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
