A low-impact full-body chair workout that's beginner-friendly

POV: You want to workout, but you need something low impact that you can do on the fly.

Whether you're a beginner who's just starting out at home or you're looking for a less intense way to get some movement in, this chair workout from fitness coach Beverley Cheng could be exactly what you've been after. While our last chair workout leveled up the intensity with sets of challenging circuits, this one slows things down to focus on lighter, simpler moves. 

In this video from her series Fit for Me, Beverley will lead you through a 25-minute full-body workout that uses this everyday household object to stabilize and build resistance. You'll start with a dynamic warm-up, then move into two rounds of exercises that'll get your muscles firing from head to toe. 

Check out the full workout video, then scroll down for the list of reps. All you'll need is your chair, a mat and some water. Let's get started!
