Chair Workout

This chair workout is a low impact and especially for my Silver Sneakers or any one with bad knees or just needs to workout sitting down. If you don’t have dumbbells you can use cans of beans or veggies, most cans weigh about 1 pound. What really matters is how hard you are contracting and squeezing the muscle. 

Keep your core contracted. Sitting at the edge of your chair or if your back hurts you can scoot back.
