Upper Body Bed Exercises FOR SENIORS

These are a series of videos I have wanted to create for a while, so join me (Mike - Physiotherapist for these upper body bed exercises.

This is part 1: of the series of bed exercises working on mobility and helping strengthen all regions of the upper body, and we also do a stretch and some deep breathing at the end.

It’s important if you’re spending a lot of time in bed or seated, for whatever reason that may be, that you’re not only keeping your body moving, but you’re doing deep breathing also. Even every hour. You want to be getting the air into all regions of the lungs to keep them healthy.

You can progress these exercises by adding in weights or a resistance band..

And the next video will be lower body bed exercises, which will help strengthen the legs, the core and help with lower body mobility.

I hope you enjoy this workout! Part 2 to come soon!

Remember to stay moving!

Stay healthy! Stay active, stay happy! and I’ll see you soon!
