What seated exercises can I do on Fitness Plus?

I have had surgery and cannot place weight on my feet for 8 weeks.

i am reasonable fit and wish to maintain my fitness through. This period

Are there suitable exercise routines in fitness plus for my situation and if so where would I find them?

Hi andyyates,

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community!

Am no expert in this area, however Apple does provide a handy user guide for Fitness +

Eg: If you haven't already:

You may want to: See personalized recommendations in Apple Fitness+ - Apple Support

or

You might want to look through the "Table of Contents" in the Apple Fitness+ User Guide - Apple Support for any hints or tips you can use.


Looking beyond Fitness +

Others with similar experiences seem to say that he upper body exercises can be done while seated.

Third-party (non-Apple) discussion thread: Strength workouts that can be done seated


Now that your discussion is under way, perhaps others may also contribute their experience.

All the best :-)

Seems the App Store has "chair fitness" apps you can download.

(Sorry I have no idea whether or not any listed below could be recommended.)

NB: Please be aware some "free" apps may have "in-app" purchases.

(You can check the descriptions / details before downloading any app,

and check compatibility with your device.)

Examples:

‎SitFit Exercise on the App Store

There are also many YouTube videos with seated exercises online:

Hi

Thanks for your response.

I had a look through the table of contents and tried a few searches, but there seemed to very little.


I found to “core for older adults” and “strength for older adults” but this was all I could find.


I’ve had a look at the third party thread you suggest and there seemed to be a few ideas there. Thanks
