Seated Exercise

If you struggle to exercise on your feet due to a long-term illness, for example, it's even more important to try to exercise. Exercise can improve your mood and is really beneficial for your mental health. And you can do this while you sit in a chair. Try doing a series of repetitive movements while sitting down that will improve your posture and balance.

The Active Charnwood team have devised a leaflet to help you get active at home.

In this leaflet you will find simple exercises to follow using a stress ball, the exercises will help you to help increase strength and mobility. All exercises are performed in a seated position and can be adapted to suit all abilities.

If you would like a copy of the booklet and a stress ball please email the team on; active.charnwood@charnwood.gov.uk or call 01509 634673
