Chair Aerobics
are done using a chair to do
aerobics movements. The chair must be sturdy with no arms. This will
keep you or any other person off there
feet while still doing exercise.
It is always important to not do to
many strenuous movements that may harm you. This can lead to broken
bones, strained muscles, and many other things. That is why there are
so many injuries in sports that have strenuous movements. Chair
aerobics should be a great alternative to doing any other aerobic
exercises that use strenuous movements.
With chair aerobics you'll be able to do many
exercises that are not strenuous like I said above. These exercises
will not use a lot of resistance like you would have in the gym with
weights and such. There are many exercises you can do with chair
aerobics and below I will go through and tell you how you can do foot
bounces.
Just one exercise of many you can do with chair
aerobics is foot bounces. With foot bounces, you can practice balancing
yourself and using your knees to get a nice abdominal workout. This is
just another version of leg raises you can do when doing chair
aerobics. Leg raises his pretty easy to do also. In a sitting position
you lift your foot straight out in front of you so that your knee is
not bent anymore. So using the foot bouncing aerobic exercise is just
as good. You want to keep a slow steady pace.
There are many other chair aerobics exercises.
Some such as heel-toe momentum, jumping jacks, and the jump rope. The
heel-toe momentum works your ankles and calves with consistent
movements that require back-forth stretches. If you decide to use this,
you can develop well-toned calves that you would have with regular
aerobics. Using chair aerobics exercises like the jumping jacks and
arm/heel pushes can help develop your upper body. Upper body movements
like these require more focus on the muscles being used than how fast
you move. As it is an aerobic chair exercise, adding creative angles
could give you better results.
There are a lot of things you can do with chair
aerobics. Just learning these basics can give you a pretty good aerobic
workout. Working out is important to our health so it is definitely
wise to try any sort of aerobics. Chair aerobics will just get you off
your feet and will not be a strenuous on your body.
