Exercise comes in many forms and varieties, including chair exercises. Chair exercises are excellent for seniors who are frail, at risk of falling, or are wheelchair-bound.
Here are a few simple exercises you can do using a sturdy, straight-back chair. The chair shouldn’t have arms, fold, roll, slide or be unsteady.
Seated March: Lift alternate legs about 2 inches from the floor at a speed that is comfortable for you. This exercise helps improve walking.
Remember before embarking on an exercise regimen to consult with your doctor. You don’t need fancy equipment to exercise. Just pull up a chair!
