Chair Cardio & Strength HIIT Workout for Seniors & Beginners

Join me for this fun challenging but achievable 30 minute chair HIIT workout. We will alternate cardio movements to increase our rate with strength intervals using hand weights. You will perform exercises for your entire body in a seated position.
For reference, I'm using 5 pound dumbbells. Always begin with a lighter set of weights (or water bottles, soups cans) and increase the intensity as you grown stronger.
HIIT (high intensity interval training) is great for burning calories and weight loss! Most importantly, you will feel great after this workout!

I hope you like this fun chair workout that includes both cardio and strength training! Please let me know what you think in the comments and be sure to check out my other workouts!

I am 63, usually active at the gym, yoga studio, and cycling but am now recovering from foot surgery. Your videos are saving me and anyone who thinks chair exercises are not a workout has not tried them. Thank you!

[sherrylorraine]

You are my blessing, since I can no longer teach water Areobic’s, I’m Oxygen dependent during activities, so your videos give me a good cardio, strength and stretch!❤

Thank you Lauren! This is the sort of workout we are looking for, about a half hour long, seated cardio and strength. We hope you make many more similar to this and we have enjoyed all your previous seated exercises.

[stacischeetz]

Thank you-- I don't think I ever went to bed looking forward to a Monday morning workout! This was challenging to me, but I did it!! Continued gratitude to you.

[deekayvixen]

Yesss!!!! Thank you for posting another chair routine! Can’t wait to do this workout. I’m recovering from an ankle injury and chair workouts have been amazing to stay active 😊

Hi Lauren, I hope you had a nice Memorial Day weekend. This is another new favorite. I think even though this one is seated, it is bodyweight and good for osteoporosis.

I really love the seated workouts! I would love to see more of these. Thank you for providing these videos!❤

I am 70 and this exercise is very effective. I walk 6 miles 4 X a week and this exercise keeps my muscles very flexible and strong

[pamelad]

I have been working with you for a few months. But just found this one. Hardest one yet! Even more than the 45 minute one! Will probably be my go to from now on. Thanks! And I am 71 with a bad back!

[oravandroogenbroeck]

Thanks . I've been doing a variety of your session for 6 weeks and I can feel the difference. I am 74, had to give up my daily walk of 5 km due to arthritis in my ankles. Theses seated workouts Is a great alternative.

[tootsla]

I do gym weight and cardio 3/4 days a week. I’ve been looking for a faster pace chair workout for days in between or when I’m traveling. This is perfect. Thank you so much. Cheers!

[heavenbund]

Wow that was great!...I appreciate your hard work coming up with these routines both seated and standing! Thanks Lauren!!

[a.duarte]

I now have mild knee arthritis and was reluctant to try a chair workout. I have enjoyed your standing workouts and thought about how much of a workout can I get seated. Well, well what a workout. I have to eat my words. Amazing. Ty for creating workouts that I can still benefit from.

[michaelfern]

Did this workout today while the ankle is still healing. Really liked it. Got a good little workout. Thanks again Lauren and Michael for putting in the time and energy to create these videos for all of us. It makes a positive difference!

[duncanmacisaac]

I have done several of your workouts, and they are all good, but I find that this one to be best for me. The right length and just challenging enough.
