Forget running and swimming — this chair workout boosts your metabolism and builds cardiovascular fitness

A pjoto of a woman working out with a chair.

Running and swimming are great ways to boost your metabolism, burn calories, and improve your cardiovascular fitness. But if you’re looking for a low-impact workout, without having to travel to a pool, I’ve got you covered. The workout below will get your heart rate up, work your upper and lower body, as well as your core, all from the comfort of your chair. Just make sure the chair doesn’t have wheels, and that you can comfortably put both feet flat on the floor before getting started.

Remember that if you’re a complete beginner or you’re returning to exercise following an injury, it’s always a good idea to seek advice from a professional before taking on a new workout routine.
