WELCOME TO JIM’S GYM
Looking for an easy yet effective workout you can do while seated? This 7-exercise seated workout combines cardio and strength moves, perfect for those who want to stay active without standing up. Designed for over-55s, it’s a great way to get your heart pumping and muscles working—all from the comfort of your chair!
Welcome to the five-day starter programme! This is your entry point to seeing how easy and accessible exercise can be. Over the next five days, you'll do five different workouts, all under 10 minutes long and covering mobility, balance, cardio, strength and core!
It's day 3, and we're getting the heart and lungs pumping! It's cardio day (my favourite!). Three exercises, three rounds! As always, do what you can and adjust if you need to. These types of workouts are a great way to measure progress. Take note of how you feel during and after, and compare when you do it again!
You can do this workout seated (swap the shuffles for some seated, non-jumping jacks)...

Day 1 is 10 minutes of gentle full-body mobility (top-to-toe stuff!). You can do this session standing or seated! It's a great one to start the day or squeeze in even if you don't feel like a more challenging session but would still like to move a little.
I am so excited to announce that Miranda, a specialist yoga instructor with a focus on accessible yoga has joined the Jims Gym team. Here is a brief introduction to Miranda:
I have practiced yoga for over twenty years. With a background in special education, I was a teacher in London for many years before moving to Stroud. I retrained as a yoga teacher with the East London studio, Yoga on the Lane.
I'm thrilled to see you here, ready to embark on this fitness journey with me. As I've been populating the site with videos, I thought clarifying the equipment you might need to participate fully would be helpful.
