Re: Chair Exercise Program for Seniors

@patticakes On YouTube there is a mom and daughter who do both chair and standing exercises.  Its called Yes to Next.

The mom is in her 80's daughter 60's. I really enjoy them. The mom does chair, daughter standing.  I've been doing them for over a year.  Please give them a look!

@MoJoV That big fat cat slays me every time.  This team is just the cutest thing ever. They have a kettlebell workout that I do once a week.  It is short and to the point. My favorite part is when the daughter says, "This exercise is going to be isometric," and the mom says, "Uh-oh..." It tickles me!!

@MoJoV @Franklinbell Count me in as a yes2next fan, as well. I would encourage anyone, especially seniors or beginning exercisers, to check them out on YouTube channel.

 

I used my Pilates reformer for years but sadly had to retire it since the arthritis in my hands made it too uncomfortable to hold the cords. Finding yes2next.com has been a lifesaver for me. I believe I read that they have over 200 videos to choose from.

 

I do the 8 minute warm up and 9 minute standing core exercises every day and then choose a walking workout. It's fun, the Japanese American mother and daughter are delightful and I can see a real difference in my mental outlook and stamina in keeping up my household chores. Good luck @patticakes . I think you might enjoy yes2next.

@nevergivesup @MoJoV  because they produce so much content I tell everybody I know about them. One of my friends mom and young granddaughter love the videos! Of course her daughter's favorite part is Mochi! I also incorporate tips in my daily life.

@patticakes   I like Yes2Next fitness workouts on youtube......they are free. 

 

It's a mother/daughter team.  The mother is 81 and does the workouts seated.  The daughter is 61 and does them standing.  There is lots to chose from.

Re: Chair Exercise Program for Seniors

Sit and Be Fit.  Excellent 1/2 hour exercises.

 

The host has good references and consults with a variety of professional, certified (or whatever) people.

 

Check your program listings and find out all about this program.

 

They have a website.

 

All free, of course.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).
