Chair-based exercise is an effective form of low-impact physical activity that allows people to stay active while remaining safely supported.
By performing gentle movements while seated, individuals can improve strength, flexibility and circulation without placing strain on the joints.
This type of exercise is particularly beneficial for older adults or those with limited mobility, helping to maintain independence, boost confidence and support overall physical and mental wellbeing.
