I've done core chair work before. This one contained some new moves and I loved it. I happen to enjoy core routines. My abs are strong which enabled me to extend the reps of each move. I came away all abuzz and feeling great. I used this routine to supplement one of your longer routines to reach the time I allotted to exercise today. I intend on doing several back-to-back of this video on a core focused day. Wonderful routine and thank you!...Anastasia

I'm very glad I have your site. This is the most I have ever worked out, thanks to you and your mother ❤❤

Wow! I sure do feel my core! I look forward to Tuesday mornings because, I know you will deliver another motivational, inspirational and effective workout! You are so creative in showing us different ways to safely move our bodies, from the bed, floor to a chair! Thank you for all you do! Mother Aiko & April! ❤😊💪☕️😁

Yippee, this was a great version on the exercises we usually do in the standing position. I most definitely felt the core area more from the sitting position. Kudos to you April for this video. Tell Aiko, she is such an inspiration, and I was delighted to see Mochi also. Thanks for helping to keep us motivated and moving forward as we put some juice in our joints for assisting us with improving our balance, stability, posture and breathing.

That was really interesting - I could do everything but the last one raising the legs and leaning back!!! I knew I needed to strengthen my core but that really brought it home 😳! I had a hysterectomy 22 years ago and have had no core since then. I really appreciate these core exercises. Love and hugs to you both from Morocco 🇲🇦❤️❤️❤️🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛ (my three cats 😉)

Thanks for sharing.... from the gymnastics center this morning, bars, rings, tumbling mat and trampoline

[beckyd]

Really felt that in my core! this is a good mini workout and as you said it can be done in sets of 3. thank you for your workouts 🙂

[margaret]

Thank you for this gentle workout that also demonstrates the core muscles well. I was impressed that Aiko could hold her legs up for so long; she's proof that exercise works! As are you, April, and I appreciate your creative and effective workouts!

[juliemickens]

You are a genius. I thought, oh, this looks easy, and it was indeed simple and straightforward, but it was a REAL core workout. The side twists felt great as a stretch too.

[cuztardo]

Can you do these exercises if you have a hiatus hernia?

[Kylie-fctw]

Just discovered your channel. I love it that your Mom is with you. The choice to sit or stand is wonderful! Am saving them to make it easy to find. Have subscribed with notifications. Thanks for doing this. 😊

[TheWistfulthinker]

That's a chonky kitty! <3 Is there any chance at all you could add side views to this video? I just want to be sure I'm sitting correctly, and most YT trainers don't do side views..unfortunately. I love these moves, though. I'm always looking for new moves to keep my abs guessing.

Thanks for this, it’s on my repeat, was looking for something to help my tummy
