Entering Sparkpeople Seated videos in Fitness tracker

I was asked an interesting question this morning – and one I think many of you might be interested in – so I have repeated my answer here!!
To enter the Sparkpeople Seated Videos in your Fitness Tracker:
Sparkpeople videos - seated!!
go to
www.sparkpeople.com/resource/fitness_artic
les.asp?id=1713
That is an article on the seated Sparkpeple exercise videos - on the left the individual videos are listed- click on each one - when the video opens - scroll to the bottom of the write up - and there is a button -add this exercise to tour fitness tracker!!
That applies to the Strength videos

A simpler way to enter it is to use - low impact aerobics -from cardio - search - Low impact aerobics then highlight it and enter time of your exercise - its the top one to come up - Low impact aerobics including walk away the pounds)

For the cardio seated video -
go to your fitness tracker - open the "add cardio " in the search box write
Sparkpeople 11-Minute Seated Cardio Workout
Then from the choice that opens - check down - the seated cardio is towards thebottom of thelist
Highlight it and fill in the box - on how long you exercised for
DO NOT FORGET TO TICK THE "SAVE THIS TO MY FAVORITES" box!!!

it will add the calories to your fitness tracker.
In future - click on "add cadio" then "Favorites" and and the cardio will be there!!

SPARKPEOPLE SEATED WORKOUTS!

I have just been told about a new seated workout on video from Coach Nichole -
You can find it at
VIDEO: 12-Minute Seated Core Workout

www.sparkpeople.com/resource/fitness_artic
les.asp?id=1697

And Joan_of_Spark tells us there are these too by Sparkpeople

Coach Nicole also has a new seated cardio video workout

************SPECIAL EXERCISE IDEA ***************
I found this program as I was travelling the Sparkpeople site -

Beginner Walking Workouts
A 12-Week Program that Builds Endurance
www.sparkpeople.com/resource/fitness_artic
les.asp?id=1204

It is meant for walking, however it would work very successfully with Chair Marching too!! If you are having trouble getting a routine started, or continuing with it, you might like to try this!!

CHAIR MARCHING

A description by DAWNWATERWOMAN
When I first started working my "weigh down" the scale I was unable to stand for more than a minute or two. I was using either a walker or a wheel chair. I worked 8+ hours a day sitting in a chair in front of a computer, watching TV & on the phone. I was unable to get up to exercise so I decided to try marching in place while sitting in my chair. Chair Marching is free, easy, and fits into any busy schedule. There is no excuse not to exercise because you're "too busy". Get BUSY getting fit!

Chair marching really is just marching on the spot, but from a seated rather than standing position. You move rhythmically, lifting one leg, then the other, as high as you are comfortable with. You can advance on this by swinging your arms, to give an added cardio effect to your workout. Further variations can involve adding in small kicks or leg lifts, where you lift one leg out straight and hold it there before lowering it again. You would then repeat this on the other side. It can be even more fun by “marching” to the beat of a great piece of music, and then you can arm and body movements to the beat too. As always, you do only what you are comfortable with.

There are many examples of chair marching and how it can be adapted to create a full workout in the numerous commercially available chair exercise DVDs. One such DVD, is the Stronger Seniors Strength DVD, available as a double pack called Stretch & Strength. Previews can be found on our YouTube channel that you can find by clicking on the Team picture on the main Team page, but Anne Burnell of Stronger Seniors has also provided a longer clip as part of her blog on SparkPeople.com:

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
=================

Note: Those with MS often suffer from weakness and fatigue, encouraging them to lead sedentary lifestyles. Initially, it was thought that those with MS should avoid exercise altogether, however it is now known that a lack of exercise can lead to increased fatigue and a cycle of decline and can eventually lead to muscle atrophy.

It is important that those with MS work at building up endurance and strength in muscles WITHOUT increasing fatigue. You would therefore avoid overdoing any exercise, building up slowly and taking many rests.

Please see our YouTube channel (linked below and also from the team image on the main page) for the Move it with MS video in it's entirety.

This would also be suitable for those who have not exercised in sometime, tire easily or sufferers of ME or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

STATIC STRETCHING EXERCISES AVAILABLE ON SPARKPEOPLE
======================================================

**Note - the following stretching routines are not specific to chair exercisers, but can be easily adapted. These streatches should be done at the END of your workout so that your muscles have warmed up first. Do NOT lock your joints when stretching and NEVER bounce as you have less control and therefore increase the risk of injury. Stretch only within your own comfort level. You should feel the pull of the stretch, but should not feel pain. Stop immediately if you do.

SPECIAL NOTE - for those who've had hip replacements, do not cross your legs or bend your hips past a 90 degree angle during stretches or exercises.

Breathe normally, take your time and relax....


Static stretching routine for the upper body and arms:
www.sparkpeople.com/resource/fitness_artic
les.asp?id=1263
* For the chest and biceps stretch, you may wish to turn your chair to the side so that the back doesn't get in the way.

Static stretching routine for the lower body:
www.sparkpeople.com/resource/fitness_artic
les.asp?id=1027
* Note for the quad stretch, which is the first stretch shown. This can be done using the opposite arm to grasp the ankle i.e. hold onto a chair with your right arm, raise the right leg behind you and grasp the ankle with your LEFT hand. This should be easier to manage.

Static stretching routine for the calves and ankles:
www.sparkpeople.com/resource/fitness_artic
les.asp?id=1170

Other static stretching exercises:
Cat stretch (from a kneeling position, stretches out the back) - www.sparkpeople.com/resource/exercises.asp
?exercise=305

Lying abs stretch (laying on your back, abdominal muscles and shoulders) - www.sparkpeople.com/resource/exercises.asp
?exercise=302

Forward bend (stretches hips, hamstrings and back) - www.sparkpeople.com/resource/exercises.asp
?exercise=295
ADAPTION: do this with legs in front of you, but slightly spread to where you feel comfortable. Can also be done whilst sitting in a chair.

Upward dog (from laying down, stretches abdominals, back and neck) - www.sparkpeople.com/resource/exercises.asp
?exercise=304
ADAPTION: you can do this stretch by only lifting your head, neck and upper chest from the ground. Keep facing downwards to reduce strain on your neck.

Lying double knee hug (stretches lower back and hips) - www.sparkpeople.com/resource/exercises.asp
?exercise=300
ADAPTION: you can adapt it by only doing one leg at a time, and by not pulling the legs all the way to the chest. This may not be suitable for those with back injuries, especially to the lower back.

Lying hamstring stetch (hamstrings) - www.sparkpeople.com/resource/exercises.asp
?exercise=294 ADAPTION: note that this can be quite tough, but can be made easier by raising the leg being stretched off the ground only as far as you are comfortable.

Lying hip & glute stretch (stretches hips, glutes and lower back) - www.sparkpeople.com/resource/exercises.asp
?exercise=293
ADAPTION: note can be difficult for those with lower back and hip issues, however simply adapt by only taking the leg as far across your body as you feel comfortable and not forcing it

Side Bend with Towel - www.sparkpeople.com/myspark/ex/exercises.a

Dumbell Lateral Raises www.sparkpeople.com/myspark/ex/exercises.a
sp?ID=74
Isometric Shoulder Hold with Towel - www.sparkpeople.com/myspark/ex/exercises.a
sp?ID=130
Note that these are a good exercise to use with resistance bands rather than a towel. These can also be done with arms at the side, palms up, lifting the working arm at a ninety degree angle to the thigh. This is called an Isometric Biceps Hold and of course works the biceps rather than the shoulders.

Dumbell Shrugs - www.sparkpeople.com/myspark/ex/exercises.a
sp?ID=43

Reverse Flys - www.sparkpeople.com/myspark/ex/exercises.a
sp?ID=41 These are seated on a stability ball, but can be done on your chair

Low Mounted Seated Rows using a Resistance Band - www.sparkpeople.com/myspark/ex/exercises.a
sp?ID=174
These can be done sitting directly on the floor, or on your chair. If you find that the angle of movement isn't right when sitting in a chair, you can use the leg of a sofa or another piece of heavy furniture that won't move, rather than your feet, to tether the strap.

Lying Tricep Lifts - www.sparkpeople.com/myspark/ex/exercises.a
sp?ID=190 These can even be done in bed!

Low Mount Abduction with Resistance Band - www.sparkpeople.com/myspark/ex/exercises.a
sp?ID=11
This works very well when seated
