30-Minute Chair Workout (For Bad or Injured Knees)

[@claireclayton5108]

I’m 2 weeks post ACL reconstruction….just want to say a HUGE thank you! I’m normally very active so the op has set me back mentally as well as physically - this has really given me so much joy and helped my mindset. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Hope you’re all recovered now and done that run!! Xx

[@nourishmovelove]

So sorry to hear about your ACL surgery, I hope you are doing okay! Here are all the knee friendly workouts to try (I did them during my recovery) -- www.nourishmovelove.com/leg-knee-injury-workouts/ Hang in there! It will get better!

[@djeden80]

Your comment made me smile and feel a little better…. Just had full meniscus repair surgery yesterday and already was feeling discouraged. I’d been in a groove with workouts and weight loss and the downtime with this recovery is kinda terrifying. The plan is to keep moving as much as possible but it’s just not the same with no lower body workouts. :/ Anyway, it’s been a bit since your comment. I hope things went well with your recovery and you’re back to killin it.👊🏼

[@SuperParatech]

@claireclayton5108 - I am a little jealous about your reconstruction.. I tore ACL, PFL, MCL and dislocated patella. The PFL and MCL were repaired and I am 5 days post stitches removal. ACL surgeon said he will not touch but told me I can twist in future without damaging the knee again. I’m nervous about further injury. Just about to start rehabilitating myself and looking for options that I can use. Hope you’re nearly fully recovered now

[@DeathByBlonde1]

I’m two weeks post full ACL replacement and meniscus repair. During surgery they found fractures in my femur and had to drill holes to help rebuild and repair. I am now non weight bearing on my left leg for 6 weeks and the weight has been packing on due to inactivity. Some of the exercises I’m unable to do based on putting pressure on the left leg, but the leg lifts are something I really excel at. Thank you for this!!!

[@liamisaac1152]

You have no idea how happy I am to find workouts for those of us who aren’t is mobile. I tore my ACL in a scooter accident, as well as tore my meniscus and currently waiting to for surgery. I haven’t been active in almost 2 months and there’s definitely been some weight gain so I really really needed this! Thank you

[@candicegerber8427]

Honestly, I rarely comment on videos but I just wanted to say thank you so much! After having both ankles reconstructed a few years ago and taking so long to relearn how to walk and run, it really annoys me when I have to take 2 or 3 weeks off my running schedule to rest my ankles when they undergo normal wear and tear from everyday use. It used to make me really despondent and frustrated to feel trapped and unable to move while resting - your seated workouts really help me to overcome that stupid sense of failure I feel when resting my ankles!

[@nourishmovelove]

So glad you found your way to NML and have been loving the chair workouts as you rest your ankles! I hope you are doing okay and having a speedy recovery! Don't feel like a failure because it is so important to listen to your body! Bookmark this page here to reference more chair workouts -- www.nourishmovelove.com/chair-workouts/

I stumbled upon your workout today. I exercise daily, but about two weeks ago. I very badly sprained my ankle and have been searching for challenging seated workouts. Yours fit the Bill 1000%. I can’t wait until I’m standing again and can work out with both feet on the ground to try your other workouts

[@nourishmovelove]

So glad you found your way to NML!! Keep up the great work!!

[@natalierearick9242]

I'm in the absolutely devastated phase of my injury. While I'm not thankful you tore your meniscus, I'm so thankful that when I tore my calf muscle yesterday, I knew where to go for a good workout that would be safe. I wish I were running with my friends right now like I had planned, but I'm grateful for you and the workouts you provide for every phase of life. They help me stay sane. Thank you.

I joined team NML as soon as membership option was offered. Needed to drop when I developed SI joint issues. that was healing and than I fractured my ankle. Geez it has been a rough fall. Now non weight bearing for 6 weeks. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this chair workout. It is helping keep me (and my husband) sane. Big hugs even though i dont know you!!!

Hello! I am Linda. I tore my ACL and partially tore my MCL. I am going into week 3 of wearing a brace to promote some healing in my knee. I also partially tore my meniscus and sprained my LCL. Yes, my knee is a mess:) . Because I am 61 they aren't encouraging surgery, although I do have an appointment with a surgeon the end of April. I have used 2 of your workouts now to help keep the rest of my body strong. I did go through wow, to denial, to sad. But I am trusting God through this all, and I believe with hard work I can get back to my very active life. I love to hike and exercise. I also have 6 wonderful active grandkids:) Thank you so much for all you do!!! I had done some of your other workouts before my injury, and love your encouragement and the wide range of workouts you have:)

I’m one month and a week post an anterior cruciate ligament plus meniscus surgery, and I’ve been doing these seated workouts plus physiotherapy for about three weeks and my recovery has been really fast, both my traumatologist, and my physiotherapist are surprised on how quick I’m recovering. I used to be very thin but my motivation for exercising has been really low, and I’ve gained a lot of weight. I’ve had this knee injury for three years until surgery had to be done. I’m so glad I found your seated workouts, they’re quite challenging and that’s what I was looking for. It’s gonna take some time to undo the damage of not exercising properly for three years, but I think I’m on the right path. Today I’m asking my physiotherapist if I’m clear with low impact cardio. I’m extremely motivated and I know that I’ll reach my fitness goal.

Hi! I'm SO happy I found this video. I 'only' 52 and have mega back and hip issues (degenerative disc disease, bulging disc, scoliosis, iliac sclerosis), so I wanted to do all I could to get extra weight off and help myself in this journey. I had been doing lumbar PT for 3 months, started a weight loss journey where I was kicking BUTT (30 pounds down)... and then severely sprained my ankle. High sprain, low sprain, and deltoid sprain with partial tear. I am immobile in a boot and I LOVE this video! I do have to be careful with bending/twisting because of my back, but I engage my core and don't bend all the way forward, don't pull my legs up too high, and this workout has been helping me stay on track. To say this has all affected me mentally as well is an understatement. I'm happy I found something I can do, I'm loving seated workouts right now, and this is my favorite. Can't wait join you in your standing workouts! Thanks for your help. :)

Hi! I enjoyed the workout! I am here because I have arthritis in the knees. I stopped working out for awhile due to the knees, and simply not setting my workouts at a higher level of priority. With your workouts, I am able to get a full-body strength and cardio workout without causing pain and injury to my knees. Thank you!

I'm so glad you posted this and your other seated workout! Super great for those with knee injuries and also people with "hot" nerves like me... I get flare ups in the nerves of my legs/feet, making them numb or susceptible to nerve pain if I put any pressure on them. I felt so down not being able to get out or get my heart rate up but this made me feel so invigorated! At some point I had 140 BPM and I was like WOW! You really put a lot of power into this seated workout, loved it. :)

I was doing this workout injury free, thank God! But I'm still sore from one of your Live's I did on Saturday so this was a nice low impact workout I could modify to make a little harder. You are awesome for not letting your knee bring you down :)

[@nourishmovelove]

So glad you found your way to this workout!! You are so awesome!!

[@FishGoatGirl]

I broke two bones in my ankle in 2018. I discovered KZbin chair workouts during my recovery. Unfortunately, due to the fact that there is still a bone chip floating around in my ankle it periodically swells up and gets quite irritated. During those times I go back to chair or lower impact workouts. Serendipitously, you all released this workout during a flare up and my ankle is swollen and painful once again. I’ve done both of your recent chair workouts-thank you for the variety!

[@nourishmovelove]

This. Was. INCREDIBLE! I'm at the "pity party" stage after being a VERY active granny *and* it's my spring break *and* I'm 1.5 weeks out of surgery for many things in the knee. I have a VERY active history, and inside kickboxing workouts are probably what led to the stress fracture + torn meniscus, so while I was waiting for diagnosis I stumbled on to my first NML workouts and was trying SO hard to complete the 2 week 20 minute per day series....and loving every minute! But then, work, MRI, surgery, blah blah blah...which led me to the pity party of the last few days. Today was literally a game changer for me. THANK YOU from the bottom of my aching arms!! NML is THE best find for me ever!!!!!
