20-Minute Advanced Chair Cardio Workout Video You Can Do With A Foot or Ankle Injury

[@patriciakenan8741]

I broke both ankles in a car accident and wanted to exercise. Bless you for thinking about people with disabilities. You don't think about it till it happens to you. Thank you. I am doing WW and love this video.😍😄

[@MultiSexygirl124]

I’m also doing weight watchers and I love this video as well

[@mariaclayton9892]

Me too!

[@videofan792]

I am also doing WW and I have just started doing Caroline’s video. I am feeling motivated and I look forward to getting good results. ❤❤

[@johnm.9131]

I"d been so proud of myself for exercising almost every day- and then I hurt my foot exercising! I'm determined not to get out of the habit and you're helping me- thank you so much! This is great!

[@Erullise19]

Omg same!!!!! I was on a great streak til I got injured 😭😭

[@robineappen]

I feel ya mate. I've been hit with an ankle injury today. Hope this would help me.

[@msf5984]

ima kickboxer those box techniques are laughable, but then again this is no boxing training. its cardio

[@msf5984]

The hart love reaction thing, its the only love i got in 1,5 years fu im lonely.

[@robineappen]

and it certainly did and is still helping me during this whole COVID19 lockdown period. Thank you

[@alannaleedom2608]

I almost cried watching your videos. I have horrible plantar fasciitis with nerve entrapment. I felt like I couldn't do the workouts I wanted. I can't even walk some days. Thank you soooooo much !

[@niconicouana]

I have it too, but not with nerve entrapment. May I suggest you try throwing a plastic water bottle in the freezer and using that (instead of a lacrosse ball, for instance) to sit and roll your foot/feet over, daily? It's incredibly good for plantar's fasciitis and has helped me a lot. The ice in the bottle numbs your foot a bit, while you roll it around. Feels great and no danger. :)

[@lindaakins9013]

I suffer from that too. So painful. Love this video!

[@MsFreddieFreddie]

oh I hear you !!! I had it for three years, nothing worked. Then a friend who had it so bad in both feet that she was using a walker, recommended a physiotherapist. A month of firm pressure massage and me doing a lot of exercises involving a lacrosse ball and two foam wedges and it has been gone for over two years. Best feeling EVER! Still working on losing the weight I packed on while I could barely walk...

[@NikkiDrawsStuff]

I'm autistic I'm not broken anything.. but i do this my mom. and she hurt her foot

[@pratibhaheda203]

It's a medicine for me,dear Caroline

[@lauradefilippo2046]

Dear Caroline, Your chair workouts have been a real ENCOURAGEMENT to me! I broke my 5th metatarsal bone in my right foot, and went from walking 4 miles a day, to wondering "WHAT WILL I DO NOW??" I found you...❤ and I know I will stay healthy during recovery now. I am 58 years old. This is my first broken bone. I will keep moving! Thank You!❤

[@kd0139]

This was so helpful, both mentally and physically. I’ve been feeling very helpless after my injury. thank you!

[@TheRealMsLiz]

I’m recovering from a sprained ankle and really appreciated this workout! Thanks!

[@seasons56]

I broke my ankle 9 months ago and gained 17 lbs. I still can't walk on it without pain, but I'm desperate and determined to get this weight off. Thanks, Caroline Jordan! I this is an unbelievably helpful video- and I love the encouraging words you provide.

[@michelleoie6580]

Didn't know how I would exercise with a broken ankle but you are the salvation! Thank you much!

[@PetravanNuis]

Once again, you are AMAZING Caroline. Can't thank you enough for the physical and psychological stregnthening workout!

[@CarolineJordan]

You're so welcome!

[@sandrae350]

Love the workouts. This is one of my favorites.

[@providencesmith4086]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!! This is helping my mental health in the midst of starting school with a boot!

[@dawnerdmann5480]

After being in a boot for a month already, I came across this video. You say at the end to repeat if we feel necessary. I loved the first 18 minutes so much that I replayed it right away! Over 30 minutes of these exercises and DANG! I am sore today. I've been working out for 20 years and this hit all the spots I often neglect. THANK YOU! Even when the boot comes off, I'll be doing this workout for sure! Thanks!

[@CarolineJordan]

[@jordanwalsh2189]

I love you Caroline Jordan

[@LapidaryLady]

I have gained weight since spraining/fracturing my ankle on Easter. It still hasn’t healed because it’s impossible for me to keep still. I have gained weight because of this injury, quarantine, my loss of work, and my SSRI. This video helped me SO MUCH! I was giggling, smiling, and sweating! Your positive and healthy attitude is what really did it for me. You’re a great teacher!! Thank you!!!

[@CarolineJordan]

Thank you!

[@BrookePalmer]

Thank you! Nursing an injured toe right now and trying to stay active to keep my spirits up. This was perfect.

[@sandyj3691]

I love your chair workout videos. I just committed to working out and eating a healthy diet again about 8 months ago. I was 16 pounds lighter and feeling great when I broke my foot a couple weeks ago. I really didn't want to get out of the workout habit or become totally sedentary with this injury and your workouts are just fabulous to keep me moving. Bless you for doing this!!!

[@mahaloliz4274]

I just love you! I am finally starting to transition out of a boot from Achilles reconstruction surgery. It is because of your videos I have not gained weight while basically being in a cast or boot for four months and I always feel better after. Thank you for what you do. Some days I get very down and miss my cardio. I always look forward to your videos and you challenge us despite the injury.

[@trinityrogers1659]

I agree 100% with Elizabeth! You rock!!

[@michellegonzalez3464]

I'm four months into my healing and recovery from a broken femur and I totally understand you!! I miss my cardio and boot camp classes. This video has helped me keep going . I hope your doing well

[@stephanielacourt3911]

Thank you for posting! I am a fitness instructor and had Achilles reconstruction surgery 10 days ago...this was the longest I had not worked out since I had my youngest 11 years ago! I enjoyed the workout and can't wait to try more!!! I'm still only 50% weight bearing on my foot with crutches so the chair was great!!! I also have chronic low back pain due to scoliosis, so anything to help that or core strengthening would be helpful too!

[@tracegood5931]

Thanks for the inspiration Caroline. Love your Hurt Foot videos. Saved my sanity during UK lockdowns, 3 bone cancer surgeries on my foot & leg, & recovery from chemotherapy. I feel stronger than to you xxx

[@Papimillion]

Thank you. I have foot neuromas and can neither jog nor walk with ease nor will I be able to. Your particular videos changed what I thought wasn't possible anymore in the way of exercise, and this one was my start. Your energy, vigor, positivity, - too many good qualities to list here... I'm very, very grateful as well for the compassion and understanding. Thank you again.

[@gabriellekathleen4498]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Caroline! I broke my foot (lisfranc fracture) in multiple places and have been in a cast for 4 months. I was just put in a moonboot and have been struggling with energy levels being very low. Your videos get me moving and your energy helps lift my mood. Thank you so much for creating such an awesome specialized workout. ❤️❤️❤️

[@CarolineJordan]

Join us at www.hurtfootfitness.com Gabrielle!! I have SO much more to offer you there!

[@ericabbey6965]

This is my husband's account, but I (his wife) have been doing your videos for the last few months. I have chronic tendonitis and haven't been able to run or jump. I don't know what I would have done without you Caroline! Seriously, your videos have been a lifesaver physically and mentally. And I'm totally adding your floor workouts to my exercise routine even when I'm cleared to run!

[@robinettehicks8769]

This is the best! I have bad ankles that restricts me from most stand up exercise routines. I couldn’t believe how this chair cardio had me sweating in a few short minutes! This chair cardio is so good that I am going to start doing this every morning and evening. It’s only 20 minutes, which is the recommended daily minimum. As Americans some of us have so much trouble with weight. This quick and effective routine should be mandatory for all, especially in this Pandemic. This routine should have its own channel on cable TV that just runs all day. I can’t believe how much I sweat! This routine is the bomb.com. I am 62 and if I can do it, anyone can. In fact, it is a good routine for seniors as well. I am glad I found it, 😅

[@joanayers4982]

Hi Caroline...I don't know what I would do without your chair cardio videos...keep'm comin'!!

[@shradhakunte5688]

❤love this

[@MiissBumbleB]

Just discovered this, ruptured both Achilles’ tendons about 4 months ago, just did the chair workout, thank you SO much for this. Feeling super pumped and positive for the first time with everything that’s happened!! Deffo going to keep this chair workout up!!

[@maryannnafziger5653]

Amazing! Thanks for helping me recover!

[@CarolineJordan]

Happy to help!

[@SS-lo7qr]

Caroline you are wonderful. I love doing all the exercises with you. God bless you. 🤗

[@sharonkennedy4135]

I’m 5 weeks after breaking small bone and rolling over my ankle and have been feeling despondent lately as I’m normally a very fit and active person. I came across this video by chance, or was it ?! And Caroline, you made me smile. I sweat during the workout, my heart pumped and I realized I can still keep my cardio going even though I can’t jump up and down!!! Thank you so much, I feel my endorphins once again! Xxx

[@Jeanine233]

Had foot surgery on May 17th in Boston . No exercise or movement suggestions - this is just terrific! Loved this one and yes I "sparkled"

[@sandralindberg3643]

I found your hurt foot videos about a week ago. Broke a bone in my foot and wanted to stay fit while healing. I love your videos! Thank you for thinking of us busy healing.

[@lorrainescott5897]

One of the best chair cardio videos I’ve found!

[@CarolineJordan]

Yay! Thank you!

[@paoania]

Thank you so much for enabling me to work out while my toe is broken, I love you for that!!!

[@julieconquest3798]

Brilliant .! ...for everyone ! Especially if recovering from op or injury.👍👍

[@NikkiDrawsStuff]

my mom and i do this my my hurt her foot and this helps i started to do this everyday. thank you for this sweet Caroline. BA BA BAA Eidt: 2.25.2023 I'm still doing this with my mom and I'm feeling proud of myself

[@EmmaBeach-m1f]

I’ve been so frustrated with a foot injury. This workout made a big difference to my day. Thank you for the intensity of the workout and the emotional encouragement. What a gift you have given

[@CarolineJordan]

[@Kacie209]

I had finally gotten back into a consistent workout routine for about 1.5 months, and then decided to switch it up by running/walking. 2 days into that, I missed a step on our stairs and sprained my ankle (between a Grade 1 and 2). I was super bummed. I'm doing rehab for it now, but know I can't get back into the cardio (and some strength training that I was doing) for awhile. I was happy to find these videos! Thank you for doing them!

[@ilonavanderhoek602]

Kacie Miller literally the same happened to me

[@MultiSexygirl124]

This was so great. I was definitely sweating. I’m so glad I found your videos

[@monpederson]

I would have loved this when I broke my ankle 3.5 years ago. However, it still acts up on me so I did this today to give it a rest. Fantastic workout and you are so high energy and positive! That is a bonus because us hurt people can use all the positive we can get :) Thank you!

[@angela3297]

Thanks for your encouragement and these videos. I was getting my 10000 steps in now I have my Caroline videos 😃🦶🏼👍🏻💪🏼

[@susanisrael9779]

Whew! Sweating profusely! Thanks!

[@rosemarygowans6825]

Fabulous exercise for me recovering from a hip injury. Thank you.

[@fosterjillian]

I broke my foot yesterday ( metatarsal #5.) I am an avid cyclist and trail runner and honestly am struggling a lot right now accepting this. Thank you for this inspiration. I love you energy.

[@dianewilson5129]

THANK YOU, Caroline, for a chair workout that really WORKS!

[@jessiebaillargeon4191]

Yes you can say I'm glistening that's what I call it. I enjoyed the workout. Thank you for doing workouts in the chair. I think these are easier for me to remember, so if I don't have access to your video I can still do the routine

[@SS-lo7qr]

1 am enjoying chair work out very much. Thank you for your time. 😀🙏

[@jsteinbrink3000]

Loved it Caroline!! In a boot for 2 weeks and need my training to keep a healthy mind. So big thanks!!

[@dianewilson5129]

And yes, it beats all the other chair videos I've seen!

[@toralmehta543]

Exercise with broken ankle is great. My aunty suggested stretches which i do. But watching a video and doing them is encouraging.

[@Chanfb915]

Thank you so much for putting this video together. I am recovering from an injury to my right leg caused by a relapse from multiple sclerosis. The first time I did the video I was only able to do only 16 min but as I continue I am able build up the strength and flexion I need through my leg.

[@megansneed6543]

This is fantastic! Definitely a hot sweaty mess after just 20 minutes. This injured runner appreciates the chair running. Thank you, Caroline!

[@megansneed6543]

Not yet! But I'm planning on it. I also want to enroll in the hurt foot program. I'm getting married in November, so I need this tibia to heal ASAP and stay in shape! You're a life saver!!

[@megansneed6543]

It’s on my list, first thing tomorrow and so excited! Within only a week of my second stress fracture this year, your positive, encouraging, attitude and high-energy workouts have made non-running life a bit more tolerable. Thank you! Getting ready to box first thing tomorrow like someone stole my race training ... but gave me a fantastic speed back-up plan :)

[@emmaleehunt2439]

Love love love this! I am very active person. I had foot surgery about a month ago and have to be non weight bearing for 6 weeks!! Your KZbin videos saved my sanity!!!!

[@suzanned9557]

Thank you so much for your hurt foot videos, having broken my ankle whilst running during to the COVID lockdown, I felt a prisoner at home after being fitted with a boot. Then I found your channel, not only do I excercise with you wearing my boot , you've taught me how I can still do gardening & house work using your techniques , engaging abs , keeping my boot off the ground. The whole day is now a workout which feels fabulous. THANKYOU so much for keeping me sane & happy 💛

[@judithmarrero2977]

LOVE IT. Caroline your chair workouts are fabulous.. TY

[@CarolineJordan]

Glad you like them!

[@ElJefedeJefes9]

WoW !! just amazed and grateful this videos exist !!!

[@dianewilson5129]

AND, Caroline, you're a blast! You make it fun and keep me laughing!

[@belindaplowman9389]

His was great, and I agree other chair workouts were very sleepy compared to this. Your enthusiasm is outstanding!

[@cherylcherie]

June 2018 had a sanders 2 and navicular ankle break. 12 screws and a plate. Use to run 4 mile 6 days a week. I’m 61. Former Sgt USMC. My wife did vids like this and I would laugh. After a month of depression, I needed something cardio, something to make me sweat. Seeing someone in recovery with a positive attitude and a plan was inspirational and motivating. I do one of these vids everyday and this Marine smiles when I throw a sweaty T-shirt in the hamper. Thanks and speedy recovery to all. Simper Fi.

[@thelabstudio1805]

Thank you SOOO much for this amazing compassionate chair cardio video! just out of foot surgery and seriously appreciate finding this🙏🏽🫀👣❤️

[@paulnam4488]

Thank you Caroline. In a few days I will have ankle surgery and I found your channel. Did the first three in a row, and my wife came in and did the third one with me. Thanks. Love the clapping thing in the 3rd video. Didn't see that one coming!

[@carlaladd1507]

Thanks so much Caroline for putting together these videos! I had lapiplasty surgery on my right foot and was itching to get back into physical activities a week later. I found your videos and workout to 4 of them. They have been key to getting me through this recovery mentally and physically! You are awesome!! 👍🤩👍❤

[@elisabetcarlson4882]

Thank you so much for your videos. You keep up a strong pace both physically and verbally which is great because it doesn't let the self pity tapes start playing. You are such a good teacher and have a great sense of humor. Bless you for what you are doing.. I feet motivated watching you. Thank you so much...

[@lynettejoubert6805]

Wow Caroline, I really appreciate you creating and posting this video on youtube - you are so incredibly motivating, positive and inspiring and the workout is great! Yes, I was sweating at the end! Thank you for accommodating people who cannot use traditional cardio exercises.

[@sylviahutchinson9312]

LOVE IT! Finally found a seated workout that gets my heart rate going and doesn’t ask me to stand up!

[@15Topsail]

Thank you for making this another great day with this workout. This is greatly helping me through my ankle injury recovery process.

[@melconti720]

I never comment on youtube videos but this was so amazing and helped me feel so much better physically and mentally after knee surgery. I can bend my knee now, but not put weight on it. This was wonderful! I have a foot surgery coming up in a few months and will be using this for sure! Thanks so much for helping me today!!!

[@EstherGSolis]

So happy I came across your chair cardio exercise. I was diagnosed with a vascular necrosis to my right ankle and I was so discouraged regarding getting the heart pumping. Knowing the my issue will not heal then I have to adapt a different way of living and exercising. Thank you for all you do to help others with your videos. Take care and stay safe.

[@CarolineJordan]

Here for you Esther

[@EstherGSolis]

Thank you again Caroline!!!

[@donnasawyer322]

I have been doing your exercises and have progressed well. Today I did this workout and did not have to stop to rest, I simply worked with you.

[@MaggieMayTreanor]

I do not comment on KZbin vids but honestly...this is awesome! I love it because there's no slacking. This is not easy at all.

[@Raji_gra]

You are saving my mental health ! with my ankle ligament tear. Thanks a ton! So Grateful for this.

[@stellajane6719]

Thanks for the cardio workout. My friend introduced it to me and it's something I needed! God bless you.

[@kathymolino3537]

Hi Caroline! I am recovering from a 5th metatarsal fracture and seriously believe I have kept my sanity by doing one of your workouts every day. Thank you so much! 😀

[@dianeduvall6372]

That was AWESOME!!! Had gotten myself into a bit of a funk about my foot. Thank God I got myself to my computer and did a Hurt Foot Video! There is no way not to feel better, physically and mentally. NO WAY! Thanks yet again, you really are a blessing.

[@lisabrown6677]

Hi Caroline, I just want to thank you for ALL of your hurt foot/ankle videos. I broke my fibula and ruptured numerous ankle ligaments just over three weeks ago and am so happy to be able to stay fit and strong while I'm recovering from surgery and am still even in a cast. I am so grateful. 🤗

[@kenyafreeman2712]

Thank you Caroline you are curing more fracture blues !

[@helencornish2821]

You are inspirational, these workouts keep my heart rate up and they are not boring.

[@TheLady20121]

Amazing workout .. you make me feel so good after these workouts .. my leg injury is not a hurdle anymore thanks to you 🙏🏻

[@nicoleduquette]

Thank god for Caroline! I just re-sprained my ankle after injuring it for the first time back in April. It's frustrating to be back here, but I didn't feel nearly the same amount of panic as the first time because I knew Caroline and her hurt ankle workouts were here to help me. Thank you so much for all the videos :)

[@katieattwell5995]

Thank you Caroline. I have had surgery on my big toe joint a week ago. As a BRCA survivor I need to exercise every day, and my mental health and mood both depend on it as well! I have now done three of your chair cardio workouts and I am so glad to have found them / you. Your positive, upbeat spirit makes me feel great. I think my family probably thank you as well! I am now able to feel good and keep up my exercise regime during my recovery.

[@carlom4633]

I injured my knee in the spring and after months of more or less sedentary living I came across your video a few weeks ago. Physio is good but cardio is the missing piece of the puzzle. Have so much more energy now physically and mentally. Bless you!

[@patriciaschwadron6977]

Thank you, Caroline. I'm feeling so much more positive about keeping fit while my foot heals!

[@CarolineJordan]

Wonderful!

[@sandrahargraves7902]

Thank You Caroline. You’ve helped to keep me positive on my foot journey from May 2019 to now following a plantar fascia tear that finally needed surgery in May 2021. I’ve lost count of the weeks/months in a boot followed by a regime of rehab exercises to plasma and cortisone injections. I’m still on the journey and see a little bit of light with your non weight bearing exercises ☀️ I’m still in rehab but hope I’m able to go for a walk by the end of 2021. Thank you for keeping me sane 😀

[@shellywilson7815]

I can't thank you enough for this! I just had my knee scoped and have been struggling finding cardio workouts! love love love this video!

[@ginap1892]

WOW - thank you Caroline! 62 year old runner here with a ruptured plantar fascia! I'm in a cast and had fallen into a self-pity slump - this workout rescued my spirit! Thank you again!

[@susanprescott7798]

Sending gratitude from the East Coast! Caroline, you are the best! Challenging and fun exercise while foot healing, who knew!?

[@katkran]

Just wonderful! Thank you for tholis video! It has kept me going....when I thought it was not possible....❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@CarolineJordan]

You can do it!

[@AnnaPisang]

Oh my god! I rarely ever comment on videos but man your workout really got me sweatin and going! After two weeks of not being able to move much with my ankle sprain, and with 2020 coming up really soon I was worried I wouldn't be able to celebrate the new decade with a body that feels fit and healthy. But you proved me wrong, and you helped me reach my 2019 goals! Not to mention your very positive and encouraging attitude, I literally smiled like an idiot the whole video. I really think you deserve many more followers. Thank you for this video!

[@njnccualumniassociation7711]

Yes, I got sweaty and my heart went up. Great routine. Thanks.

[@jane-clarelamb3338]

Caroline, you are AWESOME! Thank you for helping me everyday while i have a foot injury.

[@15Topsail]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU! I so needed this chair cardio workout!!!! Thank you for being ahead of the curve and putting this out there to help all of us losing hope with our slow-to-heal ankle injuries. You restored my hope, my stamina, and my drive to recover strongly! And wow, did I ever enjoy that sweat! Thank you, Caroline Jordan!

[@hannahmichie2295]

This was AMAZING!!! I have a long-term knee injury and now that swimming pools are closed, this was an absolute lifesaver 😊 thank you 🙏

[@ryannvoss9464]

This was a great workout, especially considering I was sitting the whole time! I fractured my ankle a week ago today, so I put a pillow under my foot to ease the tension of my injured foot hitting the floor.

[@proflzingaro]

Ryann- you and I are in the same boat! I just fractured my ankle too. I hope you feel better. I'm definitely going to take your suggestion about the pillow.

[@ryannvoss9464]

Lisa, I hope you feel better soon as well and have a speedy and successful healing process.

[@greta9558]

Thankyou for all your good work Caroline .This has raised my heart rate every day . I do my own weight and yoga afterward. Six weeks out from a foot fracture. So happy I found you. Your bright optimistic spirit is contageous. Xray tomorrow holding fingers !

[@ElisabethTsoukalos]

Thank you so much Caroline! I’m a dancer suffering from an excursion sprain on my right foot, and these cardio exercises saved my life and kept me in shape! ❤️

[@lacieandraschko2295]

OMG!! I LOVE your advanced workouts!! I would LOVE to get more of them!! I didn't think I could get a descent workout without jumping/running. I broke my foot just over 7 weeks ago and I just found out I have at least another 3 weeks. Your positive, upbeat attitude is just what I need to help me stay the same way while getting through this injury. PLEASE MORE ADVANCED WORKOUTS - they are AMAZING!!! :)

[@jannjigladi]

Thank you! Your video is just what I was looking for.

[@lanallama0327]

i've struggled with my mental health for years, and i found that working out has really helped me in coping with that. tho i recently injured my foot so i've been really limited in what exercise i can do, which has been difficult. these chair workouts are life savers, letting me feel challenged while respecting what my body needs. thank you so much :)

[@susanrobinson8989]

Great workout! Harder than you would think. I'm in a boot from a foot fracture and feel so sluggish from lack of cardio. She's very positive and encouraging. I think I'll be sore tomorrow in a GOOD way! Thank you, Caroline!

[@ItsRachel318]

I'm currently recovering from a stress fracture and was having a difficult time finding workouts to still help me stay active. I'm so happy I found your channel! Thank you!
