Seated abs and mobility session for seniors and beginners: shoulders, spine and hips, no floor work and an optional single weight.

Done entirely in a chair, this session mixes mobility moves for the shoulders, spine and hips with exercises that tone the abs, so there is no need to get down on the floor. Follow along and do what you can; a few exercises offer the option of adding one weight, such as a dumbbell, water bottle or can of food. The video runs about 21 minutes.

Improves range of motion in the shoulders, spine and hips while toning the abs and building core strength.

Things to Keep in Mind
