I broke both ankles in a car accident and wanted to exercise. Bless you for thinking about people with disabilities. You don't think about it till it happens to you. Thank you. I am doing WW and love this video.😍😄
I"d been so proud of myself for exercising almost every day- and then I hurt my foot exercising! I'm determined not to get out of the habit and you're helping me- thank you so much! This is great!
I almost cried watching your videos. I have horrible plantar fasciitis with nerve entrapment. I felt like I couldn't do the workouts I wanted. I can't even walk some days. Thank you soooooo much !
I have it too, but not with nerve entrapment. May I suggest you try throwing a plastic water bottle in the freezer and using that (instead of a lacrosse ball, for instance) to sit and roll your foot/feet over, daily? It's incredibly good for plantar's fasciitis and has helped me a lot. The ice in the bottle numbs your foot a bit, while you roll it around. Feels great and no danger. :)
oh I hear you !!! I had it for three years, nothing worked. Then a friend who had it so bad in both feet that she was using a walker, recommended a physiotherapist. A month of firm pressure massage and me doing a lot of exercises involving a lacrosse ball and two foam wedges and it has been gone for over two years. Best feeling EVER! Still working on losing the weight I packed on while I could barely walk...
Dear Caroline, Your chair workouts have been a real ENCOURAGEMENT to me! I broke my 5th metatarsal bone in my right foot, and went from walking 4 miles a day, to wondering "WHAT WILL I DO NOW??" I found you...❤ and I know I will stay healthy during recovery now. I am 58 years old. This is my first broken bone. I will keep moving! Thank You!❤
I broke my ankle 9 months ago and gained 17 lbs. I still can't walk on it without pain, but I'm desperate and determined to get this weight off. Thanks, Caroline Jordan! I this is an unbelievably helpful video- and I love the encouraging words you provide.
So I have been running for about 7 years. During the first six months of the pandemic, I ran over 500 miles. I don’t do group races/marathons, but I do like to compete with myself, breaking personal records, etc. I guess I got a little carried away as we got deeper into the pandemic, pushing myself to do at least one 10K run per week, always trying to beat my time from the week before. Late November/early December, I starting noticing pain in my foot when I would run. Doc says X-rays didn’t indicate a break anywhere and instructed me to take a little time off and then to shorten my runs. Impatiently, I took only a 10 day break, hit the pavement only to find the pain was still there and felt even worse. So I did a little research and found that stress fractures are likely the cause of my pain, especially since they don’t show up in X-rays, at least not until weeks after initial injury. So I knew then it would be at least a couple months before I would even attempt to run again. I wanted to make sure I stay as active and as strong as I can during the interim, so I googled: “how to workout with a foot injury”And low and behold, there you were, Caroline Jordan!! Nice to meet you, Caroline, my name is Aimee. (By the way, my youngest daughter’s name is Caroline and you look so much like one of her best friends, whose name is, actually, Jordan!!! Lol 😂 I’ve been using your workouts almost every morning since I found you! So first of all: Thank you, thank you, thank you for what you do! I appreciate your sincere and thoughtful guidance through this. Second of all, (and this part of my comment is because you ask us to comment on this during your videos) I want to say that over the past few weeks, while I’ve really liked the workouts and can feel that they are challenging me to keep me strong and/or make me stronger, I have been grieving the loss of the sweat factor that came with running. I’m used to coming home from a run, stripping out of my clothes, and throwing them into the washer wetter than they are when they come out! Most of your workouts, chair and otherwise, barely even left me damp. And you often say on your videos “I’m already sweating!” and I’m always like, “she must have the heater on over there!!!!” Lol 😂 So I was ever on the hunt for a workout that really left me feeling like I had worked for something! Then yesterday I found this video!!! Finally! I started to sweat! This morning I actually did it twice in a row so that I could really feel like I worked hard. I was happy to finally have to wipe my forehead to keep sweat out of my eyes. It wasn’t like running, but it’s the closest I’ve gotten so far! So, you asked for feedback, I’m giving it! I’m fairly new to, not only, Caroline Jordan fitness, but also to RUclips. You are actually the first time I “subscribed” to something on RUclips... honestly, don’t even know what that means, but you told me to do it, so!!!! 😂 Being a newbie at all this, I dont know how to find out if you have more videos like this that have an elevated sweat factor, but if there aren’t and you are looking on feedback for what kind of videos to add: I would like videos that are geared to someone like me who wants to feel like they tore it up during their workout and left drops of sweat under their chair cardio spot!! Or any other style of your foot injury workouts! I hope my feedback doesn’t come across as demanding, I just always hear you ask for feedback telling you what we think, so I hope you know that’s why I wrote this request. I feel confident there are people out there who are far stronger and far more athletic than me who also would like a safe but intense workout while healing from injury. Again, thank you so much for your videos, Caroline!!! You look great, by the way! I would love to be as cute and tiny yet STRONG as you are!! You’re adorable! It’s very obvious that you love what you do!
Hi Aimee!! its nice to meet you too! Have you thought about joining my Hurt Foot Coaching Program? It gives you structure and a follow along program to assist in injury recovery process. Check it out carolinejordanfitness.com/hurt-foot-coaching-program/ Id love to have you and help you heal!
This is my husband's account, but I (his wife) have been doing your videos for the last few months. I have chronic tendonitis and haven't been able to run or jump. I don't know what I would have done without you Caroline! Seriously, your videos have been a lifesaver physically and mentally. And I'm totally adding your floor workouts to my exercise routine even when I'm cleared to run!
I love your chair workout videos. I just committed to working out and eating a healthy diet again about 8 months ago. I was 16 pounds lighter and feeling great when I broke my foot a couple weeks ago. I really didn't want to get out of the workout habit or become totally sedentary with this injury and your workouts are just fabulous to keep me moving. Bless you for doing this!!!
good workout! I'm a 71 year old male who broke his foot 6 weeks ago. My left foot is in a boot that weights 2.5 lbs. I have an ankle weight on the right, same weight. Try doing this routine with the extra leg weights! Pretty intense!
After being in a boot for a month already, I came across this video. You say at the end to repeat if we feel necessary. I loved the first 18 minutes so much that I replayed it right away! Over 30 minutes of these exercises and DANG! I am sore today. I've been working out for 20 years and this hit all the spots I often neglect. THANK YOU! Even when the boot comes off, I'll be doing this workout for sure! Thanks!
Thanks for the inspiration Caroline. Love your Hurt Foot videos. Saved my sanity during UK lockdowns, 3 bone cancer surgeries on my foot & leg, & recovery from chemotherapy. I feel stronger than to you xxx
my mom and i do this my my hurt her foot and this helps i started to do this everyday. thank you for this sweet Caroline. BA BA BAA Eidt: 2.25.2023 I'm still doing this with my mom and I'm feeling proud of myself
Thank you. I have foot neuromas and can neither jog nor walk with ease nor will I be able to. Your particular videos changed what I thought wasn't possible anymore in the way of exercise, and this one was my start. Your energy, vigor, positivity, - too many good qualities to list here... I'm very, very grateful as well for the compassion and understanding. Thank you again.
I have gained weight since spraining/fracturing my ankle on Easter. It still hasn’t healed because it’s impossible for me to keep still. I have gained weight because of this injury, quarantine, my loss of work, and my SSRI. This video helped me SO MUCH! I was giggling, smiling, and sweating! Your positive and healthy attitude is what really did it for me. You’re a great teacher!! Thank you!!!
I found your hurt foot videos about a week ago. Broke a bone in my foot and wanted to stay fit while healing. I love your videos! Thank you for thinking of us busy healing.
June 2018 had a sanders 2 and navicular ankle break. 12 screws and a plate. Use to run 4 mile 6 days a week. I’m 61. Former Sgt USMC. My wife did vids like this and I would laugh. After a month of depression, I needed something cardio, something to make me sweat. Seeing someone in recovery with a positive attitude and a plan was inspirational and motivating. I do one of these vids everyday and this Marine smiles when I throw a sweaty T-shirt in the hamper. Thanks and speedy recovery to all. Simper Fi.
WOW - thank you Caroline! 62 year old runner here with a ruptured plantar fascia! I'm in a cast and had fallen into a self-pity slump - this workout rescued my spirit! Thank you again!
Yesterday I found out that I've been running on a sprained ankle. My podiatrist said I can't do any lower body exercise ( including speed walking, cycling and using the elliptical) for the next two months. I nearly cried when I realized that I wouldn't be able to workout the way I want to, but this video helped me to discover a new way of exercise during my recovery. Thank you. 💜💚💜💚 P.s. And yes, I was very sweaty at the end!
I broke my ankle playing pickle ball and I was crying afterwards saying, "there goes my workouts" rather than crying over the pain on the injury. Thank you for providing workout videos that are so positive. I appreciate it!
This is the best! I have bad ankles that restricts me from most stand up exercise routines. I couldn’t believe how this chair cardio had me sweating in a few short minutes! This chair cardio is so good that I am going to start doing this every morning and evening. It’s only 20 minutes, which is the recommended daily minimum. As Americans some of us have so much trouble with weight. This quick and effective routine should be mandatory for all, especially in this Pandemic. This routine should have its own channel on cable TV that just runs all day. I can’t believe how much I sweat! This routine is the bomb.com. I am 62 and if I can do it, anyone can. In fact, it is a good routine for seniors as well. I am glad I found it, 😅
My sister (11) broke her leg one week into summer vacation. She's very athletic and has been so bored and ready to run the past month and this video made her feel so much like herself today! thank you!
Thank you Caroline. In a few days I will have ankle surgery and I found your channel. Did the first three in a row, and my wife came in and did the third one with me. Thanks. Love the clapping thing in the 3rd video. Didn't see that one coming!
I’m 5 weeks after breaking small bone and rolling over my ankle and have been feeling despondent lately as I’m normally a very fit and active person. I came across this video by chance, or was it ?! And Caroline, you made me smile. I sweat during the workout, my heart pumped and I realized I can still keep my cardio going even though I can’t jump up and down!!! Thank you so much, I feel my endorphins once again! Xxx
More, more, more like this one please! 30 minutes? I'm waiting for a total hip replacement so I modify a lot. This video is the closest to being challenging for someone who uses a wheelchair (I work out in a workout bench) yet needs an intensive workout (weightloss goals to qualify for said surgery). Thank you. (I had to write now because I may not be thinking kind thoughts tomorrow 🙃.
Thank you so much for your hurt foot videos, having broken my ankle whilst running during to the COVID lockdown, I felt a prisoner at home after being fitted with a boot. Then I found your channel, not only do I excercise with you wearing my boot , you've taught me how I can still do gardening & house work using your techniques , engaging abs , keeping my boot off the ground. The whole day is now a workout which feels fabulous. THANKYOU so much for keeping me sane & happy 💛
I fractured a sesamoid bone in my right foot on 11/3/17. I have been so discouraged and then I found you!!! I cannot thank you enough for this!! Because of your testimony of healing and fitness I feel so much more encouraged!!
That was AWESOME!!! Had gotten myself into a bit of a funk about my foot. Thank God I got myself to my computer and did a Hurt Foot Video! There is no way not to feel better, physically and mentally. NO WAY! Thanks yet again, you really are a blessing.
Hi Caroline, I just want to thank you for ALL of your hurt foot/ankle videos. I broke my fibula and ruptured numerous ankle ligaments just over three weeks ago and am so happy to be able to stay fit and strong while I'm recovering from surgery and am still even in a cast. I am so grateful. 🤗
Just discovered this, ruptured both Achilles’ tendons about 4 months ago, just did the chair workout, thank you SO much for this. Feeling super pumped and positive for the first time with everything that’s happened!! Deffo going to keep this chair workout up!!
Hello Caroline. First of all I would like to thank you for uploading this fantastic video. I injured my ankle last week. Not sure how. I’m 62 yo and am so used to doing brisk walking, running on the spot, etc so you can imagine how I feel. Having to rest my foot😢. Been doing this cardio workout of yours for 2 days now and it feels good. At least I’m not sedentary 😂. Thanks once again. You have a great day❤
Oh my god! I rarely ever comment on videos but man your workout really got me sweatin and going! After two weeks of not being able to move much with my ankle sprain, and with 2020 coming up really soon I was worried I wouldn't be able to celebrate the new decade with a body that feels fit and healthy. But you proved me wrong, and you helped me reach my 2019 goals! Not to mention your very positive and encouraging attitude, I literally smiled like an idiot the whole video. I really think you deserve many more followers. Thank you for this video!
Hi Caroline! I am recovering from a 5th metatarsal fracture and seriously believe I have kept my sanity by doing one of your workouts every day. Thank you so much! 😀
Thank god for Caroline! I just re-sprained my ankle after injuring it for the first time back in April. It's frustrating to be back here, but I didn't feel nearly the same amount of panic as the first time because I knew Caroline and her hurt ankle workouts were here to help me. Thank you so much for all the videos :)
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Caroline! I broke my foot (lisfranc fracture) in multiple places and have been in a cast for 4 months. I was just put in a moonboot and have been struggling with energy levels being very low. Your videos get me moving and your energy helps lift my mood. Thank you so much for creating such an awesome specialized workout. ❤️❤️❤️
Hey, I'm a wheelchair user AND I broke my foot and ankle two months ago. Whelp, I gained an astounding 30 pounds after surgery, which bums me out beyond belief because I lost 130 pounds after gaining weight the first time after my spinal surgery 6 years ago! I worked too hard to get that weight off!! I can't do everything since I'm partially paralyzed, but I'm adapting and adding soup cans to stuff like the jumping jacks for added difficulty. It's really hard to find seated workouts just for people that are paralyzed or can't use their legs, so it would be great to see a workout that people can do without the use of our legs and such. Thank you for having so many great exercises for those of us having to sit down!!
I sprained my ankle yesterday and was quite worried since my main exercises is walking. Someone told me about cardio chair workouts, I found this one, and now I know I’ll be ok! My heart rate was up, I worked many parts of my body, and my ankle didn’t take any impact. Thank you!!!!
Dislocated my ankle 4 days ago and was desperate to find a cardio workout I could do. I get v grumpy when I can’t exercise. This workout was excellent and will help my family loads!!!! Brilliant thank you xxx
I just love you! I am finally starting to transition out of a boot from Achilles reconstruction surgery. It is because of your videos I have not gained weight while basically being in a cast or boot for four months and I always feel better after. Thank you for what you do. Some days I get very down and miss my cardio. I always look forward to your videos and you challenge us despite the injury.
I'm four months into my healing and recovery from a broken femur and I totally understand you!! I miss my cardio and boot camp classes. This video has helped me keep going . I hope your doing well
Thank you for posting! I am a fitness instructor and had Achilles reconstruction surgery 10 days ago...this was the longest I had not worked out since I had my youngest 11 years ago! I enjoyed the workout and can't wait to try more!!! I'm still only 50% weight bearing on my foot with crutches so the chair was great!!! I also have chronic low back pain due to scoliosis, so anything to help that or core strengthening would be helpful too!
I broke my foot yesterday ( metatarsal #5.) I am an avid cyclist and trail runner and honestly am struggling a lot right now accepting this. Thank you for this inspiration. I love you energy.
Thank you so much for these videos o went from 2hrs of workouts and 20k steps a day to barely 3k and no workouts ... Was getting depressed until I found your videos 🙂I can express enough gratitude.
Finally! I'm 72, I've been an active outdoors person (fell running, hiking, rock-climbing) all my adult life but a climbing accident ten years ago, and the ensuing COR (=Carry On Regardless) behaviour exacerbated the ankle injury until, two years ago, the pain and symptoms changed and magnified enormously. I found a medical practitioner (fell runner) who gave me remedial treatment, brought back flexibility to the damaged ankle but the years of COR have caused nerve damage and I can NOT run any more. I need some extra cardio exercise and this video of yours seems to be exactly what I need. THANK YOU!
It's freezing outside right now here and I don't have enough workout space in my dorm. This workout is the perfect cardio for me! I just hope my heart doesn't get sore. 'Cause it's Valentine's Day, you know. :))
I'm a really active person, my brain can't function properly without physical movement. I tore all the tendons in my knee and I'm waiting for surgery. This cardio was so great, I got to move, raise my heart rate and best of all your positive attitude and energy made me laugh! Thank you! I look forward to using this video on a daily basis!
Thank you for this! Was very upset to sprain my ankle running, as running is my main coping skill for my mental health! Glad to have found this channel, I need some cardio! I guess I will be doing a lot more of your youtube the next few weeks!
THANK YOU!!!! I fell and twisted my ankle & fractured my fibula and thought I was done for 6 weeks and sooo depressed. Then I found your workout! Your coaching is funny, insightful, I love the options you give when you cannot move your foot and overall it's just pure fun! I would normally hit the pool with a buoy between my legs and drag and I did not ever think I would ever do a chair workout but with COVID and everything closed, I am so grateful for your workout. My heart rate went up and I feel great, cannot wait to do it again tomorrow!
At 48, I had to have a partial knee replacement -- it did not go well, so I had to have another to repair. I have been feeling so horrible as I can't move well at all. I found these videos a few weeks ago and have been doing one every day or so. Oh my goodness, I feel so much better just for doing something physical! Thank you!!! I hope it helps me get in better shape for when I can finally walk without pain again...Thank you!!!
I’ve been so frustrated with a foot injury. This workout made a big difference to my day. Thank you for the intensity of the workout and the emotional encouragement. What a gift you have given
join us at www.hurtfootfitness.com/ Emma! I have SO much more to offer you there on the road to recovery! You dont have to heal alone, im here for you!
Yes you can say I'm glistening that's what I call it. I enjoyed the workout. Thank you for doing workouts in the chair. I think these are easier for me to remember, so if I don't have access to your video I can still do the routine
Not yet! But I'm planning on it. I also want to enroll in the hurt foot program. I'm getting married in November, so I need this tibia to heal ASAP and stay in shape! You're a life saver!!
It’s on my list, first thing tomorrow and so excited! Within only a week of my second stress fracture this year, your positive, encouraging, attitude and high-energy workouts have made non-running life a bit more tolerable. Thank you! Getting ready to box first thing tomorrow like someone stole my race training ... but gave me a fantastic speed back-up plan :)
Your workouts are great...I have an ankle broken in 3 places that I had surgery on and I'm 7 months pregnant...I watch your videos with Beyonce in the background and feel sooo much better...and you have the kindest heart! thanks for your spirit!
Hey Caroline! It's Donna here :) ! Yes, I did crack a sweat and got my HR to 135! You made me lol and again encouraged me to persevere this crazy injury! Many, many thanks! ❤
Thanks so much Caroline for putting together these videos! I had lapiplasty surgery on my right foot and was itching to get back into physical activities a week later. I found your videos and workout to 4 of them. They have been key to getting me through this recovery mentally and physically! You are awesome!! 👍🤩👍❤
I badly sprained my ankle this is the 2nd time in 5 years this time I Won't let my injury define me. Thank you very much for your help. I will be forever grateful
i've struggled with my mental health for years, and i found that working out has really helped me in coping with that. tho i recently injured my foot so i've been really limited in what exercise i can do, which has been difficult. these chair workouts are life savers, letting me feel challenged while respecting what my body needs. thank you so much :)
Thank you Caroline. I have had surgery on my big toe joint a week ago. As a BRCA survivor I need to exercise every day, and my mental health and mood both depend on it as well! I have now done three of your chair cardio workouts and I am so glad to have found them / you. Your positive, upbeat spirit makes me feel great. I think my family probably thank you as well! I am now able to feel good and keep up my exercise regime during my recovery.
Thank you so much for your videos. You keep up a strong pace both physically and verbally which is great because it doesn't let the self pity tapes start playing. You are such a good teacher and have a great sense of humor. Bless you for what you are doing.. I feet motivated watching you. Thank you so much...
I broke both ankles in a car accident and wanted to exercise. Bless you for thinking about people with disabilities. You don't think about it till it happens to you. Thank you. I am doing WW and love this video.😍😄
I’m also doing weight watchers and I love this video as well
Me too!
I am also doing WW and I have just started doing Caroline’s video. I am feeling motivated and I look forward to getting good results. ❤❤
I"d been so proud of myself for exercising almost every day- and then I hurt my foot exercising! I'm determined not to get out of the habit and you're helping me- thank you so much! This is great!
Omg same!!!!! I was on a great streak til I got injured 😭😭
I feel ya mate. I've been hit with an ankle injury today. Hope this would help me.
ima kickboxer those box techniques are laughable, but then again this is no boxing training. its cardio
The hart love reaction thing, its the only love i got in 1,5 years fu im lonely.
and it certainly did and is still helping me during this whole COVID19 lockdown period. Thank you
I almost cried watching your videos. I have horrible plantar fasciitis with nerve entrapment. I felt like I couldn't do the workouts I wanted. I can't even walk some days. Thank you soooooo much !
I have it too, but not with nerve entrapment. May I suggest you try throwing a plastic water bottle in the freezer and using that (instead of a lacrosse ball, for instance) to sit and roll your foot/feet over, daily? It's incredibly good for plantar's fasciitis and has helped me a lot. The ice in the bottle numbs your foot a bit, while you roll it around. Feels great and no danger. :)
I suffer from that too. So painful. Love this video!
oh I hear you !!! I had it for three years, nothing worked. Then a friend who had it so bad in both feet that she was using a walker, recommended a physiotherapist. A month of firm pressure massage and me doing a lot of exercises involving a lacrosse ball and two foam wedges and it has been gone for over two years. Best feeling EVER!

I'm autistic I'm not broken anything.. but i do this my mom. and she hurt her foot
Dear Caroline, Your chair workouts have been a real ENCOURAGEMENT to me! I broke my 5th metatarsal bone in my right foot, and went from walking 4 miles a day, to wondering "WHAT WILL I DO NOW??" I found you...❤ and I know I will stay healthy during recovery now. I am 58 years old. This is my first broken bone. I will keep moving! Thank You!❤
It's a medicine for me,dear Caroline
I broke my ankle 9 months ago and gained 17 lbs. I still can't walk on it without pain, but I'm desperate and determined to get this weight off. Thanks, Caroline Jordan! I this is an unbelievably helpful video- and I love the encouraging words you provide.

This was so helpful, both mentally and physically. I’ve been feeling very helpless after my injury. thank you!
Didn't know how I would exercise with a broken ankle but you are the salvation! Thank you much!

Once again, you are AMAZING Caroline. Can't thank you enough for the physical and psychological stregnthening workout!
You're so welcome!

Thank you! Nursing an injured toe right now and trying to stay active to keep my spirits up. This was perfect.
This is very helpful as I recover from ankle surgery. I view myself as a seasoned gym rat, and this is harder than I would have thought.
I am 73, have slowly been losing weight and getting back in shape over the past year. This is a perfect workout for me, thank you!
You got this!
Love the workouts. This is one of my favorites.
Thanks for the inspiration Caroline. Love your Hurt Foot videos. Saved my sanity during UK lockdowns, 3 bone cancer surgeries on my foot & leg, & recovery from chemotherapy. I feel stronger than to you xxx

Eidt: 2.25.2023
I'm still doing this with my mom and I'm feeling proud of myself
Thank you. I have foot neuromas and can neither jog nor walk with ease nor will I be able to. Your particular videos changed what I thought wasn't possible anymore in the way of exercise, and this one was my start. Your energy, vigor, positivity, - too many good qualities to list here... I'm very, very grateful as well for the compassion and understanding. Thank you again.
Hi Caroline...I don't know what I would do without your chair cardio videos...keep'm comin'!!
Thank you for making my life with a foot injury a little less crappy!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!! This is helping my mental health in the midst of starting school with a boot!
I have gained weight since spraining/fracturing my ankle on Easter. It still hasn’t healed because it’s impossible for me to keep still. I have gained weight because of this injury, quarantine, my loss of work, and my SSRI. This video helped me SO MUCH! I was giggling, smiling, and sweating! Your positive and healthy attitude is what really did it for me. You’re a great teacher!! Thank you!!!
Thank you!
I found your hurt foot videos about a week ago. Broke a bone in my foot and wanted to stay fit while healing. I love your videos! Thank you for thinking of us busy healing.
Had foot surgery on May 17th in Boston . No exercise or movement suggestions - this is just terrific! Loved this one and yes I "sparkled"
the best one i found on the internet without hurting knees
I do not comment on RUclips vids but honestly...this is awesome! I love it because there's no slacking. This is not easy at all.
June 2018 had a sanders 2 and navicular ankle break. 12 screws and a plate. Use to run 4 mile 6 days a week. I’m 61. Former Sgt USMC. My wife did vids like this and I would laugh. After a month of depression, I needed something cardio, something to make me sweat. Seeing someone in recovery with a positive attitude and a plan was inspirational and motivating. I do one of these vids everyday and this Marine smiles when I throw a sweaty T-shirt in the hamper. Thanks and speedy recovery to all. Simper Fi.
WOW - thank you Caroline! 62 year old runner here with a ruptured plantar fascia! I'm in a cast and had fallen into a self-pity slump - this workout rescued my spirit! Thank you again!
Yesterday I found out that I've been running on a sprained ankle. My podiatrist said I can't do any lower body exercise ( including speed walking, cycling and using the elliptical) for the next two months. I nearly cried when I realized that I wouldn't be able to workout the way I want to, but this video helped me to discover a new way of exercise during my recovery. Thank you. 💜💚💜💚 P.s. And yes, I was very sweaty at the end!
I broke my ankle playing pickle ball and I was crying afterwards saying, "there goes my workouts" rather than crying over the pain on the injury. Thank you for providing workout videos that are so positive. I appreciate it!
One of the best chair cardio videos I’ve found!
Yay! Thank you!
This is the best! I have bad ankles that restricts me from most stand up exercise routines. I couldn’t believe how this chair cardio had me sweating in a few short minutes! This chair cardio is so good that I am going to start doing this every morning and evening. It’s only 20 minutes, which is the recommended daily minimum. As Americans some of us have so much trouble with weight. This quick and effective routine should be mandatory for all, especially in this Pandemic. This routine should have its own channel on cable TV that just runs all day. I can’t believe how much I sweat! This routine is the bomb.com. I am 62 and if I can do it, anyone can. In fact, it is a good routine for seniors as well. I am glad I found it, 😅
My sister (11) broke her leg one week into summer vacation. She's very athletic and has been so bored and ready to run the past month and this video made her feel so much like herself today! thank you!
Thank you Caroline. In a few days I will have ankle surgery and I found your channel. Did the first three in a row, and my wife came in and did the third one with me. Thanks. Love the clapping thing in the 3rd video. Didn't see that one coming!
I’m 5 weeks after breaking small bone and rolling over my ankle and have been feeling despondent lately as I’m normally a very fit and active person. I came across this video by chance, or was it ?! And Caroline, you made me smile. I sweat during the workout, my heart pumped and I realized I can still keep my cardio going even though I can’t jump up and down!!! Thank you so much, I feel my endorphins once again! Xxx
More, more, more like this one please! 30 minutes? I'm waiting for a total hip replacement so I modify a lot. This video is the closest to being challenging for someone who uses a wheelchair (I work out in a workout bench) yet needs an intensive workout (weightloss goals to qualify for said surgery). Thank you. (I had to write now because I may not be thinking kind thoughts tomorrow 🙃.
Thank you so much for your hurt foot videos, having broken my ankle whilst running during to the COVID lockdown, I felt a prisoner at home after being fitted with a boot.
Then I found your channel, not only do I excercise with you wearing my boot , you've taught me how I can still do gardening & house work using your techniques , engaging abs , keeping my boot off the ground. The whole day is now a workout which feels fabulous. THANKYOU so much for keeping me sane & happy 💛
Got sweaty! I hurt my knee and I'm glad you made this video so I can still get my heart pumping!
Thank you so much for enabling me to work out while my toe is broken, I love you for that!!!
Thankyou so much! I’m 1 week into a broken ankle and been freaking out that I won’t be able to work out. Thankfully I have found you ❤
I fractured a sesamoid bone in my right foot on 11/3/17. I have been so discouraged and then I found you!!! I cannot thank you enough for this!! Because of your testimony of healing and fitness I feel so much more encouraged!!
Whew! Sweating profusely! Thanks!
That was AWESOME!!! Had gotten myself into a bit of a funk about my foot. Thank God I got myself to my computer and did a Hurt Foot Video! There is no way not to feel better, physically and mentally. NO WAY! Thanks yet again, you really are a blessing.
I have been doing your exercises and have progressed well. Today I did this workout and did not have to stop to rest, I simply worked with you.
Hi Caroline, I just want to thank you for ALL of your hurt foot/ankle videos. I broke my fibula and ruptured numerous ankle ligaments just over three weeks ago and am so happy to be able to stay fit and strong while I'm recovering from surgery and am still even in a cast. I am so grateful. 🤗
Just discovered this, ruptured both Achilles’ tendons about 4 months ago, just did the chair workout, thank you SO much for this. Feeling super pumped and positive for the first time with everything that’s happened!! Deffo going to keep this chair workout up!!
I'm doing this while on Night shift and full police gear; thank you for the motivation.... plus it keeps me awake!
Broke my ankle in 3 places and am non weight bearing for 8 weeks...these videos are saving my sanity. Goes great with a chest and triceps day!
Hello Caroline. First of all I would like to thank you for uploading this fantastic video. I injured my ankle last week. Not sure how. I’m 62 yo and am so used to doing brisk walking, running on the spot, etc so you can imagine how I feel. Having to rest my foot😢.
Been doing this cardio workout of yours for 2 days now and it feels good. At least I’m not sedentary 😂.
Thanks once again. You have a great day❤
Fabulous exercise for me recovering from a hip injury. Thank you.
LOVE IT! Finally found a seated workout that gets my heart rate going and doesn’t ask me to stand up!
Caroline you are wonderful. I love doing all the exercises with you. God bless you. 🤗
Oh my god! I rarely ever comment on videos but man your workout really got me sweatin and going!
After two weeks of not being able to move much with my ankle sprain, and with 2020 coming up really soon I was worried I wouldn't be able to celebrate the new decade with a body that feels fit and healthy. But you proved me wrong, and you helped me reach my 2019 goals!
Not to mention your very positive and encouraging attitude, I literally smiled like an idiot the whole video. I really think you deserve many more followers. Thank you for this video!
Hi Caroline! I am recovering from a 5th metatarsal fracture and seriously believe I have kept my sanity by doing one of your workouts every day.
Thank you so much! 😀
Wow please do more ankle friendly workouts their amazing . I’m trying to lose weight and tone and it’s working I’m really doing it
Thank god for Caroline! I just re-sprained my ankle after injuring it for the first time back in April. It's frustrating to be back here, but I didn't feel nearly the same amount of panic as the first time because I knew Caroline and her hurt ankle workouts were here to help me. Thank you so much for all the videos :)
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!! THAT WAS GREAT CAROLINE!! ❤️❤️👏👏
Glad you liked it!!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Caroline!
I broke my foot (lisfranc fracture) in multiple places and have been in a cast for 4 months. I was just put in a moonboot and have been struggling with energy levels being very low.
Your videos get me moving and your energy helps lift my mood.
Thank you so much for creating such an awesome specialized workout. ❤️❤️❤️
Join us at www.hurtfootfitness.com Gabrielle!! I have SO much more to offer you there!
Hey, I'm a wheelchair user AND I broke my foot and ankle two months ago. Whelp, I gained an astounding 30 pounds after surgery, which bums me out beyond belief because I lost 130 pounds after gaining weight the first time after my spinal surgery 6 years ago! I worked too hard to get that weight off!! I can't do everything since I'm partially paralyzed, but I'm adapting and adding soup cans to stuff like the jumping jacks for added difficulty. It's really hard to find seated workouts just for people that are paralyzed or can't use their legs, so it would be great to see a workout that people can do without the use of our legs and such. Thank you for having so many great exercises for those of us having to sit down!!
Been struggling with a foot injury for weeks that's kept me from jogging. Nothing was working for me until this video. Thank you!!
I sprained my ankle yesterday and was quite worried since my main exercises is walking. Someone told me about cardio chair workouts, I found this one, and now I know I’ll be ok! My heart rate was up, I worked many parts of my body, and my ankle didn’t take any impact. Thank you!!!!
Dislocated my ankle 4 days ago and was desperate to find a cardio workout I could do. I get v grumpy when I can’t exercise. This workout was excellent and will help my family loads!!!! Brilliant thank you xxx
Thanks for your encouragement and these videos. I was getting my 10000 steps in now I have my Caroline videos 😃🦶🏼👍🏻💪🏼
Brilliant .! ...for everyone ! Especially if recovering from op or injury.👍👍
I just love you! I am finally starting to transition out of a boot from Achilles reconstruction surgery. It is because of your videos I have not gained weight while basically being in a cast or boot for four months and I always feel better after. Thank you for what you do. Some days I get very down and miss my cardio. I always look forward to your videos and you challenge us despite the injury.
I agree 100% with Elizabeth! You rock!!
I'm four months into my healing and recovery from a broken femur and I totally understand you!! I miss my cardio and boot camp classes. This video has helped me keep going . I hope your doing well
Thank you for posting! I am a fitness instructor and had Achilles reconstruction surgery 10 days ago...this was the longest I had not worked out since I had my youngest 11 years ago! I enjoyed the workout and can't wait to try more!!! I'm still only 50% weight bearing on my foot with crutches so the chair was great!!! I also have chronic low back pain due to scoliosis, so anything to help that or core strengthening would be helpful too!
I broke my foot yesterday ( metatarsal #5.) I am an avid cyclist and trail runner and honestly am struggling a lot right now accepting this. Thank you for this inspiration. I love you energy.
Thank you so much for these videos o went from 2hrs of workouts and 20k steps a day to barely 3k and no workouts ... Was getting depressed until I found your videos 🙂I can express enough gratitude.
Finally! I'm 72, I've been an active outdoors person (fell running, hiking, rock-climbing) all my adult life but a climbing accident ten years ago, and the ensuing COR (=Carry On Regardless) behaviour exacerbated the ankle injury until, two years ago, the pain and symptoms changed and magnified enormously. I found a medical practitioner (fell runner) who gave me remedial treatment, brought back flexibility to the damaged ankle but the years of COR have caused nerve damage and I can NOT run any more. I need some extra cardio exercise and this video of yours seems to be exactly what I need. THANK YOU!
This was so great. I was definitely sweating. I’m so glad I found your videos
THANK YOU, Caroline, for a chair workout that really WORKS!
It's freezing outside right now here and I don't have enough workout space in my dorm. This workout is the perfect cardio for me!
I just hope my heart doesn't get sore. 'Cause it's Valentine's Day, you know. :))
Thank you for this. I am at home with a sprained foot and needed my cardio.
I'm a really active person, my brain can't function properly without physical movement. I tore all the tendons in my knee and I'm waiting for surgery. This cardio was so great, I got to move, raise my heart rate and best of all your positive attitude and energy made me laugh! Thank you! I look forward to using this video on a daily basis!
Hoping you a speedy recovery!!!!!!!
And yes, it beats all the other chair videos I've seen!
Thank you for this! Was very upset to sprain my ankle running, as running is my main coping skill for my mental health! Glad to have found this channel, I need some cardio! I guess I will be doing a lot more of your youtube the next few weeks!
THANK YOU!!!! I fell and twisted my ankle & fractured my fibula and thought I was done for 6 weeks and sooo depressed. Then I found your workout! Your coaching is funny, insightful, I love the options you give when you cannot move your foot and overall it's just pure fun! I would normally hit the pool with a buoy between my legs and drag and I did not ever think I would ever do a chair workout but with COVID and everything closed, I am so grateful for your workout. My heart rate went up and I feel great, cannot wait to do it again tomorrow!
My first time with you and boy did I feel the burn. Sweating like a horse here! THANK YOU!!!
At 48, I had to have a partial knee replacement -- it did not go well, so I had to have another to repair. I have been feeling so horrible as I can't move well at all. I found these videos a few weeks ago and have been doing one every day or so. Oh my goodness, I feel so much better just for doing something physical! Thank you!!! I hope it helps me get in better shape for when I can finally walk without pain again...Thank you!!!
I’ve been so frustrated with a foot injury. This workout made a big difference to my day. Thank you for the intensity of the workout and the emotional encouragement. What a gift you have given
join us at www.hurtfootfitness.com/ Emma! I have SO much more to offer you there on the road to recovery! You dont have to heal alone, im here for you!
Yes you can say I'm glistening that's what I call it. I enjoyed the workout. Thank you for doing workouts in the chair. I think these are easier for me to remember, so if I don't have access to your video I can still do the routine
This is fantastic! Definitely a hot sweaty mess after just 20 minutes. This injured runner appreciates the chair running. Thank you, Caroline!
Not yet! But I'm planning on it. I also want to enroll in the hurt foot program. I'm getting married in November, so I need this tibia to heal ASAP and stay in shape! You're a life saver!!
It’s on my list, first thing tomorrow and so excited! Within only a week of my second stress fracture this year, your positive, encouraging, attitude and high-energy workouts have made non-running life a bit more tolerable. Thank you! Getting ready to box first thing tomorrow like someone stole my race training ... but gave me a fantastic speed back-up plan :)
Your workouts are great...I have an ankle broken in 3 places that I had surgery on and I'm 7 months pregnant...I watch your videos with Beyonce in the background and feel sooo much better...and you have the kindest heart! thanks for your spirit!
Hey Caroline! It's Donna here :) ! Yes, I did crack a sweat and got my HR to 135! You made me lol and again encouraged me to persevere this crazy injury! Many, many thanks! ❤
Thanks so much Caroline for putting together these videos! I had lapiplasty surgery on my right foot and was itching to get back into physical activities a week later. I found your videos and workout to 4 of them. They have been key to getting me through this recovery mentally and physically! You are awesome!! 👍🤩👍❤
Thank you SOOO much for this amazing compassionate chair cardio video! just out of foot surgery and seriously appreciate finding this🙏🏽🫀👣❤️
This was the best. I'm a runner with a broken foot. I'm only 1 week into my injury and was able to do this. I'll be back for more later. Thanks!
I'm 73 years old and love this video! I hurt my foot and this is perfect. thank you!
You are saving my mental health ! with my ankle ligament tear. Thanks a ton! So Grateful for this.
I badly sprained my ankle this is the 2nd time in 5 years this time I Won't let my injury define me. Thank you very much for your help. I will be forever grateful
i've struggled with my mental health for years, and i found that working out has really helped me in coping with that. tho i recently injured my foot so i've been really limited in what exercise i can do, which has been difficult. these chair workouts are life savers, letting me feel challenged while respecting what my body needs. thank you so much :)
Thank you Caroline. I have had surgery on my big toe joint a week ago. As a BRCA survivor I need to exercise every day, and my mental health and mood both depend on it as well! I have now done three of your chair cardio workouts and I am so glad to have found them / you. Your positive, upbeat spirit makes me feel great. I think my family probably thank you as well! I am now able to feel good and keep up my exercise regime during my recovery.
Exercise with broken ankle is great. My aunty suggested stretches which i do. But watching a video and doing them is encouraging.
Thank you so much for your videos. You keep up a strong pace both physically and verbally which is great because it doesn't let the self pity tapes start playing. You are such a good teacher and have a great sense of humor. Bless you for what you are doing.. I feet motivated watching you. Thank you so much...
Thank you Caroline you are curing more fracture blues !
