This series of video clips show strengthening exercises that can be performed while one is sitting down. Some things that we need to remember while performing these seated exercises are:

• Breathing - Breathe normally while performing the exercises. Do not hold your breath at any time. To make sure that you are not overdoing the exercises, you should be able to maintain a normal conversation. If you are exercising alone, it is best to count out loud while doing the exercises. A useful technique is to slowly count 1-2 when performing the exercise action, and count 1-4 when going back returning to the starting position.
• Posture - Sit up tall with both feet planted firmly on the floor.
• Back Support - To make sure that your lower back is supported, roll up a small towel and place it behind your back.
