Why Should I Exercise?

Whether you are just starting an exercise program or continuing a lifelong practice, a regular exercise regimen will help you have a better life.

What Do I Need?

The only essential equipment you will need if you are doing the beginner program is a straight-backed, non-cushioned chair. It can have arms or not. A folding chair or kitchen table chair is ideal. If you use a wheelchair, then you are good to go.
