Chair Exercise For Low Back Pain

[@MM-cv3fd]

This is one of the very best chair exercises ! I have been doing this routine for few years now, and older I get, more and more I appreciate this wonderful routine. It helps me to maintain the all body mobility and my back does not give me trouble! Cindy, it is so easy to follow your calming instructions and, thank you for your encouragements ! It is an amazing video and a wonderful set of exercises. Thank you so much for creating and posting it !

[@lornahart9774]

I am on week two of this routine every day and can feel measurable effects. My back aches less, my posture is better and I feel more energised. Really good for the elderly (which I am).

[@LauraKindseth]

Hi Cindy! These exercises are the best I've found to decrease lower back pain and general stretching. I appreciate your understanding of how a 79 year old body might feel. Thank you! Laura, Manitou Springs CO

[@FitnessWithCindy]

So glad the exercises are working! Thanks for taking the time to let me know. Good for you being proactive.

[@camillehanna4973]

I feel so much better. I am 84 years old.

[@dianesawatzky1859]

Got another day in! Of all the classes done in early years, your's are helpful and easy! I'm 72 years old

[@benzpobox]

Your video is one of the BEST chair exercises I have seen with your clear instructions.

[@FitnessWithCindy]

Wow, thank you! Hope it helped. Thanks for taking the time to let me know.

[@bonniejalsevac7946]

2024 and I appreciate this series of exercises…I slowed the tempo and will do this morning and night…really really helpful and thorough. Thank you! 75 and some new back and hip issues.

[@FitnessWithCindy]

Good to hear it helps. Thank you for taking the time to let me know. Good for you being proactive!

[@pgerardsmith]

Hello Cindy. I've been doing these exercises for couple of weeks. The first chair yoga I've done and they are helping a lot. I like the no nonsense approach. I hope to memorize the moves so I can increase them later. Take care.

[@FitnessWithCindy]

Thanks for sharing!! Good for you being proactive to stay healthy and strong.

[@hollyjewell9081]

Oh my goodness! I was beginning to think I would just have to put up with pain in my lower back and left hip when I saw your video and decided to try it. I just finished my first time through “Chair exercise for low back pain” and I definitely feel some relief in my back and hip. I knew I needed to stretch, but I’m 64 y.o. and everything I found kept wanting me laying on the ground, which I can’t really do. Thank you for these stretches. They helped. I’ll be back tomorrow for more.

[@carlawist5555]

Loved your first chair stretching I did and now I have discovered this one……you are a wonderful guide thru these exercises. My back feels so much better after the 55 minute walk I just concluded. Will also adopt this routine prior to walks.

[@madalenabrazao5752]

I love thses exercises. Nothing that I have done before has helped my back pain until I found you. Thank you so much.

[@conniewilliams3040]

I use this myself and recommend this video to everyone I know who has back issues. This is a lovely set of movements and stretches. Thank you for producing it for us.

[@charliegowing9471]

Love the variety of moves. This session helps my back for sure. Thanks again from Charlie in Syracuse New York.

[@charliegowing9471]

Washing pots & pans at the local soup kitchen tightens everything up. This is one of my favorite stretches by you. Thanks from Charlie in Syracuse New York.

[@FitnessWithCindy]

You're so welcome! Glad you are still dedicated to stretching.

[@rosemaryforbesbutler683]

Having followed several different exercise videos over the last couple of weeks - all of which have helped - your series of exercises I shall be repeating for the next 2 weeks before I move onto more of your videos. Why? Your way of explaining is positive and you waste no time, respecting the viewer/client/student's sensibility and intelligence! Thank you and I wish you a very good day too!

[@FitnessWithCindy]

Thank you for your kind words. Glad you are enjoying the videos. I appreciate you taking the time to let me know. Continue your dedication to being healthy.

[@barrysteben4430]

Cindy: This is a wonderful set of stretching exercises which includes several exercises that are hard to find in other instructors' routines. However, your speed is too fast throughout, so that the practitioner usually has insufficient time to finish or go sufficiently through the exercise at hand. If you added 5 or 10 minutes to the whole routine it would be much better. Barry, 73.

[@jl8452]

Yes! I think these exercises are great! I’m going to look into whether you can slow a KZbin video down.

[@jl8452]

Yes. I am able to slow down the video. 😀

[@MariMercheable]

@@jl8452, I am interested in how to slow speed down on video. How is it done? Thank you 😊

[@susanmiles5895]

I just did the very beginning and I already feel good. I got a concussion on a Wednesday and the following Wednesday I received another one and had my lower back and my whole body messed up in a car accident. I have been dealing with this for 9 years and then I got plantar fasciitis. So I am a mess. I’m 53 and can only be on my feet so long before I have to sit so my lower back can calm down. Thank you for this.

[@binnjh9778]

Omg..im glad I found you..ty ty ty..really ty

[@FitnessWithCindy]

You are welcome! Yes, so glad you found us and choose to be active.

[@kathyflick6941]

Good morning I have been doing these exercises for a few weeks. I can finally sleep at night without being awakened by back and hip pain Thank you for this video

[@FitnessWithCindy]

Wonderful! Thank you for taking the time to let me know. And good for you being proactive.

[@williamwho1]

Thank you Cindy, At 77, only once a year doctor to prove I am ok to drive and on no medication, then 2 weeks ago lower back pain and at my wits end then I came across you and WOW! I am doing this for the first time and no pain.. gone! Will keep following you .. Thanks Cindy .... THANKS

[@rehanamalik4724]

Thank you very much I will do every day from now. I have slip disk at l4 and l5

[@loiscampbell1557]

So glad I found you! I'm 71 and my knees don't get me to the ground lol. I have suffered with LBP for years! I am overweight and only 4'11", so I'm sure that is a lot of the problem. I need to strengthen lower back muscles...as that helped before the pandemic..I belonged to a gym then The gym closed, and little by little the back pain has returned. big time. I cannot even walk a half block without pain. It's so depressing because there are so many things I would like to do, but just can't. Of course, low motivation doesn't help! Thank you for your videos, I saw several good exercises I am able to do!

[@FitnessWithCindy]

Lois, Don't give up! Progress Is slower as we age as I am discovering with my rehab. But with baby steps and consistency, you should start to see improvement after a couple of weeks. Just keep thinking of all those things you would like to do and KEEP GOING! You can do it! Keep me posted.

[@bobbiemiller5588]

I do this exercise as often as I can. My all time favorite 🤗Cindy, you and your family are in my prayers 🙏 every time I do it. Keep healing from your recent surgery 🤗💝

[@FitnessWithCindy]

Thank you so much for the well wishes and . Glad you are staying active to remain healthy and strong!🥰

[@liskl5982]

My favorite of all the videos online. I do this at least once a week!

[@alicepettit164]

Strained my lower back and was lying down for relief and had to start some movement. This is very helpful. Greatest relief was using counter and arm support to begin stretching back which couldn't til then. Only request is to add in some mellow instrumental music, but I did that with my phone. Thanks Cindy finally begnning to break pain cycle.

[@grahambreckell5958]

Hi Cindy. I have severe lower back pain. Your chair exercise for lower back every day helps immensely. I am not sure which one helps the most, however after completion I have less pain, not perfect but enough to help. This is my 'go-to' every morning, Thank you.

[@FitnessWithCindy]

Thank you for taking the time to let me know. Hope you can continue to have less pain.

[@maryannjenkins2343]

Cindy, just finished this and I love it. I have several back issues and some exercises make it worse but not this one. My back is feeling great. Thank you. I have put it on my save list.

[@nirateller5603]

Cindy, thank you for these pain relief exercises. They are very helpful for me. I look forward for more.

[@charliegowing9471]

This pandemic made me a slouch potato & naturally gained weight. Recently I had back pain after doing a low impact exercise. Mistake. I should have started doing YOUR stretching exercises FIRST. THANK YOU for doing this! Felt better. I’ll continue doing & check out your other videos.

[@lynnkandola6220]

I am so Happy I found you. I went to physio and chiropractor ended up with further back pain, but Cindy’s Workout is the only one that gives me relief and in fact I feel it is helping me heal. I Do morning and night, sometimes only the first chair part. When I do first part before bed I wake up with no pain - that’s so amazing-. I would like more chair exercises. Thank you soo much Cindy for giving me mobility. You are a lifesaver❤️🙏

[@emilycuneo42]

I'm pretty young, but I'm recovering from a lower back injury, and this felt like exactly what I've been looking for to loosen and stretch all the muscles that have gotten so tight from not moving properly without aggravating the injury. Thank you very much!

[@FitnessWithCindy]

Glad to hear they were helpful stretches. Keep me posted on your healing success.

[@BetteRichard-x6m]

This was great. I also have scoliosis so all gentle back and hip exercises are needed. Thanks.

[@FitnessWithCindy]

Good for you searching for ways to ease that pain. Hopefully as you continue, the pain will go away. Keep me posted. Thank you for watching!

[@trudywilson3425]

Cindy I am so glad I found your back pain regime. I live in Ireland and it’s very damp. I have had back pain for a year and tried everything from acupuncture to physio etc etc. I have been doing your exercises for 10 days and already feel so much better. I look forward to them I think that is the first time I have looked forward to an exercise. I can feel it doing me good I love the fact the exercises are so varied and you don’t have a repetition of 10 times in order for it to be successful. Thank you so much from the bottom of my back!

[@timothystevens1924]

Thank-you for these exercises. I had acute pain in m back and was very stiff and could not bend. The slightest bump in the car gave much pain in my back, The first day I found relief. The car pumps do not bring on extreme pain The exercises made my right hip sore which was probably the reason for back pain I do appreciate your exercises and that is why I am thanking you.

[@FitnessWithCindy]

You are very welcome. How are you doing this week?

[@timothystevens1924]

@@FitnessWithCindy Thank-you . It is nice of you to ask. I am very good this week . I did have a recurrence of pain when I got out of bed too fast but that is OK now . In that I can sit without pain is the biggest success test that exercises have helped . My friend gave me a Dr, Scholl's vibrating pad that probably gets blood flowing. And my daughter gave me some CHC cream that I only used twice. I also resumed walking that I do every day . The full circuit is around 2.5 miles if I do the whole trail. I am very happy that there has been an improvement over very painful episodes. .I also pray as a habit as I have been healed so many times and do thank God as I felt prompted to do some exercises.. I am 84.
