Workouts for upper arms (as requested) PUSH UPS!

In today's blog post I will be talking about workouts for the upper arms. For the workouts, I will be giving examples from beginner to intermediate to advanced.

Push up (Beginner)

Main Muscles worked: Triceps, Chest, Biceps, Core
This is the Modified version whereby you put your knees on the ground.








How to do it?
Start by lying on your stomach. With your elbows bent, place your palms flat down on the floor a little above your shoulders and slightly to the side. Your fingertips should be pointing forward. With crossed ankles and bent knees, raise your body up to almost straighten your arms.

Inhale as you slowly lower your chest till your upper arms are parallel to the floor. Exhale as you slowly return to start. Hold your core in tight and keep your spine straight. 




Push up (Intermediate)

Main Muscles worked: Triceps, Chest, Biceps, Core

1. When down on the ground, set your hands at a distance that is slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. 
2. Your feet should be set up in a way that feels right and comfortable to you
3. At the start of your push up, your arms should be straight and supporting your weight
4. Lower yourself to the ground. If you are doing it right, your chin should touch the ground first
5. keep your elbows close to your body
6. hold for 2 seconds and push up

Push up (advanced)

There are different positions for different muscle groups. So take your pick and pump!
