    I chose this workout because I had a brain tumor removed that took my left side. It’s mostly back, but the messages don’t get to my left leg so well, so other workouts frustrate me bc it’s hard to keep time with my left leg. I am now also type 2 diabetic, and I need to get back on track! I still had trouble moving my left leg to this, but it was less frustrating & you were encouraging. Will keep it up! I want off these meds!!

    I used to be very fit and healthy then life happened and between being busy and injuries that slowed me down I put on a lot of weight which makes it difficult to think about exercise. Many beginner exercise routines were just too difficult for me to do and I can't get on the floor cause I can't get back up. On top of that I was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I have very and about to give up and just do the gastric bypass, however, after doing your beginning chair workout I am trying one more time to put myself back together. It wasn't easy for me, but it is something I CAN do and work with. My goal is to loose 45 lbs by summer's end, and then since I have well over a hundred pounds to loose, I will set a new goal.

I felt like I'd had a great workout, it got my heart rate up and I could feel my muscles working. And it gave me energy to start the day. Thanks for all the chair exercises, Caroline. I have foot and ankle issues that make standing exercises difficult, so these chair exercises are just what I need. And I love your delivery. You're supportive and encouraging. Keep it up. Amazing!

  • @kellyberggren2007

    Im 62. Relatively thin but I hate to work out. I have a knee that starts to hurt if I do anything that stresses it. So as soon as I start a jogging workout, I quit because I limp after that. I have a free membership to a gym(because of where my husband works) but to be honest, I don't like that either because then I have to re- fix my hair after I work out. I know, first world problems. This is great because I don't have to do anything but get up. No one sees me, so I don't have to "get ready" to go to the gym. And then" get ready" when I leave. I only mess with that once a day after my work out. Yay!

    Thank you very much! This is by far the most comfortable chair fitness exercise I’ve ever done! I love it so much I’ve actually replayed and did it for morning, noon and night. Plus in between times when I’m feeling stressed. Your voice is so calming and positive🥰 I’m doing aquatic therapy to keep the weight off my joints. Your chair exercise works out perfectly when I don’t feel like getting into the water🥰

As someone who has always been super active I’ve been struggling to find ways to get my body moving, but also let it heal itself. I’m now in a cast and to be able to have workout that gets me sweating but also feeling safe for my injury means so much to me! :)

  • @lodestoneTMLR
    @lodestoneTMLR 25 дней назад

    Hi Caroline, I've done a couple of your videos, love the energy! As background, I have about 20 yrs of experience and training working out (strength training- light and heavy, pilates last few years, TRX at home the gym and pilates studio, plus LOTS of outdoor activities), and pretty good muscle-mind connection. 8 weeks ago I had foot surgery, 17 screws and hopefully next week partial weight bearing can start if xrays look good. Needed to start some conditioning in addition to the matt/core stuff I've been doing at home, so I did the 20 minute chair cardio you have. The walking/stepping in the chair was a bit touchy, as I had to gingerly put down my renewed foot (I've never said "bad" knee, shoulder or foot after my surgery, only 'new' or renewed 🙂). I may try it in the boot next time. My Garmin Fenix said 146calories, HR 134-147 so I got something out of it, excited to do more!) Anyway, MY QUESTION is- even though I'm (trying to) engage my abs/core in the chair workouts, is there any way I can get "it" out of my hip flexors doing the walking/stepping? I was feeling it after the first few minutes, and I don't want those to get too tight and then have lower back pain. TBH this is after 8 weeks that included a lot of foot above the heart position for swelling, crutch use & knee scooter. Does form or sitting on the front or back of the seat make a difference? I did injure my back years ago from too much road biking and not enough stretching, don't want that to happen again. THANKS for reply.

      Hi Anna :)
      I started with bed workouts. Listen to your body. Dont try to "push through" just to finish. You will get stronger and more fit over time, no need to push beyond what your body can take today and end up injuring yourself further.
      Are you in physical therapy? I'm sure they can give you some pointers about how to ease into a movement habit.
      I love it when Caroline says "movement is medicine." It's so true. It helps me with my mental health too:)
      I started at 2minutes a day. That's all I could handle. It took quite a bit of time but I'm building my strength and endurance.
      Whatever level you are at right now, truly from my heart I am so proud of you for showing up for yourself. For me that was the hardest step.
      ✌️💞☺️
      Have a great day!

    Good afternoon Ms. Jordan. My name is Morla Moseby. I am a 58 year old female who has been struggling with my weight for years. I am 5' 5" and I weigh almost 300 lbs. I eat as a buffer for my depression and anxiety. I want to lose weight and can't seem to get started on a safe and healthy exercise and diet plan. Do you have any suggestions? Please help me. I don't want to die like this.

    Basically I’m a lazy person. I’m now 69 and underwent knee surgeries. I’m finding these exercises suitable to my lazy nature 😊

    im a FOWG.....and and you go waaaay too fast for me. Also, Im sure the video format requires that you bust out as many moves as you can. But I need more time between movements. Otherwise , thanks for your work. I will try and ease into it. I have Lumbar issues also ...Gotta go easy ...
