Chair Exercise For Low Back Pain

[@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.

[@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.

[@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).

[@madalenabrazao5752]

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

[@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.

[@charliegowing9471]

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

[@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.

[@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 😊

[@dianesawatzky1859]

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

[@nirateller5603]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@bwelb7567]

This is a wonderful find!! Thank you Cindy, excellent set of exercises for back pain.

[@FitnessWithCindy]

Good to hear! Thanks for taking the time to let me know. And good for you being proactive!

[@charliegowing9471]

Thanks Cindy. Always a worthwhile session.

[@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!

[@Mary-yd4hl]

Thanks, Cindy! This has helped so much.

[@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

[@casandragaddy6410]

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY GREAT ! THANK YOU

[@darcyemorawski4751]

Thousand of thanks! This is just what I need.

[@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.

[@charliegowing9471]

Thank you so much. Fell off my bicycle awhile back and have been looking for lower back stretch. Thanks again, Charlie in Syracuse NY.

[@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.

[@bobbiemiller5588]

I do the other Cindy videos but this is my all time favorite 🤗Perfect for my 70's frame.

I’m so glad I found you on KZbin! Your gentle movement videos are just my speed. I have herniated discs in my back, spinal stenosis with severe claudication and MS so moving is difficult but your videos really help!

[@FitnessWithCindy]

I'm so glad they help! Be sure you are following your doctors recommendations to avoid any moves that cause pain or might aggravate your back. I love your determination to feel better. And thank you for watching!

[@bobbiemiller5588]

[@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.

[@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.

[@charliegowing9471]

Great stretch session. Thank you.

[@FitnessWithCindy]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for letting me know. Continue your dedication to feeling good!

[@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.

[@CCZTrading1]

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.

Is there another one of your exercise videos that would help as well for lower back ? I am 75 years old and a little over weight so easy would be good .thanks V

[@FitnessWithCindy]

Vikki, we all have our challenges! I am cleaning up old and i do mean old comments which have been delayed due to my struggles recuperating from hip surgery. Nonetheless, have you tried this one www.fitnesswithcindy.com/back-pain-stretches-for-seniors/ and let me know when you get time how you are doing!

[@marilyndejaynes9148]

Thank you. This seemed to help. Still a little stiff but I feel oxygenated…. Some were a bit difficult to do, only because I’m 9 weeks post op from a knee replacement…. The discomfort started at 7 weeks.

[@FitnessWithCindy]

Good for you being active. Listen to your body and just don't overdo it. If the discomfort continues, please check in with your Dr. Like your dedication!

[@Zinnia2023]
