A chair is enough to train when time is short
Those who think that training necessarily requires a gym full of equipment, does not know that there are several alternative solutions to keep fit. Even sitting comfortably on a chair, it is possible to perform some workouts that help the body stay healthy and reduce sedentary lifestyle.

Here are 3 exercises you can do while sitting to speed up your metabolism and lose weight
The first exercise that can be done while seated is the Arm Circles. While seated, extend your arms and keep them straight at shoulder height. Make circular movements in a clockwise and then anticlockwise direction as if to form small circles with the arms. perform the movement with some rapidity and taking care to keep the muscles of the arms in tension. Repeat the series of 20 circles per direction three times. This exercise serves to strengthen the muscles of the arms and shoulders. For even more effective results, keep your core contracted as you perform to strengthen your abdominals.
The second exercise that can be performed while seated is the Straight Leg Circles. In this case it is a question of drawing circles, as for the arms, with the legs. Lifting both legs and placing your hands on the chair, draw small circles first in one direction and then in the opposite. Thanks to this exercise, your legs and abs will be strengthened.
Finally, perform the Gluteal Squeeze. While seated, you simply contract and relax your glutes and hamstrings for at least three sets of 15 repetitions. Strengthening the glutes and hamstring serves to prevent numerous back problems such as lower back pain.
By combining adequate training with a healthy lifestyle and diet, the results of your commitment will certainly not be long in coming.
