- Thank you for joining me for this full body chair workout! All exercises are osteoporosis friendly and low impact. These fun exercises are to the beat of music and work the total body. We begin with cardio to increase the heart rate that is easy to follow along. We then move to the strength section. Here, we will perform strength building exercises for the upper body as well as our core. Grab a pair of dumbbells. I'm using two 3 pound (1.3KG) dumbbells for this video. Always start with a lighter weight if you are unsure. Soup cans or water bottles are great for you use as well. This workout is completed with great yoga inspired stretching that is perfect to work on your mobility and flexibility and will leave you feeling wonderful!

I was ready for a wheelchair and/or walker due to back pain and fear of falling.
Have been doing your videos for 6 weeks and have been feeling stronger everyday.
I’m more flexible and fluid. Thank you for helping me get back some quality of life.
Great job! That is amazing to hear Lee! keep up the great work :)
I like that you have so many seated workout videos for when I'm "not really feelin' it". I can still work up a sweat and get all of the benefits. I do really appreciate all that you do and the time commitment you and your family provide to all of us.
You're so welcome Gail, I'm glad you are enjoying the variety of workouts :)
These videos are perfect for me as a beginner and a senior. Not too hard, but not too easy either. I really like them.
Great to hear! Thank you Annette :)
I have been doing one of your other beginners/senior workouts for 2 weeks now, and I noticed a huge difference in my bending and reaching! Your workouts may look slow to some, but these REALLY help! God bless and thank you for what you do. ♥️🙏🏼♥️
thank you so much Brenda, I appreciate that! Happy to hear about your progress :)
More!!!
Who knew sitting on a chair could be challenging😄! Thanks Lauren!
You're so welcome! Glad you got a good workout Sandra :)
Thank you, Lauren! I’ve been doing different videos of yours for several weeks and already I feel stronger and have more energy. I love the way you make workouts challenging but fun and not boring. This one was perfect for me because I have osteoporosis. For someone who was really sedentary for several years, this is life- changing. You have helped me so much, Thank You! ❤️
That is so nice to hear. I love that you are taking care of yourself and feeling stronger. Keep up the good work :)
Thank you so much for your chair workouts! I recently had foot surgery and these workouts have been a lifesaver. You are a wonderful instructor and your videos are challenging and pleasant. Thank you again for your help!
My pleasure Laura! I'm so glad my workouts are helpful :)
All my best for your foot recovery!
Been a fan of your exercises for a while now. This one is another favorite. Please keep the chair exercises like this coming. Thank you.
THank you! So glad you enjoyed this video as well :)
Thank you for your videos this one I find easier I am 68 years and have started following you since January every day and look for the one this video really helps with my osteoporosis I have more energy and can move, bend and lift. I look forward to you and what you do for my self esteem thank you so much Lauren ❤
Wow, thank you Donna! I'm so glad it's helpful. Keep up the great work :D
Thank you, it's a nice change to do a seated workout. I feel that I'm using my muscles in different ways when seated. This was a really enjoyable workout as always.
You're so welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it Jacqueline :)
I love the music you use and I love your calming voice❤❤
So glad you enjoyed it Mary!
I’ve been doing your workouts for about 6 months. I have osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis. My pain has decreased and my flexibility increased. And I’m having fun!! Thank you so much for all you do!
Wonderful! Thanks Debra and keep up the great work 🙌🏻
Awesome thank you I love all your videos❤
You are so welcome :)
Thank you for these sitting and standing chair exercises! They are my favorite ❤ You are a wonderful instructor and I feel great after each session😊
Thank you so much Devon! I love to hear that you feel great :)
I am enjoying chair yoga and I am beginning to see some changes. I’m excited to keep going. Thank you for spending the time to make these videos. Hope to see more chair Yoga videos from you.
You're so welcome! I’m thrilled you are enjoying them and seeing changes 🤩
Thank you so much for your seated videos! 💝 These are much appreciated while working with an ankle injury 💖💖💖
You're most welcome! Wishing you a speedy recovery :)
Great workout for an osteoporsis woman. I go to Y and they do some bone strength..they dont seem aware of being on top of not doing twisting for osteo. Course instructor has others in class that are safe doing those. Im grateful for your knowlege of bone density work. Thank you. Catherine would like more workouts..
Glad you like it Catherine! Here is the link for all of my osteoporosis friendly workouts: th-cam.com/play/PLdAl5SsVkdodnQgh9DSmuuIM2S_labr4K.html
I am loving this one too. I started with the 10 minutes and 1/2 hour videos keeps popping in so I graduated to it lol. Your calming voice and not too much waisted time talking is also what I like about your videos. Thank you so much, Keep up the good work!!!
I appreciate that! Thank you and you keep up the good work too🤩🙌🏻
I never knew I could get such a great workout seated in a chair! Thank you for teaching me new ways to exercise! 😅
right?!? Thanks for trying it :)
I really enjoyed this workout. When I was a young single Mother, I worked full time , but still managed to get in some aerobic classes. Now I am a 70-year-old great grandmother who gained weight and lost muscle strength. I like that I can get a cardio workout in a chair. (Like a lot of older people I suffer from arthritis pain, especially in my feet.) I have been looking for something that would give me some strength training and cardio and core exercises. Thank you ,I will definitely continue on a daily basis!
Wonderful Ruth! Glad it's a good workout for you. I have many more like it for you to enjoy as well :)
Thank you for another great workout. You're great at walking us through each move and mixing it up so we work different muscles. Thanks so much.@SeniorShapeFitness
Hi Lauren, another great work out! It was a great way to start my Sunday morning. Don’t let the chair fool you guys - I get every bit of it!
THanks Desiree! So glad you got a good workout. I hope you have great week :)
I love this workout it not hard on my body. I had surgery in twenty sixteen I need to do seated exercises to strengthen my back and legs. I love the way you take your time with each exercises. I can keep up with you and not hurt myself. Please keep up the good work. Look forward to more.
Thank you Evangeline! I'm so glad it's a good workout for you :)
LOVE this workout. Was having some knee pain and unable to do the regular standing workout so I tried this one. Did I say, I LOVE THIS WORKOUT! Thanks Lauren for another great video.
yay! sorry about your knee pain, but I'm thrilled that you love this workout :D
Good morning appreciate these morning exercises
Good morning! Glad you enjoyed it Lisa :)
I absolutely love it. Yes, please, more for chronic knee and. Thank you ❤
You’re welcome! I’m thrilled you love it 🤩
Bless you for responding so quickly! I promise to send you my progress reports. Your loving and respectful heart are so encouraging. Thank you.
My pleasure, all my best to you :)
Thank you for this workout. I'm recovering from meniscus surgery and this was perfect to keep me moving! So very appreciate you!
My pleasure Dina, so glad you enjoyed it :D
I love these all-in-one workouts that offer both cardio and strength exercises, plus warmup and cooldown, all in less than a half hour! I tried this one today and really felt it -- in a good way. Keep 'em coming, and thanks for all you do!
Excellent! I'm thrilled you love it and got a good workout :)
Lauren I did this workout this morning and loved it. I did the moves I could stand for and grateful I had the chair for moves I have balanced issues. Thank you. Monday started off great this morning.
Happy to hear it Laura! You are most welcome 🤩
Thank you! I didn’t feel like working out today so I chose the seated workout and it was a great switch.
You're so welcome! Glad you liked it Paula :)
Another great workout! I got a great one! Thanks!
Woo hoo! Glad to hear it :)
Hi Lauren and thank you, I've been doing many of your videos for about a year, 4 to 5 times weekly and do they regularly and always feel good before during and after. Due to slight accident (fractured left wrist in cast for few weeks), started doing your 10 min chair exercises about 2 weeks ago and tweaking them to me while still getting the benefits. Today ventured to chair 30min cardio and strength (without weights) and feel SOOOOO empowered and proud of me. Realise there is so much I can do with one hand without hurting myself. So thank you for your encouragement through out all the videos and thanks for all the time you spend creating new and different workouts!
You are most welcome! Kudos to you for staying on top of your fitness routine with your injury! All my best for your continued healing :)
Thank you again, Lauren. I almost talked myself out of the workout today, but I was strong and convinced myself to exercise. You're a gem.💎
Great job! The hardest part is getting started :)
Just a heads up to inexperience viewers like me.
I came down with a cold over a months ago and decided that I need to take it easy with my exercise. I found this one and thought I could do a light exercise sitting in a chair. (I used to do the standup strength and I always engaged my core).
I didn’t engage my core while I was sitting down. I ended up with a severe back pain which lasted for almost a month. The pain moved from one spot to another.
Lauren, I totally understand why you keep reminding us to engage our cores while working out.
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
You're right, it's so important Rita!
It sure is a surefire enjoyable chair workout. It maybe easier than the other one but it still gives you a sweat. Thank you very much .
You're so welcome! Glad you liked it and got a good workout Evelyn :)
I love your workouts, how simple and straightforward they are. I suffer from spinal stenosis and herniated discs after years of playing competitive tennis, so I just want to make sure that nothing here is contraindicated for my condition.(I DO feel great most of of the time when I"m done, but sometimes there are hip twinges(sciatic nerve pressure) that worry me... thanks for any comments you may have regarding this..
I'm so glad to hear that you are enjoying your workouts. Please check with your doctor and what they have to say about your limitations and what you need to be avoiding.
We need more! Thank you! This was my first senior chair yoga session.
Great! I have lots more. You can find all my chair workout in the chair playlist on my channel main page ;)
New to you at 64. This is so great for me just getting back to exercising. Thank you!
Wonderful! Thanks for working out with me Letta :)
Lauren you did it again!! Another great and mindful workout!!!!
Yay! Thank you Jayne :)
Your workouts are pure delight.
Thank you so much Analena :)
That was perfect. I am post TKR and after all those PT exercises I needed something else. This was perfect.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks Debbie 🤩
Lauren, I just found this one and it’s great! I’m not comfortable standing during workout, and I’ve been loving your seated pilates. I love that this one incorporates weights, so I don’t always have to do them after your workouts. It’s great if I don’t have a lot of time. I’m getting stronger everyday, so thank you again, Lauren! ❤
You're so welcome! I love that you are getting stronger Annie 🙌🏻
Great Workout , I’m glad to be able to continue workouts again ,, Thank You 🥰💕🙏
That's great Thersa!!
This was right for me tonight. It felt fun and good. TY.
Wonderful! You are very welcome Carol :)
I've been following quite a few of your exercises over the last year or so. And I'm 5 weeks out from a foot injury just decided to see what your exercises you had. This chair exercises was great for me today, thank you so much! Can't wait to get back on my feet!
Great! Thanks for trying it Claudia. Wishing you all the best for your recovery :)
First time trying chair exercises. I really feel it in my muscles. Thank you
Wonderful! Glad you got a good workout :)
Excellent workout, Lauren. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love these I was diagnosed with osteoporosis last year and have found your you tube workouts to be fantastic for me. I do all your new ones and then go back and do the ones I have not done to mix them up. I look forward each week to your workouts Thankyou ❤
I love that Nicola! Thanks for all your support :)
I've had a nasty cold this week and so have lacked the extra energy to do a full-on work-out but this and your 'level up' chair work-out have been an answer to a prayer to help me maintain my fitness while recovering. Thank you so much for your thoughtful and pleasurable routines.
You're so welcome! I hope you are feeling better soon Amandine :)
Lauren I’ve been following you since January of this year and I feel fantastic
Awesome! That's great to hear Julien :)
this is very helpful for rehab from spinal injury as i cannot do much pilates on my back, and i cannot do too much standing, sitting is perfect and still very challenging. thank you.
My pleasure Susan. Glad it's a good one for you :)
I have been doing your workout for a couple of months now. A friend and myself choose one, she at her house, me at mine. We start at the same time with each other on facetime. It has been really a great way for us to workout. We love the variety of workouts and are proud that we have worked from all seated to a mix of seated and standing. We love the color of your studio, choice and volume of the music, your encouragement with not too much talking, and variety. Keep the videos coming!
FYI... we are both seniors
Wonderful! Thank you Nancy and to your friend! My MIL also does my videos with a friend group, I love the supportive environment! I'll keep the videos coming, and you keep up the good work :)
Hello Lauren I'm still not 100% since COVID but this class was just right for me today and I'm 🥵 so thankyou see you tomorrow ❤️🙋
Glad it's a good one for you Julie. Hang in there! Drink more fluids!

Wonderful! Thanks for trying it :)
I loved this work out. Thank you!
You're so welcome! I'm thrilled that you love it Michelle :)
Great chair workout, although I did the first part standing and then I realized after the 7 minute mark, it was more beneficial to sit in the chair, especially for the abs and the thighs and wow, did I ever feel those muscles after that. Thanks for another great workout, Lauren!
Fantastic! Several other viewers told me that they did the cardio part standing up too. I think it's great!
And your right, my chair workouts are still a really good workout :)
I really like doing these sit down exercises. I'm 83 & I feel wonderful when I'm finished..😃
Love that Sharon :)

Love your workouts! I have plantar fasciitis in both feet (avid hiker) and had to stay off my feet. Your chair workouts saved me! You have such creative ways of doing all sorts of workouts in a chair. I'm going to keep doing your workouts even after my doctor gives me a green light to put weight on my feet again. Thank you!!!
My pleasure Elizabeth! Keep up the great work :)
These are great for after surgery times. Thank you for having Jan exercises available.

I just love your videos. I echo what someone said…not too hard and not too easy. I hate exercises and have zero stamina, but somehow, i am totally enjoying your workouts. On week 2 now. I enjoy feeling the aches exactly where you we should.
Yay! I love it Monique! Thank you so much and keep up the good work :)
I was really upset about being off my feet but this seated workout was great! I am so happy you’ve provided a way for me to exercise until I’m back on my feet. Thank you!
