- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.ย. 2024
- 15 minute easy to follow and effective workout. No excuses! No equipment needed! All you need is a sturdy chair for these toning exercises.
This is a full body workout that can be done anytime and anywhere. We work our shoulders, chest, core, triceps, quadriceps and glutes!
If you are not comfortable kneeling on the chair for push-ups, please stay in a seated position in the chair and lean forward bringing your chest towards your thighs.

Thank you for working out with me!
My new favorite workout. I can stop reading or writing and take a short energizing break in my chair. Thanks!
I agree, this workout is energizing! Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for watching and working out with me!
Love these seated workouts. I have finally learned how to do “moderate” workouts and stopped pushing myself so hard. My 84-year young body says thank you so much. It has taken me quite sometime to realize that my body still wants to push but it’s not what it truly needs. Thank you for being here and making these workouts available to all of us!
You're so welcome Ann! You're right, it's a double edge sword. It's so important to listen to your body, but I also like your energy and willingness to push yourself :)
Ooh, this is a good one!!! Sneaky you, making a no equipment, chair workout challenging!!! This is terrific!!! Thank you!!
You bet Staci! Hope you are healing well :)
I had been looking a workout for my age, my back, to be done at home, and I am so happy to say that finding your channel is the best news I had in sometime . Thank you so much for your beautiful and efficient workouts. I love everything about them... my back is also very thankful! 🥰
Wonderful! Happy to hear you are enjoying my workouts 🤩
Another great one. And thank you again for the reminders😊
You are so welcome Sue!
Great workout. I had to pause it often to take a break. When I get stronger I will pause it to increase repetitions. Thank you 😊
Fantastic plan Vicky 🤩
Thank you. I am 65. I appreciate all those workouts without leaving the chair. God bless you!
Wonderful! You are very welcome. I have a new chair routine coming soon!
I've had a migraine all day but really wanted to do some sort of exercise. This was great! Not too taxing, but still engaged all my muscles 👌🏻
Glad it was helpful 😃
For Mom and me, this is our go-to workshop. Then, next, we do your Chair Pilates. We always have a good time, huffing and puffing a bit, and anticipating when you will reward us all by saying”…..feeling the beautiful stretch” which we always do feel. Thanks so much.
Lloyd, I love your comments because they are so descriptive that I can picture it in my mind and it makes me smile. Thank you for bringing me joy today :)
I am a 62 year old senior and I like the chair workouts. They are helping me get stronger every day and I am now starting to do some of the standing and mat work outs. Thank you for sharing.
That is awesome Linda! I love to hear that you are getting stronger. Keep up the good work and thanks for working out with me!
Yayyyy Linda! Getting stronger and probably better daily tasks accomplished now.
Great workout today I enjoy this one 😊❤see you soon
Great! Thanks Natalie :)
Sweety, today it is the day I don’t work out too hard and I decided to follow you in this one. At first I thought - oh, this is too easy. But now, that we finished I have to tell you that it is very good... and not too easy. Good to start my day. Thanks so much and have a good day.
Yay! that's great Maria! I'm glad you found it effective and not too easy. I hope you have a great day too!
I appreciate your positive voice and encouragements! This didn't feel as "beginner" as I was hoping for; I cannot stress my lower back this much by raising leg(s) but I adapted some things to be in line with physical therapy exercises and feel that I had a real chair workout all the same. Thank you.
You’re welcome Gail. Good job making modifications. Maybe try my chair yoga videos. I think you will like those 💜
I live where it's very hot and there's no air conditioning, so these short to-the-point workouts are a terrific way for me to get my movement in each morning but not overheat. I like the chair yoga workouts for the same reason. Thank you Lauren!
You're so welcome Bonnie! Stay cool and drink lots of water :)
SUPER fun workout! Am having strong valgus knee concerns but this made me MORE aware then ever of internal pelvic muscles and core muscle work needed more frequents strengthening to help. Thanks!! Come 'visit' again tomorrow 🙂
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed it 💜
1st Time,,, feeling better,,, good presentation!! ❤
Yay! Thank you RoseMarie 🤩
Great workout Lauren! Slightly slower pace would have worked better for me but felt great afterwards! So thank you! Would be great to add some neck exercises too! Thank you so much as always! You are the best! ❤️
Happy to hear you felt great!
sometimes I reduce the video speed to .75 if I feel the pace is too fast for me. hope this helps!
My wife and I are doing this while on our cruise. So grateful for this!
I love that Rodney! Thanks for bringing me along :)
Great workout!
Glad you liked it!! Thanks Jennifer :)
Love it! It's just what I need! Thanks, Lauren! You are amazing!
Thanks so much Maria! I’m thrilled you liked it 💜
@@SeniorShapeFitness I have struggled with my weight and fitness my whole life. I'm 45 and I have medical issues because of my weight. I am over 300 pounds! I have been working out with you six times a week and I am noticing so many benefits! Lauren, my body is changing for the better! I'm more flexible, I'm toning up, I feel better than I have in a long time, and my self confidence is growing. I'm making better food choices as well.Lauren, if you ever think you aren't making a difference, just know there is someone here in New England that is blossoming because of this channel! I feel like I have a new life starting. It's a healthy life, and I am holding on to this new feeling! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
@@mariafoley3134 oh my gosh Maria, I am so proud of you! Thank you for sharing from the bottom of my heart and please keep me updated regarding your progress. You have a great attitude and I’m thrilled for you! Keep up the good work, you are awesome!!! 🤩🙌🏻💐
@@SeniorShapeFitness I'm still at it, Lauren! This is such an amazing feeling! I will definitely keep you posted!
Hi Lauren! I have found the perfect combination! I do this work out and then your Yoga Stretch and Strength work out! Man, that is perfect! Oh my gosh. Why did I not find this page before? I go for my first official weigh in on the 10th. I am excited! My cardiologist and PCP are going to be so happy. I know I am! I will let you know what they say! I am sure my A1C is going to be great! Thank you, Lauren!
My mother and I do 15-30 minutes late of your chair exercises every day. The first 2 minutes of this workout really used to challenge us. But now it’s really enjoyable. Thanks so much for being one the best parts of our day.
It's my pleasure Lloyd! Keep up the good work and say "hello" to your mother for me!
Great. I modified to make it a short standing workout and combined with 10 minute abs video. 💙
Nice! Great combinations :)
Again, Lauren, this is great as my foot recovers. Thank you!
hope you are healing well Laura :)
Another good one. I saved all the 10 minute workouts to a Playlist and use them as an extra when I feel ambitious, they are perfect. Thank you
Great idea! Thanks Sue :)
Love your exercises! I’m recovering from abdominal surgery and these are perfect for strengthening my ab muscles without having to get up and down from the floor. Thank you.
I'm happy to hear my workouts are helpful to you Karen. 5 new chair workouts coming this week :)
Great workout this morning! Thanks again!!!
You bet Judi! Have a great day :)
Your chair videos have been very helpful for me. I very much enjoyed this video and would love more along the same theme.
Thanks Libbie! I'm so glad they are good workouts for you :)
fabulous exercise ! inviting spectators to follow thus video it helps a lot to us especially the senior.
Thank you Marlyn, I appreciate that! So glad you liked it!
Lauren, Thanks for making these seated workouts! I'm a 75 YO with bad knees and your chair workouts are something I can do to keep fit.💪
You're so welcome! I'm glad to hear it :)
I'm recovering from an injury (calf). I was searching for something which could help me to reduce a bit my stiffness as I'm not training as usual during these weeks. I've tried today this seated workout for the first time. I will definitely try the other seated workouts as well! Glad I found your channel! Thank you!
Awesome! I'm so glad you found my channel too! Best of luck on your recovery.
Good workout, Lauren. Nice to occasionally have a short session seated but I will do a longer one tomorrow. I have a hamstring pain in right leg so am going gently with that.
Thanks Martin! Good job listening to your body, hamstring tightness can be stubborn!
this felt very good after a long walk with my dog, challenging, not exhausting
I agree it’s surprisingly challenging! Thanks Carole 😀
I just found this workout and tried t today. Absolutely love it. Would love more like this
Great Kathy! Here is the link to all my seated workouts: th-cam.com/play/PLdAl5SsVkdocMLUUPFfqXXUzQ57U1Jp7y.html

Awesome!
Wow, liked this one as well - cannot tell which one is my favorite 😅 Have a wonderful day 🍀
Thanks Marianne! They can all be your favorite ;)
Wanted a quick workout may be short but packed a lot into 15 min it was 😓 hard work. Amazing thank you Lauren 💕
Yay Patricia! I like this one too!
Another great workout. My hip joints hurt today from walking and I was looking for something that isn't too hard but works on my strength. This was perfect! thanks again.
Excellent! Glad it was a good one for you!
Missed my class this morning. I liked your program. I did have modified some. Will use again.
Thank you Connie, I’m so glad you enjoyed it 🤩
I love this one ...Thank you!!!

@@SeniorShapeFitness 💛
That was brilliant, and fun, and effective. I had been reading for a while and felt the need for some movement (but not to change clothes or get sweaty.) This was absolutely perfect. I am going to bookmark this and return often for a little "extra" exercise besides walking and following you on other videos. I am extremely grateful I found your channel, Lauren. I try to exercise with you every day now. You've made a big difference in my life.
wow! That is so nice to hear Michelle! I proud of you for making positive changes in your life :)
I enjoyed this workout. I am so glad I found your videos, you really make me want to work out. Do you have any seated ab workouts? Thanks for doing what you do.
So glad to hear that Dorothy! Here is the link for seated abs: th-cam.com/video/Cz3M_CpAcvw/w-d-xo.html
@@SeniorShapeFitness I will definitely be doing this workout. Thanks so much
Thanks medam your equipments your mind healthy your talent your beloved fitness your happy mind your fitness happy
Love it, thanks
So glad! Thanks for working out with me!
This was just enough to challenge me, but without thinking," I won't do this one again"! I am so out of shape, I want to start slowly so I don't get discouraged. I have realized I can't do the workouts I could do when I was younger, so glad to have found these! Thanks!
That’s perfect Christina! Good for you! I’m so glad you found me too! 💜
Loved it💗
I’m so glad Julie, thanks for working out with me!
Hello Lauren, I am in my early 40s. I found your videos a few months ago and since then I have been doing them frequently. I enjoy the cardio and the pilates. You are such a a beautiful soul and I feel so encouraged to practice regularly with you. Thanks again for all your kindness and efforts.
Best variety of workout you are lovely .I am 72 old female very rusty what can you suggest as my very 1st work out .there are so many not sure what to use .thank you
Thank you Silvana! This workout (that you wrote the comment on is a great place to start) here is a link to my playlist that includes videos that would be a good place to start also: th-cam.com/play/PLdAl5SsVkdoc7mXsCGtnQJI8onFVVRdKr.html
Hi, I was wondering if it was easy enough for you to tell me which videos do/do not contain bouncing or jumping as I have a calf strain so can't bounce or jump at the moment, but would be interested to try some non-chair exercises without the jumping/bouncing.
Also, just a thank you for offering such a wide selection of exercises. You're very well spoken, give off friendly vibes and give clear instructions. Thank you!
Thanks Bethanie! Actually none of my videos have any jumping. In the walking, dance and kickboxing videos there may be some bouncing, but it is always low impact and optional. I think maybe a good place to start would be the standing pilates videos. Let me know if you need help finding them.
Good overall workout in a short amount of time. I would like more gentle chair yoga. I like 30 minutes or less.
I just posted the new chair yoga a few weeks ago. I’m planning on doing a new chair Pilates next month.
Thank you! Absolute beginner here. Never had to exercise to keep my figure, so neglected strength. In 50s, I now realize I need to change that!
How do I both hold tummy in and breathe properly (diaphragm not chest) at the same time? Thanks again 🌷
Lot's of practice ;)
To start (it will eventually become natural) just focus on holding your tummy in as you exhale. Once you "find" your core muscles you can hold them as you breathe. It just takes practice and being aware and making the mind-muscle connection.

So helpful, no one’s ever been able to answer me that question. Im very grateful to you!
If I could make a suggestion: please start with the modification, then move to the standard movement. I'm looking for seated workouts for my 88 year old mom, and there are a couple of moves (like the glutes move) that would be hard. But if you were to start with the modification, she wouldn't feel compelled to barge ahead with the standard move before getting comfortable with the modification! Thanks, overall this is a great workout!
Thank you, I appreciate your feedback and glad you liked the workout! In several of my other videos I do what you mention, I start slow, then give the option to speed up or add a challenge. The chair yoga and pilates would be great for her as well :)
What is the cost??
of what?
Beginning was a little too fast for this 60 yr old that’s had pretty much 0 exercise since the start of Covid; also leaning back and lifting both feet off the ground is a DEFINITE no for me❣️
May I suggest one of my chair yoga videos Jacquelyn? They may be good ones to do while you are getting your strength back.
@@SeniorShapeFitness It was a chair yoga class for seniors !!
Too fast, too difficult for me. Age 80.
Maybe give this chair yoga workout a try: th-cam.com/video/cgaDPZ8UdZY/w-d-xo.html
Go to fast
its ok except lifting on the chair how old are u
Hi Bev. I'm 44 years old.
Great workout!
Thank you!!
