Chair Exercises for Seniors // 10 Minute Arm Workout w/ Dumbbells

Gain strength in your upper body with this arm and shoulder toning and shaping workout!
All exercises are performed in a seated position.
I'm using 4 pound weights for this workout. Always start with lighter dumbbells if you are unsure. You can also use water bottle or soup cans to add resistance if you do not have weights.
Please go at your own pace and make the workout your own.
This routine is a great way to start a strength training program and build bone density!

Great Sandra! Here is a link to my new chair workout you may like as well :)

I'm 60 and I just finished the workout. Legs and Abs burn. I'm so proud that I did it 😁

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great job! I'm proud of you too Meryl :)

Tried this one for the first time. Usually do the standing ones. I was tired today so it was SO GOOD to sit and do my arm exercises. Thank you! ❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great Rosemary! I'm happy it was a good workout for you :)

[@SJL07]

I'm 58 and in pretty good shape but I cannot keep up with women in their 20's posting intense workouts. I just found your channel and am looking forward to a more gentle way to tone up. Thanks, Lauren!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

yes Sharon! That is exactly why I created this channel! I'm so glad you found me, I will keep you challenged, but in a safe, effective and fun way :)

I love this 10 minute workout for days I am busy. I have to say that your workouts and you personally, have changed my whole relationship with exercise. I love to workout daily with you.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wow! That is great to hear 🤩

[@gaildoughty6799]

This is great. I hate to admit I can’t do what I did when I was 40, but here we are. Thank you so much for helping to make it fun.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You are most welcome Gail! I'm thrilled you thought it was fun :)

[@CC-mu4dn]

Thank you for making the chair workout videos as they are really helpful for people with knee issues like me

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Glad you like them! You are most welcome :)

[@marinajurisic7844]

Thanks so much for your time and dedication to this videos, 33yo really happy about it after knee surgery. Thanks so much from Zurich, Switzerland!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful Marina! I wish you all the best on your continued recovery :)

[@user-pw6fc3wv4m]

Enjoyed that yoga workout very much. I am 76 yo. 👍🏻

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wonderful!

[@rosanesandberg9119]

Had right knee replacement Monday and before that did your knee stretches for months before. Know that will/ help in recovery. Since using a walker for now just did this 10 minute arm weights 2x! Will add some of the upper body core later. Maybe you can do an upper body with a one leg strength combo😊 So glad I have your moves to help me keep up my Senior "76" Strength😊

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Wow! Good for you 🙌🏻 Wishing you a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹

[@marjoriegonzalez2231]

👋 I’m looking forward to these exercises 🙂

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Yay! Thank you :)

[@Boykin1017]

I am not a senior but my body has been impacted severely by covid and autoimmunity and neuropathy. I used to could go hard at the gym and some days can barely walk. I am dealing with arm atrophy and pray it is nothing long term serious but trying to get some movement in my arms. I just made it through your 10 min chair arm exercise using 2lb weights, it felt nice to get some movement with weights. Please make some more seated routines for the arms and legs if you can. I am glad I found you and you are making a difference. Thank you for your help.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

I'm glad you found me too, thanks for your kind words :) I have many chair workouts here is a link to my playlist that has all my seated workouts :kzbin.info/aero/PLdAl5SsVkdocMLUUPFfqXXUzQ57U1Jp7y

Great workout!

Glad you liked it Julie!

[@elizabethmerica2625]

Perfect. I did 1 round of one of the longer HIIT videos and then this for 25 min total of morning exercise. I like mixing these up depending on energy level and what I want to work on. Happy Friday. Lauren, this is a labor of love. Thank you for really helping me to feel more energetic and ready for the day!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great Elizabeth! Way to mix it up! Have a great weekend :)

[@kellypantaleoni5166]

Wooohooo that was one heck of a fabulous burn! I can’t thank you enough for this week! 10min workouts are so versatile 🎉

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

So glad you are liking them Kelly! Lots of healthy "snacks" to keep you moving :)

[@SkyheartAgabin]

Great workout! Love it. Sweat and out of breath after. ❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great job! glad to hear you got a good workout :)

[@anntews6325]

I love these short and very effective workouts. Keep them coming. I di my own thing especially when it comes to the overhead triceps one cuz doing them that way hurts the outside of my left upper arm. I used to push through the pain but finally decided to stop doing them that way. Wasn’t doing me any good for sure. Oh well at least I’m learning!! Better late than never. I’ll do what works for me. Thanks again for making these videos for us.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

My pleasure Ann, and good job making it work for you! A tricep kickback is a good modification for you :)

[@felion548]

Had surgery but wanted to keep up with my workout chair exercise perfect TY

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Oh good! Hope you have a speedy recovery 😍

[@jillharrison5391]

This was a nice quick burn! Thanks for making the most of 10 mins. Like these so we can mix and match.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Yes! I like them to mix and match or as an add-on to another workout 🤩

[@tracyheath6076]

I actually looked forward to this sitting down arm workout. Worked hard at the rink skating and my legs are whooped. So this was great. Still working abs too. Added some chest strength training too ! Did that pattern of 8, 4, 2 and well then of course the combo. I mean like it works

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Yay! I love that you added on and used the pattern. You rock Tracy!

[@user-dj4qv3bh4q]

Good morning😎 First time doing the 10 minute Abs, Legs & Arms workout. Wow, very nice, will do them often. Thank you 🥰

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Great! I have a new chair workout coming next week you may enjoy too 🤩

Good video. Thanks for this.

Great arm workout Lauren! It was the perfect add on to your Low Impact Cardio with the Mini Ball Workout! Thanks again for all of your great workouts!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're so welcome! I love that you added this to the mini ball cardio workout!

This was awesome! Felt the burn! 💪

Excellent! Thanks for working out with me💜

[@rosierosie62]

Day 41, knee is playing up, hence I am reluctant to do a lot standing up. but there is always a seated Lauren work out :).

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

For sure! I'll keep you active no matter what!!!

[@barbyantha6183]

I enjoy your workouts. Feel good afterward without feeling spent. Only comment I would share is the music in the background. My hearing doesn’t allow me to tune out the sound so it’s hard for me to hear you with the music.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Thanks Barb, I appreciate your feedback :)

[@cherylemesolella757]

I have abandoned the exercise DVD’s that I have been doing since 2006 because of chronic knee bursitis. Before going back to physical therapy, I thought I would exclusively do your chair videos. It has worked. I do a half hour video plus a 10 minute one 5 times a week plus the physical therapy stretches and it’s a success. Thank you so much. I can see the effort you have put into creating them. I am 70 now and you have made this transition a painless one. ❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

That's wonderful Cheryl! I'm thrilled to hear about your success from your hard work with my workouts! Keep up the good work :)

[@camillecasey6703]

Hi I just did this video and it was great! I have a neck issue with stenosis and really have a hard time doing shoulder exercises due to neck pain. Is there a video that addresses neck pain and how can I exercise my shoulders without neck issues. Thank you in advance. Your videos are a blessing to me and possibly every senior out there!

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

So glad you like it Camille! This video is great for pain of any sort.Give it a try and let me know if it helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hquqZqOBdsqUj9E

[@LenoirNevermore]

Can you do some 10 or 15 minute workouts with the kettle bell please? Both seated and standing? Two versions? The only one I could find was a 31 minute workout. Thank you! Absolutely, adore your videos.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Here is another kettlebell video, it's a little shorter at 20 min: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2Gyi2tuiLFrmMU

thanks , great workouts. can you link a strech video for use after this arm workout 🙏

Done! Now, both the leg workout and stretch will be options to click on :)

[@teristurtevant3229]

Thank you for this work out. I've only just found this video. Is it possible to get a view from the side too? I want to make sure my posture/form is correct, especially for the rowing exercise. Thanks again.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Glad you liked it Teri, unfortunately, once a video is posted, I’m unable to edit it. But I’ll keep it in mind for next time!

[@elizabethgutierrez478]

I just found your channel.1 bought 2 1 lb. weights? Is that ok? I tried the 2 lb. at store, but they were too heavy for me.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

That's a perfect place to start Elizabeth. When your 1lb weights start to feel too easy then you will know it's time to get the 2lb :)

[@elizabethgutierrez478]

@@SeniorShapeFitness Thank you!

[@joyceano1205]

Yes l hear you can't do like l use to hard on my body now l do easy weights walk dog x2 keep it simple 🛑 easier on my joints

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Sounds like a good plan Joyce!

[@janesimmons1861]

way too hard for most seniors

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

Not in my experience teaching 100's of seniors. It's important to start with light weights or maybe no weights at all. But if it is not appropriate for you or too difficult, then by all means don't do the video.
