The routines and printable guides were written for lifeZoi. Outside videos and pages stay on their own sites. lifeZoi does not sell them and does not add a download fee.
Videos and official pages

Printable guides
Free lifeZoi PDFs with a cover, large type, a safety note, and a link back.
Free and low-cost exercise apps
An optional directory. lifeZoi does not depend on an outside app.
Original routines

Six seated movements you can do at home in a stable chair. The words were written for lifeZoi.

A seated start to the day for the neck, shoulders, arms, back, and ankles.
Beginner Balance
Supported balance practice. Every standing part uses a stable chair. A seated version is included.

Categories
Chair Exercises for Seniors
A stable chair is enough for a short bout of movement. These steps were written for lifeZoi. They are not a copied class.
Chair Yoga
This is a simple seated movement idea, not a yoga class and not a copied pose sequence. An outside app is optional.
Gentle Stretching
Move only until you feel a mild pull. Do not bounce, and do not try to copy a video stretch you have not checked for yourself.
Balance and Stability
Practice balance beside a stable chair. lifeZoi's beginner routine keeps a hand on that chair and includes a seated version.
Strength for Beginners
Start with seated arm and leg movements. Add a wall or a chair only when standing already feels steady.
Walking and Daily Movement
A short walk on a route you already know can be the day's movement. The walking sheet in the guides is a blank note, not a step target.
Hand and Finger Exercises
Hands can move while you sit. Keep the range easy and skip any finger that objects.
Feet and Ankle Mobility
Most of this practice stays in the chair. Standing is optional and uses a chair for support.
Neck and Shoulder Mobility
Small neck and shoulder movements can be done in a chair. Keep the head upright.
Breathing and Relaxation
An ordinary breath, taken while you are supported, is enough. This is not a breathing treatment.
Tai Chi and Gentle Movement
lifeZoi does not teach a tai chi form. The movement below is a slow weight shift with support. Public information about tai chi is on the NCCIH page.
Morning Movement
A short seated stretch can be the first movement of the day. You can do it in a chair. Skip any part.
