1. Shadow Boxing To Work Your Shoulders

How to:

  1. Stand as you normally would, but keep your feet spread at shoulder distance. In proportion to your abdomen, keep one foot placed in front with the other slightly behind. Then, bend a little at the knees.
  2. Stretch one arm in front of you while keeping the other bent. Then, repeatedly and rapidly alternate positioning of the hands and feet. Make sure that it looks like you’re punching the air with your hands. If this exercise is too easy for you, you can add weights to each hand.

2. Wall Push-Ups To Work Your Pectorals And Your Shoulders

How to:

  1. Keeping your arms straight, place your palms on a wall. Make sure that your feet are shoulder-distance apart. Begin by standing on top of your toes. Slowly press yourself closer to the wall by bending at the elbows.
  2. Pay attention to your posture, as it should be straightened. Make sure to exhale when you push away from the wall and inhale when you lower yourself towards the wall.

3. Bend Your Arms To Tone The Biceps

How to:

  1. Stand on two feet, but keep your feet at a shoulder-width distance. With your back straight, start to bend at the knees. Then, begin to tilt the pelvis backward. You can use weights on each arm, but if you don’t have any, they can be replaced with water bottles.
  2. Position your elbows. Then, begin raising your arms until they reach your chest. Bring them all the way up to your face. Then, begin slowly lowering the arms. Breath in while straightening the arms, and breath out when bending the arms.

4. Push-Ups With A Bench To Work The Triceps

How to:

  1. Position your hands on top of the bench. Keep them as far apart as your shoulders are. Keep your legs straight as well. Allow yourself to feel the tension in your abdominal muscles. Begin lowering your upper body by bending at the elbows.
  2. Make an attempt to keep your body as straight as you can. Return to your initial positioning. If this exercise is too hard for you, you may bend your knees. You should breathe in while lowering your body and breathe out while pushing upwards.

5. Backward Push-Ups With A Chair To Tone The Triceps

How to:

  1. This exercise can be performed with a chair, a couch, or a bench. Position the hands using the stable surface of your choice behind you. Begin with your knees bent at a right angle.
  2. Then, slowly lower your pelvis bones by bending at the elbows to lower your body with them. Once you’re done, return to the initial position. You should breathe in while lowering your body and breathe out while coming back up.

6. Traditional Push-Ups For The Hips And Abdominal Muscles

How to:

  1. Use a floor mat to lie down on. Begin lifting your abdomen from the floor with your hands. Your elbows should be bent. Then, begin bending at the knees while lifting your legs. Your ankles should stay crossed.
  2. Then, lift yourself up off of the floor using your hands. You should be inhaling when lowering your body and exhaling when lifting your body.
