Eliza, just try to do the best you can young lady. Everyone is going through something !!!! Exercising has been very helpful to me emotionally as well as physically. KEEP ON WORKING OUT BABY !!!
Hi I’m 16 and 330 lb. In the Past two weeks I when from 343 to 331 just by eating less and walking a bit more. Now I’m 329 and my weight won’t seem to go down so I’m adding in cardio and hoping for the best. I could only do about 10-15 mins of this workout and burned almost 200 cals it was so good. I was crying because I was embarrassed that I’m 16 and this is the best I can do. But I know if I stick to it I could do some of your other workouts! For some reason I don’t sweat a lot even though my heart rate was at 130. Tips for my weightloss journey to 130lbs would be greatly appreciated. So many people tell me I can’t do it and that I need surgery, but I’m going to prove them wrong 200lb later! Thank you so much you motivate me 😊 Edit: I’m now 315lb (I almost gave up in May and gained some weight but then I changed myself and lost it plus more.) Edit: I’m 299lbs. Since end of April I lost like 41lbs haha! Edit 2: I’m 293 now I just want to thank everyone who has been so kind. 50lb down! Edit 3: 288!☺️ and I turned 17 yay!

I was heavy my entire life if I can so it anyone can just watch what u eat the more u move the more u will be able to move I was almost bed ridden and now I am well still a long way to go but I can now get up without it basically being the hardest thing ever so just go slow it will take a while took me a year for both my weight loses don't get discouraged u will Plato and if u keep doing it the weight will get moving again trust me u got this!!
Hi, I lost my left leg above the knee last summer after a 3 year battle with cancer. I am not walking without crutches and my prosthetist recommended your workouts. This is the 2nd one I have tried and really felt good afterwards. Thank you.
Hi Alice, i am a bk amputee and my health has taken a drop...but at least now i can rebuild the muscle and l9se the weight that has accumulated over that the time period. Keep strong ...
If you're seeing this, please do not doubt yourself or give up I'm 23 about to be 24 and for the past two years I've been dealing with so much health issues to the point where it caused me to have seizures. I have sleep apnea diabetes, high blood pressure And it also causes me to have severe depression. Trust me you do not want to go through what I am going through at the moment taking so many medications just to improve my health and it's so embarrassing. I want to live life and be happy. Please continue on you. Got this!!!!
I decided to set myself a 30-day challenge of working out as I have been struggling with low mood, depression, anxiety and cabin fever since I can't go anywhere. Yesterday was my first day and I managed 5 minutes before I had to stop. Today I found your work out and managed to keep going for the whole video. I'm not ashamed to say I cried at the end with how proud I felt. Thank you
I love this!! You should be proud of yourself. I actually cried after finishing this video too. Mainly cuz I was sore, but also because I actually finished it. Hope you’re still keeping it up. I have tried to challenge myself, but keep failing. One day I will get there.
Thank you, ive been in total depression since i hurt my back three years ago. I can barely walk now and gained weight. Unable to go to the gym and in constant pain, i had given up. Thanks to your chair workout, im back. I have a long way to go, but im ready to save my life!
Hi I was 49 with 89 kg weight 5 days back with so many health issues . I started this chair cardio and within 5 days i loose 2kgs, wow...it's wonderful...Thanks Carolene.
I’m newly diagnosed with MS, my legs feel like they’re covered in cement but as a nurse I know I have to move or I’ll end up on a wheelchair. I can’t tell you how therapeutic it was to not only find your channel but how motivated I felt just listening to you… I have no balance, and I’m afraid of falling but your chair workouts are life! Thank you x100 for giving me hope back

I am 50 and truly obese had spine and knee replacement. When seated on the floor was hard to come up back again. I stumble onto your youtube channel by chance while looking for chair workout. Within just a week with workout session I do every morning I am able to get up so much better and faster. I truly love your session and it is giving me the mobility and in hope to lose more weight in the future
I've been doing this lately. It came on again today after I had followed it for exercise. My three year old son grabbed a chair, got in it, and started exercising.
Hello! I just did my first Chair Cardio work out and I loved it. I am 54 and I am coming back to life. Depression had me sedentary for a few years and I ballooned to 375 lbs. In the last few months I have been watching what I eat and moving again. I am down to 353 lbs and want to kick it up so I figured I would try this work out everyday during my lunch break at work. 1st work out down and I loved it. Thank you very much for the content, driection and positive vibes.
Hey! You should really check out my Hurt Foot Fitness program it has a TON of mental / emotional support resources AND a community www.hurtfootfitness.com/ . 100% worth investing in and we would love to have you! 💖
this is my second (maybe third?) week doing this work out 5 times a week and then Donovan's chair abs, and while I don't know (nor care) if I lost weight (never been one to use the scale), I feel for sure how my physical capability is improving, and coming from some one with a neuromuscular disease, that's quite an accomplishment !! So thank you soooo much Jordan!!
I am so thankful I found you! I use to be a hardcore runner and gym rat, but as the years went by I am now suffering the consequences being so hard on my body, but I still love working…low impact is for me now and I feel fantastic!!!!
Hi Caroline. I have been using this video, and several others of yours, for several months. I'm almost 69 and was unhappy with the extra 50 pounds gained over COVID, and even more unhappy with my strength, stamina, and fitness. Thanks to healthy eating (NOOM) and you, I've lost 18 pounds and still at it. Thank you for giving me this free opportunity to enjoy working out with you.
I never sweat so hard. I'm 53 and in need of weight loss. I changed my diet, I just need to incorporate a workout. Thank you for all you do. This is my first day, and it is perfect because i dont have to leave the house, nor do i have to buy special equipment, see you tomorrow.
I am recovering from foot surgery, and this was just so perfect. I laughed when you said we don't need another injured foot LOL. I was like...yep! This was SO fun, I really enjoyed it and it was a perfect start to the day. I find focusing on what you can do vs what you can't is the way to actually move forward and make progress. Thank you!
I suffer from hypermobility which is especially bad in my knees since my knees are placed way too high up and I have very long stretchy ligaments so they can't hold my knees in place. I've tried everything from HIIT to barre to yoga and nothing worked. I just always had to end up doing workouts I wasn't comfortable doing. But when I found this I thought I'd try it and by the end I was crying because of how happy I was that id finally found something that I don't have to stop doing half way because I can't do the squat or the lunge. I did this without being afraid like I usually am. Thank you so much, you seriously felt like a therapist helping me work out my issues. Thank you. Update: I ended up losing weight after doing this after days of remaining the same weight.
I have been cleared by my surgeon for light exercising following my Septoplasty/Turbinoplasty. I did the workout at a slow and easy pace and still got a great workout. Thank you for sharing this with all of us.
I hurt my knee this week and totally am bummed I can't do my normal workouts. I found this video and loved it! This had to be THE fastest 24 minutes EVER spent on a workout! So fun and effective! Thank you!
I'm a 448 lbs 43 almost 44 I have Lupus, Fibromyalgia and Rheumatoid arthritis my days are always painful but today I happened to see your video was only able to do 13:42 mins of it but man it had me going wasn't as painful as others you were very up lift thank you I have saved this video till I can master it thanks again
I’m 65 and workout or dance 6 days a week. I fractured my foot and need to stay off it for a few weeks. I still need to work out for my body and sanity. Was thrilled to find Carolyn’s chair cardio! Thank you Carolyn!
This is the first workout video I have ever seen that I have followed through with to the end. I have never felt so motivated and great after a workout. I have struggled all my 30 years with obesity, but now I truly have hope for something I can stick to and feel great about. Thank you so much for making these videos!!!
Caroline you are the best trainer ever!!! How can you keep talking and talking for 25min non-stop, with full of motivation, full positivity, it feels so fluent and the time passes sooo quickly! Thanks for being you!!!
Love this! I injured my knee and although I'm doing water aerobics, I can't get there every day with two jobs!! These are great...I wish there was a little music, but other than that they are GREAT!!
You’re a special and amazing young woman! To take your time for this amazing style of a simple chair workout and turning it into a full ranged cardio routine along with adding your heart and soul for others is a huge selfless sacrifice!❤This one is worth saving and using as a daily routine!❤ I’m 64 and I’ve been sedentary for a number of years after becoming ill with IBS, as well as, diabetes. I’ve also been battling with mental disorders for a number of years, which played a huge role in becoming inactive. Your Devine sprit has motivated me to utilize what I have and I thank you!❤
Im 43 years old and disabled. I have cerebral palsy and use an electric wheelchair and loved your workout. It was hard, since i've fallen out of exercising recently, but im recommitted to exercising 3 days or more a week now. For wheelchair users: for the marching parts i am able to move my legs so i moved my footplates out of the way and just marched as best as i could. You can always do the arm jacks instead of the marching in between to change it up or if it's easier for you. Thank you Caroline for an awesome workout. I'm off to try your chair yoga next!❤
i love the positivity! i’m so proud of myself and anyone here for taking their first steps ❤️ (i sweat so much doing this lol) i’m 283 at 17 years old and this makes me really optimistic towards my future
Thank you very much for this very challenging chair cardio exercises. I am a walk at home enthusiast but stopped lately due to strained achilles tendon. With your exercise i find it comfortable and once again able to sweat out. Am 66 yrs old and a filipina. Looking forward to seeing your exercises on youtube often. Thanks again.
This was such a powerful workout not just physically but emotionally, at one point I started to cry. I was injured over the weekend and cannot do my normal work out and was searching for something that I could do to get me through until I'm cleared to resume my workouts. This was an amazing Segway and I worked up a sweat and really enjoyed the challenges that came with it. I will absolutely keep this in my library. Very uplifting
Omg you are my new best friend...with my limited mobility and all the weight i have gain * have never been able to find what would work for me in terms of exercise...I am actually starting this tomorrow and will keep you posted. I am starting at about 240 lbs so here we go woohoo
Happy 40th from uk . im 41 now with mobility knee issue and ibs and over weight thyroid and this is motivating me so hope it can get rid of my aches n pains too and fatiuge daily struggle
I love your workout and your attitude. I was really into fitness until an injury sidelined me. I gained 50 pounds! I have decided to start taking care of myself and have been very careful about my diet but need a workout just like this to get my health back. Thank you for your unparalleled enthusiasm!
I love you so much! You're so genuine and authentic and no BS, while still being so positive and motivating and making me laugh! Such a breath of fresh air! Thank you!
I live in a tiny flat with many creaky floorboards so I don't have many options for working out at home. I also work from home since the pandemic started and due to ADHD/social anxiety, I don't like to go outside, so this video was perfect for me! You're so motivational and you can tell that you really care about your viewers and the people who are working out with you, which is so lovely. Thank you Caroline x
Caroline got me through a foot fracture and I was more toned and fit than before the fracture. Her loving exuberance helped me get through . She is the best .
My friend recommended me to you! I’m SO glad she did! I HATE cardio, but I’ve let myself go after becoming a mother. I’ve recently started keto and started taking back control of my body to be a better my husband, my son (so he has a physically fit mom who can do things with him without being so winded I can no longer stand it), but most importantly for me! I want to feel better both mentally and physically and really work on my inner positivity!! Thank you so so much for creating these workouts. I am so excited to continue on this journey and do more!
I was semi sedentary for a few years. 62 with back issues... I tried this for the first time and am sweating from the workout. Thanks for you and your Channel.
I have been doing your chair workouts for about two years, I started originally due to some toe injuries and then due to a knee injury. I love still doing these chair workouts even though I am all healed. My request is that hopefully you will do some new videos for chair workouts so I have some new ones to do! Thank you!
Thank you so much I came across this video today and I have to say it was a great workout. I was discouraged from working out due to my physical disability but I’m thankful that I found this video and I modified it so that I can follow the workouts to the best of my ability thank you so much!
I have knee problems and have to be extremely kind to my knees. I found this video on You Tube and I am grateful. I wasn't sure if I would get a good cardio workout or not, but you have proved me wrong. I enjoyed the workout, kept my heart rate high, and broke a sweat. I will continue to do these exercises every other day. I swim .75 to 1.0 miles in a pool the other days. I am happy, my knees can actually do 8K - 10K steps just regular walking, and now I can do cardio and strength with you. Thanks for an awesome workout!
Dear Caroline, as always, thank you. You are an awesome coach. You keep me away from joint pains at my 40X2=? 🤪age. Thank you for keeping me young not only at heart because of your sweetness but also physically speaking. May God bless you always.
Thank you so much for this, you honestly saved my sanity, I'm going through a whole lot right now, on the brink of emotional death, but I put play on this and now feel like there's hope in life, you're awesome thank you again.
@@dr.hawkinsmax6623 . Your so welcome. Keep thinking positively and life will and does get better. Look after yourself and most importantly look after your personal health and well being. Lucy.xx
I am a 58 year old female. I routinely exercise an hour a day, bike riding, walking. Have broken bones in my foot at the moment so I have found Caroline’s videos a god send and will probably still keep incorporating them into my exercise routine when my foot has healed. Thank you Caroline!
At the age of 58 and 250lbs this was great! I have two torn meniscus and I had no problem doing the exercises. I look forward to doing them at least twice a day. thank you.
I need back surgery and I am in a ton of pain right now but I still want to stay active. My coach for weight loss recommended you to me and holy moly even tho I can't do much with my legs right now...that was the best work out I've had in a long time. I subscribed to you now. You're awesome!
Caroline YOU are amazing! I needed some seated cardio for one of my Pilates clients and you know where I had to come for inspiration!!! I am very happy that I am past my hurt foot days. But you just made me laugh and smile and giggle and feel great just watching. You are such a positive force in the world. Thank you for all you do to bring health and happiness to those around you.
Injured marathon runner here, hamstring, partial tear. I'm cleared for upper body strength, but I can't work upper body weights everyday! I can do elliptical, but I need some home-cardio to warm up for my PT exercises, and to just not feel sluggish. Thank goodness I found your workout!
Caroline , thank u so much for your chair cardio! These are the best ! I suffered a knee surgery and these exercises helped me putting myself back together ! I am still recovering but without you I would have been so much worse . Thank u so much ! I just did the workout party u did yesterday! And it’s 🔥🔥🔥! I love every video u do ! You helped me not to give up when the times were rough
I'm so excited I found your workouts! I have POTS and Ehlers Danlos so I've been unable to exercise except swimming for so long and everytime I try to start to get fit I end up in hospital or injured.. I tried this workout and I actually could do it without hurting or fainting! I had to go slower but I am so excited that I have finally found something i can do and get stronger with! Thank you so much and you make me smile with how encouraging you are it makes me want to keep going
You’re doing Gods work. The positivity love education and care is beautiful. May the universe and your higher power surround you with unconditional love strength happiness and peace of mind. I wish you all your hearts desires. Here after divorce, disability of physical and mental. You can’t imagine the impact this has on me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul.
I am a group exercise instructor and personal trainer and I just broke my foot and have been looking for ideas to add to the modified workouts I've been doing in my basement. I've never tried a chair workout and I found this really innovative and helpful! Thanks so much for your energy and positivity and your great ideas! I'll be logging on to as many as I can to get my heart pumping any way I can until I can stand up again :)
Recent knee surgery, no weight bearing, so this video helps with my attempt to maintain my weight as well as help with energy exertion for a better night's rest.👍🏼
This is an amazing starting off point and I’m so thankful that I found it. I’m a person who loves working out, but I have struggled so hard due to chronic fatigue and pain. It’s been so difficult figuring out what will work for me in the long term. No impact is the only way I can keep it up without going into a bad flare up. I’m so happy that the fitness community is beginning to be more inclusive. Thank you. 💖
Did this workout yesterday for the first time! I am stroke survivor with very limited use of my whole left side and in a wheelchair. Ive searched and searched for cardio workouts. This one finally did the trick and I'm sore! I miss the soreness of a good workout.
Due to a foot injury, I tried your chair cardio at a friend's suggestion. I'm impressed with how high my heart rate went, avg. 144. Was pleasantly surprised. Thank you!
Wow just wow, this was such an amazing workout video, I was LAUGHING during the workout. Your energy your words I want to do all your work outs now ! Thx for this ❤
Make sure at night caking your feet ankles in aloe or peppermint cream ...I couldn't walk for a wk when mine kicked off and was limping for wks until I put cream on them worth a try xx
I’m 66 and have been very fit. I have a foot injury which I’ve been working on healing since last January. I normally hike 5 miles 3 days a week and do HIIT workouts on the other days. I’ve tried doing standing, low-impact workouts, but doing split squats, for example, stresses my foot. I’m so happy to have found your chair workouts! I’m going to keep doing them, probably harder ones than this one so I can keep in shape while my foot continues to heal. Thank you!
Thanks so much for this. I have multiple chronic illnesses, extreme fatigue and limited mobility but I managed to do, in my own way, a bit of each exercise and it felt good!! I’d always avoided chair exercises because I thought they’d just be pathetic but these really moved my body. Hoping that over time I’ll build up to be able to do this whole routine through!! Thanks again!!
I love this workout.. Doing it for the June 27, 2021 Calendar fitness!!!!!! Awesome! Love your message, Caroline, that it's not necessarily about the numbers, but about how /exercise makes you feel!!!!!
Omg, Caroline, THANK YOU! I literally just did this workout at a laundromat :) I have a goal to exercise at least for 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week, and man, this is going to be a keeper. Thank you so much for the workout and for the positivity :)
Hi dear Caroline I have been down with a knee injury and I have been very active with my gym so since last one and half month I was on bed and resting my pain is less was doing my physiotherapy bit since being active person I had to do something in cardio I just came across your vedio and I followed it you won't believe I am feeling so so good after doing your program.me and I am going to follow you everyday you are just awsome and I am living thi whole chair workout thanku so so.much 😍
During this intense time in the world I have felt way more uncomfortable in my own body and mind. I decided today would be the day that I get control of myself. I am so glad I found your channel through this video! What a great workout and amazing vibrational boost. Thank you.
i am 21. i have been basically sedentary for 3 years due to mental illness. so much so that my joints and back hurt similarly to my 75 y/o grandmother. this is my first step to taking back my life and honestly i was crying throughout due to how positive and uplifting this video was and made me feel. i honestly have hope for the first time in a long time.

Thanks for sharing!
Not me crying like a baby at the end because you said you were proud of meeeee!! 😭 😭
I've been doing this lately. It came on again today after I had followed it for exercise. My three year old son grabbed a chair, got in it, and started exercising.
. Don't stop! 😄
Hello! I just did my first Chair Cardio work out and I loved it. I am 54 and I am coming back to life. Depression had me sedentary for a few years and I ballooned to 375 lbs. In the last few months I have been watching what I eat and moving again. I am down to 353 lbs and want to kick it up so I figured I would try this work out everyday during my lunch break at work. 1st work out down and I loved it. Thank you very much for the content, driection and positive vibes.
Thanks! Good workouts while I recover from foot surgery!
Hey! You should really check out my Hurt Foot Fitness program it has a TON of mental / emotional support resources AND a community www.hurtfootfitness.com/ . 100% worth investing in and we would love to have you! 💖
this is my second (maybe third?) week doing this work out 5 times a week and then Donovan's chair abs, and while I don't know (nor care) if I lost weight (never been one to use the scale), I feel for sure how my physical capability is improving, and coming from some one with a neuromuscular disease, that's quite an accomplishment !!
So thank you soooo much Jordan!!
Soooo happy to hear it makes you feel good!
I am so thankful I found you! I use to be a hardcore runner and gym rat, but as the years went by I am now suffering the consequences being so hard on my body, but I still love working…low impact is for me now and I feel fantastic!!!!
Hi Caroline. I have been using this video, and several others of yours, for several months. I'm almost 69 and was unhappy with the extra 50 pounds gained over COVID, and even more unhappy with my strength, stamina, and fitness. Thanks to healthy eating (NOOM) and you, I've lost 18 pounds and still at it. Thank you for giving me this free opportunity to enjoy working out with you.
So proud of you!
I never sweat so hard. I'm 53 and in need of weight loss. I changed my diet, I just need to incorporate a workout. Thank you for all you do. This is my first day, and it is perfect because i dont have to leave the house, nor do i have to buy special equipment, see you tomorrow.
You got this!
Beautiful workout! In a chair!! So glad I found you!! I needed your positive energy this morning!
I have a knee injury so I can't do some of these. Would love to see an intense chair workout that doesn't involve use of the knees.
Yes!
I am recovering from foot surgery, and this was just so perfect. I laughed when you said we don't need another injured foot LOL. I was like...yep! This was SO fun, I really enjoyed it and it was a perfect start to the day. I find focusing on what you can do vs what you can't is the way to actually move forward and make progress. Thank you!
I suffer from hypermobility which is especially bad in my knees since my knees are placed way too high up and I have very long stretchy ligaments so they can't hold my knees in place. I've tried everything from HIIT to barre to yoga and nothing worked. I just always had to end up doing workouts I wasn't comfortable doing. But when I found this I thought I'd try it and by the end I was crying because of how happy I was that id finally found something that I don't have to stop doing half way because I can't do the squat or the lunge. I did this without being afraid like I usually am. Thank you so much, you seriously felt like a therapist helping me work out my issues. Thank you.
Update: I ended up losing weight after doing this after days of remaining the same weight.
I have been cleared by my surgeon for light exercising following my Septoplasty/Turbinoplasty. I did the workout at a slow and easy pace and still got a great workout. Thank you for sharing this with all of us.
I hurt my knee this week and totally am bummed I can't do my normal workouts. I found this video and loved it! This had to be THE fastest 24 minutes EVER spent on a workout! So fun and effective! Thank you!
I like the replies I just found this app going to give it my all
I'm a 448 lbs 43 almost 44 I have Lupus, Fibromyalgia and Rheumatoid arthritis my days are always painful but today I happened to see your video was only able to do 13:42 mins of it but man it had me going wasn't as painful as others you were very up lift thank you I have saved this video till I can master it thanks again
When you said at 15:51 about struggling with fear, frustration and negative thoughts…I fought back tears. Thank you 🙏🙏
I’m 65 and workout or dance 6 days a week. I fractured my foot and need to stay off it for a few weeks. I still need to work out for my body and sanity. Was thrilled to find Carolyn’s chair cardio! Thank you Carolyn!
join us at www.hurtfootfitness.com/ Lori! I have so much more to offer you there on your road to recovery!
This is the first workout video I have ever seen that I have followed through with to the end. I have never felt so motivated and great after a workout. I have struggled all my 30 years with obesity, but now I truly have hope for something I can stick to and feel great about. Thank you so much for making these videos!!!
THANK you so much for commenting! Im so happy you are here on the channel Angelica!
@@CarolineJordan Hey how r u whats up can I ask u a ? plz
subscribed just for the POSITIVE content. I work from home so need chair work outs I can do when it's slow.
Caroline you are the best trainer ever!!! How can you keep talking and talking for 25min non-stop, with full of motivation, full positivity, it feels so fluent and the time passes sooo quickly! Thanks for being you!!!
Thanks for commenting and being here!
I just found you today and I am very grateful. I will be back. Having knee surgery in 3 weeks. Again, thank you!
Love this! I injured my knee and although I'm doing water aerobics, I can't get there every day with two jobs!! These are great...I wish there was a little music, but other than that they are GREAT!!
You’re a special and amazing young woman! To take your time for this amazing style of a simple chair workout and turning it into a full ranged cardio routine along with adding your heart and soul for others is a huge selfless sacrifice!❤This one is worth saving and using as a daily routine!❤ I’m 64 and I’ve been sedentary for a number of years after becoming ill with IBS, as well as, diabetes. I’ve also been battling with mental disorders for a number of years, which played a huge role in becoming inactive. Your Devine sprit has motivated me to utilize what I have and I thank you!❤
Im 43 years old and disabled. I have cerebral palsy and use an electric wheelchair and loved your workout. It was hard, since i've fallen out of exercising recently, but im recommitted to exercising 3 days or more a week now. For wheelchair users: for the marching parts i am able to move my legs so i moved my footplates out of the way and just marched as best as i could. You can always do the arm jacks instead of the marching in between to change it up or if it's easier for you. Thank you Caroline for an awesome workout. I'm off to try your chair yoga next!❤
Bro why this felt SO good
i love the positivity! i’m so proud of myself and anyone here for taking their first steps ❤️ (i sweat so much doing this lol) i’m 283 at 17 years old and this makes me really optimistic towards my future
Thank you very much for this very challenging chair cardio exercises. I am a walk at home enthusiast but stopped lately due to strained achilles tendon. With your exercise i find it comfortable and once again able to sweat out. Am 66 yrs old and a filipina. Looking forward to seeing your exercises on youtube often. Thanks again.
This was such a powerful workout not just physically but emotionally, at one point I started to cry. I was injured over the weekend and cannot do my normal work out and was searching for something that I could do to get me through until I'm cleared to resume my workouts. This was an amazing Segway and I worked up a sweat and really enjoyed the challenges that came with it. I will absolutely keep this in my library. Very uplifting
Omg you are my new best friend...with my limited mobility and all the weight i have gain * have never been able to find what would work for me in terms of exercise...I am actually starting this tomorrow and will keep you posted. I am starting at about 240 lbs so here we go woohoo
I’m turning 40 next month am way overweight and have a disability this workout was hard but rewarding. THANK YOU. I will be using this from now on
Happy 40th from uk .
im 41 now with mobility knee issue and ibs and over weight thyroid and this is motivating me so hope it can get rid of my aches n pains too and fatiuge daily struggle
I love your workout and your attitude. I was really into fitness until an injury sidelined me. I gained 50 pounds! I have decided to start taking care of myself and have been very careful about my diet but need a workout just like this to get my health back. Thank you for your unparalleled enthusiasm!
I love you so much! You're so genuine and authentic and no BS, while still being so positive and motivating and making me laugh! Such a breath of fresh air! Thank you!
I have hope again! This is the first day of a long journey! Put the past behind & restarting my life! Thank you so much!!
You are so welcome
I live in a tiny flat with many creaky floorboards so I don't have many options for working out at home. I also work from home since the pandemic started and due to ADHD/social anxiety, I don't like to go outside, so this video was perfect for me! You're so motivational and you can tell that you really care about your viewers and the people who are working out with you, which is so lovely. Thank you Caroline x
Exactly same here, this is perfect for small spaces 😌
Thank you my dear.I am broken to pieces when I injured my knee.You make me get my confident.God bless you
Can you make a chair cardio workout for people with lumbar back problems?
Caroline got me through a foot fracture and I was more toned and fit than before the fracture. Her loving exuberance helped me get through . She is the best .
My friend recommended me to you! I’m SO glad she did! I HATE cardio, but I’ve let myself go after becoming a mother. I’ve recently started keto and started taking back control of my body to be a better my husband, my son (so he has a physically fit mom who can do things with him without being so winded I can no longer stand it), but most importantly for me! I want to feel better both mentally and physically and really work on my inner positivity!! Thank you so so much for creating these workouts. I am so excited to continue on this journey and do more!
Thank you for this workout. As a person with disabilities, this exercise routine has been incredibly beneficial to me.
Wonderful!
I was semi sedentary for a few years. 62 with back issues... I tried this for the first time and am sweating from the workout.
Thanks for you and your Channel.
Thanks for sharing!
@@CarolineJordan r u okay wanna talk on Zoom
I have been doing your chair workouts for about two years, I started originally due to some toe injuries and then due to a knee injury. I love still doing these chair workouts even though I am all healed. My request is that hopefully you will do some new videos for chair workouts so I have some new ones to do! Thank you!
Thank you so much I came across this video today and I have to say it was a great workout. I was discouraged from working out due to my physical disability but I’m thankful that I found this video and I modified it so that I can follow the workouts to the best of my ability thank you so much!
I have knee problems and have to be extremely kind to my knees. I found this video on You Tube and I am grateful. I wasn't sure if I would get a good cardio workout or not, but you have proved me wrong. I enjoyed the workout, kept my heart rate high, and broke a sweat. I will continue to do these exercises every other day. I swim .75 to 1.0 miles in a pool the other days. I am happy, my knees can actually do 8K - 10K steps just regular walking, and now I can do cardio and strength with you. Thanks for an awesome workout!
Thank you remembering those of us en route to healing. This was fun and more challenging than it looked, respect to the chair jacks! I feel amazing!!
Dear Caroline, as always, thank you. You are an awesome coach. You keep me away from joint pains at my 40X2=? 🤪age. Thank you for keeping me young not only at heart because of your sweetness but also physically speaking. May God bless you always.
Thank you so much for this, you honestly saved my sanity, I'm going through a whole lot right now, on the brink of emotional death, but I put play on this and now feel like there's hope in life, you're awesome thank you again.
Well done
@@lucymacbride8287 Thank you mam.🙂
@@dr.hawkinsmax6623 . Your so welcome. Keep thinking positively and life will and does get better. Look after yourself and most importantly look after your personal health and well being. Lucy.xx
@@lucymacbride8287 I sure will mam, it means a lot to me, your words are so inspiring 💖.
I am a 58 year old female. I routinely exercise an hour a day, bike riding, walking. Have broken bones in my foot at the moment so I have found Caroline’s videos a god send and will probably still keep incorporating them into my exercise routine when my foot has healed. Thank you Caroline!
At the age of 58 and 250lbs this was great! I have two torn meniscus and I had no problem doing the exercises. I look forward to doing them at least twice a day. thank you.
two?!! i hope you’re fully recovered 💕 i’m struggling with just one tear!
I need back surgery and I am in a ton of pain right now but I still want to stay active. My coach for weight loss recommended you to me and holy moly even tho I can't do much with my legs right now...that was the best work out I've had in a long time. I subscribed to you now. You're awesome!
Love this! I am 47 with arthritis in my knees, spine, shoulder and hands. This was my first time exercising in years. Thank you 😊❤

Hi Caroline just tried your chair workout for the first time this morning and loved it, you’ve sold me! Thanks
Caroline YOU are amazing! I needed some seated cardio for one of my Pilates clients and you know where I had to come for inspiration!!! I am very happy that I am past my hurt foot days. But you just made me laugh and smile and giggle and feel great just watching. You are such a positive force in the world. Thank you for all you do to bring health and happiness to those around you.
Injured marathon runner here, hamstring, partial tear. I'm cleared for upper body strength, but I can't work upper body weights everyday! I can do elliptical, but I need some home-cardio to warm up for my PT exercises, and to just not feel sluggish. Thank goodness I found your workout!
Caroline , thank u so much for your chair cardio! These are the best ! I suffered a knee surgery and these exercises helped me putting myself back together ! I am still recovering but without you I would have been so much worse . Thank u so much ! I just did the workout party u did yesterday! And it’s 🔥🔥🔥! I love every video u do ! You helped me not to give up when the times were rough
I love you positivity and energy.
I'm so excited I found your workouts! I have POTS and Ehlers Danlos so I've been unable to exercise except swimming for so long and everytime I try to start to get fit I end up in hospital or injured.. I tried this workout and I actually could do it without hurting or fainting! I had to go slower but I am so excited that I have finally found something i can do and get stronger with! Thank you so much and you make me smile with how encouraging you are it makes me want to keep going
I'm 72 and just found this workout. Loved it and will be looking for more of your videos. Thanks.
I’m on day 13 with this video. I do it ever day at 7pm. Thank you for your help.
Words can't describe how much these chair exercises mean to me...thank you
Glad you like them!😊😊😊
Thank you so much for the great workout and words of encouragement! ❤️This workout!
You’re doing Gods work. The positivity love education and care is beautiful. May the universe and your higher power surround you with unconditional love strength happiness and peace of mind. I wish you all your hearts desires.
Here after divorce, disability of physical and mental. You can’t imagine the impact this has on me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul.
I am a group exercise instructor and personal trainer and I just broke my foot and have been looking for ideas to add to the modified workouts I've been doing in my basement. I've never tried a chair workout and I found this really innovative and helpful! Thanks so much for your energy and positivity and your great ideas! I'll be logging on to as many as I can to get my heart pumping any way I can until I can stand up again :)
thanks!
@@CarolineJordan U r the best
@@CarolineJordan U look sweaty I look sweaty and u r beautiful and awesome
Recent knee surgery, no weight bearing, so this video helps with my attempt to maintain my weight as well as help with energy exertion for a better night's rest.👍🏼
This is an amazing starting off point and I’m so thankful that I found it. I’m a person who loves working out, but I have struggled so hard due to chronic fatigue and pain. It’s been so difficult figuring out what will work for me in the long term. No impact is the only way I can keep it up without going into a bad flare up. I’m so happy that the fitness community is beginning to be more inclusive. Thank you. 💖
Did this workout yesterday for the first time! I am stroke survivor with very limited use of my whole left side and in a wheelchair. Ive searched and searched for cardio workouts. This one finally did the trick and I'm sore! I miss the soreness of a good workout.
Due to a foot injury, I tried your chair cardio at a friend's suggestion. I'm impressed with how high my heart rate went, avg. 144. Was pleasantly surprised. Thank you!
ive had a knee injury for several weeks and its been hard to keep moving, im so glad i came across your channel
Wow just wow, this was such an amazing workout video, I was LAUGHING during the workout. Your energy your words I want to do all your work outs now ! Thx for this ❤
I'm 39 and have rheumatoid arthritis. I really love your spirit. Keeps me active. Thank you so much 🌹🌹
You are so welcome!
My plantar fasciitis is keeping me from my regular walks. I think I'll try this.
Make sure at night caking your feet ankles in aloe or peppermint cream ...I couldn't walk for a wk when mine kicked off and was limping for wks until I put cream on them worth a try xx
I’m 66 and have been very fit. I have a foot injury which I’ve been working on healing since last January. I normally hike 5 miles 3 days a week and do HIIT workouts on the other days. I’ve tried doing standing, low-impact workouts, but doing split squats, for example, stresses my foot. I’m so happy to have found your chair workouts! I’m going to keep doing them, probably harder ones than this one so I can keep in shape while my foot continues to heal. Thank you!
join us at www.hurtfootfitness.com Jean! I have so much more to offer you there!
Thanks so much for this. I have multiple chronic illnesses, extreme fatigue and limited mobility but I managed to do, in my own way, a bit of each exercise and it felt good!! I’d always avoided chair exercises because I thought they’d just be pathetic but these really moved my body. Hoping that over time I’ll build up to be able to do this whole routine through!! Thanks again!!
I have plantar fasciitis and this sitting exercise help me doing my routine workout.
Thanks for sharing!
I feel so much better after working out. I work at a desk all day and this helps to add to my daily workout!
My aunt is doing this workout and she needs more work but thanks for all most getting her in shape
I love this workout.. Doing it for the June 27, 2021 Calendar fitness!!!!!! Awesome! Love your message, Caroline, that it's not necessarily about the numbers, but about how /exercise makes you feel!!!!!
Haven't smiled or laughed in a while & you helped me do that. Thank you
Omg, Caroline, THANK YOU! I literally just did this workout at a laundromat :) I have a goal to exercise at least for 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week, and man, this is going to be a keeper. Thank you so much for the workout and for the positivity :)
