Chair squats<\/p>\n All you need for this one is a chair and possibly a mirror if you want to focus on improving your posture.<\/p>\n \u201cStand in front of a sturdy chair with feet shoulder-width apart and lower your body by bending at the hips and knees as if you\u2019re going to sit down,\u201d instructs Michael Betts, personal trainer and director of\u00a0TRAINFITNESS<\/a>. \u201cLightly touch the chair with your bum without fully sitting and then stand back up to the starting position.<\/p>\n \u201cThis works your quadriceps, hamstrings and glutes, and will help improve your balance and mobility.\u201d<\/p>\n open image in gallery<\/p>\n Wall push-ups work out your chest, shoulders and arm muscles<\/p>\n 2. Wall push-ups<\/p>\n Push-ups can be adapted to suit all different abilities.<\/p>\n \u201cStand a few steps away from a wall, place your hands on it at shoulder height and slowly push your body toward the wall and back,\u201d says Rowan Clift, training specialist at AI-based fitness and lifestyle coaching app Freeletics<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThis works out your chest, shoulders and arm muscles, and helps build upper body strength and improves posture.\u201d<\/p>\n 3. Supported single leg stands<\/p>\n Try doing a couple of repetitions of this one every day if you want to improve your balance.<\/p>\n \u201cStand next to a chair or wall for support and shift your weight onto one foot,\u201d says Betts. \u201cLift the other foot slightly off the ground and hold for 10-15 seconds, then switch legs.<\/p>\n \u201cThis works your leg muscles and core and will help improve your balance and stability.\u201d<\/p>\n 4. Heel-to-toe walks<\/p>\n \u201cWalk in a straight line, placing the heel of one foot directly in front of the toes of the other,\u201d coaches Clift. \u201cUse a wall or counter for balance if needed.<\/p>\n \u201cThis works the lower legs and core and helps improve balance and coordination which reduces the risk of falls.\u201d<\/p>\n open image in gallery<\/p>\n Core vacuum exercises help with back and neck pain<\/p>\n 5.
