60 Minute CHAIR EXERCISES for SENIORS 💗

60 Minute CHAIR EXERCISES for SENIORS 💗 | Full Body Workout at Home

This 60 minute chair exercise program for seniors covers gentle range of motion exercises, basic strength exercises, cardio, balance, core work, and finishes with stretching. This is a full body workout you can follow at home. The entire class is done from a chair. It is optional to use weights for the strength portion and if you can, I highly recommend using them.
I purposely haven't put music in this video simply because we are all different and I wanted to give you the option to listen to your own music. Put music on in the background that motivates you if you wish to have music on.
Please consider hitting the subscribe button to see more videos and please comment under the video to let me know what other types of classes you would like to see offered. If you turn notifications on, you will see future videos (hit the bell beside the subscribe button).
Wishing you improved health!
Jules

I love this 60-minute workout much more than the shorter videos. I feel I needed to work more on my whole body. I am 72 years old. Although it's an easy workout for now, if i am consistent, i should see some results. This is much safer than at the gym.

Thank you so much for caring about us. I have gone from not exercising to keeping a routine to really coming around to love it again (many moons ago when I was in the Army I was a runner/general fitness enthusiast and loved it but I got out in 1995!) Also loved the music not being on because I like to play my own music. But truly thank you so much and keep those longer videos coming!

You can definitely do this exercise program first thing in the morning. In regards to choosing a program that is ONLY stretching, my routines are fairly gentle so they should be fine to do. I'd suggest gently swinging your arms back and forth and walking on the spot for a minute first and then do the stretches.
