For those who want or need to work out from a chair, I hope these chair aerobics work for you. I cater my workouts to seniors so this would be an intermediate workout for seniors who are used to working out with me. We'll accomplish 2275 steps if you choose to pick up your pace in the walk/jog intervals of the workout but by all means, you can choose to walk at a slower pace if that suits you best. This is a no-talking workout with lively music to hopefully motivate you to move!
If this is too challenging, I have gentle seated workouts as well as beginner workouts available on my channel. Here are just a few:
Gentle seated workouts:
• At Home Chair Exercise...
• A 7 Day Program of Cha...
Beginner seated workouts:
• Beginner Seated Workou...
• Seated Workout at Home...
• At Home Chair Workout ...
If you enjoyed the workout, please hit the like button (thumbs up) and write a comment!

I am an ex fitness instructor. I continue to work out with aerobics through the years, and recently I had foot surgery. After 8 weeks of required rest and four more weeks before I can walk on the foot again, I needed to work out to get my heart rate up. This workout fit the bill. Thank you so much! I sweated and got my heart rate up. I feel like I had a complete aerobic workout. Thanks for sharing. I’m subscribing for more great workouts.

@ImprovedHealth 9 месяцев назад

Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know that you enjoyed the workout (especially meaningful knowing you're a past fitness instructor). Thanks for subscribing. Just so you know, I create 3 levels of workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate for both seated and standing). I also started a second channel dedicated to chair workouts and will add the link for you here: www.youtube.com/@ImprovedHealthChairWorkouts So far I just have gentle and beginner seated workouts on my other channel but will add intermediate level workouts soon.

@ImprovedHealth 2 года назад

If you can do standing exercises, I'd suggest sticking with the standing or modify this one to do it standing instead. The exercises shouldn't hurt...it could have been the chair you were using or even the height of the chair, etc. But, bottom line is if you can stand and exercise, stay standing because the standing exercises will challenge your strength and balance more. I create the seated options for those who need to work out from a seated position. ❤️

Quick q...when I do the side steps and then the seated leg over knee stretch, I feel some pain below my hips (so more on side) not sure if that is hip flexor/IT band/??....any thoughts or on stretches to do before or after these?

@ImprovedHealth 2 года назад

Hmm, the physical therapists/physiotherapists are the experts on your question. To me it sounds like the IT bands...I am always tight in that area as well but I never experience pain, it's more of an annoying feel that is telling me I need to stretch more. One great stretch I like (which is a runners stretch) is to cross your ankles, while standing, then stretch down so your hands come to the floor and twist slightly so your hands are walking to the side then hold the stretch. I'm not sure if that stretch is a doable one for you but it should stretch the area you are referring to. Alternatively, you could see a PT who can give you that specialized answer.

@ImprovedHealth 2 года назад

Hi Maria, my name is Jules. My suggestion would be to go to my playlists and check out the 'intermediate seated workouts'. I have some that are specific to just arms, abs and core. The videos are different lengths so you could choose whichever length you feel like doing that day. If you put two cardio workouts together, just skip the ending (stretching from the first workout) and then skip the warm up of the second workout but finish with the stretching of that workout. That way you'll be getting a proper warm up, cardio workout and stretching. I hope that helps!

Have to wait for next bone density test in September. In preparation for that, I think I’ll go back to Walmart and get those pink tennies I saw today. They will be energizing.

I like this excercise .can i ask what kind a music is this? Thanks

@ImprovedHealth Год назад

Thanks! I usually choose the pop or electronic songs since they are the most motivating songs I can find.

I hi I this could be more advanced by going faster and bigger range of motion for the arms. I’m going to be out of commission soon for a foot surgery so I hope so. I work out 5 days a week so I am really nervous about literally being off my feet for my recovery.

I wish you all the best for your surgery and for a quick recovery.

I have hip arthritis will this help me? I can hardly walk. I’m morbidly obese.

Welcome to my channel, Adrienne! One of the most recommended things to do for arthritis is to exercise. I create 3 levels of both seated and standing workouts (gentle, beginner and intermediate levels). If you liked this level, my recommendation is to continue with the intermediate level seated workouts, and if you can, mix in some of the gentle standing workouts for variety. You can pick and choose various lengths of workouts. If you find it hard to exercise, maybe try a 10 minute workout morning and evening (or whenever you have time) so you can gradually increase the amount you're doing. If you combine these workouts with healthy eating, you will definitely start seeing change. I absolutely look forward to reading about your progress over time.

Is it my imagination or are these seated exercises more of a tummy workout than standing?

@ImprovedHealth Год назад

Seated workouts can definitely be much more challenging than people realize (especially the intermediate level ones). And yes, they also work the abs quite well:)
