    7 days of doing this and your core/ab workout, from a wheelchair, and my range of motion has improved dramatically! I could not do more than an inch for the rotator cuff movement, and not able to face palms all the way to front. Now I can not only face palms to front, but have about a 6 inch comfortable movement to the side. THANK YOU! I LOVE YOUR WORKOUTS!

    Dear Meredith:
    I started working out with you in February of 2023 and was so excited that I found a gym substitute with a certified physical trainer who motivated excellent form and a desire to be fit as a senior. Unfortunately, within weeks of becoming so excited about your channel and the opportunities it offered for safe exercise, I was playing pickle ball and broke my tibia plateau in several places and also my clavicle. I required surgery on both, and I was immobilized for three months. I lost all tone in my right leg. I’ve since been in PT for four months to regain mobility in the shin and knee joint. In the last six weeks I’ve returned to your RUclips channel and feel blessed with countless seated exercise routines that have enabled me to gain both upper body and lower body strength. I do not know what I would do without your channel. I have told my PT to recommend it to everyone she sees. Thank you so much for your motivation and your expertise. I see it as an invaluable alternative to becoming injured at the gym, as well as a wonderful asset to anyone who wants to extend their physical therapy in the comfort of their own home. Blessings to you and your staff.

    After searching thru numerous videos by crazy fit women that don't look realistic I came across Meredith. So refreshing to see this, she looks professional with appropriate upper body workouts.

    What is so nice about these seated workouts is last night I had a bout of insomnia so my energy level today is very low. I was able to at least complete this upper body seated resistance workout today. I feel much better. Tomorrow is another day!
    Thank you sweet Meredith. 😃👍🙏

    Hi Meredith, we appreciate the great & varied workouts, due to the time difference we cannot watch them live, so I save them & replay the sessions at 6 am Australian time when we have our first session, Thank You from the Fraser Shores TOGS (terribly old geezers)

    • @SeniorFitnessWithMeredith

      Hi Arthur! I am so happy you found the channel and you are enjoying the workouts. I love that you watch the Livestreams the next morning because of the time difference. I know it is difficult, but you are doing a great job sill getting that workout in...and with the other TOGS. That made me laugh:)
      I appreciate the support, I truly thank you!
      Keep up the great work! Take care and stay healthy, Meredith

    I am going to start my workout journey again with these chair workouts. I now have Vascular Vein Inefficiency which makes it hard for my blood to flow to my heart. Hopefully these workouts
    Can help me fight my extreme fatigue and can make me stronger🤷🏿‍♀️?

    Thanks for another great workout, Meredith. I really appreciate the way you explain the benefits of each exercise and why we do it.; like the smaller muscles, etc. I need to ask you if it is okay to do some of these sitting exercises, standing? My exercise chair has handles and it gets in the way of some . Thanks

    • @SeniorFitnessWithMeredith
      @SeniorFitnessWithMeredith  2 года назад

      Hi Varina! I am so happy you enjoy the workout! Yes, it is fine to do standing, as long as you can do so safely. Keep up the great work! Take care, Meredith

    Really love to follow your video to do exercises. Your RUclips is very useful especially I don’t want to go to gym during the pandemic. I want to do some exercise to firm my bicep. May I know work out on this video can help to do that?

    • @SeniorFitnessWithMeredith
      @SeniorFitnessWithMeredith  3 года назад +2

      Hi Tina! Thank you so much for the comment! I am so happy you found the channel and you enjoy the workouts. With this workout, the bicep curls we do are going to work the bicep muscle. Keep the elbows close to your side, and curl up towards the shoulder from the elbow joint. Keep up the great work!
      Take care, Meredith

    The exercise at min 3:40 ..can we do it while sitting straight/ upright or we have to lean back to the chair

    • @SeniorFitnessWithMeredith
      @SeniorFitnessWithMeredith  2 года назад

      Hello! Leaning back in the chair will target the chest muscles most, which is what the exercise is intended for. If you sit upright, the shoulders will work more, along with chest muscles. Do what feels best, but that is why the exercise is done leaning back:) Take care!

  • @lauralevitan1442
    @lauralevitan1442 2 года назад

    Hello Meredith I have been doing this video with 2 lb weights every other day. Do you think it’s better to do weights every day or every other day? And I haven’t seemed to be able to progress to 3 lbs yet and how do I know when I’m ready to progress another pound?

    • @SeniorFitnessWithMeredith
      @SeniorFitnessWithMeredith  2 года назад +1

      Hi Laura! Thank you for the comment! Every other day is best, to give the muscles a chance to rest and grow stronger. You will know when to progress when the 2lb weights get easy with no struggle when doing your sets. It takes time, so be patient and do what feels best. Take care, Merey
