3 seated healthy heart exercises for you to try at home. Great to whilst your watching tv, or chatting on the phone.
1️⃣ Seated marching
Sit upright in a sturdy chair and slowly lift one knee at a time, as if marching. Keep the movement controlled and breathe steadily. This raises the heart rate gently while strengthening the hips and improving circulation.
2️⃣ Seated arm swings or punches
With feet flat on the floor, swing your arms forward and back or gently punch forward at chest height. This helps increase heart rate, improves upper-body strength, and encourage good posture.
3️⃣ Seated heel & toe taps
Alternate lifting your heels and toes, or gently tap your feet on the floor at a steady pace. This promotes blood flow, supports ankle mobility, and gives the heart a mild workout.
