Cudos, Nice Job!! ... dw

[@HASfit]

Thank you so much David for your support and keep up the great work!

[@mehrunramji]

I have started to do these exercises with you for over a week and I feel great. Thank you for posting.

[@HASfit]

You're welcome Mehrun!

[@violetacorey5240]

Love these workouts, I have a disability and am glad I came across these workout to help with my movement's thank you so much

[@janakiramsetty5812]

Simple but very effective for seniors.😋🤗 thanks

[@belindathomas5177]

I go to the gym at least 3 days a week and when l came across this workout for seniors and tried it I was so amazed. I am going to continue to do both. Thank yo

R. Brosilow--80-plus years. After 2 months in hospital I do the 10-minite seated session three times weekly It's a lifesaver

[@jamyjane1]

Absolutly brilliant. Impressed by the set of exercises and enjoyed the friendly presentation. Loved the inspirational messages also. This is going to be a life changer. Many thanks.

[@sparklewish80]

this was awesome!! my dad suffered two strokes about half a year go and he is so stubborn about working out. he just did this workout and he loved it!! thank you so much!! can you please do a few more workouts like these?

[@krosmon]

Thank you for this. I'm so glad I found it. I am 79 years old with a-fib so am afraid to get my heart rate up very much as it goes into arrhythmia so most exercises are too much for me. I am over 300 lbs and it is almost impossible to do much any more, but I'm not ready to become totally sedentary yet. This feels like just what I was looking for. My first workout was this morning and I lasted through it and it feels good. I will come back to this again as I think it is about all I can do right now.

[@sharonahearn717]

Good for you!

[@cathypap6483]

Thank you! My next BD is 80. Before COVID I used to exercise twice weekly at the Senior center. During COVID we didn't meet for exercise and I managed to fall down in the house 🏡 on 4 occasions , the last one I cracked my pelvis in 4 places and spent a whole month on my back in a hospital bed until I healed. Now I walk with a cane for security. You are doing a wonderful job for us elderly people, giving us back our mobility . I look forward to working out with you, Coach!

[@evangeliamoutafis6884]

I feel so blessed to have met you, love exersise with you.your kind and positive nature makes it a pleasure for me.thank you.

You're welcome!

[@ParmanuKumarSanghParmeshwar]

this is really great and my mother who is diabetic type 2 and aged 66 worked out seriously and it had an amazing result ...with her glucose level and insulin units decreased from 38 per day in 3 breaks ...and now with just 15 and of course with diet Thanks dear from my mom to u

[@NatashaClarksdale]

This is such a great video. : ) I recommend it for anyone who isn't able to be on their feet for too long!

[@arlenerogerswilhite2236]

I love this video thank you and yes after a few days I felt a big difference in my energy level. this is my second week.

[@HASfit]

Wonderful Arlene! Thank you so much for your support and keep up the great work. :)

[@arlenerogerswilhite2236]

Thank you. I feel great! I will.

[@cyndyvanburger9387]

These exercises have been a Godsend for me. I am 66 years old, had a liver transplant, broke 6 vertebrae, and a heart attack, all in 6 months! I am limited to what I can do, and still can't walk more than 10 to 20 steps without support, so these exercises are essential for my health. I am very grateful to have these@

[@Deborah_GetFitOver70]

Love these workouts. First time I have ever completed strength training and I love it. I feel awesome. Thank you so much.

[@lucyaranzanso10]

thank u so much.its great for me God bless.

[@smitadeshpande922]

excellent and effective! Thank you

[@yanaking1390]

Hi! Love these videos. I recommend them within my senior living company. One suggestion: if seniors were in your videos, doing the exercise along with you, it would be a hit. Consider featuring old people, it would make it much more relatable and engaging for older people to watch.

[@HASfit]

Thanks for the feedback

[@solomonvivero8177]

[@carolinaflores3137]

I just started tonight. My first time I did 10 minutes and it's great. My sugar rate is too high because I don't exercise. I hope to stop it from increasing and stable down to a normal rate, by continuing to do this from now on. My nutritionist recommended this chair exercise.
