crazy arms

so. what are some of my favorite arm exercises.

well first, let me clarify, these aren't my FAVORITE exercises...but these are the exercises that seem to always work.

what you may need: a wall, a chair or low table

-pushups. i've learned that when you do modified pushups (pushups on your knees) you actually want to keep your feet on the ground. a lot of times we will let our feet cross behind us as we do push ups. that puts a lot of pressure on your back apparently. so. feet down. and make sure your arms are wide!

- tricep dips. i think the lower the chair or wall is to the ground it's harder and more awkward. well actually i hate tricep dips. but, they're easy to figure out. sit in a chair....and push your body away from the chair....'n' dip! you want to make sure that your elbows are close to your body so you're actually working your triceps.

- another pushup...use that same table or chair and do your pushups that way...the incline messes with you....and while you're at it, flip around, put your feet on the chair and then do pushups. woot woot.

- ooo and another pushup exercise! you can actually do pushups against the wall while standing up. it's a nice break.

i think these are fun exercises. what i've done while traveling...i've set up a little space to do these exercises, bring a towel and some water. then...i do what something that people may refer to as supersets. i go through each exercise back to back - doing 10-12 reps....and before starting over, i would do a hover or something similar to that...then i'd go at it again either one or two more times.

that's it.
i do hate pushups though.
alot.
