Stop for chest pain, dizziness, unusual shortness of breath, or significant pain. Use a sturdy chair. Move only in a comfortable range, and use a seated option when you want one. This is not treatment, not a diagnosis, and not physical therapy. Do not practice balance without support if you are at risk of falling. If you have a health condition, a recent surgery, an injury, or major limits on mobility, ask a qualified professional before you try these movements.
