    To have been a part of someone beginning to exercise again....That is incredible, so thank you for sharing. We have a number of low impact workouts of varying intensities, and we will continue to make them, so stay tuned.

    I would definitely say that you have thanked us thoroughly! No really exercise is all about finding something that works for you so get started wherever you need and start challenging yourself as you can, whatever that may look like, it's always personal. Thank you for your messages!

    Am from India, a certificate holder in yoga in 1976, & also a Bullworker freak those days. After several "mini mishaps" somehow i had been so disheartened with PAIN and had been sedentary. At 55, i realize that i am going downhill, have started with three of your programs yesterday and am confident that i will be able to continue and get my flexibility back. Thanks for such helpful videos. Would request you to add more low impacts for seniors, we seem to need that so much! Good day!

    I had major hip surgery this past June. I gained alot of weight due to lack of mobility and have been struggling with land exercises. I modified alot of this workout to fit my needs but it feels nice getting active again. Been a fan forever. You've helped me get in shape in the past after a car accident in 2010. I have faith this will have the same outcome.

    FitnessBlender, I just love you. I have been routinely working out for the past year - and also managed to start running again - when a stress fracture sidelined me. This workout, your upper body TABATA workout, and one of your awesome ab workouts have saved me. Thank you for helping me stay fit for the next six weeks while my injury heals.

  • @fitnessblender
    @fitnessblender  13 лет назад +1

    It does look a lot easier than it really is. Especially if you hold onto weights, you can take up the difficulty quite a bit. Thank you for watching! -Kelli

  • @fitnessblender
    @fitnessblender  12 лет назад

    I am so happy to hear that you have found a way to keep active despite the hurdles! I wish you good health and hope that you are able to stay active so that you can reap all of the benefits.

  • @7lilly5
    @7lilly5 12 лет назад +2

    I am so glad I found you guys. I am still only able to do 10 minutes of exercise, but I keep doing a little every day. Thank you for making the video so easy to follow; I often get confused with coordination, so it was easy to train my brain to be able to follow. Thank you for your support!

      Frank Graham Exercise can really help when it comes to dealing with, minimizing and even beating chronic pain. Proud of you for not letting anything stop you from being active; keep it up!

  • @fitnessblender
    @fitnessblender  12 лет назад +1

    It's a good idea to mix your workouts up to keep them maximally effective (check out our other low impact workouts) but this one is light enough that if you aren't sore, you could do it often - especially if you weren't using weights.

  • @fitnessblender
    @fitnessblender  13 лет назад

    Thank you! Thanks for taking the time to tell us so :) We really appreciate that.

  • @fitnessblender
    @fitnessblender  12 лет назад

    Thanks! Low impacts are also great for recovery workouts in between tougher routines.

  • @garlicgirl3149
    @garlicgirl3149 10 лет назад +1

    WOW! I decided to do this exercise because I had surgery a week ago. The doctor told me to walk daily and I have been but today I didn't walk because a little bored with it and I wanted to do something low impact but movement. I can't lift weights yet either. (I normally do you guys hard workouts too) Man, I am so glad I did this! I felt a little winded and all of my muscles are activated! This was a good slow but get myself started back to muscle conditioning.

  • @Juanagohome
    @Juanagohome 11 лет назад +2

    This is great! I have been looking for another chair routine to change up what I'm doing after a foot injury. I love that its 30 minutes & that you offer something for everyone. Keep up the great work!

  • @Maberlys
    @Maberlys 9 лет назад +21

    This is soooo helpful! I'm getting surgery done on both of my knees in a couple of weeks because my kneecaps dislocate VERY easily and I am unable to do most of your workouts. I also recently sprained my ankle recently (My luck lol) and I want to lose weight and stay in shape during recovery. It would be great if you guys could do more chair workouts for your disabled/injured viewers :D

    • @Cheryl-ke4pp
      @Cheryl-ke4pp 9 лет назад +2

      +muffinthief123 Hope your surgery was successful. Am also about to have knee replacement and sprained my ankle so you're not alone in that bad luck;-) Going to try this workout to get in shape.

    • @Maberlys

    @tierneysr 8 лет назад

    This is a wonderful workout for people over 50 who haven't worked out in a long time. Thank you for this! ...You may help even more folks if you post this again with the title: Gentle, total body chair workout at work for beginners/those who haven't exercised in a long time, or something like that. As an aside, I have an injured foot. Therefore, when the instructor stands, I sit at the edge of my chair, lean back a bit, hold chair at sides, lift knees to chest, extend legs out straight, knees to chest again and then feet down to floor, and just keep repeating that, (or I could go to my floor mat and do bicycle crunches. However, I wouldn't do that at work.) Also, I can't do the Russian Twists with my chair sideways like the instructor does. Instead, I sit at very edge of my chair to do the Russian Twists. Also, I use a firm chair like the instructor but with a chair cushion. ...Again, thanks so much for this and for your website! (I'm forwarding this to friends. :) )

  • @erdevnarayan
    @erdevnarayan 12 лет назад

    Don't know how to thank you enough for including such low impact exercises. After suffering a minor accident several years back & subsequent restricted movements, i had lost so much of flexibility and was looking for good exercises. Most of those found on the internet seemed wild (to me) and this seems perfect. I have started with the exercises today. Thank you once again.

  • @JulieAllanArt
    @JulieAllanArt 9 лет назад +9

  • @deborahbrancheau1373
    @deborahbrancheau1373 9 лет назад +5

    I'm excited about this workout because I think it will be great for my mom who needs to workout with a chair right now. I found it by searching for "chair leg exercises" on RUclips with a minimum duration of 20+ minutes. I tried searching for it on FitnessBlender.com since I go there a lot to search for super specific workouts but I didn't find this one there. It would be super awesome if it was listed there too.
    Also, will you guys be doing any others like this? Maybe for people with disabilities or limitations? Those types of workouts are SOOOO hard to find. Most of them are so mild and easy that there is no way to work up a sweat and get your heart rate to a decent level. I really want my mom to do your training stuff because I've been doing it for a couple years and LOVE it. I know it would be a good challenge for her.
    And I tell all my friends about you guys all the time!!!

    I fell while our running and injured my knee which then got infected! This was particularly heart-breaking as I am supposed to be running my first ever half marathon on this sunday! I have trained everyday with your videos runs and the gym and not being able to do anything is really difficult for me as I worry about keeping my fitness up and not wanting to put on weight. Thank you for these videos it means I can still do something while being injured :-)

  • @daniel7121321
    @daniel7121321 12 лет назад +1

    This is exactly the kind of workout I have been looking for! Work as a night dispatcher at my local sheriff's office and at 4am, there's nothing better to do than sit around and wait for trouble to happen. Might as well burn some calories doing it! Thank you! :)

  • @ShanniBudd

    Hey Kelli and Daniel, I came across this workout, did it and it's Great! I am having feet issues like arch problems and spurs, to top that my lower back started to react too, then found out that my knee problems is due to the fact that I'm now crossed/bowed legged. Not good things to have and it's so stressful as I need to loose weight. Just a tiny request, if you both could come up with more videos such as this or tailored to people who have issues as such, it would be so appreciated. Thank you both for the Awesome Workouts, God Bless

Thank you again! You guys are awesome!

    @erdevnarayan 12 лет назад +2

    To clarify further, most of my pain issues have resolved and though i am perfectly weighted because of excellent diet, i am stiff at many places and also my cardio system has taken a beat because of sedentary living. Given such a scene, your workouts are so helpful and make sense to me rather than the multitude programs on the internet which for me look like more suitable for gymnasts and not us, who want to start with life all again. So, can i thank you enough?

      Same here. Was just given this exercise and years ago I know that it would not have been that hard, but I asked for something slow (my lower back does not appreciate any kind of jumping or most quick moves). After watching this I thought - okay, looks good. However, it looked easier than actually doing it.. that was something else. I will keep it on favorites and try some of the other exercises from fitnessblender that I just might... maybe.... be able to do... It's definitely what I need.

    I think it's counterproductive to rest after every single move to watch the next one, even just to switch sides. There's a voice over talking through the move. Plus, the moves would surely be mastered once the workout has been done a few times.

    I have osteoarthritis in both knees where it’s bone on bone, so keeping my leg straight to stretch, I can feel the knee cap pop each time so I have to keep my leg slightly bent. I actually was using a chair through half of the work out but for the swimmers work out ( that was on the corner of my bed) and the assistant ones (I had to use a dresser) my old metal chair is short. This is my first time trying out chair workouts and I thought I would be in more pain from my knees then the other kinds of workouts but I have no pain, just sore muscles instead. Didn’t know even sitting in front of a chair I’ll be still sweating. I will find more workouts on chairs later to vary each day.
