Chair Yoga/exercises

I'm looking for some home based fitness ideas. I can't go to the gym as no transport and have arthritis so a lot of walking is out of the question.

I've seen loads of these chair yoga and fitness things advertised for people of a certain age.
Two questions -
1 Do they work?
2 Are there any free ones around as all the ones I've seen want a payment.

I don’t have any experience but I think chair exercises or yoga are generally for people with very limited mobility. Do you think you fall into that category?

When I was injured I used Senior Shape Fitness on YouTube regularly. I still do, as she has a range of exercises on her channel from chair exercises (including yoga, cardio, other stuff) to standing/moving routines that are more challenging.

Not really apart from arthritis in my knee. If doesn't look like the people in the ads have very limited mobility.

There is loads for free on youtube. I use one called yes2next which is loads of routines. They are based on walking but her mum does them sitting down.
