Exercising regularly can help you stay active as you age. It supports strength and flexibility and can help reduce the risk of common age-related conditions such as osteoporosis, heart disease, and deconditioning.
But how do you stay active if mobility is limited?
Two words: chair exercises.
According to physical therapist Tobi Jevnikar, PT, of Cleveland Clinic, seated or standing chair exercises offer a safe and effective way to build muscle tone, improve flexibility, and gently raise your heart rate.
“Everyone at every age and ability can benefit from exercise,” Jevnikar explains. “Chair-based exercises are simple modifications that help people move safely and confidently.”
Chair exercises are especially appealing because they require no gym membership and no special equipment—just a sturdy chair and a willingness to move. The Cleveland Clinic guide includes easy, practical examples such as seated marching, pelvic tilts, and arm exercises that can be done at home.
This resource is ideal for anyone looking to stay active, improve everyday mobility, and build confidence through gentle, accessible movement. https://health.clevelandclinic.org/chair-exercises-for-seniors?utm_source=chatgpt.com.
