These gentle, seated routines can help improve strength, flexibility and circulation - all from the comfort of your chair.
You don’t need to be on your feet to stay active. These sitting exercises are designed to help improve your mobility, boost circulation, and maintain strength — especially if standing exercises feel difficult right now.
They’re ideal if you’re recovering from illness, managing a long-term condition, or just want a safe place to start.
All you need is a solid, stable chair without wheels or arms. Sit upright with your feet flat on the floor and make sure the space around you is clear.
Start slowly and aim to build up the number of repetitions over time. Doing these exercises regularly, even just a few times a week, can make everyday movements feel easier and improve your confidence.
