10 Minute Beginner Chair Exercises for Seniors (no equipment needed)

Thank you so much for this brilliant short chair workout. I'm very unfit since Covid and this was just what I needed. Not too long which usually puts me off and I could tell it was proper exercise because I got slightly out of breath. Brilliant thank you again 👍😘🤗

Make sure you choose a chair that you can place your feet flat on the floor .. eegads, learned that the hard way 😆

😀THANK YOU! Really enjoyed –

1. You got right into the program, didn't spend three minutes trying to sell me something

2. Kept the program moving along

3. Varied between the upper and lower body very well

4. Gave good insight into where you should be feeling the actions on your body

5. No nonsense, no condescending or patronizing attitude, just respectful instructions

Really appreciate it – I will definitely be passing along your YouTube ! Thanks!

Wonderful exactly what I needed thank you so much I’m doing this every day!

I'm new here I really like the way you did this and I'm going to try to keep coming back and looking at it almost every day and maybe look at some of your other videos thank you for doing this for those of us who are just getting started again I'm overweight need to lose the weight due to severe pinched nerve and I just can't move that much or walk long distances

What an experience. I really love it.Thank you .

❤❤❤❤❤

25 and doing this because stress and completely shut down my body to the point where this exercise is hard for me.

I know what I'm doing everyday at 5pm now 😀 thank you!

I really enjoyed this video I had alot.of problems with the leg exercises since I have RA, but by doing these exercises often, I hope to improve

thank you so much, that was wonderful 😊

I do love the workout program ❤keep them coming

I do love your workout and love your back ground ❤

After a car accident and back surgery I couldn't run anymore. I gave up on everything. Gained weight. I have been in pain even after surgery but these exercises were easy for me without causing pain. Though it did prove how out of shape i have gotten. I'm sure with continued exercises i will be able to move without pain. thank you so much for these.

Perfectly fitting….easy to manage… and so nice to listen. You have reached the sweet spot for seniors for sure. Thank you. 😊

thank you, that really helped and I'll do my best to repeat these every day

2 mins of the excercise I had to take a 10 min break. I know Im unfit tho.

UK 81yrs: Another great class thanks Jules. Perfect for wheelchair ❤

Freaking brilliant, I’m a 70 year young guy who retired about four years ago, I had a physical job , and my body fitness has suffered, since very little exercise. I do walk a lot , but this is perfect for me . Thank you so much 😊

Awesome

I love. That. Exercise. ❤❤❤

So, I turned 60 in April. I'm doing well; I lost 40 lbs from June 2023-June 2024. I am crippled by arthritis and have pretty poor range of motion & balance.

BUT: Between the lost weight and the basic seated exercises I've been doing, I CAN NOW RISE FROM A SEAT WITHOUT PUSHING OFF THE ARMS OF THE CHAIR OR A TABLE. I've needed to push against something for 20 years.

And I can touch my toes. It's been about 35 years for that.

I'm not here to brag. I'm here to affirm anyone trying to improve & tell you DON'T GIVE UP.

I'm literally a cripple who needs a walker for further than 100 feet, and needed a wheelchair for any distance beyond 1000 feet. Now that distance is 3000.

I'm probably in better shape than the year I turned 50! Certainly, I am healthier than I was at 40. I was 277 pounds, my cholesterol was through the roof & my diabetes got diagnosed then with an A1c3 of 11.4.

However, all of you whose doctor's keep telling them "You'll feel better if you lose weight", I must say that's only partially true. When I was 277lbs, I merely needed a cane & could still walk for miles. Stairs were no issue.

Here I am down to 175lbs and rejoicing because I got the rollator walker to the drug store whose door is 1000 feet from mine WITHOUT A REST!

Sorry to tell ya doc, the weight loss didn't magically cure my polyarthritis, although there has been some modest functional improvement because of gentle seated exercise & walking a bit more.

That feels so so good thanks

Do you know how many calories you burn if you do this workout?

❤ I actually felt that thank you and something I’ll do every morning and before I go to bed. I wish you had more

This was a very nice workout. I have foot surgery coming up where I’m in a cast for two weeks and in a boot for four so this will come in handy. Thank you.

I love these chair exercises. I would like to see one reducing belly fat.

I’m in 77 and need to increase my exercise & strength. So glad I found you on Utube. Today I needed to take breaks- I look forward to improving and getting to the point where these are too easy!
Thank you 😊

Really liked this exercise session, but will look for a different one that doesn’t have annoying background music noise

Excellent dear,i am a yoga teacher as well firness trainer but i wanted to teach my mom who is 60 years old some basic sitting exercises,i came through yours,from today i will start teaching her this.

How wonderful to get older people moving instead of being immobile all day. ❤

I love how you get straight to the exercises without a lot of BLAH BLAH BLAH. These are excellent gentle exercises that can be easily done according to ability.

Thank you so much we all need prayer – I need healing of my back pain and osteoporosis.

Thank you

thanks

Just found this and it seems just what I need. Age 73, was very very active until a shoulder injury two years ago and now knee arthritis. I need a routine that will work for me now, and this seems good. Thank you.

Good morning. I am a 75 yr old who used to be very active, barely sat down. Then my husband passed and I became very depressed. I also fight with neuropathy and fibromyalgia. It’s hard for me to walk, although I try to walk up to an hour several times a week. Biggest problem is finding shoes that don’t hurt my feet. I’m glad I found this channel as I’m going to try this. 😂

Enjoyed my exercise looking forward to tomorrow

Thanks so much jules that was a greatworkout luv lorraine❤🎉😢😮😮😮

I'm 45 years old and I do walk as much as I can. But because of medications I am overweight and ashamed to join a gym. I found your video and I've been doing it for 3 days. Hopefully I find the motivation to continue

Dankeschön

I been doing good his exercise with my mom and has helped her back and legs and motivated her plus it helps me get back into getting fit. Thanks.

I have let myself go. I used to walk a lot but now am the sole caregiver for my husband who has PSP. He can’t be left alone and although I get lots of help and support from my family they all work full time. I am now very overweight and unfit and this looks just the thing to get me moving again. Ni e to read all the comments from your followers. Wish me luck!! 😀😀

Thank you…I am starting 2day…I am so stiff…

Most always try to go to the doctor or somebody somewhere at her age she should be covered with Medicaid or Medicare, we've only got one body

Did like 2 minutes of this and I feel it. Gonna start doing at my desk at work. TY

This is great. I had a spinal reconstruction for 2 spine deformities. I’m now dealing with chronic pain because one of the rods broke and hardware failure. I’ve been going on short walks. Now I’ll be adding this to my daily routine. Thank you. I am also a new subscriber as of today!

Thank you ❤
