When you’ve finished your workout, you can fold the chair flat and roll it to store in a closet. It will also fit beneath a bed with legs that are over 10 inches high.

Resistance Chair Exercise System Overview
The Resistance Chair Exercise System is based on a convenient to use patented color-coded Anchor Cable system that offers six different resistance levels. Included are two sets of 7 1/2 lb cables (one for upper body exercises and one for lower body exercises), a set of 5 lb cables, and a set of 12 1/2 lb cables.
Cables providing 10 lb, 15 lb, and 17 1/2 lb of resistance are available at extra cost. There’s also a lighter pack containing a set of 1 lb and 3 lb cables, suitable for rehabilitation exercises.
The system’s configuration will enable you to alternate between exercising your upper and lower body without repositioning the cables.
Foam-covered handles make for comfortable workouts.
The cable’s multi-band construction guarantees safety, while a tough polyester sheath ensures smooth, quiet workouts.
The cables can remain attached to the chair when you’re not using it.
The Back Brace Posture Corrector comes with a Health Step and a removable PostureProp.
The Health Step will enhance your leg and hip workouts. When attached to the chair’s back, you can use it to do Calf Raises and Step Exercises.
The PostureProp ensures that you maintain the correct form and good posture while exercising.
A balance bar handle on the top of the chair provides support and stability when doing standing exercises.
With the Health Step positioned at the front of the chair, shorter people can maintain proper form while exercising.
Attached to the chair’s backrest, the PostureProp provides extra back support and increases the resistance of some exercises, including Chest Presses. It will also enable you to isolate specific muscle groups optimally.
Included with the system are a User Manual, a Workout Wall Chart, and an Instructional DVD.

Resistance Chair Exercise System Summary
Resistance exercises are ideal for muscle toning and building strength. The problem with using weights for this purpose is that they can be cumbersome if you have physical limitations. This system can be very beneficial for such people, enabling them to improve their fitness while seated comfortably.
The chair comes fully assembled with two sets of cables attached. It is light enough to move, so you can work out in front of the television if desired.
The main negative of the system is that even the strongest available cables that can be used with the chair won’t provide enough resistance for some people.
Additionally, the PostureProp takes up space, so people at the higher end of the weight scale may not be able to use it.
These drawbacks aside, the system is very worthwhile for seniors, people who are rehabilitating from an injury and anyone with mobility issues who wants to improve their fitness, strength, and muscle tone.
Resistance bands provide another gentle and effective workout for people who lack the mobility for active exercise. Click this link to read an article on the benefits of resistance bands
