Edition 4
Welcome back to the final edition of Jari Love’s ten-minute full body workout! With so much of our lives tied to our PCs, from work to Zoom meetings, we’re sitting a lot! We asked Jari Love, certified personal trainer, author, and creator of the incredibly popular and scientifically tested Get RIPPED! workout series, to create a ten-minute full body workout that you can work into the busiest of schedules and do from the comfort of your own chair! In this edition, we will cover the final three exercises to complete the workout!
*Before beginning, for safety, be sure to use a sturdy chair on a flat surface. Avoid using a chair with wheels as they are unstable.
9. Bicep Curls:
Sitting at the end of your chair, hold dumbbells in each hand with your palms facing up. Bring the weights to the shoulders and squeeze at the top, then slowly bring the weights back down to the hips and repeat. Do 12-15 reps for 1-2 sets.
10. Shoulder Press:
With your chair against the wall, sit all the way back in the chair, holding a pair of dumbbells in your hands with your palms facing out. Have your elbows at 90 degrees, then extend your arms up towards the ceiling and lower the weights back down to the ears or 90 degrees. Do 12-15 reps for 1-2 sets.
11. Push-ups:
With your chair securely placed against the wall, put your feet in the middle of the chair. Place your hands on the floor, with your arms fully extended. Hands should be shoulder width apart and your elbows directly under the shoulders. Keep your core tight and back straight, then lower your upper body down to 90 degrees and use your arms to push your body back up to the starting position so that your arms are at full extension. Do 8-10 reps for 1 set.
