I've been bombarded recently with adds for the Muscle Booster app. Just a minute's research revealed that this is just a subscription renewal scam, but the app looks perfect for my needs.

I'm over 50, in pretty bad shape, and looking to make some changes, so a chair workout plan seems ideal, and the (possibly fake) app they show in the ads looks perfect.

Is there a non-scam chair workout app I can use?

The 7 minute workout is pretty good. It's scientifically been shown to work despite being short, and there's a bunch of modifications to make the exercises more accessible if you find them too hard.

There's a bunch of free apps that will talk you through the exercise if you want, or you can just find a YouTube video to copy along.

I second youtube videos. There's a ton of content available that's basically just advertising for the creator's app/book/website, but the videos themselves are often plenty to get started and figure out if you like that style of content or not.
