A quick seated Pilates and dynamic stretching session for seniors and beginners, with full-range mobility for hips and shoulders.

This quick chair workout is a gentle way to work out the kinks in the morning or add movement at any time of day. It focuses on full range-of-motion exercises, especially for the hips and shoulders, and none of the exercises involve rounding or twisting the spine, so the instructor presents it as a good option for people with osteoporosis. The video runs about 18 minutes.

Who Is It For?

Seniors and beginners, including people with osteoporosis, who want a gentle seated routine to loosen up and move better.

Who Is It Not For?

Not ideal if you want a standing, high-intensity or strength-heavy session; this is a seated, mobility-focused routine.

Key Benefits

Increases mobility through full-range movement, especially in the hips and shoulders, so you feel and move better afterward.

Things to Keep in Mind

Check with your doctor or physio first if you have osteoporosis or joint issues, move within a comfortable range and stop if anything hurts.
