Step-by-Step Guide

Seated Arm Raises

Sit tall in your chair, raise arms overhead while inhaling, and lower while exhaling. You should feel your core engage. Ensure your back is straight and not leaning against the chair.

Heel Lifts

Lift heels off the ground while seated, squeezing calf muscles, then lower. Feel the activation in your calves and ensure your ankles do not roll in or out.

Torso Twists

With arms extended, twist your torso side to side, feeling the stretch in your obliques. Keep your core engaged and avoid rounding your back.

Knee Lifts

Lift knees alternately while keeping your core tight. This should activate your hip flexors and lower abs.

Tricep Push-Ups

Lower forearms to thighs and push back up using triceps. Focus on using the back of your arms without engaging your abs.

Safety Notes

Consult a physician before starting if you have severe mobility issues, chronic pain, or any cardiovascular conditions.
