- Finding total body seated strength workouts for seniors has never been easier. There are hundreds, if not thousands of videos, articles, and images demonstrating the essential movements needed to maintain a healthy and strong body. The human body consists of around 650 muscles and 206 bones in which the muscles attach themselves to produce force for daily functions.
As we age, we begin to lose muscle mass if we don't do anything to counter this process known as sarcopenia. Sarcopenia is a natural part of aging in which all humans will experience starting after age 30. people who lead a sedentary lifestyle begin to lose as much as 3% to 5% per decade. Even if you are active, you will still experience some muscle loss.
Getting strong and healthy is the most important thing you can do as you age. Just because you lose some muscle, it doesn't mean you can't get some of it back. Finding workouts that designed specifically with seniors in mind should be on the top of your list with no time or muscle to waste.
As a Senior, you should incorporate 150 minutes of moderate endurance and strengthening activities into your week. These exercises can include walking, swimming, cycling, and some weight training each day to improve strength, flexibility, and balance.
Not to mention the importance of building your immune system along with increased strength in your bones to avoid fractures and dangerous falls. Applying this total body seated strength workout for seniors will significantly improve your ability to function throughout the day without feeling fatigued and low on energy.
Donovan Green's Chair workouts have been teaching members how to get fit while they sit without stepping foot in a gym or causing harm to the body for over 20 years.

I had so much fun creating this workout routine for my seniors and beginners. I hope you find this helpful and if you do, leave a comment.
Hi donavan. Just started doing your chair exercise & love it thanks,for sharing to us đđđ
really great workout!
Iâm a 60 year old woman with 3 fractures. A shoulder, right wrist and right leg. Had a broken a tibial plateau with 2 surgeries. Went through hell. You are the only video Iâve seen and can do it. Some of these people move 100 mph when training. I canât do those! This is a great one for me. Thanks so much!
Verdie McCann I'm excited to know that you were able to handle this workout. Keep in mind though. It dosn't matter how fast or slow someone is moving. You have to move at your own speed. đđŒđ
@@chairfitcamp I am a 58 year old recovering from Covid, My pulmonary specialist said I had to find a way to exercise to improve my lung capacity to get off oxygen. Not off but have gone done to 2 units... I have always worked out and now with your workouts I have begun to feel like me again ... Thank you so much and I love you can do it instead of try.. It gives me the extra push...
I appreciate you young man. My wife found your channel. At 73 I felt like I didn't need to workout anymore. You helped me today and I wanted to say thank you. I'll be back tomorrow and the days after that.
Thank you so much from a 70 year old â€â€â€
Great stuff from another 66 year old Senior Fitness Trainer. Definitely copying some of yours for my tool box. Nicely explained too âđŸ
I am a 75 year old lady, 5'2" weighing 170, goal 130, doing my best with the food, and I must say, I love your chair workouts, they are challenging for me a little. Chair is better for me because I have emphysema and get out of breath too fast standing, so thanks so much :) you are the best.
Love that you don't "baby" us during the workout.
I'm 65 years and your workouts are the best. Finally a workout without MUSIC!
Thank you
I'm so unfit, but enjoyed this workout even with my dodgy knee and will continue to do it daily Thank another man.
Broke my toe and couldnât practice my usual yoga and Pilates. Stumbled across this and this 65 year old is a devotee! Great workouts in a chair. I prefer a bench but definitely a powerful way to get fit. Luv this guy!
Iâm 35 with shinsplints and a tibial stress fracture thatâs still fresh. Was feeling bummed out about having to reduce my activity level and searched for seated workouts and found this. Now Iâm feeling encouraged that I have a baseline to stay mobile and minimize impact on my health while I ride out my healing process. Thank you đ€đŒ
Thank you for these videos, I've started moving, there's no more excuses for me,. THANK YOU
Letâs go Jennifer
I've been showing your chair workouts to my parents and they love it! Thanks for your help :)
I'm 70 yr. old, have osteoarthritis of the knees, overweight, and recently broke my left wrist (still in a cast) when I was pulled to the ground by the dog I was walking. it's been a long time since doing any exercises except some walking and want to get more fit. I have been searching and trying different programs on U T., this is my first workout with you, thanks for the routine and advice throughout, just what I need going forward to hopefully avoid a knee replacement.
You are a hero in my book Shirley. Just keep going and please keep your nutrition on point.
I just started your workout and I want to thank you for making these chair workouts, they have helped me so much, and thank the creator for directing me to you...
Seniors get the best work out TOO!! Just add a lil more weight if u like everyone can benefit!!! LET'S Goooo!!!
Always looking for seated workouts for seniors and came across this workout. I loved it. Will be looking for more from you. I have to do seated as I have bad knees, and this was perfect!! Thank you!!
Baby is saying a big thank you. So very glad I found these exercises.
Thank you for encouraging us to work at whatever level we can!
Finally found an excersise routine that fits my ability. Thank you.
Very good Donovan you are helping everyone and especially the older generation. Blessings be upon you and may GOD almighty grant the best that this world has to offer. NIKI

Thank you great workout
First time in 2 years that I have tried to get my body in better shape. Fighting breast cancer, along with two severe cases of the covid. Thank you for so much to help me get my body moving again I could not do everything you do but I did the best I can I will see you again tomorrow thank you again by the way I'm 75
These workouts are great for those in a wheelchair and can move their legs and arms. I have to modify some of the reps, but it makes me feel better because I'm moving! Thank you so much for your encouragement! âșïž
I have a broken ankle and I am loving the chair workouts đ
My physical trainer recommended your video for the 3 days I am not at workout. They are doable for BTK amputees. Thank you.â€
Im 46 with osteoarthritis so Im not a senior but my knees are jacked up. Thanks for this video!
OMG that was an awesome workout... When I need to rest my arthritis right knee this is perfect... thank you. Iâll be back
Hello Donavan
I found your site this morning. I am 80 years old. I have exercised most of my life.
I have a knee problem and am resting it for a minute.
I will be back soon and will be with you.
Thanks for the energy
Thank you so mucyh for the chair exercises. I have a bad foot I broke in an accident that will never be strong again and I am soon going to have a knee replacement. I found your videos a couple weeks ago and I try to do the exercises at least once a day but sometimes twice. I am building up my muscles and I am starting to see improvement.
Thank you for your patience in developing these various chair workouts for Seniors. They are very doable and exceptional. I like your persistence and how you are determined NOT to pet your Senior Citizenâs class. I agree with your motto: âMovement is Medicineâ! Keep up the good work. God loves you and so do weđ„°

love your senior videos!! Inspiring!
Really appreciated this workout. Thank you.
I feel more confident and safe doing Donovanâs work outs than others, even with my lower left leg casted.
Thank you so much my body feels much better đđđđđ
I'm Grateful that Im even able to even workout. Thks Donaven
I want to thank you, I'm 61 years old and I was born with club feet. The doctors said I would never be able to walk but I did. I've had 36 surgeries and almost had to have my one of my legs amputated cause I caught stayph infection on the operating table. I can't do a lot of things with my feet and legs but I can do almost all of your exercises. Thank you so much.
Just found you, now I'M KEEPING YOU!! After my gym closed, as well as the SENIOR CENTERS here in SEATTLE, it's been quite the CHALLENGE to find the right online workout instructor; especially when you're YOUNG AT HEART, and your body won't COOPERATE?! As you already know, there's a lot of GURUS online that have absolutely NO IDEA what they're doing. Lollll. In addition, I'm easily BORED, but NOT HAPPENING HERE!! Your SENSE OF HUMOR is a MUST in my book. I enjoy STAND UP workouts when I can, but when I can't, you've created the PERFECT BALANCE. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, for the blessing me today. Definitely passing your workouts along to friends and family.
Just found this-going to start tonight after work wish me luckđ
Thank you Donovan I am doing so good, thanks to uou!!!!
You make me smile! I needed that. I have severe osteoarthritis and this really helped. Thank you Donovan!
I don't class myself as a senior either (52!), but am healing a ruptured tendon in my ankle so need to take things carefully!
Found your chair exercises about a month ago and do them every day. Love your encouragement and spirit. Thanks
I love this channel. It's so needed.
Very good teacher very encouraging and supportive, thanks for your good work !
Good evening Mr Green, l am a barber and a client recommended your video to me. GREAT GREAT GREAT GOD BLESS

Thank you for this content! I am motivated daily!
Thank you Donavan these are great workouts and I love them â€
One of my top favorites of your videos đđđ
Thank you so much for this workout, I have missed going to the gym since the virus. I am not a senior yet, I am only in my 40s. But I have also been diagnosis with osteoarthritis and it has been hard to workout like I used to. I really enjoyed this workout and plan on doing it again. Keep up the good work!
This video is just fantastic! Thank you!
I love your work outs..thank you so much
Good morning, Donovan,
Another excellent workout. I'm happy and smiling another bite the dust.
Love this, I can feel it!
Love it. Definitely hit the subscribe button. Love the workout and your energy
Excellent workout đȘđŒthank you! â€
Great video. Great positive cuing. This is how I like to teach my seniors, nice to see someone who has the same caring attitude. Thank you.
I love this workout. I have bad knees and bad ankles so this is low enough impact that my body can handle. I like how Donovan gives alternative execersises and he explains what muscles to concentrate on while doing a particular exercise. I do wish it had more aerobic aspect, but I'll get that elsewhere.
Thanks so much. I'm in South Africa and Im so glad I can exercise with you. Good job.
Much love
I'm so glad I found you, I'm sharing your seated workouts for my friend whose young nephew had MS, and we got to help build his endurance, muscles.
