Arm workouts are great to remind you how much you use your arms. The right workout should challenge enough to build resistance, but not so hard you can’t bring your cup of tea to your lips without the shakes. The best thing about working out your arms is you can do it anywhere, anytime, just using your body weight! Try these three exercises every day.

Tricep dips: keep those elbows high

Any chair or bench is all you need for this essential exercise. The technique is the key. Lower carefully with an awareness of the muscle group you are targeting.

An adapted version looks like this.

Have an email you don’t want to write? Do 5 tricep dips. Still don’t want to write it? Do another 5. Either you’ll stop procrastinating or your arms will be lean and toned by the end of the work week!

Push ups: classic and crucial

The push up is a fantastic fitness metric for anyone. Start with 5 a day and work up to 20. Hand placement is vital so observe our instructional example.

A modified version looks like this.

Keep your core engaged and see if you can brush your nose on the ground.

Modified Pull-Up: side effects include clean floors

Finally, the exercise to wrap it all up, the pull up. If you are working for home and don’t have a pull bar, it’s fine! All you need is a table.

You are more motivated to vacuum and mop the floor if you are doing pull-ups over old weetbix and cat or dog hair on the regular!

Every day to see results.

You are far better to do 5 of these exercises every day than 20 in one day and nothing for a week. Consistency builds a habit, and then the habit will push you to increase your reps.
