10 Minutes and a Chair

November 25, 2011 By 4 Comments

So here is the challenge, you have only 10 minutes to train and the only piece of equipment available is a dining room chair.

Are you prepared?

Can you rock a great minimalist workout with this limited time and equipment? Or, should you just use the chair for a short snooze?

Here’s one answer:

10 minutes nonstop get as many rounds as possible (AMRAP) of

5 Chair Dips
5 Feet Elevated Push-ups
5 Chair Step Ups (each leg)
5 Chair Jumps

Ready? Set? GO!!

What’s your 10 minute chair workout?

    Thanks Jon,

    Great quick workout !!!! I use it when I only have a short time to workout.
    I do this and a little bit of abs work.

    All the best,

    Brian

    Awesome, Brian!

    Another way to use this type of workout is to plug it in on an “off” day as a form of active recovery. Have fun!

    Jon,

    Fine example of how to get a challenging workout without a ton of equipment. There’s so many variations to these bodyweight exercises that you might never even repeat the same workout.

    I am very impressed with your work out man but I think your daughter was proud of you to since she was with you while you are doing your workout. She is concern if you might get accident, that’s what I think.
