Seated Exercises for Abs, Legs, Arms | Full Length 20 Minute Chair Workout

[@76Christie]

This was perfect! It’s amazing to realize how you can get some great exercise in while seated at my desk!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ellacarteraernan]

This is quite the workout. It got my heart rate up in no time. It is perfect for people with injuries who can't handle more intense workouts. Thanks so much.

[@denisederkson9725]

Thanks Jessica. I'm working from home during COVID lockdown. I do your chair work outs on both my breaks and it helps get me through my stressful days.

[@sandymaier422]

Hi Jessica, I love your seated workouts. I wish there were more of them. I'm in a wheelchair. Thank you so much for all that you do.

[@nateshablanchard9519]

I injured my left knee and so I have begun doing chair workouts to help with strengthening my muscles and body. I yelled at Jessica the entire workout " I hate you, Jessica". But of course, that is because of how much muscles burned during the workout. I have been doing other workouts and forgot how much work Jessica works out my body. I did not miss this burn even though I know that it is good for me. Thanks Jessica for this workout. I appreciate it so much as I am recovering from knee injury.

[@robinthompson2488]

Again, Jessica, you get us moving no matter how we need to move! I absolutely love it! This is perfect for letting my ankle heal up and I'm so happy to find it!

[@mehrunramji]

Jessica I am so glad I came across your website. I am a senior lady who loves to exercise. I am so glad to find one of the best exercises for side crunches, arm and hips all this while sitting on a chair. Thank you so much truly blessed.

[@HA-kw7vq]

Fab - thank you Jess, doing this routine as much as I can. I vowed to do everyday until Christmas as my first goal back to exercise - stepping it up in 2020. If anyone wants to commit and join me with Jessica’s routine let me know with a thumbs up and a smile 😊

[@angieprandini3977]

Great for a morning when you aren't feeling great but still want to do something. Thanks for having awesome videos as always!! :)

[@josefinagarcia4843]

thanks

[@dianelirwin]

Jessica, What is surprise to find you this morning!! I am a veteran of your special K 10 minute workout program. I have a pelvic floor prolapse, so I have to find seated workouts. This one popped up today. I enjoyed seeing you again and working out with this routine. I emailed it to myself so I can do it at work. Looking forward to doing this, and exploring other workouts on your channel. ❤️

[@gulapfulful]

Solid,simple, clear instructions. And the intelligence to make mirror movements so it's easier to follow. THank you. there is a lot of rubbish around. Good to find somthing carefully considered with no pointless chatter, insteadind constant instruction.

[@Lyndylupin]

So glad these exercises are still here. Not done them for at least 2 years. Now trying to get fit again without standing for too long.

[@nordiskkatt]

Really great workout, thanks! Had some unusual exercises I haven't seen in other chair workouts, which hit areas I didn't know I had!

[@reginalittral2429]

Jessica you are such a blessing in my life! I just love the amazing workouts you have provided for us. Having rheumatoid arthritis for years had diminished my range of motion greatly. Foremost I give glory to God for bringing you to me. I now have better mobility than the last 20 years of my life. I love your a la carte variety of workouts. I often do the 30 minute low impact cardio with the 10 minute chair stretch. I will now add the seated 20 minute ab, leg, arm workout to my regime. Also the 40 minute seated cardio and strength is fabulous. Sorry this is so long, but just want you to know you are part of my answered prayers to help bless my condition. Keep being my fitness angel please. God bless you.

Great Instruction. Simple and effective moves! Look forward to the next workout ...

[@whaynnaaraujo6279]

Hi I watched & did your work out. I would like to say that I had a wonderful time doing the work out. Thank you & have a pleasant day.

[@ElaineA813]

Nice!!! Feels really good

[@SquiddyGoodness]

Hi Jessica, I have been enjoying your videos while I recover from an ankle injury! Thank you!

[@SoHipsta]

Great workout - I wasn't able to do them all due to a knee injury but could do most of them. Thank you so much Jessica - I used to work out 2+ hours 4 days a week then grad school happened and I haven't worked out since August since my work provided a lot of exercise. I have been feeling my body weakening the past month or so, this is great.

[@cottoncritter]

Thank you so much for this video! I am currently unemployed but often sit at a desk (at home) and work on art. I follow your videos as well as a few others to make sure I do all sorts of exercises each day. I feel more energized after doing even simple kinds of workouts!

[@dianewindsor8732]

Love this workout and I just love your puppy! (My puppy does the same thing!) Thank you!!

[@michellegriffen1]

Thanks, Jessica! I broke my ankle and leg riding my bicycle over Labor Day weekend. This video is perfect to help me get back into my workout routine! I really missed my JessicaSmithTV workouts. Feels great to be back.

[@Chanfb915]

This is a great workout. It is simple yet gets the blood and muscles flowing.

[@melissalayne5439]

Love having the option of a chair work out every once a while! Thank you Jessica!

[@debdeelie8241]

I'm broke my ankle and can't do standing work-out yet. This is a great alternative! Thank you for creating this!

[@ritagalas8517]

Jessica..This is a perfect workout for when my injuries just won't let me do what I need to do to keep myself moving,which has been happening a lot lately..So thanks for this..GO BODY GO!

[@Jessicasmithtv]

+Rita Galas Great! Now we have a good plan B :)

[@Mia7189]

Glad I found you, Jessica. Just started working out with this one this week. Loved it. Thank you.

[@francismunoz3201]

i loved this video! i am a wheelchair user and this exercises fit almost perfectly for me, specially for my core which is always been very weak . So thanks! you're awesome

[@Jessicasmithtv]

+francis muñoz So glad these exercises work for you! Thanks for moving with me :-)

[@joharryman1320]

Wow! You are a great instructor. I enjoyed this work so much.

[@Musicaldreams2]

love this i have ms and finding regular workouts exhaust me this was great i feel accomplished hope to find more.

[@robinlindblad8573]

I just tried this workout for the first time, almost by accident. I had just completed another one of your KZbin videos and this one started playing before I could stop casting to my TV. So, I tried it. I often use your videos with my Ladies' Bible Study group because we have a little workout session before each meeting, but several of the ladies have physical limitations which make it hard for them to do anything strenuous. As a result, we have fallen into a kind of rut where we are just doing stretching or yoga. While that's great, I would love to introduce something to help build them up, and this looks like the perfect solution. Hopefully, my internet connection will hold during our meeting tonight (it's kind of out in the country), and chair work will be our new thing. :) I'm surprisingly sweaty! Thanks, Jessica!

[@JenzJoe]

This music is really nice.... ! I'm doing this workout right now at my desk in the office.

[@lynneholden6216]

Thank you Jessica for what you do for all of us! :)

[@nohereyes]

This workout routine is amazing. It has helped a lot. I usually work out three times a week and the rest of the days my work schedule is different and I need to be in front of a computer with limited space and your routine is perfect for that. Thanks so much for sharing it.

[@kimberlyparra6820]

This is so great to add to my day! Easy abs, arms, and legs to do throughout the day!

[@dashiarahmaan8478]

Jessica thank you this was amazing! I find it hard to do some ab work do to an injury I suffered yrs ago, but this was so easy for me. Thanks again!

[@shannonhall8144]

This is 4 yrs later but I just stumbled onto your videos! You were ahead of the game on seated exercizing! I have gotten fit, strong, and lost weight using this video alone! I also use your chair yoga to stretch a few times a week! I'm so grateful for your video and this is truly a total body workout!

[@juliapalfrey]

brightened up my morning. nice workout

[@sweetness2153]

Thank you so much for this video. I'm suffering from a vestibular disorder and I am so happy I found this exercise. God bless you.

[@tehsexypants22]

Thank you so much! Did this on my lunch break at my desk. Nice break in the day :)

[@joanfude]

I was going to give this a miss but glad I didn't. This seated workout really made feel my shoulders and even butt and thighs. I found it much more effective than your earlier chair workouts. Because of the dips and hovers it wouldn't really be possible to do it on a stability ball. As someone who occasionally has ankles problems this would certainly be an option. Thanks Jessica.

[@Jessicasmithtv]

So glad you gave it a try Joan! Thanks for moving with me today 😃👍👍

[@annbohn9226]

I really enjoyed this workout yesterday evening & definitely felt it in every part of my body & definitely good when its that time of month too

[@artsyanne1192]

Jessica, thank you so much for creating chair workouts! I pulled a leg muscle and can’t do my typical standing workouts, but this workout really helps. Thanks again!

[@hopeandlove6465]

Jessica you are amazing!!!

[@kathydrumwright4896]

THIS was exactly the workout I was looking for! THANK YOU! : )

[@mattlesser7904]

Thank you so much for another seated workout! I'm recovering from surgery and it's all I can do for now. It would be wonderful if you could make more for variety and added motivation.

[@goocijaan6486]

Very very effective exercise, thank you so much 😊

[@ErinMcColeCupp]

Second time with a knee injury and using this workout-second time loving it! Thank you!

[@emeldaforeman1908]

love it! 1st.Day. You're great teacher

[@LordandLordettes]

Love this! I suffer with Fibromyalgia and M.E so this is perfect! Going to try and do it every day!

[@joanfude]

Jessica, i move with you every single day. You have transformed my whole life.

[@Jessicasmithtv]

+Joan Ude Joan, I'm honored to be your workout partner and friend. I love that we can workout together from across the globe! Keep up the great work you are doing taking care of your body and your health :)

There are several components to the best exercises for the elderly. One place I discovered that succeeds in merging these is the Seniorcises (google it if you're interested) without a doubt the best resource i've heard of. Check out all the extraordinary information .

[@gamecrusher2024]

I started today. 4/7/20

[@MissPrema1]

Thank you so much I feel so much better with this first exercise god bless I am so grateful to you

[@11Talltree]

Loved this work out. Excellent explanations and music fits perfectly 👍

[@viXlee88]

i did not think that just sitting and doing those would make me sweat but it did. thank you jessica.

[@Jessicasmithtv]

+Stevie Whydoyoucare Awesome! Thanks for trying it out :)

[@HA-kw7vq]

Loved that Jessy - God bless you 😊

[@debrisandco7779]

Thanks Jess for this great workout. I have Plantar Facilitis and sometimes can't walk. This workout really gets a sweat up with zero impact.

[@rinablecher59]

This was very effective. Just sitting on a chair can create great exercises. I was sweating at the end. Thanks Jessica for your great workouts.

[@Jessicasmithtv]

+Rina Blecher Love to hear that! Thanks for trying it out with me :)

[@caraj8949]

Did this for my second workout for the day. Just what was needed.

[@mariannehoffarth6709]

Great workout before work. Thank You Jessica and Peanut:)

[@jenniferpagan4900]

Thank you Jessica. I just worked out at my desk at work. :)

[@imaginnne13]

Thank you for this workout! I am doing a presentation at a women's retreat and this gave me some great ideas for a good chair workout for them all! God Bless!

[@mckenziecomerlover1]

this workout is amazing for my arthritis! i will do it those days i don't feel like doing anything and my joints hurt :) thanks jessica!

[@juliapalfrey]

Just fabulous Jessica especially when you are wah. Love seeing Peanut too :)

[@jamiaharris9936]

Thank you, Jessica. I needed to do some type of exercise today (Labor Day). I am a bit sore for doing some running exercises over the weekend. So, this was right up my alley. This was a workout for me more than I thought. I did sweat. Thanks so much Jessica, and thank Peanut also.

[@BeautyAndBrainsGirls]

Thank you so much!

[@melaniebowden4157]

I have a sprained ankle and this is a great workout while I'm recovering. Peanut is the cutest!

[@SJHimesWriter]

Thank you for this video!!

[@tinaporubsky]

Perfect for my routine. Thank you so much!

[@jennybugx]

Really enjoyed this! Tougher than I thought, but still gentle on my bad back :) Thank you!

[@tammyswankowski1135]

👍🏻 great! 💪🏻

[@annej5699]

Jessica, I have just discovered you the other day and I quite like your videos. Would you happen to have a variant of a seated workout for more confined spaces, such as economy seating on airlines?

[@JoanaRoz70]

Hi, Jessica! This is a great option for a toe injury. Thanks for your suggestion

[@HiKasandra]

This's a great ease back into exercise. Thank you ~~ Xxx

[@jlogue70]

HI Jessica, I just found your video's and I love them all! I really love the jams in the background. I would love to know who all of the artists are.. ;)

[@jlogue70]

Peanut is really cute too!

[@acupiano]

Jessica you know just how to help this injured dancer keep my mood and my body in good shape while I let my connective tissue heal!!

[@chawaleemaneechai2073]

Hi Jessica,.Thanks for your workouts.

[@karolinapavlu960]

woow, I have never thought that seated exercice can be so effective! Thnanks for this one Jessica! I also love your top! :-)

[@Jessicasmithtv]

+Karolina Pavlu Thanks a bunch - it's from Fila :) Glad you enjoyed the workout!

[@helengacio7843]

nice!

[@mumzee52]

I love you, Jessica Smith. You've probably saved my life. Thanks so much for your great vids

[@thelivelyskeletonvc]

Thanks Jessica! This is great! I tore the muscles in my rib cages (both sides) and tore the muscles in my shoulders, neck and arms ,😅 this was the perfect workout for me since I'm recovering from a few injuries ! I really missed working out with these videos and I missed seeing Peanut lol I have a toy poodle named Sydney and she 'helps' me workout too 😆

[@peeringthroughthelattice6567]

Struggling to get back into exercise with plantar fasciitis. I appreciated this workout since it didn't require 20 minutes of standing. Still a great burn. Thanks, Jessica!

[@WendywdjnyJ]

thanks what a great workout and love peanut :)

[@krysteeena77]

I'm 36 weeks pregnant with severe SPD and am not able to lift weights anymore or even stand for more than a few minutes so this workout is a life-saver! Wish I had found it earlier. I've been dying to do some sort of workout.

[@laurac5451]

First routine two weeks out from Achilles tendon surgery. Thanks!

[@jpkko412]

Thanks! The bending and stretching felt good and worked aome muscles that need attention. Upper back and tops of thighs really felt it and great glute work at the end. Did this on an exercise ball. Now I feel my posture is better too. Yay!

[@francinewilliams3609]

I thought this workout would not be challenging at all. However, I felt the resistance. Good workout especially for the injured or those whose current weight would not allow them to complete other cardio routines.

[@StupendousJia]

Your doggo is distracting but I’m not complaining 😍

[@suzazza]

thank you for your videos, there great. What exercise can be done for hips, thighs & buttocks for an older adult who is restricted to a chair.

[@butedmadovdon4506]

Hello Jessica! thank u for your video. how many times do this exercise?

[@zenarobinson3851]

I'm a cat person, so why am I falling in love with that little Peanut? Oh - and I do enjoy your exercises too!

[@MargaretHagar]

thumb up for this cute dog!

[@Jessicasmithtv]

+MargaretHagar LOL, thanks! She always steals the show ;-)

[@SoulShineLiveMichele]

I found this because I was looking for a way to strengthen my core/upper body without using my legs. I broke my knee back in November, had surgery in January. I was non-weight bearing for three months. I'm in physical therapy for my knee and decided it was a good idea to get the rest of me in shape. I had to modify a few but was able to do most.

[@ym6708]

Hi Jessica! Thank you for posting the video - I just saw it this morning on myfitnesspal -- and decided to give it a go - why not! I wonder how many calories get burnt doing this workout on an estimate? Would be great to have that information, to log it in :) Thank you!

[@Jessicasmithtv]

+Yulia Mayrink Hi! Thanks for giving it a try with us! Here's more info about why we don't offer calorie counts for our workouts: www.jessicasmithtv.com/why-you-should-forget-how-many-calories-your-workout-burns-and-focus-on-this-instead/ Hope that helps!

[@RetireAbroadInvesting]

Peanut!...SO CUTE!!! LOL!!

[@michelledg6364]

Thanks for this workout. This is my first time getting back into regular exercise after a bout of depression. However, there are a couple things I can't do that might be related to my size - such as pressing my elbows together. They um... don't fit around my boobs. :P Also, the first stage of that off-the-chair tricep exercise is hard for those whose hips come right to the edge of the chair. The second and third stages were much easier. Just FYI. Thanks again - I feel great!

[@karinaemfitness]

Thank you! I stole so many moves for a client who hates getting up-even though she can!
