Stand up straight in front of a bench or table. Bend one knee, bringing your foot slowly towards your bottom and hold for a slow count of three. Keep the knee of your bent leg slightly behind the knee of the straight leg. Slowly return to starting position. Keep the breath flowing – breathe in and out at a count that is comfortable to you. Avoid holding your breath as this can increase blood pressure. 1) Brief relaxation – in a chair

This yoga sequence has been modified to make it chair-based, meaning that it may be suitable for people with limited mobility as well as the general population. It is part of the Cardiac Yoga ® programme devised by Dr M Mala Cunningham, founder and director of Cardiac Medical Yoga and Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Virginia School of Nursing. Before you start Muscle-strengthening activities usually make muscles feel warmer and you may get a ‘shake’ or ‘wobble’ during the activity. The next day, you will feel as if the muscles have been used. Strength activities include climbing stairs, tai chi, heavy housework or gardening.There are simple steps we can all take to gain these benefits. The first is to move more every day; any amount of activity is better than none. Start by being active for at least 10 minutes per day at a moderate intensity. Try walking, dancing, swimming or gardening. If you are progressing well, build up to 150 active minutes a week. It is recommended to always finish on a positive note. This could be through a gratitude moment paying thanks to something positive going on in your life or something you are grateful for.

With respect to the latest obsessions in design, cane seating has been cropping up everywhere, from sleek armchairs to lounge chairs, while bouclé fabric, a staple of modern furniture design, can be seen in mid-century modern, Scandinavian modern and Hollywood Regency furniture styles. Repeat five times with each leg. Build up to 10 times per leg. Both of these knee exercises strengthen the large muscles in your thigh that help you stand up and sit down. Developing these muscles will help with walking and climbing stairs. You can use a wall or railing to support yourself, if necessary. This activity can improve balance, making tasks such as reaching high shelves easier. 10. Heel walking with no supportStand up tall with your hands on your hips. Take 10 steps to the right, pause, then take 10 steps to the left. Sitting on front third of the chair, spine erect, bring the right arm to your side and stretch the arm overhead.

Take a deep breath and as you breathe out, bend forward at the hips with the arm stretched in front of the body. Fully stretch the arm, all the way to the fingertips.

Fortunately, the design of side chairs, armchairs and other lounge furniture — since what were, quite literally, the early perches of our ancestors — has evolved considerably. Activities involving strength and balance will help improve mobility. Doing simple activities, like the ones in this article, at least twice a week in addition to your daily physical activity, can help you stay strong and balanced. They can be incorporated into your daily routine. For example, try some knee bends while waiting for the kettle to boil.Repeat five times for each leg, eventually building to 10. This strengthens hip muscles, helping with stepping up onto kerbs and steps. 8. Sideways walking With entire areas of our homes reserved for “sitting rooms,” the value of quality antique and vintage seating cannot be overstated. You can do this activity while sitting watching TV or listening to the radio. Raise your leg straight out in front of you, then lift it another inch, hold for a slow count of three, and then slowly lower it. Variation 1: Sit on the front third of the chair, facing forwards. Gently stretch the right arm up towards the ceiling, keeping the left hand on the left thigh, fingers facing inwards. First lean the torso forwards before twisting to the right shoulder, right arm and head towards the wall on the right. Hold for 3-5 seconds. Moving more often can help you avoid a range of health conditions, including coronary heart disease (CHD). Regular movement helps control weight and reduce your blood pressure and cholesterol. If you have a condition already, it can help you manage it. As you age, being active helps maintain independence, prevent falls and delay onset of conditions such as osteoporosis.

You can use a wall or railing to support yourself, if necessary. This activity will improve your sideways movements. 9.

The more active you are, the bigger the benefits. Stand tall and look ahead. Slowly come up onto your toes. Walk 10 steps forward while up on your toes. Lower your heels and turn around. Stand up on your toes again and walk 10 more steps. If keeping the right arm stretched overhead is a strain, place the right hand to the right hip, but still maintain the twist.

3. Sit to stand

Repeat five times, building to 10. As your balance improves, try this activity without holding onto the table. This exercise strengthens calf muscles and toe joints, making activities such as reaching high cupboards and hanging out washing easier. 6. Toe raises with support Alternatively, you may wish to dedicate your practice to someone who means a lot to you or simply end by bowing your head. Again, repeat five times, building up to 10. Hold each squat for longer as you become stronger. Knee bends strengthen muscles in your hips and thighs, improving balance. This will help you climb stairs, bend and walk. 5.
