Chair Cardio Workout for Seniors // Strength & Stretch with (optional) mini ball

[@lashebawinston4906]

Lauren, I really thought ball chair cardio would be easy, but you happily proved me wrong. Thank you so much for this chair routine.❤❤❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're so welcome! Glad you got a good workout 🤩🙌🏻

[@lashebawinston4906]

This reply was meant for your other ball routine, I'm doing this one Wednesday, and I know it's gonna be a blast!!! I can hardly wait!!!😄😉❤️

[@lashebawinston4906]

Just finished this one, and love it as well!!! Tysm for these workouts. You are the best.😉

[@mimi5421]

Anther good one. Thanks for the great workouts.

[@magicoffee1680]

This chair ball workout is just as awesome as the standing one, thoroughly enjoyed it !!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Fantastic! Thank you Margaret :)

[@gloriabenson4482]

You are a Godsend. This workout was awesome. I've been wearing a boot on my foot off and on for almost a year; I've had 3 cortisone shots, went to PT, seeing an acupuncturist; so my workouts are very very limited. All of your chair seated workouts are awesome. Thank you for what you do.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thank you Gloria, I'm so happy the workouts are helpful to you :)

[@susalu100]

Excellent! I loved to have the opportunity to use my ball!! Interesting and the final stretching was sooo welcomed!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tmluvsdogs]

Going through a bad flare of hip bursitis. Thank you so much for your chair workouts! Makes me feel so much better than doing nothing and quickly getting out of shape.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're so welcome! I'm glad it's helpful Tina. Thank you very much for your contribution, it is much appreciated !!! I hope your hip clears up soon :)

[@Carnelian21]

You are so creative. This was so fun! Who knew I could sweat while sitting on my bum?

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks Danielle! so glad you got a good workout :)

[@liztownsend2026]

Another great all body workout perfect for someone recovering from minor knee surgery - a definite case of less is more! Thank you! Xx

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks so much Liz! I wish you a speedy recovery :)

I love the ball workouts. Chair exercise is just my speed right now. I appreciate how gentle and kind you are.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Perfect! So glad you are enjoying the chair workouts :)

Thanks!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you supporting my channel :)

[@a4dd4a]

Not a senior yet, but man these workouts are great for getting the body moving with a weak ankle. I'm hoping these seated workouts build up strength in my leg muscles and ankle to better support me for the standing workouts. Thank you!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're most welcome! I'm so glad you are enjoying my workouts, keep up the good work!

[@jeanrothman8516]

I love all of your chair workouts!!!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thank you Jean 🤩

[@katerinapapadopoulou3219]

This workout is all I needed as I'm just recovering from covid and feel so weak ...thank you once more!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're so welcome! I wish you a speedy recovery!

[@maryhanford864]

Great workout! I love using a variety of equipment instead of just weights! Thank you!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks Mary, so glad you liked it!

[@cherevanni8266]

I could not believe how much this ball work worked on every part of my body. This felt marvelous. Thank you for providing a large volume of various workouts.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

My pleasure Chere! So glad you got a good workout :)

[@bonniesnowqueen7321]

I love your mini-ball worksouts and I don't fool myself into thinking that your chair worksouts are easy! Thank you for all you do!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

My pleasure Bonnie. So happy you like this new workout! 💜

[@cathysanford8051]

Loved the mini ball abd the associated exercises.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

I think the ball is so much fun too :)

[@rosealenius-spencer4823]

Simply the best, Lauren…..every muscle got worked in such a gentle way. The stretching was rewarding. Great workout to do when energy levels are lower than normal! Thank you again!❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're so welcome! Glad you found and enjoyed this older workout Rose :)

[@maureenwilson7178]

Perfect after a stressful day 😊 I feel very relaxed loose. Thank you.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks for trying this one! I hope your foot feels better soon 😀

[@leilanimccloskey3463]

Thank you so much for these chair workouts! My doctor told me I need to lay off my normal cardio workouts on my feet while I’m in the acute stage of plantar fasciitis. So grateful you are helping me to keep moving, and I look forward to getting back to your other workouts. ❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're so welcome! I'm glad they are helpful Leilani :)

[@schmidthans6935]

Another wonderful workout! I have to be off my feet to heal a foot injury and there was some amazing leg work here! I used a 5 pound weight for a lot of the arm work which felt great. Thank you, Lauren! ❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wow! Great job Mary :)

[@rhondagallone5908]

this was so much fun AND I got a good sweat!! love your classes xo

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

So glad! I like this video too Rhonda :)

[@lauraschmuck5565]

Another great chair ball workout! I suffer with chronic sciatica and this doesn't make things worse. I am hoping with the strengthening part it will help my sciatica and hip and leg pain.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful! I’m so happy to hear this Laura. Keep doing the figure 4 stretch for your sciatica! 💜

[@karynmartin]

Sensational. I have an angry meniscus on the inside of my right knee at the moment. I have been doing your exercises for knee pain. I thought I would give this a go for my cardio. Fantastic. Thank you so much for your care and help. I love your workouts.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful! Thanks for working out with me, I’m thrilled you’re enjoying my workouts 🤩

[@stacischeetz7597]

My foot was really bothering me today; I was so glad to have this option! In a chair, but very challenging! Thank you for providing so many options!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

My pleasure Staci 😍

[@SoozWeissbergsartspace]

Oh, wow!!! I really, really loved the movements. This was a perfect length of time, too. Absolutely the most enjoyable sitting workout I've ever done. I do this when my knees are having a bad day, and it was so perfect. Love, love, love.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks Sooz! The ball makes it fun, right?!?! so glad you loved it!

[@SoozWeissbergsartspace]

@@SeniorShapeFitness Yes, I have a "miniature basketball" meant for toddlers. :D The moves you demo are fresh, fun and effective!

Fun start to my week. Now on to wrapping. 🎄🎁🎄

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Yay! And I know that you have ball to work with!!! I hear you on the wrapping. Not sure I'll ever be done...Merry Christmas Jacqueline!

[@jacquelinea8224]

Yep, the ball was my bday present. One of my favorite gifts! We are on the same Christmas page...now I'm stringing popcorn and cranberries. Simple pleasures.

[@EOS-zx3cq]

wow!! That was grrreat!! WILL do this one again!! TH💜NK you❣ These moves were so beneficial for troublesome/painful lower body knees but I was able to do them all gently & normally. 😃 Thank you for sharing your God gifts!!

You're so welcome! Glad you found this older workout :)

[@noriko-daijobumethod]

Thank you this was another great workout for when my hip joints hurt and I'm not in mood for a hard workout! The hardest hurdle is to overcome that first move in a workout but this one is so easy and relaxing, I don't need to push myself.. Thank you as always!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Glad to hear that :)

Thank you! I feel like there is such a huge void for workouts for those differently abled. When I find great ones, like yours, I feel like shouting it from the rooftops!! Thank you for thinking of folks like me.

Hi Lauren, Noela here - what a top workout! - my arms are on fire! :)...I use your workouts for my end of day routine; even though this was a cardio/strength routine, I still feel rather "zen" at the end of it - stretched, worked but very relaxed :). Thanks again for providing such do-able workouts. Getting late now where I am in the world, so time I take my relaxed self to bed. Looking forward to working out with you again!

Random idea, but KNIT FIT. What about a class that could either be done while knitting (eg. Focusing on the legs) or one especially for knitters who lean over a bit and tilt their neck forward, hands and arms in a constant position and don't move their lower body much. Something to help knitters feel stretched and refreshed. Knit Fit - you know you want to.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Ha! I love it Bethanie ;)

[@taratalwar1705]

What size ball, weight .love all your work out

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks Tara! The ball that I'm using in around 9 inches. Smaller works well too. There is no weight to it. It's just air. For this workout and the pilates workouts I do using the mini ball, you need to be able to grab/squish it with one hand.

[@cherylcosgrove511]

Who’s using their dogs ball right now? I am 😂😂

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

I love it Cheryl! Whatever works! I should have said that as an option 😄

[@brendarichardson14]

Great workout. Any idea how many calories you burn for this workout?

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks! I usually don’t put calories burned because it is so variable. If you google “ calorie calculator” you can put it your individual stats and the type of workout and it will give you an estimate.
