A quick 10-minute seated workout for the arms, core and mobility, with light hand weights and no standing required.
This short seated session works the upper body, core and mobility, and it was cut out of an older chair video to stand on its own. Use it to add on to another workout or as a quick break if you sit at a desk all day. The instructor uses two 3-pound hand weights as a reference. The video runs about 12 minutes.
