Margaret, Yes, definitely! There are many exercises that can be done while in a chair. Use a set of dumbbells and begin by doing shoulder presses (like in the video of this post), bicep curls, and tricep extensions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vbmy1raQvYk Also, I found these pretty cool videos on youtube if you’d like to check them out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xBqTaftI1Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CdwOe-5OaA
Wow. That was intense. I am definitely a beginner! And my arthritis is bad enough that I don't want to jump and this was great – low-impact but I really felt it! I used 8-lb weights.
Thank you. Our Prayer group was talking about getting back to exercise basics. I found this today, truly a blessing to get started moving!
I’m a little confused – do I do each exercise for 1 minute? And then that circuit twice? Thanks!
Steph, I just updated the workout with the time for each exercise and number of circuits. 🙂
Where can i see this update?
I’m not sure what you are referring to?
hey is it okay if I use regular wights instead of dumbbells? i love this program by the way
Of course, that would work as well. So happy you love the program. 🙂
