Strength Training Chair Workout

Brian uses free weights and a chair to fire up your core and challenge your balance, a seated strength session that targets your upper body with optional lower-body work.

This challenging seated strength workout for limited mobility can also be done without any lower body mobility, which is great if you’re rehabbing an injury, cannot stand at all or for long periods of time, or simply looking for a different type of push. By using free weights and a chair, you’ll fire up your core as you also focus on balance with each and every tone-tastic movement. While this workout targets your upper body, it also integrates some optional lower body muscle burners. Pull up a chair and get to work!

    I love that we have such a variety of options in the library. I currently have a piriformis injury, so this seated class was perfect. Injected with Brian’s usual humour 🙌

    Loved this class. I’m 1.5 weeks post knee surgery and this class was the perfect way to begin easing back into my exercise routine!

    Great class. I added a single weight on top of my quad during the leg lifts for an added burn…

    I used a stability ball rather than a chair and this class was terrific! You really are forced to focus on form while seated.
