10-Day No Impact Fitness Series
Welcome to a new way to keep yourself fit, strong and moving - even when injured! This is our No Impact Chair Workout series! In these workouts you'll find some cardio, strength and core work all done while seated in a chair, or lying on the mat. Whether you are limited in your mobility, experiencing balance challenges, dealing with a lower body injury - or you are just looking for a different way to exercise.
Heck, maybe you're super fit, but an injury has put you in a boot and you're not sure what to do. This chair series will be perfect for you. Whatever the reason, grab a sturdy chair, and a mat and move with us. You’ll be given plenty of options during these workouts to make them easier or more challenging. You'll also see that some moves can be done standing up once you are ready. But, mostly you'll be encouraged to move because we are going to focus on what you CAN do - not what you can't!
