4 Simple Exercises to Get an Amazing Upper Body
Achieve A-list tone all over with this simple routine targeting your arms, shoulders, back, and core.
1. Kneeling Hand Press
Begin on all fours with two 3-pound weights in your left hand, palm facing away from your body. Keep your right arm straight with palm flat on the ground. Maintain a slight bend in your left elbow.
Bend through your left elbow to push and extend left arm straight up to the ceiling, keeping your gaze at a fixed point on the ground and your neck relaxed. Return arm to floor; that’s one rep. Do 30, and switch arms.
2. Lasso Arm
Hold a weight in each hand. Extend both arms straight out from your sides like a T, with right palm down and left palm facing the back wall.
Bend left arm at the elbow, and swing it up and forward, holding the weight about six inches above your head, palm facing forward. Swing your arm back to starting position, with palm facing backward. That’s one rep; do 30, and switch arms.
3. Elbow Raise
Kneel with legs shoulder-width apart. Secure weights in your right hand. Hold right arm across your body at a 90-degree angle. Hold weights in front of your belly button, palm facing up. Extend your left arm, keeping your hand 12 inches from your leg.
Raise weights to chest level, flipping palm outward and reaching your right elbow out at a diagonal. That’s one rep; do 30, and switch arms.
4. Single-Arm V Press
Hold a weight in each hand, and extend left arm straight out to the left side of your body. Bend your right arm at the elbow, crunching in your obliques and creating a 90-degree angle, palm facing up.
Press right arm up and away from the body, with palm reaching toward ceiling. That’s one rep; do 30, and switch arms.
