Senior & Beginner Workout - Easy and Fun Chair Cardio with Ball

[@janetj.1253]

Excellent workout, really like using the ball, adds a different way of doing chair cardio, thank you so much and keep them coming.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're welcome Janet! I love using the ball too. Thanks for the positive feedback and thanks you for working out with me!

[@joannekempf3350]

Well then - I remember doing this video in early 2021 when I first found your channel. I never did it again because I couldn’t do a lot of the lower body moves - lifting the knees, sit to stand - just too difficult. But yesterday someone on the FB group posted that they had done this one, so I decided to queue it up for today. Well, geez, I’m lifting my knees, sit-standing, and everything else! Just goes to show how far I’ve come!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

That's awesome Joanne! I'm so proud of you!

[@stacischeetz7597]

I LOVED this one! Who knew that sitting in a chair and using a ball could be so empowering? You did!!! Thank you for teaching us!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

My pleasure Staci! I think using the ball is so much fun too 🤩

[@loonielaura]

Lauren, I am so glad I found this in your seated workouts. I am still rehabbing my knee and this was such a great workout that did make me feel wonderful. The ball was perfect to use as a different way to work the muscles and core. Thank you.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

So glad! Thanks for trying this older video Laura :)

[@stacischeetz7597]

I LOVE this video!! Cardio in a chair is amazing on it's own-- using the ball to work and stretch muscles and joints takes this over the top!! Thank you!!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Yay! So glad you had fun with the video Staci :)

[@sharonpetraska1206]

❤ Awesome exercise I bought a exercise ball and it really helps with all the exercises thank you very much

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it Sharon :)

[@carolshenkenberg9669]

Exercising with Lauren especially with the ball is my favorite. I am feeling so much more flexible since joining her.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful! I Love to hear that Carol. Good job working on your flexibility and thanks for working out with me!

[@vassopritsouli3848]

[@mariofonseca]

Lauren I loved this routine to start the week. I really enjoy your excellent work and I can't imagine a day without her routine. I have created the habit of exercising with you and it would only be in the event of force majeure that I would fail. Thank you very much, happy week, a hug

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You are so kind! Thank you Mario, I hope you have a happy week as well :)

[@cherylemesolella757]

I love all your chair classes. This is an awesome video. With osteoporosis and heart valve condition, I’m all set because of your channel. So grateful.

[@marycarmody8938]

I love this one working with the ball! thanks Lauren!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Fantastic! Thanks Mary :)

[@susalu100]

After a bad sleep night I chose this sitting workout since I felt quite tired. But it was fun, different and very good, as all your workouts. Felt a lot better after it! Thank you Lauren.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

My pleasure! so glad you felt better afterwards, and I hope you get a good nights sleep tonight :)

[@GailMatthews-o1g]

I'm still working through the vast amount of your videos and came across this older one. For a seated program and using the grandkid's play ball, this workout left me energized and invigorated!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Perfect! So glad you found this older workout Gail :)

[@JanetZima]

This was a great workout for this 70 something piano teacher! Thanks!

My 86 year old mom (who has cancer) and I share a screen on zoom and do one of your workouts every morning together. Your instructions are excellent and your moves challenging but effective. We love the chair workouts. The cardio ball are great! Thank you so much.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

It's my pleasure. I LOVE that you do my workouts with your mom!

[@lilianatosic2522]

Mini ball is the exercise I always come back to. I just like mini ball as a prop. Very creative workout. Thank you.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You bet! You know I love it too! I’m thinking of doing a standing Pilates with the ball soon 😁

[@crissheilaagabin9542]

❤ love it. One of my favorites :) thank you Lauren and team!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great! I'm thrilled you love it :D

[@coralthomas5748]

I love this workout. I have stuck to it and try to do it everyday . I can feel that I am using muscles which have not been used for a long time. I am 81 years old and find I am able to do more each time putting in more effort. Thank you Lauren

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

That’s great Coral, good for you 🙌🏻. I love this video too, the ball is a lot of fun. Try some of my other seated videos too so you have some variety in your workouts!

[@stefanilesser1396]

How wonderful to be able to do seated barre! I have been forced to use a chair to exercise. due to knee issues and am so grateful to find a seated barre workout. All your workouts have been excellent. Thank you very much!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thank you so much Stefani! I’m so glad that you are enjoying my workouts and that we share the love of barre! 😍

This is fantastic! May I teach this at an upcoming gym class so long as I give you & your program full credit? I think my seniors would really enjoy this :)

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

My seniors that I teach love working with the ball! thank you for reaching out and asking. You are happy to use the moves (there is no way I'd be able to stop you if I wanted to anyway). But passing on a link to my channel would be appreciated. Thank you

[@lauraschmuck5565]

I think this is my favorite one of all your workouts. I hope you do more seated ball workouts.

Great ideas for my seniors! Thank you for your creativity!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You’re welcome Jodi! I found that my senior classes loved working with the balls! So fun!

[@jacquelinea8224]

This was such a fun workout! Almost anyone can do it, but it's such a balanced routine that it definitely makes you feel like you've accomplished something. I think it would be great to keep a ball at your work station, and beam up the workout when you are feeling sluggish.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

I love that idea Jacqueline! I really like this video too. It was one of my first and I am glad you found it, I feel it has gotten lost!

[@jacquelinea8224]

@@SeniorShapeFitness I shared the video to Facebook and my sister was so excited and wanted to know where I got the nubby ball. My son had purchased the set from your Amazon store for my bday. I've trained him well. 😉 Needless to say I had an extra to pop in the mail!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

@@jacquelinea8224 yay! So fun. They are the best cheap balls. Thanks again for sharing the love!

[@carolshenkenberg9669]

@@jacquelinea8224 Your sister here. I finally found where I can like Lauren's videos and have been doing the ball exercise every day this week. Today I did the chair workout with weights that you alerted me to, and the easy chair yoga one also. I am sending it to FB for our cousin, Charysse, who was in a terrible car accident last week.

It’s me, Shari Corum! FINALLY got my seniors to try your workouts and they love them! Hoping you can help me put together a playlist: 7 days, almost entirely chair for assisted living residents who are either in walkers or wheel chairs. Limited standing as I don’t want them falling. They do love a challenge though! We have weights, mini balls and therabands. Oh and our chairs have arms 🤦🏻‍♀️. Thanks!!! 💜

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

yay! That's great Shari! I actually just filmed a new 10 minute series this morning, and it's all seated/chair workouts! I will most likely post it the first week of February. I'm happy to put together a playlist before then though. Can I email it to you? I'll make it private so you will need the link. Let me know :)

[@francesferriso1582]

I would love to introduce Ball exercises with my seniors ( they will love the variety ! ) However, I'm not sure of the dimensions of the ball. Sorry if you've already answered this question, but what is the diameter of the ball used ? Thanks in advance ......

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

no problem. This one is from a pack of kids balls from Amazon. They are about 6-7 inches across. A pilates mini ball works great as well, they are more like 9 inches. I have links to everything in my Amazon store which is linked in the video description.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks!

[@seohlengtay6011]

Hi, is this is not a strength training right, so the ball does not need to have any weight!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Correct, the ball is not weighted. However, for some exercises the ball serves as resistance which helps strength.

[@sheliahines9289]

I looked on your Amazon link, are these balls considered Kid balls? It looked like it was 4 for the price. I like the little spikes.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Yes! It's a pack of kids balls. I like the spikes to help grip it.

[@bethvinson1933]

How long is this workout? 😊

[@fredestair7360]

Are you using the 8.5" Knobby Ball? comes 4 in a set.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

yes, there are a few different sets. Any squishy ball will work :)

[@fredestair7360]

@@SeniorShapeFitness ty, I was having trouble cause there are so many different ones on the market and it’s difficult to tell what size would work best. Thanks for the video, I’m 82 and keeping up with you, LOL!

[@denisebogusz6698]

where can I buy a small ball? The one in th Amazon store seems too large at 9"

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

The 9 in ball will work great too. The one I’m using in this video is the knobby one that comes in a multi pack. It’s a little smaller.
