I broke both ankles in a car accident and wanted to exercise. Bless you for thinking about people with disabilities. You don't think about it till it happens to you. Thank you. I am doing WW and love this video.😍😄
I"d been so proud of myself for exercising almost every day- and then I hurt my foot exercising! I'm determined not to get out of the habit and you're helping me- thank you so much! This is great!
I almost cried watching your videos. I have horrible plantar fasciitis with nerve entrapment. I felt like I couldn't do the workouts I wanted. I can't even walk some days. Thank you soooooo much !
I have it too, but not with nerve entrapment. May I suggest you try throwing a plastic water bottle in the freezer and using that (instead of a lacrosse ball, for instance) to sit and roll your foot/feet over, daily? It's incredibly good for plantar's fasciitis and has helped me a lot. The ice in the bottle numbs your foot a bit, while you roll it around. Feels great and no danger. :)
oh I hear you !!! I had it for three years, nothing worked. Then a friend who had it so bad in both feet that she was using a walker, recommended a physiotherapist. A month of firm pressure massage and me doing a lot of exercises involving a lacrosse ball and two foam wedges and it has been gone for over two years. Best feeling EVER! Still working on losing the weight I packed on while I could barely walk...
Dear Caroline, Your chair workouts have been a real ENCOURAGEMENT to me! I broke my 5th metatarsal bone in my right foot, and went from walking 4 miles a day, to wondering "WHAT WILL I DO NOW??" I found you...❤ and I know I will stay healthy during recovery now. I am 58 years old. This is my first broken bone. I will keep moving! Thank You!❤
I broke my ankle 9 months ago and gained 17 lbs. I still can't walk on it without pain, but I'm desperate and determined to get this weight off. Thanks, Caroline Jordan! I this is an unbelievably helpful video- and I love the encouraging words you provide.
I love your chair workout videos. I just committed to working out and eating a healthy diet again about 8 months ago. I was 16 pounds lighter and feeling great when I broke my foot a couple weeks ago. I really didn't want to get out of the workout habit or become totally sedentary with this injury and your workouts are just fabulous to keep me moving. Bless you for doing this!!!
After being in a boot for a month already, I came across this video. You say at the end to repeat if we feel necessary. I loved the first 18 minutes so much that I replayed it right away! Over 30 minutes of these exercises and DANG! I am sore today. I've been working out for 20 years and this hit all the spots I often neglect. THANK YOU! Even when the boot comes off, I'll be doing this workout for sure! Thanks!
I have gained weight since spraining/fracturing my ankle on Easter. It still hasn’t healed because it’s impossible for me to keep still. I have gained weight because of this injury, quarantine, my loss of work, and my SSRI. This video helped me SO MUCH! I was giggling, smiling, and sweating! Your positive and healthy attitude is what really did it for me. You’re a great teacher!! Thank you!!!
This is my husband's account, but I (his wife) have been doing your videos for the last few months. I have chronic tendonitis and haven't been able to run or jump. I don't know what I would have done without you Caroline! Seriously, your videos have been a lifesaver physically and mentally. And I'm totally adding your floor workouts to my exercise routine even when I'm cleared to run!
Thanks for the inspiration Caroline. Love your Hurt Foot videos. Saved my sanity during UK lockdowns, 3 bone cancer surgeries on my foot & leg, & recovery from chemotherapy. I feel stronger than to you xxx
I just love you! I am finally starting to transition out of a boot from Achilles reconstruction surgery. It is because of your videos I have not gained weight while basically being in a cast or boot for four months and I always feel better after. Thank you for what you do. Some days I get very down and miss my cardio. I always look forward to your videos and you challenge us despite the injury.
I'm four months into my healing and recovery from a broken femur and I totally understand you!! I miss my cardio and boot camp classes. This video has helped me keep going . I hope your doing well
Thank you for posting! I am a fitness instructor and had Achilles reconstruction surgery 10 days ago...this was the longest I had not worked out since I had my youngest 11 years ago! I enjoyed the workout and can't wait to try more!!! I'm still only 50% weight bearing on my foot with crutches so the chair was great!!! I also have chronic low back pain due to scoliosis, so anything to help that or core strengthening would be helpful too!
Thank you. I have foot neuromas and can neither jog nor walk with ease nor will I be able to. Your particular videos changed what I thought wasn't possible anymore in the way of exercise, and this one was my start. Your energy, vigor, positivity, - too many good qualities to list here... I'm very, very grateful as well for the compassion and understanding. Thank you again.
This is the best! I have bad ankles that restricts me from most stand up exercise routines. I couldn’t believe how this chair cardio had me sweating in a few short minutes! This chair cardio is so good that I am going to start doing this every morning and evening. It’s only 20 minutes, which is the recommended daily minimum. As Americans some of us have so much trouble with weight. This quick and effective routine should be mandatory for all, especially in this Pandemic. This routine should have its own channel on cable TV that just runs all day. I can’t believe how much I sweat! This routine is the bomb.com. I am 62 and if I can do it, anyone can. In fact, it is a good routine for seniors as well. I am glad I found it, 😅
June 2018 had a sanders 2 and navicular ankle break. 12 screws and a plate. Use to run 4 mile 6 days a week. I’m 61. Former Sgt USMC. My wife did vids like this and I would laugh. After a month of depression, I needed something cardio, something to make me sweat. Seeing someone in recovery with a positive attitude and a plan was inspirational and motivating. I do one of these vids everyday and this Marine smiles when I throw a sweaty T-shirt in the hamper. Thanks and speedy recovery to all. Simper Fi.
I found your hurt foot videos about a week ago. Broke a bone in my foot and wanted to stay fit while healing. I love your videos! Thank you for thinking of us busy healing.
I’ve been so frustrated with a foot injury. This workout made a big difference to my day. Thank you for the intensity of the workout and the emotional encouragement. What a gift you have given
join us at www.hurtfootfitness.com/ Emma! I have SO much more to offer you there on the road to recovery! You dont have to heal alone, im here for you!
I’m 5 weeks after breaking small bone and rolling over my ankle and have been feeling despondent lately as I’m normally a very fit and active person. I came across this video by chance, or was it ?! And Caroline, you made me smile. I sweat during the workout, my heart pumped and I realized I can still keep my cardio going even though I can’t jump up and down!!! Thank you so much, I feel my endorphins once again! Xxx
Thank you so much for your hurt foot videos, having broken my ankle whilst running during to the COVID lockdown, I felt a prisoner at home after being fitted with a boot. Then I found your channel, not only do I excercise with you wearing my boot , you've taught me how I can still do gardening & house work using your techniques , engaging abs , keeping my boot off the ground. The whole day is now a workout which feels fabulous. THANKYOU so much for keeping me sane & happy 💛
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Caroline! I broke my foot (lisfranc fracture) in multiple places and have been in a cast for 4 months. I was just put in a moonboot and have been struggling with energy levels being very low. Your videos get me moving and your energy helps lift my mood. Thank you so much for creating such an awesome specialized workout. ❤️❤️❤️
Not yet! But I'm planning on it. I also want to enroll in the hurt foot program. I'm getting married in November, so I need this tibia to heal ASAP and stay in shape! You're a life saver!!
It’s on my list, first thing tomorrow and so excited! Within only a week of my second stress fracture this year, your positive, encouraging, attitude and high-energy workouts have made non-running life a bit more tolerable. Thank you! Getting ready to box first thing tomorrow like someone stole my race training ... but gave me a fantastic speed back-up plan :)
Thank you Caroline. In a few days I will have ankle surgery and I found your channel. Did the first three in a row, and my wife came in and did the third one with me. Thanks. Love the clapping thing in the 3rd video. Didn't see that one coming!
I sprained my ankle yesterday and was quite worried since my main exercises is walking. Someone told me about cardio chair workouts, I found this one, and now I know I’ll be ok! My heart rate was up, I worked many parts of my body, and my ankle didn’t take any impact. Thank you!!!!
That was AWESOME!!! Had gotten myself into a bit of a funk about my foot. Thank God I got myself to my computer and did a Hurt Foot Video! There is no way not to feel better, physically and mentally. NO WAY! Thanks yet again, you really are a blessing.
WOW - thank you Caroline! 62 year old runner here with a ruptured plantar fascia! I'm in a cast and had fallen into a self-pity slump - this workout rescued my spirit! Thank you again!
i've struggled with my mental health for years, and i found that working out has really helped me in coping with that. tho i recently injured my foot so i've been really limited in what exercise i can do, which has been difficult. these chair workouts are life savers, letting me feel challenged while respecting what my body needs. thank you so much :)
my mom and i do this my my hurt her foot and this helps i started to do this everyday. thank you for this sweet Caroline. BA BA BAA Eidt: 2.25.2023 I'm still doing this with my mom and I'm feeling proud of myself
I did not expect to be sweating through this! This was the perfect level of intensity for me and no pressure at al on my feet. I am recovering from plantar fasciitis. Thank you so so much!
So happy I came across your chair cardio exercise. I was diagnosed with a vascular necrosis to my right ankle and I was so discouraged regarding getting the heart pumping. Knowing the my issue will not heal then I have to adapt a different way of living and exercising. Thank you for all you do to help others with your videos. Take care and stay safe.
THANK YOU!!!! I fell and twisted my ankle & fractured my fibula and thought I was done for 6 weeks and sooo depressed. Then I found your workout! Your coaching is funny, insightful, I love the options you give when you cannot move your foot and overall it's just pure fun! I would normally hit the pool with a buoy between my legs and drag and I did not ever think I would ever do a chair workout but with COVID and everything closed, I am so grateful for your workout. My heart rate went up and I feel great, cannot wait to do it again tomorrow!
Hi Caroline! I am recovering from a 5th metatarsal fracture and seriously believe I have kept my sanity by doing one of your workouts every day. Thank you so much! 😀
At 48, I had to have a partial knee replacement -- it did not go well, so I had to have another to repair. I have been feeling so horrible as I can't move well at all. I found these videos a few weeks ago and have been doing one every day or so. Oh my goodness, I feel so much better just for doing something physical! Thank you!!! I hope it helps me get in better shape for when I can finally walk without pain again...Thank you!!!
Your workouts are great...I have an ankle broken in 3 places that I had surgery on and I'm 7 months pregnant...I watch your videos with Beyonce in the background and feel sooo much better...and you have the kindest heart! thanks for your spirit!
Bless you...I'm a runner, but have had repeated issues with feet/hamstrings over the past two years. I've been searching for ways to stay in shape without making things worse. This was a great workout, and it didn't aggravate my injuries at all. One day I will be able to run again, but for now I'm very grateful to have these workouts as an option.
I never comment on youtube videos but this was so amazing and helped me feel so much better physically and mentally after knee surgery. I can bend my knee now, but not put weight on it. This was wonderful! I have a foot surgery coming up in a few months and will be using this for sure! Thanks so much for helping me today!!!
I badly sprained my ankle this is the 2nd time in 5 years this time I Won't let my injury define me. Thank you very much for your help. I will be forever grateful
Thank god for Caroline! I just re-sprained my ankle after injuring it for the first time back in April. It's frustrating to be back here, but I didn't feel nearly the same amount of panic as the first time because I knew Caroline and her hurt ankle workouts were here to help me. Thank you so much for all the videos :)
Just discovered this, ruptured both Achilles’ tendons about 4 months ago, just did the chair workout, thank you SO much for this. Feeling super pumped and positive for the first time with everything that’s happened!! Deffo going to keep this chair workout up!!
Hi Caroline, I just want to thank you for ALL of your hurt foot/ankle videos. I broke my fibula and ruptured numerous ankle ligaments just over three weeks ago and am so happy to be able to stay fit and strong while I'm recovering from surgery and am still even in a cast. I am so grateful. 🤗
Thank you Caroline. I have had surgery on my big toe joint a week ago. As a BRCA survivor I need to exercise every day, and my mental health and mood both depend on it as well! I have now done three of your chair cardio workouts and I am so glad to have found them / you. Your positive, upbeat spirit makes me feel great. I think my family probably thank you as well! I am now able to feel good and keep up my exercise regime during my recovery.
My sister (11) broke her leg one week into summer vacation. She's very athletic and has been so bored and ready to run the past month and this video made her feel so much like herself today! thank you!
Thank you so much for your videos. You keep up a strong pace both physically and verbally which is great because it doesn't let the self pity tapes start playing. You are such a good teacher and have a great sense of humor. Bless you for what you are doing.. I feet motivated watching you. Thank you so much...
I fractured a sesamoid bone in my right foot on 11/3/17. I have been so discouraged and then I found you!!! I cannot thank you enough for this!! Because of your testimony of healing and fitness I feel so much more encouraged!!
good workout! I'm a 71 year old male who broke his foot 6 weeks ago. My left foot is in a boot that weights 2.5 lbs. I have an ankle weight on the right, same weight. Try doing this routine with the extra leg weights! Pretty intense!
Thank you for posting your workouts. I have meniscus tear on my left knee cap. Most exercises I see involved moving my legs which hurts my left knee cap. May the Lord bless you with more wisdom & knowledge to teach us.
I had finally gotten back into a consistent workout routine for about 1.5 months, and then decided to switch it up by running/walking. 2 days into that, I missed a step on our stairs and sprained my ankle (between a Grade 1 and 2). I was super bummed. I'm doing rehab for it now, but know I can't get back into the cardio (and some strength training that I was doing) for awhile. I was happy to find these videos! Thank you for doing them!
Thanks so much Caroline for putting together these videos! I had lapiplasty surgery on my right foot and was itching to get back into physical activities a week later. I found your videos and workout to 4 of them. They have been key to getting me through this recovery mentally and physically! You are awesome!! 👍🤩👍❤
I love your videos. I broke my ankle 5 weeks ago and I am a person who hits the gym every day, runs, walks daily so I was really worried about staying in shape. Your challenging workouts and positive and humorous outlook have helped me so much. Thank you.
I had plantar fasciitis surgery 3 weeks ago and have been sedentary and have been hating it! I wheel around on my knee scooter to get some type of workout. I’m so glad I came across your Channel! I just did this workout and I feel great! Thank you sooo much for this content. I am so grateful for you 💕
I broke my foot yesterday ( metatarsal #5.) I am an avid cyclist and trail runner and honestly am struggling a lot right now accepting this. Thank you for this inspiration. I love you energy.
Finally! I'm 72, I've been an active outdoors person (fell running, hiking, rock-climbing) all my adult life but a climbing accident ten years ago, and the ensuing COR (=Carry On Regardless) behaviour exacerbated the ankle injury until, two years ago, the pain and symptoms changed and magnified enormously. I found a medical practitioner (fell runner) who gave me remedial treatment, brought back flexibility to the damaged ankle but the years of COR have caused nerve damage and I can NOT run any more. I need some extra cardio exercise and this video of yours seems to be exactly what I need. THANK YOU!
Love love love this! I am very active person. I had foot surgery about a month ago and have to be non weight bearing for 6 weeks!! Your UA-cam videos saved my sanity!!!!
Great workout! Harder than you would think. I'm in a boot from a foot fracture and feel so sluggish from lack of cardio. She's very positive and encouraging. I think I'll be sore tomorrow in a GOOD way! Thank you, Caroline!
Thanks Caroline. I sprained my ankle yesterday and needed some cardio today. Your video made me sweat with these exercises and got my heart pumping. This exercise is so helpful. I’m gonna do this everyday until my ankles are healed. Thank you.
I injured my knee in the spring and after months of more or less sedentary living I came across your video a few weeks ago. Physio is good but cardio is the missing piece of the puzzle. Have so much more energy now physically and mentally. Bless you!
Caroline, you are a life saver! I have a knee injury and I was very bummed out. My friend recommended your workouts and I am now doing the workouts every day and I feel so much better!!!! THANK YOU! From Ontario, Canada
I would have loved this when I broke my ankle 3.5 years ago. However, it still acts up on me so I did this today to give it a rest. Fantastic workout and you are so high energy and positive! That is a bonus because us hurt people can use all the positive we can get :) Thank you!
Thank you so much for putting this video together. I am recovering from an injury to my right leg caused by a relapse from multiple sclerosis. The first time I did the video I was only able to do only 16 min but as I continue I am able build up the strength and flexion I need through my leg.
Thank you so much for these videos o went from 2hrs of workouts and 20k steps a day to barely 3k and no workouts ... Was getting depressed until I found your videos 🙂I can express enough gratitude.
Yes you can say I'm glistening that's what I call it. I enjoyed the workout. Thank you for doing workouts in the chair. I think these are easier for me to remember, so if I don't have access to your video I can still do the routine
OMG!! I LOVE your advanced workouts!! I would LOVE to get more of them!! I didn't think I could get a descent workout without jumping/running. I broke my foot just over 7 weeks ago and I just found out I have at least another 3 weeks. Your positive, upbeat attitude is just what I need to help me stay the same way while getting through this injury. PLEASE MORE ADVANCED WORKOUTS - they are AMAZING!!! :)
So happy to discover these vids/routines. I’m a late comer to working out as I dealt with chronic health issues for years., which included several leg injuries. Finally got them addresses a few years ago and have been going strong for awhile. Even picked up running about 2 years ago and, to my shock, love it. As if shelter in place wasn’t bad enough, I broke my foot in a freak fall last week and am looking at surgery in a few days. Found your YT channel and this and some other vids have kicked my butt in the best way. Will be working these into my recovery plan to maintain the fitness I’ve found. Thanks!
This is awesome! I’ve been dealing with plantar fasciitis for years and now I can get my cardio in without foot pain! You can’t imagine how grateful I am to you for this! Thank you!!
Thank You Caroline. You’ve helped to keep me positive on my foot journey from May 2019 to now following a plantar fascia tear that finally needed surgery in May 2021. I’ve lost count of the weeks/months in a boot followed by a regime of rehab exercises to plasma and cortisone injections. I’m still on the journey and see a little bit of light with your non weight bearing exercises ☀️ I’m still in rehab but hope I’m able to go for a walk by the end of 2021. Thank you for keeping me sane 😀
Thanks for this sweat-worthy workout Caroline! I'm a runner and had some reconstructive foot surgery at the end of June. Since then I've been improvising bed or recliner workouts, but wasn't creative enough to pull together anything close to this. You've given me the best options, and the best sweat in six weeks! I needed both badly. Thanks again, and keep up the super work.
I found this video after searching for a cardio workout that won't aggravate an ankle sprain and I really enjoyed it. I had to modify some of the exercises to fit my fitness level but my heart rate was up and I LOVED your positive attitude and energy! I'll be doing this video again and checking out your other videos in the future. Thank you so much for sharing your talents!
This was a great workout, especially considering I was sitting the whole time! I fractured my ankle a week ago today, so I put a pillow under my foot to ease the tension of my injured foot hitting the floor.
Ryann- you and I are in the same boat! I just fractured my ankle too. I hope you feel better. I'm definitely going to take your suggestion about the pillow.
I’m so glad I found this! I have been resting my ankle per doctors orders and I haven’t been able to work out as I normally would. This was a very challenging cardio workout for me and I feel like I actually did an effective workout!
I found your workout on a search, because I recently had surgery for a broken and dislocated ankle with 2 torn ligaments. I injured it sliding into 3rd base in my baseball league, and it was painful. But I've been upbeat and doing everything I can to heal and I hope this helps me in my fitness goals as well too! Thanks for making these videos for people in situations like myself. What a great mission. Thanks!
Thank you! I am recovering from a knee surgery and this video and your great attitude is helping me on my journey back into fitness. Just what I needed to lift my spirits!
You are amazing! I know what you mean about usual chair workouts. They are boring. I have ankle pain from nerve and bone issues and it is painful to do standing exercises. While waiting for surgery til coronavirus danger has passed, I am doing your seated exercises. Your workouts make me sweat and smile!
I'm a really active person, my brain can't function properly without physical movement. I tore all the tendons in my knee and I'm waiting for surgery. This cardio was so great, I got to move, raise my heart rate and best of all your positive attitude and energy made me laugh! Thank you! I look forward to using this video on a daily basis!
Thankyou for all your good work Caroline .This has raised my heart rate every day . I do my own weight and yoga afterward. Six weeks out from a foot fracture. So happy I found you. Your bright optimistic spirit is contageous. Xray tomorrow holding fingers !
This is one I started with when I had a broken ankle and loved it. A year later this is the one I come back to when I've been out of my exercise routine for whatever reason. It's a great way to start back as it's just the right length and intensity when you've been out of the groove.
More, more, more like this one please! 30 minutes? I'm waiting for a total hip replacement so I modify a lot. This video is the closest to being challenging for someone who uses a wheelchair (I work out in a workout bench) yet needs an intensive workout (weightloss goals to qualify for said surgery). Thank you. (I had to write now because I may not be thinking kind thoughts tomorrow 🙃.
I broke both ankles in a car accident and wanted to exercise. Bless you for thinking about people with disabilities. You don't think about it till it happens to you. Thank you. I am doing WW and love this video.😍😄
I’m also doing weight watchers and I love this video as well
Me too!
I am also doing WW and I have just started doing Caroline’s video. I am feeling motivated and I look forward to getting good results. ❤❤
I"d been so proud of myself for exercising almost every day- and then I hurt my foot exercising! I'm determined not to get out of the habit and you're helping me- thank you so much! This is great!
Omg same!!!!! I was on a great streak til I got injured 😭😭
I feel ya mate. I've been hit with an ankle injury today. Hope this would help me.
ima kickboxer those box techniques are laughable, but then again this is no boxing training. its cardio
The hart love reaction thing, its the only love i got in 1,5 years fu im lonely.
and it certainly did and is still helping me during this whole COVID19 lockdown period. Thank you
I almost cried watching your videos. I have horrible plantar fasciitis with nerve entrapment. I felt like I couldn't do the workouts I wanted. I can't even walk some days. Thank you soooooo much !
I have it too, but not with nerve entrapment. May I suggest you try throwing a plastic water bottle in the freezer and using that (instead of a lacrosse ball, for instance) to sit and roll your foot/feet over, daily? It's incredibly good for plantar's fasciitis and has helped me a lot. The ice in the bottle numbs your foot a bit, while you roll it around. Feels great and no danger. :)
I suffer from that too. So painful. Love this video!
oh I hear you !!! I had it for three years, nothing worked. Then a friend who had it so bad in both feet that she was using a walker, recommended a physiotherapist. A month of firm pressure massage and me doing a lot of exercises involving a lacrosse ball and two foam wedges and it has been gone for over two years. Best feeling EVER! Still working on losing the weight I packed on while I could barely walk...
I'm autistic I'm not broken anything.. but i do this my mom. and she hurt her foot
I am 73, have slowly been losing weight and getting back in shape over the past year. This is a perfect workout for me, thank you!
Dear Caroline, Your chair workouts have been a real ENCOURAGEMENT to me! I broke my 5th metatarsal bone in my right foot, and went from walking 4 miles a day, to wondering "WHAT WILL I DO NOW??" I found you...❤ and I know I will stay healthy during recovery now. I am 58 years old. This is my first broken bone. I will keep moving! Thank You!❤
This was so helpful, both mentally and physically. I’ve been feeling very helpless after my injury. thank you!
I broke my ankle 9 months ago and gained 17 lbs. I still can't walk on it without pain, but I'm desperate and determined to get this weight off. Thanks, Caroline Jordan! I this is an unbelievably helpful video- and I love the encouraging words you provide.
It's a medicine for me,dear Caroline
I’m recovering from a sprained ankle and really appreciated this workout! Thanks!

Didn't know how I would exercise with a broken ankle but you are the salvation! Thank you much!
I have gained weight since spraining/fracturing my ankle on Easter. It still hasn’t healed because it’s impossible for me to keep still.

This is my husband's account, but I (his wife) have been doing your videos for the last few months. I have chronic tendonitis and haven't been able to run or jump. I don't know what I would have done without you Caroline! Seriously, your videos have been a lifesaver physically and mentally. And I'm totally adding your floor workouts to my exercise routine even when I'm cleared to run!
Once again, you are AMAZING Caroline. Can't thank you enough for the physical and psychological stregnthening workout!
You're so welcome!
Thanks for the inspiration Caroline. Love your Hurt Foot videos. Saved my sanity during UK lockdowns, 3 bone cancer surgeries on my foot & leg, & recovery from chemotherapy. I feel stronger than to you xxx
Thank you! Nursing an injured toe right now and trying to stay active to keep my spirits up. This was perfect.
I just love you! I am finally starting to transition out of a boot from Achilles reconstruction surgery. It is because of your videos I have not gained weight while basically being in a cast or boot for four months and I always feel better after. Thank you for what you do. Some days I get very down and miss my cardio. I always look forward to your videos and you challenge us despite the injury.
I agree 100% with Elizabeth! You rock!!
I'm four months into my healing and recovery from a broken femur and I totally understand you!! I miss my cardio and boot camp classes. This video has helped me keep going . I hope your doing well
Thank you for posting! I am a fitness instructor and had Achilles reconstruction surgery 10 days ago...this was the longest I had not worked out since I had my youngest 11 years ago! I enjoyed the workout and can't wait to try more!!! I'm still only 50% weight bearing on my foot with crutches so the chair was great!!! I also have chronic low back pain due to scoliosis, so anything to help that or core strengthening would be helpful too!
Thank you. I have foot neuromas and can neither jog nor walk with ease nor will I be able to. Your particular videos changed what I thought wasn't possible anymore in the way of exercise, and this one was my start. Your energy, vigor, positivity, - too many good qualities to list here... I'm very, very grateful as well for the compassion and understanding. Thank you again.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!! This is helping my mental health in the midst of starting school with a boot!

I found your hurt foot videos about a week ago. Broke a bone in my foot and wanted to stay fit while healing. I love your videos! Thank you for thinking of us busy healing.
I’ve been so frustrated with a foot injury. This workout made a big difference to my day. Thank you for the intensity of the workout and the emotional encouragement. What a gift you have given

I’m 5 weeks after breaking small bone and rolling over my ankle and have been feeling despondent lately as I’m normally a very fit and active person. I came across this video by chance, or was it ?! And Caroline, you made me smile. I sweat during the workout, my heart pumped and I realized I can still keep my cardio going even though I can’t jump up and down!!! Thank you so much, I feel my endorphins once again! Xxx
Had foot surgery on May 17th in Boston . No exercise or movement suggestions - this is just terrific! Loved this one and yes I "sparkled"
Hi Caroline...I don't know what I would do without your chair cardio videos...keep'm comin'!!
Thank you so much for your hurt foot videos, having broken my ankle whilst running during to the COVID lockdown, I felt a prisoner at home after being fitted with a boot.
Then I found your channel, not only do I excercise with you wearing my boot , you've taught me how I can still do gardening & house work using your techniques , engaging abs , keeping my boot off the ground. The whole day is now a workout which feels fabulous. THANKYOU so much for keeping me sane & happy 💛
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Caroline!
I broke my foot (lisfranc fracture) in multiple places and have been in a cast for 4 months. I was just put in a moonboot and have been struggling with energy levels being very low.
Your videos get me moving and your energy helps lift my mood.
Thank you so much for creating such an awesome specialized workout. ❤️❤️❤️
Join us at www.hurtfootfitness.com Gabrielle!! I have SO much more to offer you there!
This is fantastic! Definitely a hot sweaty mess after just 20 minutes. This injured runner appreciates the chair running. Thank you, Caroline!
Not yet! But I'm planning on it. I also want to enroll in the hurt foot program. I'm getting married in November, so I need this tibia to heal ASAP and stay in shape! You're a life saver!!
It’s on my list, first thing tomorrow and so excited! Within only a week of my second stress fracture this year, your positive, encouraging, attitude and high-energy workouts have made non-running life a bit more tolerable. Thank you! Getting ready to box first thing tomorrow like someone stole my race training ... but gave me a fantastic speed back-up plan :)
I have been doing your exercises and have progressed well. Today I did this workout and did not have to stop to rest, I simply worked with you.
Thank you Caroline. In a few days I will have ankle surgery and I found your channel. Did the first three in a row, and my wife came in and did the third one with me. Thanks. Love the clapping thing in the 3rd video. Didn't see that one coming!
I sprained my ankle yesterday and was quite worried since my main exercises is walking. Someone told me about cardio chair workouts, I found this one, and now I know I’ll be ok! My heart rate was up, I worked many parts of my body, and my ankle didn’t take any impact. Thank you!!!!
That was AWESOME!!! Had gotten myself into a bit of a funk about my foot. Thank God I got myself to my computer and did a Hurt Foot Video! There is no way not to feel better, physically and mentally. NO WAY! Thanks yet again, you really are a blessing.
Broke my ankle in 3 places and am non weight bearing for 8 weeks...these videos are saving my sanity. Goes great with a chest and triceps day!
WOW - thank you Caroline! 62 year old runner here with a ruptured plantar fascia! I'm in a cast and had fallen into a self-pity slump - this workout rescued my spirit! Thank you again!
I love you Caroline Jordan
i've struggled with my mental health for years, and i found that working out has really helped me in coping with that. tho i recently injured my foot so i've been really limited in what exercise i can do, which has been difficult. these chair workouts are life savers, letting me feel challenged while respecting what my body needs. thank you so much :)
my mom and i do this my my hurt her foot and this helps i started to do this everyday. thank you for this sweet Caroline. BA BA BAA
Eidt: 2.25.2023
I'm still doing this with my mom and I'm feeling proud of myself
I did not expect to be sweating through this! This was the perfect level of intensity for me and no pressure at al on my feet. I am recovering from plantar fasciitis. Thank you so so much!
Great job!
So happy I came across your chair cardio exercise. I was diagnosed with a vascular necrosis to my right ankle and I was so discouraged regarding getting the heart pumping. Knowing the my issue will not heal then I have to adapt a different way of living and exercising. Thank you for all you do to help others with your videos. Take care and stay safe.
Here for you Esther
Thank you again Caroline!!!
THANK YOU!!!! I fell and twisted my ankle & fractured my fibula and thought I was done for 6 weeks and sooo depressed. Then I found your workout! Your coaching is funny, insightful, I love the options you give when you cannot move your foot and overall it's just pure fun! I would normally hit the pool with a buoy between my legs and drag and I did not ever think I would ever do a chair workout but with COVID and everything closed, I am so grateful for your workout. My heart rate went up and I feel great, cannot wait to do it again tomorrow!
I do not comment on UA-cam vids but honestly...this is awesome! I love it because there's no slacking. This is not easy at all.
Hi Caroline! I am recovering from a 5th metatarsal fracture and seriously believe I have kept my sanity by doing one of your workouts every day.
Thank you so much! 😀
At 48, I had to have a partial knee replacement -- it did not go well, so I had to have another to repair. I have been feeling so horrible as I can't move well at all. I found these videos a few weeks ago and have been doing one every day or so. Oh my goodness, I feel so much better just for doing something physical! Thank you!!! I hope it helps me get in better shape for when I can finally walk without pain again...Thank you!!!
Your workouts are great...I have an ankle broken in 3 places that I had surgery on and I'm 7 months pregnant...I watch your videos with Beyonce in the background and feel sooo much better...and you have the kindest heart! thanks for your spirit!
Bless you...I'm a runner, but have had repeated issues with feet/hamstrings over the past two years. I've been searching for ways to stay in shape without making things worse. This was a great workout, and it didn't aggravate my injuries at all. One day I will be able to run again, but for now I'm very grateful to have these workouts as an option.
I never comment on youtube videos but this was so amazing and helped me feel so much better physically and mentally after knee surgery. I can bend my knee now, but not put weight on it. This was wonderful! I have a foot surgery coming up in a few months and will be using this for sure! Thanks so much for helping me today!!!
I badly sprained my ankle this is the 2nd time in 5 years this time I Won't let my injury define me. Thank you very much for your help. I will be forever grateful
Thank god for Caroline! I just re-sprained my ankle after injuring it for the first time back in April. It's frustrating to be back here, but I didn't feel nearly the same amount of panic as the first time because I knew Caroline and her hurt ankle workouts were here to help me. Thank you so much for all the videos :)
Just discovered this, ruptured both Achilles’ tendons about 4 months ago, just did the chair workout, thank you SO much for this. Feeling super pumped and positive for the first time with everything that’s happened!! Deffo going to keep this chair workout up!!
Hi Caroline, I just want to thank you for ALL of your hurt foot/ankle videos. I broke my fibula and ruptured numerous ankle ligaments just over three weeks ago and am so happy to be able to stay fit and strong while I'm recovering from surgery and am still even in a cast. I am so grateful. 🤗
Caroline you are wonderful. I love doing all the exercises with you. God bless you. 🤗
Thank you Caroline. I have had surgery on my big toe joint a week ago. As a BRCA survivor I need to exercise every day, and my mental health and mood both depend on it as well! I have now done three of your chair cardio workouts and I am so glad to have found them / you. Your positive, upbeat spirit makes me feel great. I think my family probably thank you as well! I am now able to feel good and keep up my exercise regime during my recovery.
Loved it Caroline!! In a boot for 2 weeks and need my training to keep a healthy mind. So big thanks!!
My sister (11) broke her leg one week into summer vacation. She's very athletic and has been so bored and ready to run the past month and this video made her feel so much like herself today! thank you!
Thank you so much for your videos. You keep up a strong pace both physically and verbally which is great because it doesn't let the self pity tapes start playing. You are such a good teacher and have a great sense of humor. Bless you for what you are doing.. I feet motivated watching you. Thank you so much...
I fractured a sesamoid bone in my right foot on 11/3/17. I have been so discouraged and then I found you!!! I cannot thank you enough for this!! Because of your testimony of healing and fitness I feel so much more encouraged!!
good workout! I'm a 71 year old male who broke his foot 6 weeks ago. My left foot is in a boot that weights 2.5 lbs. I have an ankle weight on the right, same weight. Try doing this routine with the extra leg weights! Pretty intense!
Thank you for posting your workouts. I have meniscus tear on my left knee cap. Most exercises I see involved moving my legs which hurts my left knee cap. May the Lord bless you with more wisdom & knowledge to teach us.
I had finally gotten back into a consistent workout routine for about 1.5 months, and then decided to switch it up by running/walking. 2 days into that, I missed a step on our stairs and sprained my ankle (between a Grade 1 and 2). I was super bummed. I'm doing rehab for it now, but know I can't get back into the cardio (and some strength training that I was doing) for awhile. I was happy to find these videos! Thank you for doing them!
Kacie Miller literally the same happened to me
Thanks so much Caroline for putting together these videos! I had lapiplasty surgery on my right foot and was itching to get back into physical activities a week later. I found your videos and workout to 4 of them. They have been key to getting me through this recovery mentally and physically! You are awesome!! 👍🤩👍❤
One of the best chair cardio videos I’ve found!
Yay! Thank you!
I love your videos. I broke my ankle 5 weeks ago and I am a person who hits the gym every day, runs, walks daily so I was really worried about staying in shape. Your challenging workouts and positive and humorous outlook have helped me so much. Thank you.
I had plantar fasciitis surgery 3 weeks ago and have been sedentary and have been hating it! I wheel around on my knee scooter to get some type of workout. I’m so glad I came across your Channel! I just did this workout and I feel great! Thank you sooo much for this content. I am so grateful for you 💕
I broke my foot yesterday ( metatarsal #5.) I am an avid cyclist and trail runner and honestly am struggling a lot right now accepting this. Thank you for this inspiration. I love you energy.
Thank you for making this another great day with this workout. This is greatly helping me through my ankle injury recovery process.
Finally! I'm 72, I've been an active outdoors person (fell running, hiking, rock-climbing) all my adult life but a climbing accident ten years ago, and the ensuing COR (=Carry On Regardless) behaviour exacerbated the ankle injury until, two years ago, the pain and symptoms changed and magnified enormously. I found a medical practitioner (fell runner) who gave me remedial treatment, brought back flexibility to the damaged ankle but the years of COR have caused nerve damage and I can NOT run any more. I need some extra cardio exercise and this video of yours seems to be exactly what I need. THANK YOU!
Love love love this! I am very active person. I had foot surgery about a month ago and have to be non weight bearing for 6 weeks!! Your UA-cam videos saved my sanity!!!!
Great workout! Harder than you would think. I'm in a boot from a foot fracture and feel so sluggish from lack of cardio. She's very positive and encouraging. I think I'll be sore tomorrow in a GOOD way! Thank you, Caroline!
Thanks Caroline. I sprained my ankle yesterday and needed some cardio today. Your video made me sweat with these exercises and got my heart pumping. This exercise is so helpful. I’m gonna do this everyday until my ankles are healed. Thank you.
I injured my knee in the spring and after months of more or less sedentary living I came across your video a few weeks ago. Physio is good but cardio is the missing piece of the puzzle. Have so much more energy now physically and mentally. Bless you!
Caroline, you are a life saver! I have a knee injury and I was very bummed out. My friend recommended your workouts and I am now doing the workouts every day and I feel so much better!!!! THANK YOU! From Ontario, Canada

And yes, it beats all the other chair videos I've seen!
This was the best. I'm a runner with a broken foot. I'm only 1 week into my injury and was able to do this. I'll be back for more later. Thanks!
Been struggling with a foot injury for weeks that's kept me from jogging. Nothing was working for me until this video. Thank you!!
I would have loved this when I broke my ankle 3.5 years ago. However, it still acts up on me so I did this today to give it a rest. Fantastic workout and you are so high energy and positive! That is a bonus because us hurt people can use all the positive we can get :) Thank you!
His was great, and I agree other chair workouts were very sleepy compared to this. Your enthusiasm is outstanding!
Thank you so much for putting this video together. I am recovering from an injury to my right leg caused by a relapse from multiple sclerosis. The first time I did the video I was only able to do only 16 min but as I continue I am able build up the strength and flexion I need through my leg.
Thank you so much for these videos o went from 2hrs of workouts and 20k steps a day to barely 3k and no workouts ... Was getting depressed until I found your videos 🙂I can express enough gratitude.
Yes you can say I'm glistening that's what I call it. I enjoyed the workout. Thank you for doing workouts in the chair. I think these are easier for me to remember, so if I don't have access to your video I can still do the routine
OMG!! I LOVE your advanced workouts!! I would LOVE to get more of them!! I didn't think I could get a descent workout without jumping/running. I broke my foot just over 7 weeks ago and I just found out I have at least another 3 weeks. Your positive, upbeat attitude is just what I need to help me stay the same way while getting through this injury. PLEASE MORE ADVANCED WORKOUTS - they are AMAZING!!! :)
So happy to discover these vids/routines. I’m a late comer to working out as I dealt with chronic health issues for years., which included several leg injuries. Finally got them addresses a few years ago and have been going strong for awhile. Even picked up running about 2 years ago and, to my shock, love it. As if shelter in place wasn’t bad enough, I broke my foot in a freak fall last week and am looking at surgery in a few days. Found your YT channel and this and some other vids have kicked my butt in the best way. Will be working these into my recovery plan to maintain the fitness I’ve found. Thanks!
This is awesome! I’ve been dealing with plantar fasciitis for years and now I can get my cardio in without foot pain! You can’t imagine how grateful I am to you for this! Thank you!!
Thank You Caroline. You’ve helped to keep me positive on my foot journey from May 2019 to now following a plantar fascia tear that finally needed surgery in May 2021. I’ve lost count of the weeks/months in a boot followed by a regime of rehab exercises to plasma and cortisone injections.
I’m still on the journey and see a little bit of light with your non weight bearing exercises ☀️ I’m still in rehab but hope I’m able to go for a walk by the end of 2021. Thank you for keeping me sane 😀
Thanks for this sweat-worthy workout Caroline! I'm a runner and had some reconstructive foot surgery at the end of June. Since then I've been improvising bed or recliner workouts, but wasn't creative enough to pull together anything close to this. You've given me the best options, and the best sweat in six weeks! I needed both badly. Thanks again, and keep up the super work.
I found this video after searching for a cardio workout that won't aggravate an ankle sprain and I really enjoyed it. I had to modify some of the exercises to fit my fitness level but my heart rate was up and I LOVED your positive attitude and energy! I'll be doing this video again and checking out your other videos in the future. Thank you so much for sharing your talents!
This was a great workout, especially considering I was sitting the whole time! I fractured my ankle a week ago today, so I put a pillow under my foot to ease the tension of my injured foot hitting the floor.
Ryann- you and I are in the same boat! I just fractured my ankle too. I hope you feel better. I'm definitely going to take your suggestion about the pillow.
Lisa, I hope you feel better soon as well and have a speedy and successful healing process.
I’m so glad I found this! I have been resting my ankle per doctors orders and I haven’t been able to work out as I normally would. This was a very challenging cardio workout for me and I feel like I actually did an effective workout!
I found your workout on a search, because I recently had surgery for a broken and dislocated ankle with 2 torn ligaments. I injured it sliding into 3rd base in my baseball league, and it was painful. But I've been upbeat and doing everything I can to heal and I hope this helps me in my fitness goals as well too! Thanks for making these videos for people in situations like myself. What a great mission.
Thanks!
You are inspirational, these workouts keep my heart rate up and they are not boring.
Thank you! I am recovering from a knee surgery and this video and your great attitude is helping me on my journey back into fitness. Just what I needed to lift my spirits!
You are amazing! I know what you mean about usual chair workouts. They are boring. I have ankle pain from nerve and bone issues and it is painful to do standing exercises. While waiting for surgery til coronavirus danger has passed, I am doing your seated exercises. Your workouts make me sweat and smile!
I'm a really active person, my brain can't function properly without physical movement. I tore all the tendons in my knee and I'm waiting for surgery. This cardio was so great, I got to move, raise my heart rate and best of all your positive attitude and energy made me laugh! Thank you! I look forward to using this video on a daily basis!
Hoping you a speedy recovery!!!!!!!
My doctor is healing me but you have healed me mentally that I could not express to anyone... Thank you is a very small sentence for you..
You are saving my mental health ! with my ankle ligament tear. Thanks a ton! So Grateful for this.
Thankyou for all your good work Caroline .This has raised my heart rate every day . I do my own weight and yoga afterward.
Six weeks out from a foot fracture. So happy I found you. Your bright optimistic spirit is contageous.
Xray tomorrow holding fingers !
This is one I started with when I had a broken ankle and loved it. A year later this is the one I come back to when I've been out of my exercise routine for whatever reason. It's a great way to start back as it's just the right length and intensity when you've been out of the groove.
More, more, more like this one please! 30 minutes? I'm waiting for a total hip replacement so I modify a lot. This video is the closest to being challenging for someone who uses a wheelchair (I work out in a workout bench) yet needs an intensive workout (weightloss goals to qualify for said surgery). Thank you. (I had to write now because I may not be thinking kind thoughts tomorrow 🙃.
