Beginner Seated Workout for Better Health
This seated beginner workout boosts your whole-body health in just 5, 10, or more minutes. It’s perfect when you're short on time or low on motivation. Start with 5 minutes—you might surprise yourself and keep going. Let’s move together at your pace!
Fully Seated Beginner Friendly Workout
We all know that staying consistent with exercise is key to getting the results we want. And when we’ve got the time and motivation, it’s much easier!
But what about those days when life’s busy… or you just don’t feel like moving?
We’ve all been there!
And I’m sure you’ve heard “just stay disciplined,” but when your energy is low, that advice is tough to follow.
It’s totally normal to lose motivation!
One way to break through those unmotivated moments and ensure you’re getting some movement to improve your health is to just show up—and start small!
Get yourself and your chair ready, hit play, commit to just 5 minutes, and give yourself full permission to stop after that.
If you’re done after 5, great! You showed up, you moved, and that’s a win. No guilt, no pressure. Get back to it tomorrow!
But eventually, here’s what can happen … Once you get going, often something shifts. You start to feel better, the momentum builds, and suddenly you’re fully engaged in the exercise, moving your body—and maybe even enjoying it!
And with this in mind, I’ve built it into this seated workout!
This workout is fully seated, beginner-friendly, and works the whole body. I’ve also included extra exercises (coordination and relaxation) to improve your overall health and movement. Plus, I give you prompts so you can stop at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 minutes, or go all the way to 30. You’re in control.
And as a bonus, out of the last 3 spots I filmed at, I like this one the best!
So if you’ve been low on time, motivation, or just need something gentle to get moving again, this one’s for you.

I’ll see you soon with more!
Until then...
Stay Moving. Stay Smiling. Keep doing the things you love!
