Have a Seat!


Staying active can be challenging if you have mobility issues or spend long periods sitting due to work or other responsibilities. Fortunately, incorporating seated exercises into your daily routine can help improve strength, flexibility, and overall health. At 46 64 Fitness, we understand the need for fitness solutions that are convenient, affordable, and accessible to everyone, regardless of mobility. Our online training programs provide personalized guidance, making it easier to stay fit even from your chair.

 

Here are four effective seated exercises you can try. Always get permission from your doctor. Before starting any exercise program.

 

1. Bicep Curls

Target Area: Biceps

How to Perform:

·       Sit up straight with your back supported by the chair and your feet flat on the ground.

·       Hold a light dumbbell or any weight (like a water bottle) in each hand with your arms extended at your sides.

·       Slowly curl the weights up towards your shoulders while keeping your elbows close to your body.

·       Lower the weights back to the starting position and repeat for 10–15 repetitions.

Tips: Keep your movements controlled and engage your core for added stability.

 

2. Seated Crunches

Target Area: Core

How to Perform:

·       Sit with your back slightly away from the chair's backrest, maintaining a straight posture.

·       Place your hands behind your head and lift one knee towards your chest while simultaneously bringing your chest towards the knee.

Tips: Focus on squeezing your core as you lift to maximize muscle engagement.

 

3. Seated Triceps Extensions
