Just wanted to let you know I just came from my Dr. I lost 16 lbs doing your various chair workouts. I have Spina Bifida & am losing my mobility but these workouts keep me active. I get up every morning excited to do my workout!! THANK YOU!!
I’ve currently got an ankle injury and rely on working out for my depression and general health and wellbeing so I’m very pleased I found ur channel. It’s been about a week since i starting doing chair cardio and I’m a lot happier and have even started to lose weight! Thanks a lot for making these cardio vids, it’s making a big difference!!
Wow. I'm British. I live in Scotland. It's January, mid-pandemic, and I'm recovering from foot surgery. I mention all this to set the gloomy grey scene for the unstoppable rays of optimism and positivity that came from this, my first exposure to Caroline. I'm glowing in all sorts of ways now. Thank you!
I injured my foot so I decided to try some seated cardio while it’s healing! I thought this doesn’t seem hard but man this was killer, and I’ve been doing cardio workouts for over 10 years! Thank you for this!
M y favorite is the soccer game exercise! And I love when you mentions smiling or laughing, I automatically laugh or smile with you. You energy is contagious❤❤❤❤❤l
I had ACL reconstruction 7 weeks ago. Although I can walk, I’m very slow and stiff. I’m not cleared to do regular cardio. Your chair workouts are great and make me feel like I’m actually working out again. It’s helping me get energized. Thank you!
Wait a minute, we have to do this one twice but you just hit replay to show round one again? 😛 Broke my toe two weeks ago and that grinded my hiking to a halt, thought I'd check this out. Brilliantly hard workout from a chair, who knew?! I've done four of yours so far. Keeping me fit while this dang toe heals! Thanks!
Caroline, this is one of my favorites and at the top of my rotation! Would love if you'd add more advanced, fast-paced cardio workouts like this one. Thank you so much!
Caroline, I broke my foot last week and your videos have saved the day! You have an excellent attitude and your workouts are hard work. I do them every morning. So grateful for you!
Caroline I can't thank you enough, you are absolutely incredible! I've been lucky enough to never have a foot injury until now, but my 5-6 HIIT workouts a week caught up with me and put me in a boot for a month (I'm very fortunate it's nothing serious and I can still do movement)! I was definitely not feeling challenged by the other chair workouts I was finding, but this seriously had me working hard! Your attitude about fitness and appreciation for your body and it's ability to move is beautiful too. I'm a soon to be occupational therapist and I will absolutely keep your channel in mind not only for myself, but for future clients as well. Thank you!
I never thought I'd be able to complete a HIIT workout when I began, but i completed this one with all energy and doing every single one!!! I didn't cheat, I'd only be cheating myself anyway! Her energy and positive talk keeps me going!! Love this and I've sent these videos to so many people!
I think if I ever see this woman in the street, I'm gonna run up to her like one of those crazy celebrity fans, screaming crying in joy, asking for an autograph 😂 Thank You Caroline
Hi Caroline! I've been using your chair workouts and I just wanted to reach out and say thank you so much for these. I'm 600lbs (less now more than likely, I've been working out and eating better but haven't been able to weight myself), my highest weight was 670lbs. I tried other chair workouts and while they were a good start, I have so much fun using yours. Your personality and positivity just makes it so enjoyable and I feel so fantastic after the workouts. Since starting exercising I've been feeling better mentally, my panic attacks have dropped significantly, and I no longer have chest pains and trouble breathing just from walking down the hall. I don't know if you'll read this but I just wanted to say thank you for being a factor in saving my life.
Seriously. Thank you so so much. I’m an athlete who fractured my knee in two places. I haven’t been able to walk for almost 11 weeks. I’ve had surgery and I’m in PT but as an active person I’ve been feeling sluggish and awful. Being cleared for PT and at a stage in my healing process, I do modified versions of some of these exercises. But today was the first time I have actually SWEAT from a workout in almost 3 months. I feel amazing. I’m so happy to have this outlet and to get stronger ❤️❤️
Hi Caroline! I am new to your channel. I sustained a foot injury a week ago and unable to workout as I normally would. Your workouts are a Lifesaver. They have really got my heart pumping! So grateful. I have been quite down as I haven't been able to workout. So happy to come across your channel. Thank you.
LOVED THIS!! I have an ankle injury, and I haven't been able to find a cardio workout that really feels like a workout. I have never sweat so much to where it's dripping off my forehead! Felt so good afterward, and yes, the endorphins kicked in. :)
Hi Caroline, this is Nickey from the UK. I found your channel during the current pandemic, when I was searching for exercises when I hurt my ankle & could not power walk & do the step classes that I love. I did not think that Chair cardio workouts would give me the aerobic hit that I need when I exercise; how wrong was I. A few more HIT chair cardio workouts would be fab please! thank you xx
I am really just thankful for you and your channel! Everyday I struggle with my injury and get down and feel like I can’t do anything... then I hope on your channel for my workout and it reminds me that everyday I’m improving, most people would have quit and I have persevered. And you remind me to just be happy and thankful for where I’m at! - Thank you!
Thank you for your help! On a weight loss journey for my health and have developed plantar fasciitis from all of the weight bearing and high impact workouts. This will help me keep going and still heal my feet! My fave workout from this was the soccer heel taps!
hello Caroline!! I have to say how much ive been enjoying all of your chair workouts!! ive been disabled foe quite a few years. I must say you have given me the best workouts around. With Donavan Green. You are my fave though!!! I have an auto-immune disease calked, "Addison's Disease" my adrenal glands are dead. ive lost ovewr 60lbs working out with you!!! id love it if you did a 60 jminute chair boxing moves. Thank you, Jelennie Pinterpe
I am very active and was devastated when my foot broke. I wasn't worried about strength, but was not sure how I could get a good cardio workout. I am so glad you have offered these foot injury-friendly videos. It was a life saver.
Thanks so much, Caroline. Heel/ ankle injury has set me back for 2 months and have been doing strength training but sooooo pleased to be able to do some cardio. What a godsend. Much appreciated😊
im so thankful youve created these workouts. i recently lacerated a tendon in my foot. working out is such a vital part of my day and my mental health that i was more bothered by the no workout order than the actual injury itself. with your workouts, im still able to get that dopamine rush and the mental focus i need not to mention that im still making it a part of my day so when im given a clean bill of health i will still have the time slot and mindset to keep my workouts a part of my day!
I'm due hip replacement surgery in September so I am limited to what I can do. Your videos are great because you give me alternative ways of doing the exercise. I really work up a sweat and hopefully will have lost a few pounds and got fitter for my surgery. Thank you Caroline.
If I had not twisted my ankle....I would've never came across this video. I've told so many of my friends....this is a workout like no other. Since doing chair cardio workouts...my abs are tone and my arms are lean. I come from a fitness background...and here I am thinking I have to spend countless hours in the gym....not anymore....I'm hooked and will continue on even after I'm healed. Thank you so much 💕
I run at least 5 miles every single day, but just injured my knee last week. I’ve been through a knee injury before (meniscus tear) and it is so depressing not being able to run/workout. After this recent injury I started researching what I could do to stay in shape and not get depressed during the time it takes my knee to heal and one article I read mentioned “chair cardio” so I decided to look it up and that’s how it came across this video. I am so glad something like this exists, and reading through the comments it seems to be so many people in the same situation as me - healing from injury and wanting to still be able to workout so they don’t get depressed. This is a godsend, thank you! This will keep me sane for the months I can’t run
You are amazing. Thank you for your dedication to helping us cook up some endorphins whilst injured. I so appreciate your fitness and fresh smiling face. Thank you so very much 🌱💚🌱💚🌱💚🌱💚🌱💚🌱
Man I never experience a chair work out that made me tired but feel good at the same time!!! Wasn't a elder work out which is hard to find. I repurted tore my plantar and can't do things on my feet for 2 months at least. I really like the punch work out portion
Hi Caroline! Another success story! I had Lapiplasty mid December. I couldn’t even do my normal job which is playing the harp. (Concert Grand harp has seven foot pedals to adjust the pitch of the strings.) I am also an avid mountain biker so I knew I was going to need something to keep me in better performance shape coming out of this. I still have to walk two more weeks in the “magic” boot but I can wear a big Converse sneaker on my left foot to pedal the harp LOL. Thank you for your hurt foot videos, chair cardio and motivation!
Thank you for this. I’m at the beginning of recovering from foot surgery and I’m a hard work out kind of lady. It’s been 2.5 weeks since the surgery and I finally have the energy to workout again. I tried not to get down on myself because I needed the rest. This was just the kind of positivity and tough workout I needed. Will be taking again. Thank you!!
am in between knee surgeries and needed a cardio workout that did not use knees. This chair cardio is great!! Caroline, you are so positive and supportive!!! Thanks!!
Thank you so much for posting this video. I am a personal trainer and have been into fitness for over 30 years. I was sidelined 3 weeks ago with a foot fracture and was bed ridden for 4 days. I was getting really frustrated and depressed because. I have only missed 3 workouts in my lifetime of fitness. I am not a sedentary person and my body has a negative reaction when I have not exercised for more than 2 days. So, not being able to workout or even move was really depressing. So, instead of feeling sorry for myself I decided to research chair workouts, but alot of videos I found were exercises that were not challenging enough for me so, I was not getting a proper cardio burn from it. And then I came across this video of yours and it hit the spot for me. And I love your positive energy! I have taken your exercises and made some modifications in order to make it even more challenging for someone like me who has a higher fitness level. I use 5 lbs hand weights in each hand for most of your exercises in this workout. And for each exercise, I keep my feet elevated off the ground (back straight and I don't lean back on the chair at all) so, my abs are fully engaged the entire time. I also only take a 5 second break in the 20 second rest period in between each exercise. And for the push up/dip exercise, I actually do proper tricep dips non-stop for 20 seconds while keeping my abs tucked in (feet off the ground the entire time). And the remaining 10 seconds I do what you do, but don't let my feet touch the ground only bringing them down hovering above the ground with each dip and ab crunch. So, with some of my modifications to your exercises, I have managed to make someone like me who is really fit feel even more challenged. So, thank you so much for posting this. It has saved my sanity and I can keep fit while my foot injury heals. :)
@@deciphertruth3018 - Give it a try. It makes it more challenging. My foot healed up within 8 weeks so, I was able to get back to doing my regular cardio and weight training routine. But, if it were not for these seated cardio exercises, I would have gone nuts not being able to do any cardio while my foot fracture healed.
Carolyn I want to thank you for your teaching style, in January I tore my quadricep tendon so I did all these chair exercises with one leg as you suggested in the video. Today was the first day that I did both legs, again thank you very much!
I loved this advanced workout i am a wheelchair user and was doing exercises i wouldn't have thought to do because I can't use.my legs this.was brilliant thank you
Have been doing your chair cardio work-outs for a week now!! AM feeling stronger and my abs are flatter!! Love your wonderful spirit, Caroline!! Catherine Swanson
As someone who was a marathon runner and active for over 30 years...I am soooo GRATEFUL I found you! I injured my knee last year and haven't been able to workout for a year. I am in TERRIBLE shape and my mental state has taken a hit as well. My cousin suggested chair workouts...I laughed and thought what good will they do. WELL LET ME TELL YOU!! YOUR WORKOUTS ROCK! I am feeling strong again and I feel like I CAN get in shape again!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
Thank u Caroline xi join with u everyday 💓 I'm not a excercise person but allways feels soooo good after done best I can only joined 1xweek and feeling so good and posotive about myself I'm 71yrs old got arthritis and ur helping me so much THANK U XSEE U TOMORROW XXXHUGS
Thanks, Caroline! I am pumped about finding these workouts. I'm coming back from injuries in both hamstrings. I simply cannot walk or jog everyday. This is great cardio when I can't bear weight. You and your creativity have really lifted my spirits.
I haven’t had to do a chair workout since I injured my ankle while pregnant a few years ago! That being said.. I pulled a muscle in my hamstring/calf the other day & can barely walk! Was so missing cardio I knew I could come back here. Time flew by! Thank you ❤
Hi Caroline, broke my metatarsal on the 1st and the lack of activities drove me nuts. Then I discovered your hurt leg workouts and I love them! I can work out even with a broken bone, with a cast. Feels so good to not just vegetate away. Thank you for your awesome job! Sending love 💗
Thank you so much Caroline. I am feeling so good after doing this workout. I appreciate your thoughtfully developed workouts, your positive attitude, and the hard work you put into each video.
Thank you! Currently recovering from knee surgery but still want to workout and feel the workout as well! Definitely felt the workout, heart pumping, sweating, mission accomplished!
The chair run is my favorite exercise in the interval workout! I used to run track as a teenager and it reminds me of my younger years!! Thank you, Caroline!!! from: Catherine Swanson
I am so grateful for your workouts as I wait during this time for elective surgery to even fix the injury I have. I know I'll be using these post surgery as well. Thank you for always reminding us to smile!
I am so excited that I came across your workouts for people with lower body injuries! I have really been struggling with keeping on track after hysterectomy, and 4 weeks ago I broke my left ankle. I just wish I would've found this a few weeks ago as I feel I have gone backwards big time. Thank you for what you do Caroline. Your positive attitude, words, and energy are contagious. It feels so good to feel in my body again, and to feel my strength, and to sweat!!!
I found these chair cardio at the beginning of the pandemic when my health club closed. They are awesome for me, who has spinal ,muscular atrophy and find standing very difficult. I used this workout when visiting my son in Long Beach and have put it on my favorite list. Will be 75 this year and happy that I can still move with these.
Thanks for this workout! I have a foot injury and am non weightbearing for about 5 weeks. One thing that would be super helpful is a side view for some of the moves. Just a thought for helping show the correct form. Thanks again for your video series.
Caroline, I broke my foot about three weeks ago. I live in Austin, TX. I was desperate for some kind of workout after being told I couldn’t go to the gym for the next 8-16 weeks. I found your workout videos and they have been super helpful. I just did this one twice through and I was able to get my heart rate > 130 for the whole second round. Favorite exercise is the chair knee tuck. Thank you so much!! (It would be great if the videos were numbered to see which one is which. I’m basically doing at least three of your workouts per week).
you have to join us at www.hurtfootfitness.com/ ! you would love it! a follow along calendar, exclusive hurt foot videos and more. Id love to have you!
You are AMAZING!!! A true blessing! I speed walk everyday but sprained my ankle a week ago. I found your workouts the day after my injury! I was freaking out about not being able to do my cardio walks for a couple weeks. You saved me!! Thank you! I feel amazing after your workouts. 💜
Broke a sweat 💦!!!! Wow!! These exercises were amazing!! Thank you for this. I recently sprained my ankle and I couldn’t be more thankful for your videos. Especially this one!!! It was great! In 29 min I burned 180 cal 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Thank you Caroline for this video. I was so down about my recent injuries and off-and-on chronic knee pain. Your positivity is contagious. I can't express how much your videos have helped this 62-year-old.
Another foot fracture for me. On my way to recovery (hopefully - it's been 4 months!) Thank you so much for the very challenging workout. You are the BEST! I appreciate all you do. ❤💥
I do not have an injury, but these types of workouts showed up on my facebook feed and I decided to check them out. I really have been enjoying them because I can tell I'm using parts of my body that don't get worked very much. Thank you for this workout, I really worked up a sweat and got my heart rate up.
Still doing your advanced chair cardio workout after starting it last March 2021!! Love the pace and the chair run especially!! Thanks, Caroline From: Catherine
The chair cardio workout routines are surprisingly challenging! I am a new subscriber to your coaching program, and I have been enjoying all the workout routines that I have done so far. Thank you Caroline! Please share more chair workouts!
I just want to say thank you for your videos and your words! I have a stress fracture in my foot that is taking much longer to heal than expected, I am a runner and fitness is a huge part of my life and my routine, and your videos are such a great reminder of the importance of staying positive and finding ways to come back stronger- physically and mentally- from injury! Very grateful!!
Join us at www.hurtfootfitness.com/ Lucy! I have SO much more to offer you there and I know youd benefit greatly from our program! we would love to have you!
Think this is my fourth or fifth time doing this. Thank you Caroline for doing all this, especially in the lockdown like environment most countries find themselves in. I pray you and your family are safe in San Diego I think. Take care and God bless.
This is my favorite video of yours so far! It worked me well today, and I loved your soccer kicks! I also liked the chair butt lift! I think I loved all the moves, and this seemed more intense than even your other ones! Thanks Caroline!
You outdid yourself on this one! What a great heart pumping challenging workout! Made me less sad that my foot is still out of commission... Thank you, Caroline! :)
Another fantastic workout, Caroline! I especially love the jumping jacks and running but all of it was wonderful. The HIIT format works well. Thanks so much. You've been a lifesaver as I recover from a broken foot.
Thanks Caroline for this workout. I find regular HITT too much impact on my feet so chair cardio is perfect for me. The punch, punch, reach, reach was my favourite this morning! The chair jumping jacks are tough but i enjoy them!!
Thank you..been a couple of days following chair cardio and I'm liking it. I need to get in shape and lose weight and feel better, reactivate my metabolism and i am finding your videos helpful. Thanks
Caroline, Thank you so much for your chair workouts! I have been working out for 23 years and recently broke my foot and have been dying for some cardio that I miss and love so much. I did a search and found your videos that are giving me back some of the cardio!!
Amazing video. I'm a triathlete but sidelined by a long-term knee injury. These are great to get my heart working and to get that endorphin rush I've been missing sorely. Thanks so much Caroline!
I am an extremely active woman and I just broke my foot about four weeks ago. I am a personal trainer and am knowledgeable about work outs but was having a difficult time motivating myself. Your chair cardio workouts are so upbeat and positive! They've really helped to get me out of my funk and back into my workouts!
Thank you thank you thank you!! I'm a dancer, i work out every day, and I dive. 4 Weeks ago i broke my foot and i jut fell apart. I found this work out and for the first time in 4 weeks I was able to work out so that my body broke out a sweat! thank you so much!!
I just found your channel, I have a knee injury and have been looking for chair cardio to go along with my seated dumbbell workouts. This is awesome! And I love all of the different moves that keep me engaged! Thank you!
