Circuit with small weights for toning and strengthening arms

Quick bit of good news: A few days ago, I re-broke the BMI barrier! I'm now back to BMI 39, which means I'm no longer "morbidly" obese. Yay! I had regained 1 kg, 3 months ago, and I couldn't shake it... finally, it's gone, and I'm not inviting it back again... ever!


I found this video yesterday, and I'll be incorporating it into my weekly workouts.
Since I don't have a bench, I've been using a wooden dining chair for the sitting parts, and then laying flat on the floor for the "on the back" parts.
 
So far, I've only done the circuit x2 (instead of x3, as is mentioned in the video) because I find it a bit intense at the end of the 2nd round. I hope to be up to the full 3 rounds by next week. In the meantime, instead of doing the 3rd round of this circuit, I've been doing 1 round of my usual arm workout (from Susan Powter's Lean Muscle Mass video.)

This routine works on the arms, shoulders, chest, and back. I'm hopeful that it will help give me more improvement in my triceps (yeah, problem zone extraordinaire!)

Here is the video:
