An American company has created a chair that gives you a full body workout… exercising in your living room in front of the TV may actually be possible.

It’s not cheap at £682 (€805) but the creators say the ChairMaster allows the users to do 50 different exercises and allows for lower and upper body workouts as well as for stretching exercises.

The ChairMaster features a built-in set of pedals to allow for a low impact cycling workout, and also has resistance bands which allow for a wide variety of exercises to help increase strength, flexibility and aerobic conditioning. 

This invention also allows for bicep curls, leg lifts, squats and chest presses.

Company director, John Post, said: ‘Our goal was to create an attractive exercise product that lets individual's workout more often.

‘We also wanted to give people a new way to take some of the time they spend sitting and doing a favourite past time, like watching television, and turn it into a better way to exercise.’

The Washington-based company, Cascade Health and Fitness, believes the ChairMaster might be the healthiest available addition to the living room.
