I want to first just thank you for joining me.
And my name is Jen.
We are going to be doing some fun little exercises today,
All while seated.
Any chair will be sufficient as long as it is a nice sturdy chair.
Make sure that you have enough space around you to get some good movement in.
Just be wearing comfortable clothes,
Whatever that looks like for you.
You could wear shoes or be in your bare feet.
And um i'm gonna say let's just begin by sitting a little bit on the edge of our seat Just feel free to follow along,
But if you need to go slower,
Go slower.
This video will be probably about three to five minutes of exercising.
I always like to start with a nice couple of inhales through the nose as the arms come overhead and then exhaling out of your mouth as your arms come down.
So let's go ahead and inhale.
Exhale.
Again,
Inhale.
And exhale.
Let's just start to get our blood flowing and our muscles and joints warmed up.
Take your shoulders up to your ears and then back.
Do about eight repetitions.
And to the front.
Everything loose.
All right and again make sure you're on the edge of your seat you want to have a nice tall posture We are going to start.
I will say one more thing.
If you would like to modify this to be a little bit more challenging,
You could grab some dumbbells.
I would say three or five pounds,
Even one pound,
Whatever is comfortable for you where you're not going to.
Jeopardize your posture.
You want to maintain a nice,
Upright posture,
Keeping your core muscles tight.
So we're gonna begin,
What we're gonna do is Envision pulling down.
Perhaps a bar.
You want to engage your bicep muscles and really.
.
.
Feel the resistance as you pull down.
And then each knee comes up alternately just to a comfortable height.
And this is it.
This is how we're going to start.
Nice gentle moves.
Like I said,
If you'd like to have a dumbbell in each hand.
A little bit extra.
Resistance and extra muscle work.
That would be a lovely addition.
All right,
We're gonna do a few more here.
Now keep your knees,
Keep your legs coming up just like this.
And bring your arms.
The sides and back in.
Gentle moves.
Work that body.
Engage our muscles.
Blood pumping a bit.
Always remember to breathe.
Do one more set of each.
Thank you.
Again,
The knees just are kind of continuing to come up and down.
Nice moderate pace.
Nice little energy boost.
Any time of day you feel you might be starting to.
.
.
Slump in energy.
Maybe having a.
.
.
A lower mood.
Exercising is great to lift our mood,
To lift our spirits.
Alright,
Let's do another.
Set.
Out and in.
Hang with me just a little longer.
We're almost done.
Go ahead and just do a little bit of Marching in place.
Stomp those feet.
And really bring those elbows back.
March.
Shake it out.
I'm really feeling it in my arms Let's end with two inhales.
Exhale.
And last one.
Now,
If you'd like to do this a little longer,
Maybe march in place for a little longer,
Feel free to do that.
I appreciate you joining me as always.
I hope to see you again soon.
Have a wonderful day.
Bye bye.
