Cottage workouts- no equipment needed - Week 2 of 3
This is week 2 of the Vintage Fitness cottage workout blog series. I filmed this one on a rainy day at a cottage in the screened in porch with just a Muskoka chair and a paddle.
Week 2: The Muskoka chair workout
Muskoka chair squat with a paddle
Tips:
- If your knees hurt going down to the chair do a partial squat
- Keep your back tall and shoulder down
- Do 15 reps

Tips
- To make this exercise easier start with your feet closer to the chair or slow down the movement
- This is a great way to warm the body up
- Keep the core braced to protect the lower back
- Do 20 reps (10 on each leg)

Tips:
- The farther you stand away from the chair the more difficult the exercise will be
- Keep your shoulders relaxed and brace the core to protect your lower back
- Do 8-10 reps

Tips:
- Sit at the front of the chair so that the paddle doesn’t hit into the chair
- Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the end of the row and hold for a few seconds
- Do 15 reps
