This is a full body chair workout video focused on strength training for people with diabetes who may have mobility challenges (low leg strength, balance challenges, obesity, etc.) and are just starting a strength program. This workout requires minimal equipment including a chair, a wall, and some type of resistance to hold in your hands (soup cans, water bottles, dumbbells used for weight lifting). This is a full body workout, and it is recommended that you first watch the exercise and diabetes safety, abdominal bracing, chair squat, and wall push-up videos posted below before beginning the workout. If you have high blood pressure, heart disease, or arthritis, it is recommended that you also watch the exercise safety videos listed below related to these conditions.
