Chair Cardio Workout for Seniors & Beginners // 30 minute Easy Exercises At Home

[@lorijacobsen807]

Great workout for me! Hoping you will help in getting my strength back.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Yay Lori! I'm so glad this workout is great for you! start slow so you don't over do it. make sure to try the seated workouts too for some variety!

[@saria13x]

I had hit 300 lbs a few months ago- I am 25 and I have heart issues. I used to run when I was in highschool but I stopped because I started working. I have been wanting to get back into exercising, but I worry about my heart constantly. Recently, I heard about chair cardio, and finally had the inspiration to start. I get a work out and my heart can handle it, which makes me so happy. Thank you for taking the time to make this easy to follow video for everyone to enjoy.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You are most welcome Amanda! I'm proud of you for getting back into exercising , getting started is the hardest part! Here is the link to all my chair workouts. There are many more seated cardio workouts: kzbin.info/aero/PLdAl5SsVkdocMLUUPFfqXXUzQ57U1Jp7y

Thank you so much! I have another seated Pilates coming soon!

[@lindaperry4070]

As a person who has exercised since age 30 never thought at now age 67 would be doing chair exercise’s. I LOVE them and feel like they have absolutely helped. I have firmed up look better and feel amazing. Thank you!

Wonderful! Good for you Linda! I'm so glad you love my chair workouts and that you are seeing results! Keep up the awesome work :)

Same issue here, but with my right knee. :-)

Only found this yesterday when looking for seated workout due to other knee issues - great one to lift the spirits when unable to do standing exercise, good mix of cardio and strength! It makes me so happy that I can still workout with you when seated! Thank you Lauren xx

I go back and forth from this video to the standing workouts. I have noticed my core getting stronger in a little over a months time of doing any one of your workouts every morning!

Love your channel. If you’re looking for suggestions, I would love a travel workout with band and maybe sliders or paper plates for feet. It’s hard to find weight when you’re traveling, and I don’t want to do the routine in the hotel gym. Also, it would be really cool if you numbered each work out. I have my favorites for when I’m having a strong day, and my favorites for when I’m having a relaxing day, but they’re hard to find because the names of the videos are necessarily all so similar. Please know that your efforts are very, very, very much appreciated.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

thanks for your feedback :) I've also had the idea of a travel workout for a while now, I need to put it on my list! As far as numbering the workouts go, did you know that you can create your own playlists? You can order the videos in your own library so they are really easy to find :) Hope that helps!

You can't target the sciatica to strengthen it. You can target the glutes around it. To stretch around the sciatica I would suggest pilates. It sounds as though she may have weak hips/glutes.
