Let’s get started and show your arms some love!

Triceps Dips

Sit with knees bent, hands behind hips, fingers pointing forward. Press through palms to lift hips, then slowly bend elbows to lower your body, keeping back close to hands. Exhale as you press up. Keep shoulders away from ears; avoid letting elbows flare out.

Push-Ups (Knee or Full)

Begin in a high plank (knees down for modified). Hands shoulder-width apart, core tight. Lower chest toward floor, keeping elbows at 45°. Inhale down, exhale press up. Don’t sag your hips or let elbows flare wide.

Plank Shoulder Taps

From a high plank, feet hip-width, tap one shoulder with the opposite hand, keeping hips steady. Alternate sides. Breathe steadily and keep your core braced. Avoid rocking side to side or speeding up—control is key.

Diamond Push-Ups (Modified)

Kneel and place hands together under chest, forming a diamond shape. Lower torso toward hands, elbows close to sides. Exhale as you press back up. Keep your core active; don’t let your chest collapse or shrug shoulders.

Standing Arm Circles

Stand tall, arms extended at shoulder height. Make small, controlled circles forward for half the time, then reverse. Keep posture lifted and avoid arching lower back. Breathe smoothly and keep shoulders relaxed.

Alternating Biceps Curls (Bodyweight Squeeze)

Stand tall, elbows tucked, fists up. Flex one arm by squeezing your biceps tightly through the curl—imagine an invisible weight. Alternate arms with strong muscle tension, exhaling as you squeeze. Don’t rush; focus on the muscle contraction.
