9 Super Easy Exercise Videos To Try At Home
If you are ready to get started with a fitness routine, but want to get started slowly at first, this is the place! We've identified 9 videos that can help start you down the path of fitness, no matter your age or fitness level.
The videos we selected for you require a bare minimum of equipment, if any at all. The only requirement is that you have the ability to stream to screen large enough that you can see when you are performing the workout.
Keep in mind that these videos are just the ones we selected for you. You can go out to youtube or google or your favorite video streaming site or favorite search engine and dig up your own workout videos. There is an entire universe of exercise videos out there for all different fitness levels and lengths. If you outgrow these, or don't find what you are looking for here, there are plenty more to go find. And we encourage you to go find them!
We are going to start out with 10 minute exercise videos that integrate a chair. Chair exercises can help by providing back support and also greatly reduces the risk of fall damage by having the participants remain seated for the entire workout.
We'll move on to 10 minute exercises that combine chair exercises with standing exercises. Then we'll move it to longer exercises at the end.
All the exercises listed here are very low impact and meant for those who do not currently exercise. Also keep in mind these videos are provided by other parties, so please make sure to read all their warnings and liability statements before following their videos. And if necessary, talk to your doctor before trying any new exercise regiment.
