- As we age, physical activity helps us attain our goals, maintain our functioning and promote comfort. In addition, routine exercise can help reduce arthritis pain, improve mood, sleep and blood sugar control, as well as affect memory.
This video includes both balance and strengthening exercises, which can prevent falls and hip fractures. This video is appropriate for those older adults who cannot stand or who need support when standing.

I prefer recordings such as this in which the instructor does not waste time being chatty, but gets right down to business.
I love these exercises. I’m only 16 but I’m morbidly obese (I know I shouldn’t have let it get this bad). But I have finally decided to make a change. Im hoping these exercises will help me get to baseline fitness because right now I’m so weak and it’s exhausting just to go up and down stairs. I’m promising myself I will stay true to my exercises every day and when I have lost more than 20 pounds I will comment here again. Wish me luck.
Wishing you luck ❤️
This is a very good place to start. I hope you're doing well.
I hope it's worked for you Owen. I wish you continued good luck🙏
Any updates? :)

Thank you for this video! I am a newly certified personal trainer and I just started working with a 87 year old who cannot stand on her own. My coursework did not cover working with this population so finding this video is perfect so I can help her!
Make sure you have them warm up well before their workouts to the best of their ability. Also, keep the environment warmer than you would for a younger client. Elderly don’t have as much subcutaneous fat (fat under the skin) and get cold more easily. If the gym is too cold, have them wear a jacket or sweats if the temperature can’t be adjusted.
Hi can you please elaborate what all exercises you included in the exercise plan? I'm currently working with a 87 year old too and she can't get up without anyone's help
the ones in this video plus I got her into a standing position and had her hold onto the back of the chair and to squats, heel raises, lift leg out to side and then directly behind her. Upper body stuff with a light band. She could walk with a walker but she didn't like to so just making her do laps around the living room at least got her moving.

Hello pretty, I was just going through commet when I saw your profile and that what attracted me to write you. I would love to get to know you if possible. I will be glad to hear from you 🙂
Exercise doesn't always mean you have to do strenuous activities to strengthen your body and this video proves that as it helps people our age get better physical health through simple ways that are really beneficial. Thank you so much for sharing these with us and we appreciate it so much because you're helping us minimize the risk of falling hard which can lead into a serious injury. You remind us of Reviving Mind's health and wellness coaches who do their best helping people out with their physical, as well as mental, health.
Love it.
Still love it..
Thank you for this real demo. I encourage my 91 year old grandpa to watch this and do those exercises everyday. He can keep up doing the steps even though he has arthritis.
You can get cured by Doctor Oseiwe on TH-cam with his harbal medicine,🌿🌿🌿 to cure arthritis and some other disease permanently 🌿
Thank you so much for this video. I am 51 yrs old and I have extreme weak legs due to an autoimmune disease and use of statins. I stopped the statins over a month ago but the damage continues to get worse. This will help strengthen my legs. Thank you again.
I’ll start this workout with my dad, hope this will help him to get stronger. I love the new balance of the old gentleman… total swagger 👌🏽

I'M 7O YEARS OLD MAN BUT I LIKE EXERCISE IN MY LIFE. AND EXERCISE IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR HUMAN BODY. LOVE FROM MAURITIUS ❤️
Thank you (and to the nice man showing us the exercises), for taking it seriously and giving us a no-nonsense demonstration and instruction. It's nobody's fault to get older each year and it's hell when your legs, feet, shoulders, back etc all ache, but these are good, gentle and helpful exercises we can follow. Thanks again 👏

Thanks for demonstratring these wonderful excercises.

I’m 28 years old and recently had surgery for broken tib and fib . I find this video very useful
I'm not a senior. I'm late middle aged and have disabilities. I want(ed) to start exercising (working out) and stretches...I wanted to do it to feel better mentally and physically. I don't have much at my home just 2 bands and light dumbells (The colored ones! Lol) I really enjoyed this workout and it's results are way better than I expected! Thanks great vid
I'm 20 and this was very helpful for me. My health is not what it used to be, and the exercises I used to do in youth strain my body too much. I'm starting slow.
Thank you very much for posting, and thank you to the old gentleman demonstrating!
@@inesguimaraes6040 Could be weight issues? That’s my guess, due to the strain during exercise perhaps?
He did better than me! Thank you for the demo. It’s important even young ppl focus on mobility and strength and flexibility!
Thank you for this wonderful video which my mother who is 95 and I do every day!
Thanks for sharing! These are so valuable. Love that they can be done while sitting watching TV, reading a book, etc.
This is a very nice, gentle, but effective series for practicing on a regular basis, thanks for sharing! It would be great if everyone practiced these exercises regularly!
I've been researching senior exercises and discovered a great resource at Seniorcises (google it if you are interested)

This is a GREAT video for me, since I've had both hips replaced and am somewhat limited in what exercise I can do these days. It is hilarious to me that this gentleman NEVER cracks even a smile in the whole time he is demonstrating the exercises!
Hello Mary
How are you doing today?
Finished my pt and was looking for a program to use at home to keep up the strength I have now. These are most of the sitting exercises I was doing at pt. I’m at higher number than ten but this will help me remember all the exercises except the ones with the rubber ball. Thank you
finally a sensible set of exercises for elderly
I'm 28, but my knees 80... who else feels like this
I’m not a senior yet … I’m only 79. Next year I’ll be there.
I work in the healthcare field and these specific exercises are used in nursing homes assisted living and some rehabs for the elderly I've witnessed the enjoyment of this activity .. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for this video. My husband just got out of a rehab unit to regain strength after a difficult illness. These exercises are much like what he was doing in physical therapy and it's easy for him to work along with the model.
I like watching these exrcercies .l will try myself too.
Excellent video! I'm a proponent of bodyweight exercises and walking. The more we move our bodies, the healthier we are. Average walking speed studies show that an older person’s pace, along with their age and gender, can predict their life expectancy just as well as the complex battery of other health indicators such as blood pressure, body mass index, chronic conditions, and smoking history.
yes i m.happy to learn but walking is bedt
Sometimes I shuffle along. Do the best I can.
Instructions very clear and useful, thanks for posting the video
Very valuable exercises, thanks so much, which will be really helpful.
These exercises are most helpful. Thank you both.

Superb instructions for seniors .Thank you so much.
I suffer from arthritis thank you will be watching🥰🥰💛💛💛💛💯
The instructions were understandable and the pace appropriate.
Thank you so much just started
slow, simple demo with clear instructions, easy to do, any time.
I'm looking for something to share with my parents to do as they are self-isolating under lockdown. Their first language is not English, plus they don't hear so well, so it's really great to find a video under 10 min long with instructions spoken in a clear voice with neutral pronunciation, a nice slow pace and a visual background that doesn't interfere with the demonstration. THANK YOU for keeping these all in mind for something that seniors can really use!
Thank you for such useful exercises

Thank you so much for this excellent workout video... I have made it part of my morning routine.
This will be great for my 93 year old mother currently self-isolating due to COVID-19. Thank you for this super simple workout.

Great video! I’m going to have to show my grandma. I was reading some comments below that weren’t very nice and people forget that some people suffer from arthritis like my grandma and can’t be as active as they would like to anymore despite how active they were as young adults.
Broken Doll thank you ...I am blessed to have lived long enough to have needed these ..their day hopefully will come also ...( as in...blessed to reach old age.....not being snarky
I'm going to kick my grandpa in the balls don't worry guys the old goon is used to it.
@ Doll Well said ,Thank you for the reminder, that everyday we live is a day closer to being a senior. . Yes we were All once young but old is Gold😀
Broken Doll Do you know any seniors who have used these type of videos for physical recovery and can you direct to some. I’m looking for videos for my dad since his body is destroyed from 20 plus years of working as a truck driver. He has a hard time walking and I want to set up a playlist for him so he can stretch everyday.
I like it so much now I do regularly
ZI am 86 years old and really enjoy being able to do these exercises during the night when I can not sleep I live in an apartment by myself Thank you Ken Morris
I can't get to a gym, so I checked YT for Chair Exercise & found this. Nice warm-up, gonna search for more now. Thank you...

It must be doing some good, I ache a bit in the legs and hips!! I am doing this with the "standing" exercises, along with rubber band upper arms/back stuff. Keep it up Nora and others!
Good videos thank you. The last videos I looked at for seniors had them doing things that 50 and 60 year olds can do but not 80 and 90 year olds!
Muchísimas gracias por estos excelentes ejercicios.
Thank you for posting these exercises❣️
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else trying to find out exercise videos for elderly try Loctavan Senior Fitness Strategy (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my friend got amazing success with it.
This video is great! I’m not a senior (although that’s how I feel most days lol) only in my mid 30s but I’ve been experiencing a decrease in ROM in my hips due to osteoarthritis. I’ve been dealing with arthritis since my late teens and It’s scary to be confronted with loss of mobility this early in life. Although I’m not sedentary, I stand and walk around at work all day long but it’s not enough. At the end of the day I can hardly move and it feels like I’m tied in knots. Instead of taking more painkillers I realize I need more vigorous aerobic exercise and to stretch more. I started with this, a seated hip stretch, a tai chi and a 5 minute “walk at home” TH-cam video to get the kinks out. I was in so much pain after the first day I thought I had injured myself but I keep with it and now I can walk better than I have in almost a year. I’ve also lost ten lbs in the past two weeks by restricting carbs. The saying is true, if you don’t move it you’ll lose it 😉
I’m older than you by a decade five or take and most days I feel like an old geezer as well. I wrok in a grocery store and lifting and climbing is repetitive hell. I think I can benefit from this as well as my dad who’s in his late 80s. I hope he can be motivated to do them because it’s sad witnessing seniors or people in general allow their health to slowly deteriorate to the point where they no longer have the basic functions we all take for granted every day.
The other day he knelt down and I didn’t see him for a few minutes until I realized he hadn’t got up. I went to him and he said he couldn’t stand up because his legs had no strength. I am so gutted. I’m obviously partly to blame for this of course. Seniors like toddlers need us to watch out for them.

Short but very worthwhile

My dad is 93 and getting less and less mobile. Stays in bed too much (by choice) these days.
He has Alzheimers, but if I do the exercises with him he’ll do them.
When I bathe him I can see just how much his muscles have wasted, which contributes to instability and increases the chance of fractures should he fall.
I have been looking for exercises in EXACTLY this simple, well paced format for him to follow on TV (thank heavens for Smart TVs, I can cast this clip on his big TV to follow - he would struggle to follow it on the iPad I gave him, eyesight not so good)
