Chair and Dumbbell Workout: Beginner

Designed by celebrity trainer Robert Reames, this simple, step-by-step workout can be done at home with a chair and 5-, 8-, or 10-pound weights.

Warm Up

If you prefer using free weights in your workout, the Chair and Dumbbell Workout is a good choice for you. You can pick weights that are appropriate for your level of fitness. As you get stronger you may want to move to a heavier weight. You'll also need a sturdy chair, like the one shown, with solid legs and no cushioning or slippery fabric.

Warm Up

  • 4-5 minutes cardio equipment of choice, marching in place, or walking around
  • 10 seconds of arm circles front; 10 seconds of arm circles to the back
  • 12 high knee lifts (alternate 6 per side)

Next:  Knee Push-Up
