    I’m in tears, so I just did this for the 1st time and i did it from start to finish. I’m 5 ft and weight 300lbs and have psoriatic arthritis and fibromyalgia. I felt it working but not hurting me. I’m so happy right now because this means there is hope. Thank you so much.

    Genuinely love this... I'm not elderly or disabled, but I am very over weight and unfit. I can do this in my bedroom and none can see. It's fantastic. Might do it two or even three times a day.

    Nearly 5 years ago my daughter, my only child, passed away unexpectedly at 17 years old. I wasn't the healthiest at the time, was a little over weigh but had strong muscles and was generally fairly fit. The last 5 years my grief has taken its toll on my health and physical fitness. I'm much heavier now and my muscle tone is basically gone. I find myself constantly injuring myself. I want to get healthier but I've got 2 leg injuries that are taking a long time to heal due to my age, weight, and muscle tone. I was starting to think working out, getting some cardio in, and building some muscles was a lost cause. Today I found your video and did it twice, then followed up with a few easy strenght building muscles. I am so glad I found you.

    my weight problem has encroached to the point I can no longer walk or stand for more than 2 hours without pain and injury, and it took me a long time to realize the solution was chair exercise. these ones work well enough just sitting in my computer chair (it's a plus size chair and weighs 75 pounds so it doesn't roll easily) so i can simply set a reminder pop up to help me get these done twice a day until I can loose enough weight to walk again / give my injuries time to heal. thanks for this! your friendly and non-patronizing attitude works just great!

  • @dppeachsynapse
    @dppeachsynapse 2 года назад +7

    Thank you for this. Usually exercise programs like this say things like "see how easy" and "no reason you can't do this, and why not do more!" and i just end up feeling like a failure for not finding it easy or fun. You keep it friendly and focused without judgment. It makes a difference.

    @viviandeville9761 2 года назад +2

    So… I started this today. I’m obese and have VERY limited mobility. I will admit…I struggle with the leg lifts but I pushed thru as best I could. After it was done…I wasn’t even out of breath and didn’t feel defeated. I will do this everyday. Thank you for creating this simple routine. It’s a GREAT starter for someone who can’t “just exercise” due to many medical issues as well as obesity. I need this.

    I deal with a lot of pelvic pain and haven't quite been the same since my hysterectomy. Dealing with a fair bit of pain today but I was still able to complete the workout in one go. Its nice to feel like I have accomplished something, even though my pain levels are high.

    I have CFS and before I watched this video I hadn't been exercising for about 2 years. The first time I did this, I had to take breaks like 3 times. Now I can do this without any break and even do more intense exercise than this. I still use this video on days when I'm feeling too tired but still want to keep my body moving. Thank you for making this video!

    Thank you so much! I have a condition called exercise induced vasculitis. It’s basically where if I do any form of physical activity like walking, running biking ect for more then a couple minutes I get severe rashes on my legs. Doing stuff like this makes me feel more active and makes me feel really good about myself! Thank you!

    Now it feels really easy.

    I'm starting this today. I'm morbidly obese, I almost never work out, I'm always sitting down or laying down, so I have almost no activity day to day, and I'm tired of feeling so sick all the time. 24/7... But I can't do those harder type work outs. So I decided to find something that can just start me off somewhere. I'm going to try doing this 1-2 times a day. And I'm going to try cutting out a lot of unhealthy foods. Because, I'm ashamed to admit it, but I think I have a food addiction. After I quit smoking cigarettes, it got worse, and I often find myself over eating.

I'm trying, to get back into somewhat of shape again, and to get into a new routine, to find my old self as much as possible. Alot has happened and I'm way out of focus on myself and my health. I'm looking for something like this video to get my brain working on fitness again. this video is a perfect way to get myself moving again!

    I’m in a wheelchair due to Osteogenesis Imperfecta, which is a brittle bones disease. I can’t workout much because any minor wrong step or movement might and has caused a fracture in the past, but this workout was very easy on joints and bones, except for twisting the torso and neck, that could end pretty badly for me.
    I will definitely continue to do this daily!
