4 Chair Exercises to Do at Home

Working out can be a little low-key without having to equip yourself with all the paraphernalia found at the gym. Signing up for a fitness club membership is the best recourse, yes. But an alternative to this is finding yourself doing some workout routines at the comforts of your own house.

By allocating a comfy spot for workout, you can make it a habit to get your body to sweat out and firm up. The bonus you get is that you only need a chair to be your fitness buddy. These 4 chair exercises to do at home will help you shape up and manage your weight consistently:

1.Step-Ups. The chair you have to use must be hard and tough.  Stand up fronting the seat. You raise your right leg slowly and put your entire foot on the chair. Press yourself upwardly until your other foot is on top of the chair, too. Then, bring your first foot back on the ground. Repeat the same routine for as many times as you can. You can shift sides once you complete a batch of reps. Step-ups are effective in strengthening your buttocks, hamstrings, quad and thighs.

2.Total Body Plank. Your feet are to be placed on the chair. Create a table-like thing using your body. Put your elbows on the floor and your back must be straightened and held flat on the floor. Your entire body aligns in a horizontal line from the top of the chair as if you’re creating a floorboard. This intense body workout focuses on your upper body muscles which are used to support your body weight. To make it a little more intense, you can raise one of your legs and let it hang on the air for a few seconds or up to 2 minutes if you can endure.

3.Chair Pushups. Still placing your feet on top of the chair, bring your hands on the floor and use them to balance your body. They have to be spread in line with your shoulder’s width. Perform pushups with your feet on top of the chair. Make sure your back isn’t curled as you push up and down. This exercises targets your chest, triceps and butt.

4.Single Leg Squat. Stand up away from the chair and place your right leg on top of it. Figure out which position is your most balanced one. Slowly bring your hips down as low as you can by using the muscles on the leg that sets on the ground. Hold this position for a few seconds before bringing your hips back up. This exercise is another effective one that targets your hamstrings and buttocks.

Who says you can’t workout at home with just your chair next to you? Make use of its advantages. You can work your way using the chair exercises to a healthier version of you.
