My lightbulb moment about using furniture for exercise

I always thought I needed weights to get a good sweat. Then I saw a chair in my living room and wondered if I could use it. Now I do step-ups on it during breakfast. My legs feel stronger after just a few weeks. It started when I was too lazy to go to the store. I realized my couch is perfect for tricep dips. This changed how I think about staying active.

My old apartment had these weirdly sturdy kitchen chairs I tried using for step ups last year. I mean it worked okay at first but honestly I kept worrying about breaking them or slipping off. Maybe it's just me but I ended up going back to just using the stairs in my building for cardio. I guess I feel safer with stuff made for working out, even if it costs more.

Yeah test it first, put your full weight on it before trying any moves. I use my dining chairs because they're solid wood.
