Chair-Based Upper Body Strength Training - 10 Minutes

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute via YouTube

Overview

Join certified trainer Juliana Berfield, PhD, E-RYT 500, CPT for a 10-minute chair-based strength training session focused on building upper body muscle and mobility. Using just a chair without arms and optional dumbbells (or household items like soup cans/water bottles as alternatives), learn proper form for exercises including tricep extensions, modified pushups, halos, and upfront rows. Perfect for beginners or those seeking a quick strength routine, perform these movements once through or repeat 2-3 times, with the option to combine with lower body exercises for a complete workout. Access additional exercise content, yoga, meditation, music therapy, and nutrition resources through the Dana-Farber Zakim Center's online platform at myzakim.dana-farber.org.
