Chair pose tones the leg muscles and strengthens the hip flexors, ankles, calves, back and abdomen. Your chest and shoulders will feel a nice stretch and release of tension. Try Utkatasana at home and let us know what you think in the comments below!

- Stand up straight with your legs together. 
- Raise your arms high above your head and almost connect palms. 
- Bend your knees as much as you can while keeping your heels on the floor and arch your back slightly.  

Tips: It always helps for beginners to perform this pose near a wall. Bend into chair pose and let your back receive a little support from the wall until you’re comfortable enough to be independent.
