Seated Chair Pose
Welcome to your Workout of the Week, December 11! This month we will focus on seated core exercises to strengthen your mid-section and improve overall stability. Best of all, these exercises are all bodyweight and can be performed anywhere and anytime!
Debbie Reitter, Chief Executive Nurse, will demonstrate these exercises. Debbie is a huge advocate for mindfulness and disconnecting from work. One of her favorite things to do is to put away electronic devices so she can listen and enjoy music. She comments that music therapy helps her unwind from a long workday and her current favorite playlist is holiday music. In addition, she understands the importance of fitness, so she walks daily with her Dalmatian.
Great job, Debbie! Something simple as walking and listening to music can help reduce stress and increase physical activity.
Exercise: Seated chair pose.
How to perform: Sit up tall and place your hands on your hips while bringing you feet off the ground. Keep your knees at 90 degrees and lean back slightly. You should feel your core engaged and avoid any wobbling or shaking.
