Today I'll show you how to adapt a single exercise - the good old fashioned push up - to help you tone up your chest, shoulders and the backs of your arms. These push ups can be performed with either your feet or your knees on the floor. Maintain a straight body throughout the movement and keep your head slightly forwards of your hands.
1) Narrow Push Ups x 10
For this set your thumbs should almost be touching and you press up with your elbows close to your body.
2) Regular Push Ups x 10
For this set your hands will be shoulder width apart
3) Wide Push Ups x 10
For this set your hands will be placed slightly wider than your body
A while back I showed you how to shape up your arms in my posts Banish Bingo Wings and So You Want Great Arms
