 If you don't have time to go to the gym and you want to workout at home, all you need is a chair to get a full body workout.  We will go through a few different exercises that you can do using any chair you can find.1. Biceps curl - This one will work one arm at a time, try to bring the chair as far down as it will go then up again, the size of the chair will mean you may not be able to do as many curls as you would in the gym but don't give up. Do as many as you can on each arm 3 times. 2. Straight bar biceps curl - Use both hands to grip a flat part of the chair. You can also hold on to both legs, lower the chair as far down as it will go then up again, do as many as you can 3 times.  3. Triceps arm raise - Hold the chair at the end of the back part of the chair and lift up behind your head. Lower your forearm and raise it as you would in a normal triceps exercise. Do this as many times as you can 3 times. 4. Triceps dips - Hold on to the edge of the chair with both hands while looking away from the chair. Dip down, try to go to the floor and keep your legs as straight as you can with just your heals on the floor. Lift yourself up and repeat. Do this about 10 to 15 reps 3 sets. 5. Raised push ups - Hook your feet onto the chair and have both hands on the floor this week create a decline in your body. Do normal press ups. Try to hold for 3 seconds at the bottom of the press up then lift. Keep your back straight at all times.  6. Close hand press up - Do the same move as the press up above but in this one put your hands close, create a diamond shape with the middle of your hands. This press up will get the middle part of your chest and work your triceps.  7. Sit-ups - To work your abs put both feet on the chairs seat lay back on the floor and then raise your body to try and kiss your knees, this is a sit-up. Make sure your back is straight, and always do these slow so you don't risk injury.
