    T-12 para, been getting back into fitness, looking for a good core workout & this has been PERFECT! Simple but challenging, and easy to modify. I even added a set where the motion is just doing the "Cabbage Patch", but it works. I've found that I can seamlessly move from this into a cardio routine & already be warmed up.

    Thanks Ben for mentioning this workout today. It's a keeper. It was easy for me with a 1 lb weight. I am going to keep doing it but making it harder by lowering back rest so that I can eventually do it sitting without support, increasing weight. Eventually doing it sitting on a cushion if possible.

As a woman with Cerebral Palsy and a wheelchair user, it is so hard to find workout routines that I can do from my chair. Thank you so much for such a great workout and for helping me get back to my best self!! :) P.S. You're right it looks easier enough but after a few sets with weights, it keeps butt!! I will definitely put your company up on my business's website :)

  • @katiem7229
    @katiem7229 4 місяці тому

    Just found your workout. Had a double stroke last summer and am becoming much stronger but all they focus on is getting me to use my arm and leg. Being 43 they have not really taken much else in to consideration as I spent most of the first few months in extended care where I was not expected to do much at all. Now I am out and fairly independent and want to look and feel my age but half of my abdomen has very little ability to support me and trying to do certain exercises have been hard because of the lopsided issues. This work out however I was actually able to mostly do and not fall. It got much harder as it went so I see the value in it and I can see how it could even help me with the exercise for my weaker arm. I have no idea what I am doing and everyone thinks if I get a leg brace I’m going to walk lol. At least with something like this I feel like I might learn to no constantly fall to the side. Thank you. I look forward to your other videos.

    Great workout Ben. Feedback I would have is - I like the camera one you in a full shot when I can see the movement pattern fully and try keeping time with you. When the camera was from the side with only your upper torso/head I found it more difficult to follow. That's just my preference. Also found my new backrest gives me great stability :-), which somewhat made the core part of the workout not quite as difficult. Next time I'll slide my butt forward more.

      Hey Lee I'm glad you like them! My workouts are generally geared towards the average person rather than athletes. However there are some that could benefit yourself. Any resistance band work would be great for joint stability allowing you to use your power more efficiently. And some of my cardio workouts will be good for the tennis!
