Also the bonus nutrition guide is helpful with plans and help for you to succed. The exercises are not stressful or hard to do. The exercises are listed in areas as, stretching and toning. I found this book to be helpful because it's not hard. My doctor wanted me to start exercising slowly and work up. This is the perfect start.

My mom loves to do chair exercises so I got her this book. She really likes the illustrations and that there are several exercises that has different levels of difficulty. The illustrations are nice and large. Everything is explained well and there is even a four week exercise plan to help you get started.

I have been looking for a book to work through with my mom to help her gain strength and mobility post knee replacement. This is just what I was looking for. I appreciated how user friendly the book was. There are lots of exercises here and each one has an illustration. The illustrations are large and clear to see, even for someone with poorer eye sight. Everything is explained well and in a clear way. There is also some great tips on developing a routine and staying motivated. THere is a 4 week exercise plan to help you get started.

I liked how I can adapt the exercises to my physical abilities by doing them in a chair. There is one exercise that as a senior with limited mobility I’m unable to do and that’s the side plank. So I skip it. Some seniors probably can do it but not me. Which is ok. My reason for doing this type of exercise is I broke my leg and it’s taking several months to heal so I’ve become very stiff and my muscles have gotten really tight as a result of favoring the leg because of the pain. These chair exercises help me get back to having more flexibility and strength while being safe sitting in a chair for the most part.

It didn’t do what I was looking for.

Perfect exercises

I bought this book having tried one of the Chair-Yoga apps. I like the book better because I can take my time and the exercises are pretty straight forward anyhow. I am knocking one star off because someone needs to proof the text before this book is republished. There are several grammatical errors. And the position of the left-hand page numbers should appear on the open side (left edge) of each page like the right-hand page numbers - not on the gutter edge (bound side). This drove me a little nuts. Otherwise the book it's fine.

Great exercise book! I am in my late 60s and have difficulties exercising standing up. This book is exactly what I needed.I have been struggling with exercise for a while now due to the pain that I feel after doing normal classes/sessions at the gym. Not only do the exercises in this book not cause me any pain, however, they actually make me feel stronger and more mobile.With clear instructions, professional illustrations, easy-to-follow routines, and even exercise modifications/variations in case you have any localized aches/pains, you really couldn't ask for more!
