I'm 59 years old and have a meniscus knee injury that I'm trying to heal without surgery. I've been doing this workout about 5 days a week for the past couple of months and it has helped me SO much! I started out doing only the first round and then gradually worked my way up to doing the whole thing. I've noticed a substantial increase in my upper body strength and I feel better physically overall. Thank you, Samuel, for this excellent video! Your comments and enthusiasm as you lead the workout are always inspiring, helping to keep me going!
I havent worked out since...2013 or so. Im in terrible shape and my knees are shot. I recently cut the vast majority of sugar out of my diet, dropped binge-snacking, and quit soda entirely - and for me, that meant cold turkey from a 24 pack of Pepsi every 2 days. I started at nearly 280lbs at 5' 8", 34 years old, and Ive already lost 15lbs just from the diet change. With my knees as trash as they are, I needed a workout that would let me not feel my joints grinding together the whole time. This video is great, and Im thankful you put it together. You've gotten me to work out again.
You’re off to an amazing start and already over the hardest hurdle! Keep it up and you will continue to see the results. Try to increase the intensity of the workouts slowly over time and if you have trouble with your knees then also try to increase your daily step count. You will burn fat and improve your cardio, with putting little stress on your joints. Please keep me updated with your progress and thank you for the comment! 👊
Discovered your video this morning and followed along really enjoyed it. On crutches for 6 weeks and this is a life saver not just to keep fit but to help my mental health too never been good at sitting around in the house so thank you
Thank you! Thank you so much for these new seated workouts with dumbbells. I am the person who told you that your workouts are saving my life and great part of my recovery. My blood pressure is under control now, I lost some more of my extra weight, and I've gained muscle. I feel much better!! You are the best. I'm forever grateful.
So glad that you liked this one! Your journey continues to inspire me and it makes me so happy to hear that you have your blood pressure under control. Keep it up, you got this 👊❤️💪⚡️
Thank you so much for these seated workouts. I injured my hamstring a few weeks ago and your workouts are keeping me active and sweating while I’m going through physical therapy.💪🏼
Sorry to hear about your injury! So happy that you’re enjoying the workouts and are continuing to train through your rehabilitation. Thank you for the support! ⚡️🙏
definitely saving this. ty for the positivity bro, it's such a pain tryina find workouts i can actually do w/ my disability. first seated workout ive found that i can feel the work from.
Thank you. Recovering from foot surgery and I have limited mobility at the moment. Nice balanced challenge, feels safe to do, and has a good boost for the endorphins! 5 stars 🌟
What a lifesaver! I’m a weightlifter on crutches with a big toe tendon injury and have been missing the gym. This has helped me physically and mentally! Thank you so much😊 for
I did not know the shoulder press has to be at 45 degrees, Ive been trying so hard to keep them at 90. Ive been training for 7 years all wrong. Bless you Sam for talking us through such hard workouts. May you live long and healthy always!!! thank you!!!
It can be okay for some to have elbows at 90degrees. However, it does come with a greater risk of injury so I always like to suggest having the elbows at a 30 to 45 degree angle. Glad that you enjoyed the workout!! 😊⚡️💪
Love this workout! I’m recovering from foot surgery and this was a great find while searching for seated workouts! Definitely a keeper even for after recovery. New subscriber for sure! 💪🏻
I suffer from three patella dislocations in two months, meaning i need to stop jogging, boxing and other activities related to lower body until i can afford a surgery. This workout makes me feel so much empowered. Thank you!
Thanks coach. After two days of recovery this was needed. I loved this one this am. I have PT in a few hours and this is a great start to my day 💪🏾💯🔥🔥.
Hi Samuel, had knee surgery almost 2 weeks ago and needed a challenging seated workout while im not mobile. This was great and ill definitely be using this as one of my regular workouts. Used 10kg dumbbells and almost regretted it halfway through but pushed myself and felt good for it after. Thanks for your efforts, keep up the good work.
I had knee surgery last week and been itching to get some strength training in - this hit the spot! Felt like a good workout and it gave me some new upper body moves. Thanks!
I went to Walmart and bought me a 10 lb set of dumbbells last night and I was determined to do another one of your workouts and this was exactly what I was desiring because I do try to do dumbbell workouts in the gym but watching you do them I feel like I'm going to get better technique (plus I forget all the exercises you have taught me on previous videos 🙃). Another excellent workout from Mr Samuel Jordan, tha MAN! Appreciate you man!
@@SamuelJordanFitness I also dropped you a msg on Instagram as I was so very grateful for the seated workout playlist. This is going to be my go-to for the next 4-6 weeks while I recover. Thank you so much once again. This is really great content!!!
Hi, I'm 64 and diagnosed with bilateral osteoarthritis, so I've had to adjust my dumbbell workouts with the aim of still getting an excellent workout. This seated upper body workout hits the spot! Just wondering....do you have any knee friendly lower body dumbbell workouts?
Seriously a great workout, if I had ONE criticism, I wish you'd emphasize more which muscles specifically are being worked with each exercise, but, still a great workout overall 💪
First workout since my leg was smashed up when a car hit me whilst out running. Had to modify a bit (only have a single 10kg kettlebell) but still awesome. Thanks so much
I’m so sorry to hear about your accident. Awesome work staying motivated and training upper body. Best of luck with your recovery and thank you for the support 👊🙏
Thank you very much for the workouts. With limited lower body mobility where i csnnot put body weight on legs - it is helping me focus on the upper body. Though i have a questjon what does engage your core mean ? What do i need to do ?
You’re welcome! So glad that you’re enjoying the workouts! So when I say “engage your core” it means to tense your abdominal (abs) muscles. The aim is to create a strong and stable base so that when you lift, you are preventing the risk of injuries and creating a powerful base. Hope that helps! 👊🙏
Warm up comes up as a separate link in the top right hand corner of the screen when the video starts. Cool down comes up at the end. Also, warm up and cool down videos are both linked in the description 👍
Absolutely! Just make sure that you engage your core when lifting the weight. I do this by remembering to breathe out when I lift and tense my abs. This will ensure that you reduce the likelihood of injury to any stabilising muscles. Sometimes when having the back supported there can be a tendency to rely too heavily on the support and any slight movement towards the end of your set when you’re tired can put a sudden strain on a stabilising muscle and injure it. 👊🙏

With limited lower body mobility where i csnnot put body weight on legs - it is helping me focus on the upper body.

Sir you don't do any warmup or cooling down exercises, those are essential to prevent injury?
Warm up comes up as a separate link in the top right hand corner of the screen when the video starts. Cool down comes up at the end. Also, warm up and cool down videos are both linked in the description 👍
Is it ok to do these back supported?
Absolutely! Just make sure that you engage your core when lifting the weight. I do this by remembering to breathe out when I lift and tense my abs. This will ensure that you reduce the likelihood of injury to any stabilising muscles. Sometimes when having the back supported there can be a tendency to rely too heavily on the support and any slight movement towards the end of your set when you’re tired can put a sudden strain on a stabilising muscle and injure it. 👊🙏
@@SamuelJordanFitness Great, thank you!
