If you’re not convinced you can do a decent workout seated, then you need to give this upper body one a go. Not only is it ideal for people who suffer from mobility issues or injuries in their lower body, but it’s also perfect if you've gone in a little too hard on leg day and you just need to rest those pins. All you need is 30 spare minutes, a pair of dumbbells and a chair (or weight bench if you’re at the gym).
Seated exercises are a great way to develop strength and muscle, as they actually isolate the working muscles more. When performing a standing upper body exercise, many people will use their lower body for extra momentum to help them complete the movement (for example, bending at the knees). While you can still make strength and muscle gains doing this, by taking your lower body out of the equation will put more emphasis on the muscles you're actually using, leading to better results.
