i literally have no legs so thanks for this
Hi Otis, thanks for positive feedback - really great to hear the video is helping you with your fitness training 👍
Good for you keeping at it. Hugs to a stranger keeping fit no matter what! Have a good day, dude. Pretty inspiring.
Hopefully you're keeping at it. Good stuff
Beginning of the video: "no way I'm gonna burn any significant amount of calories with this"
Half in the video: *panting* *sweating*
Great to hear hear the workout hit the spot Valter! 👍
Try holding even 1 pound weights and damn!
Just sustained a groin injury. This was exactly what I needed
Sorry to hear about your injury, hope you recover quickly and the video helps in the meantime 👍
At last a REAL legless workout, thank you so much 😊
You're welcome, hope it helps 👍
@Sam Omg same😂😂except due to jump rope my left toe got swelled so I have to resort to this
@Peyton Knott Bro and I have also a broken spine cant even lay down or sit forget working out for more than few mins at max 😂 Hope we both get well soon : ))
@Peyton Knott We both :)
This is really helpful and has given me some hope of being able to maintain some aerobic fitness. After nearly 42 years of daily running, I fell awkwardly and completely ruptured my quadriceps tendon, so I'm out of action for a long time. Getting back at 71 isn't going to be easy. So many thanks!
good luck!!
This is the BEST Cardio on YT! Easy to do but tough on the calories! EVERY SINGLE cardio has legs because its easy to increase those cals with legs but THIS is Gold! This is proven by the number of views of this video vs the Subs. Speaking of which @Triathlon Matt why did you stop, please continue growing this channel~
I am a senior citizen waiting for a hip replacement. Thank you for these exercises which allow me to stay in aerobic shape until my surgery. Thanks again!
Broke my knee 2 weeks ago I am managing to still do weights but no cardio is killing me . Thanks for this video !
Thank you so much for doing this. I suffer from depression and anxiety so I view my workouts like taking a pill. I have been furloughed since march and turned my garage into a gym as I couldn't access my local gym. Last week I injured my knee and my mood had gone right down so I've been worried I won't be able to keep the black dog at bay. Having Found your video it has proven to be a life saver!! Thank you so very much!! 😊xx
Hi Kirsty, that's great to hear the video is helping you through the injury and the lockdown period. All the best for keeping strong both physically and mentally 👍
hey bro how u doing now
I suffer as well, and it's amazing how these simple workouts lift you spirit! Hope all is well!
Same here thanks matt
I use this when I'm on the stationary bike. It really helps to step up my cardio!
*Never underestimate the power of small things,this is wat i again learnt*
Thanks for the workout. A knee injury kept me away from running for a couple of months last year and it took me ages to get over it and get back into running. I have begun to feel similar pain in that knee over the last day or so. I am determined this time to me more intelligent about healing and this workout will help.
Thanks for the feedback Adam, hope the workout helps keep your fitness up while you concentrate on your knee injury 👍
Matt - thank you so much. You are helping me through a torn proximal hamstring ligament. I’m doing the video 3 times in a session and getting my heart up to 140! Just what I need.
I LITERALLY have a broken femur right now! This is PERFECT!!!! Thank you so much!!!!
Recovering from foot surgery with no weight on my foot for 12 weeks. This is perfect for me, I will have to sit on a bench, but this gives me options! Thank you
I realize that this video is a couple years old at this point but THANK YOU for this video! I just sustained a tibial plateau fracture on my left leg ... three weeks after completing my official PT course for a dislocated knee + various tissue damages in my right leg. I’ve been searching for chair/sitting workouts that truly do not use your legs at all and this is one of the few I’ve been able to find. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Man thank you for this, I have been seriously overexerting my legs because I use exercise to release stress, but this workout enabled me to give my legs a break every once in a while and still be able to work through the stress!
Great to hear it's of use keeping your fitness balanced 👍
At the beginning: Not sure if this is going to help.
By the end: This is a game changer!!
Really helpful routine, thanks.
Thanks for the kind feedback - great to hear it's of use 👍 stay strong any way it takes mate 👍
Thanks very much Matt. I got bone fracture on the neck of Femur while I slipped down during running. Conducted a surgery with screw in. Stayed in hospital for two weeks and now rehab at home. I am frustrated and down until I do this exercise of yours three times a day. It keeps my spirit up. Thanks very much. Your fan far away in Hong Kong!
Thanks for the kind comments and hope your recovery has gone well. Stay strong in Hong Kong, wishing you all the best back from the UK!
Thanks so much! I run to cope with stress and I'm off due to a minor injury for a couple weeks. This really helped.
Thanks Kelly, great to hear the video is helping manage your injury time positively, best wishes for a quick return to the running 👍
Thanks so much! I have a knee injury, and I really didn't know if I could get a real cardio workout with just my arms. I just tried this sitting in a chair, and it definitely got my heart pumping!
Dude you're awesome. I have adductor strain and this is just what I was looking for. Thank you so much!
Thanks Vasiliki, best of luck with recovering from the adductor strain 👍
Thank you so much Matt. I'm a 14 year old regional swimmer and i recently pulled a muscle in my quad. I am used to doing a half an hour run plus a big workout each day. Doing your workout has helped me keep fit and now I'm on the road to recovery! Thank you so much!!!!
Hi Lenny, thanks for the feedback and sorry to hear about the injury. Here's wishing you a strong comeback 👍
Thanks Matt! I was not able to do my proper exercises after the knee injury. Now, I can join you for the warmup. I hope that you recovered well already.
Some of the best warm ups I've ever seen. Amazing, really. And thank you for the enjoyable sensible music
Hi, Matt! This was a lot of fun and felt great! I haven't been able to do Taekwondo for a few years now since injuring my knee, so finding alternate cardio is always fantastic! Planning to incorporate this into my semi-daily routine!
Amazing! Thanks :) Very frustrated with my posterior tibial tendonitis, which has had me off running for a year and has now flared up again also keeping me from walking and cycling. I love the boxing moves at the end- the whole workup got my heartrate up and also great to let go of some of that frustration.
Thank you so much! Messed my knees up and have to take a break. This was fun!
Thank you so very much for this. I'm battling gout right now and as I am a heart patient, I really can't afford to miss my cardio!
After losing quite a good bit of weight via my home elliptical, i twisted my knee after stepping off of the curb wrong. I was determined to continue to do SOMETHING to keep my body/heart pumping. You just saved my life. Im doing this every day (looping it 3 times for a 30 minute workout). Going to up it to twice a day.
Please don't take this down from you tube. Thanks so much for posting it.
Thanks Matt, I really enjoy these exercises and they are helping me a lot while my knees are recovering. Have an upvote and a comment to feed the algorithm. Cheers mate!
thank you for showing us it's possible to get a great workout even if you're compromised
Sooo happy I found this video. My exercises is my everything. Helps so much with my anxiety. I'm a huge walker and jogger. I hurt my knee a couple of weeks ago and I've been in such a funk. Your video is helping big time. Now I can seriously try to let my knee heal, and get cardio in...TY!!
As someone who is used to working with resistance, this is a new expirience for me.
Thank you for this! Gives me hope, have had hip leg pain for years. Its nice to start somewhere with help.
Thanks so much i usually run a mile or two a day but I hurt my knee playing basketball so it was impossible to do, I really appreciate keep making great content
Thank you so much for this video. I also have leg injury so it’s nice to be able to still have a good sweat!
This is so amazing dude. Thank you so much. I had a stress fracture in foot and was looking for something like this. Thank you once again.
Hi Buddharatn, thanks for the kind feedback - great to hear the video is of help. Best wishes for a quick recovery for you 👍
THANK YOU MATT!!! I have some kind of Psoas and IT injury, anything with hip hinge or folding forward KILLS me next day, back and hips screaming, this was literally upper body only, I love that I can adjust speed if I want, or hold really tiny weights. Finally I found this, all 'upper body only' videos have leg lifting/ movement too. Thank you
Edit: I'm doing the twice a day, it's perfect for escaping to the bathroom or a hidden corner at the office for a quick wakeup or stress relief without having to break out a yoga mat (which is gross and impractical in the medical field), and only takes 10 min. Thanks again
I added one pound baby weights and WOW it makes a difference!!!
Thank you exactly what I needed as both of my knees are in need of seeing to.
Perfect
Thank you for this Matt! Great way to start the day
Thanks Tia, great to hear it helped 👍
Awesome! Cardio is so important. I have a bad sprain (painful as all get out) and need to stay off it.
Thank you so much loving this, I’ve had a knee joint replacement a week ago so feeling I’m back in the game.😊🎉
Ty this is great for my leg injury, can do warm up properly next week.
Dude... Yeah I can do that. I have perthe's disease which causes a lot of pain in my legs if I use them a lot. I'm lucky that I otherwise have full mobility, but makes exercise super challenging. This is definitely something I can do, and kinda have done a little bit on my own. You developed it into a full blown workout though which is awesome. I'm trying this tomorrow!
Just found this video today. I had both my legs smashed to pieces a long, long time ago. Got pretty sedintary for awhile, but once I finally got the ability to stand up and walk back, I've been trying to take better care of myself. Still don't have a full range of motion, never will, but stumbling onto this video, even though it's five years old, it's a big help. Hope your Triathlons are still going well 👍
Thanks for the feedback and kind comments.
Really hope the video is of use for fitting your requirements.
The triathlons are going OK thanks as I thankfully got back to running fine as well.
Thanks so much. Have a knee injury and really struggled to do cardio.
Matt you should make more of these, they are a good cardio work out.
Great help! Thank you!
Thank you for this workout! I hurt my leg running recently and i can't see my team due to covid, but this workout made me feel more satisfied and capable than i knew i was. thanks!
I just had meniscus repair surgery. Last few months i procrastinated a lot, due to injury, i gained nearly 10 kgs of weight. I aim to lose 10 now. As i can't do any cardio where my knee is to be moved, i found this video amazingly helpful. I hope to burn 600 calories per day by doing this exercise 10 times a day, according to my rough calculations. God bless you matt. Thanks a lot, may Jesus bless you abundantly ❤
Tore my achilles a few weeks back and needed a sitting routine without legs or machines. Great routine for me, don't want to gain any more weight than what Covid has already packed on! Thanks for the upload
I really hurt my knee a few months ago so this was really helpful, thank you💗
Thank you as I lie here with an elevated knee for weeks. Motivation!! Great to do alongside ligament rehab.
Brilliant! Swollen knee with arthritis, so I need to continue with upper body for a bit. Thanks heaps!
week 3 of my 8 weeks of aircast for broken foot...right in my half marathon training....thanks for this...my shoulders were burning haha...
Thanks! Hurt my toe a few days ago and wanted to do something while it’s healing! Heart rate got up to almost 160!
Terrific idea and program. I am waiting for my hip operation and want to help keep my blood pressure down via cardio work. Can't place any weight on my right leg, so these exercises are perfect for me. I do them in my desk chair. Thanks so much.
Thank youuuuuuu. I've a fractured femur and tibia 😢 and need this soooo much xx
Excellent exercises while I recuperate from my leg injury
1It gets better every time! Thanks Matt.
I am back and thanks again Matt.
This is GREAT!! I have arthritis in my right hip and left knee. Thanks so much !!!
This is AWESOME! Healing from a ruptured hamstring repair surgery so can't do my normal swim, bike, run. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this workout! It was really fun and I was finally able to keep my arms working throughout the entire thing 💪🏻
Great to hear it's helpful - all the best with your fitness 👍
Brilliant, thank you. I've tore my ACL, MCL and have an 8cm cyst...knee is a little poorly so this is brilliant, thank you SO much loved it and quick so can just fit in with an ab workout!
Thank you so much for this!!💕
Matt killed it!
Thank you SO much!!! I hurt my knee just when my cardio workout routine and weight loss had been blossoming for 3 months. I need to keep it moving! This videos upload is just the ticket! Thanks so much!
Thank you ! I needed this
I have double hip and knee arthritis, so walking long distance is not an option for me which can be quite depressing. I’m glad I found this video. It got my heart going which felt good! Thanks for this.
Thank you so much -really effective. I just had a total hip replacement so this is great.
Thanks Matt. Just what I was looking for.
You're welcome Mark, hope it helps 👍
This really helps me to stay a little fit. I have one leg and have difficulties with normal cardio workouts. I really like this workout. Thank u! :). Im interested in more of these workouts!
Thanks Flo, great to hear the video is helping your fitness. Tip to make some of the moves harder you can use a resistance band too 👍
Love this, thanks Matt! I just injured my ankle and was feeling gutted about losing my cardio routine: finding this video and doing the workout has been a real morale boost. Smash it, smash it, SMASH IT!
Thanks Natalie, great to hear the video is helping you with your injury. Keep on smashing it and best of luck for a quick recovery 😀👍
Thank you. I just started working out again and then had stitches on my hip, leg bend area. This worked great to give something I can do and can barely lift my arms after 😅
Thank you for sharing. Just done an ACL injury. Missing cardio at the moment.
Thank you for providing this!!
Thank you, great to hear the video is useful 👍😀
thanks a ton this was great
I just did this on a bar stool - doing this standing doesn’t make much sense as I’m not full weight bearing with my boot, but on the stool I can ‘run’ a bit with my legs & swing my arms behind my back. Thanks for this! I’ve been doing various UA-cam injured foot videos for months and this was a total change from the usual. I’m putting it into the rotation :)
Just what I need
Thank you for this, i had my leg fractured so needed this 🙏🙏🙏😊😊😊
Thank you for this
Thank for this Matt. Cam off my bike yesterday and fractured fibula so no cycling for a while. Tried out your workout and will be great whilst recuperating. Did it on a stool and wirked perfectly. Good luck with your recovery.
Thank you and great to hear the video was of help. Stay strong too and best of luck :)
I am recovering from a knee arthroscopy and have been looking for some seated cardio to keep my cardio fitness and burn calories while I am recovering from the procedure and starting rehabilitation. Thanks for putting this together.
Thank you thank you sooo soo much sir ... Today my dr told me to take 1 week rest and avoid running..this line broke me so hard that i am crying from hours and can't believe this happened to me .. But your video ha bring back the smile on my face .. Lots of love sir god bless you ❤
Hi Aastha, thank you for the very kind words. Really great to hear the video has helped you. Though make sure you listen to your doctors and completely rest up for week if you need to. If it's just for a week and you exercise lots usually then a bit of a break might be good for training recovery anyway 👍all the best
Thanks so much for this! I am a runner with an injured meniscus and this is helping me to maintain fitness during recovery. I am able to gently bounce on a rebounder as I do these exercises!
Thanks for this video 🙌
Thank you!! Really needed this with my leg being out of commission for a bit.
Sorry to hear about your injury hope you're better soon 👍
Thanks! Bad move on the gym yesterday left my hamstring unusable for a few day. Glad I can continue my daily cardio with this routine.
Sorry to hear about the hamstring injury - hope it heals quickly and the video helps in the meantime 👍
Just what I needed after spraining my ankle carrying my bike down stairs and missing a stair… most other chair workouts are not intense enough but this one was good. Doing it twice is even better!
Thank you so much for this. I found it looking for support to stay fit while I wait for a knee replacement, but I wish I could forward it to my younger self, who definitely relied too much on the lower body for fitness! Everything is sore after doing this but I intend to make it a regular part of my exercise practice. So much gratitude for you Matt!
Thanks for the kind comments, great to hear the video will help you keep fit around the knee operation 👍
Matt, thank you. I tore a thigh muscle in a motorcycle mishap a few months ago. Can't run and shouldn't use my legs too much at the moment and so many upper body workouts I found rely heavily on the legs. Glad you posted this.
Best of luck with the recovery and hope you come back stronger 💪👍
@@TriathlonMatt cheers, Matt. I'll go for a follow up MRI in July. Hopefully my leg will show significant recovery.
Very helpful thank you
Thanks for this. Got to say I was surprised at how much this got me breathing! 4 weeks into a meniscus cartilage injury and I’m going nuts not being able to run/ride, or even walk that far, particularly with the nicer weather. Think my wife will be glad I’ve found a way to use up some of my energy, and hopefully I may even sleep a little better too. Thanks again.
Lovely stuff, cheers Matt!
You're very welcome, glad to be of help 👍
Awesome absolutely love this !! Thank you!!!!!
Thanks for the feedback, great to hear the video is helping 👍
Thank you for sharing
I have a leg injury so thanks for this video ❤️
Thank for that really enjoyed it. Broken leg.thank you really helped.
