The good news is that chair exercises can help you lose weight, especially if you are interested in staying healthy after 50. Incorporating these low-impact exercises into your daily routine can provide other benefits too, such as better balance, improved mobility, and increased strength. Exercising from the comfort of your chair can even be safer than other forms of exercise.

Seated jumping jacks are a good warmup exercise, but they burn calories for weight loss!

For best results, perform seated jumping jacks quickly and with vigour.

Seated toe stretch works your hamstrings and lower back to improve flexibility and mobility. 

To perform seated toe stretches, sit on the edge of your chair and lean forward. Carefully reach for your toes while remaining seated. Be sure to avoid leaning too far forward and maintain a seated position throughout this exercise. 

 

Chair running helps you burn calories to lose weight!

To burn more calories, pump your left and right arms back and forth in a manner that is also similar to running. 

 

This chair exercise provides a workout for your core, shoulders, biceps, triceps, and inner thigh muscles. Done with intensity, this exercise can also burn calories to optimise weight loss. Skater switch also improves joint motion, flexibility, and core strength to maximize weight loss potential.
