Chair Push-Ups w/ DPT Amir

A desk-side strength move that works arms, shoulders, and chest while easing slouched posture and bringing balance back to the upper body.

Overview: Chair push-ups strengthen arms, shoulders, and chest while opening posture—bringing a quick dose of upper-body training to your workspace.

Directions

1. Starting Position

  • Stand facing the back of a sturdy chair.

  • Place your hands on the top edge, shoulder-width apart, and step your feet back until your body forms a straight line from head to heels.

  • Engage your core and keep your shoulders relaxed.

4. Repeat

  • Perform 10–15 repetitions for 2–3 rounds.

2. Lower Down

  • Bend your elbows slowly, lowering your chest toward the back of the chair while keeping your body straight.

  • Keep your elbows angled slightly back—not flaring wide.

3. Press Back Up

  • Push through your palms to straighten your arms, returning to the starting position.

  • Keep movements smooth and controlled.
