This 5-Minute Workout Can Be Completed From Your Chair - HuffPos
You don't need a long, tough sweat session to get some strength training.
We all know regular exercise is good for our body and mind,
but feeling short of time can hold many of us back. The good
news is that a regular workout of just five minutes can make a
difference ― and once you get moving, you might even be
tempted to try a longer stint.
Seated Ab Crunch
DOM THORPE
Perch your bottom on the edge of the chair and lean back into
the chair to support your upper body.
With your hands gripped firmly on the sides of the chair, raise
both knees toward your chest and slowly return them to the
starting position.
DOM THORPE
With the hands at your temples and your elbows spread wide,
gently lower your upper body forward until you’re parallel to
the ground, before returning up to a seated position in a
controlled manner.
Try to contract your back muscles at the top and push your
ribcage forward.
Sit well back in your chair with your back fully supported. Hold
one or two weights in your hands and start with your arms
fully extended above your head.
Gently lower the weight behind your head stopping just before
you make contact with the back of your neck.
Sit with your bottom perched on the edge of the chair and
your heels directly beneath your shoulders.
