The Chair Workout

By Irene Lewis-McCormick, M.S., C.S.C.S.

This quick and easy workout is a great beginner's exercise. All you need is a chair and a piece of resistance tubing with handles. Try these exercises twice a week, in addition to 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic activity, and you'll find it's easy to make exercise a habit.

These workouts are great for me since I have emphysema. I just add some free weights, some counter push ups and squats. AWESOME
