Push-Up Rotation

This easy workout move will have you feeling like you spent hours at the gym. Challenge yourself with a fun twist on the basic push-up.

• Start in a plank position, with your shoulders over your wrists and legs out behind you with your feet hip-distance apart. Pull your navel in and keep your back straight.
• As you lower and exhale, bend your elbows outward to the sides. Hold at the bottom for one breath.
• Raise back up to top push-up position. As you reach the top, keep moving in a fluid motion to side plank position: release your right arm and raise it to the ceiling, keeping your body in a long diagonal line. Hold for one breath, then move back into plank position.
• Repeat the push-up, twisting the opposite direction, bringing your left arm toward the ceiling. Return to plank position to complete one rep.
• Perform 15 reps.

• Perform 15 reps.

• Do 10 reps to complete a set.

Reverse Fly

Put on those old leggings and grab a pair of five-pound weights — sneaking an arm workout into your day just got easier.

• Do 10 reps to complete a set.

• Start on the floor, resting on your forearms and knees.
• Step your feet out one at a time, coming into a plank position.
• Contract your abs to prevent your booty from sticking up or sinking. Your spine should be parallel to the floor, with your abs pulling toward the ceiling.

• Repeat three times.

Side Walking Plank

Move that coffee table aside and get sweating with this fun move.

• Repeat 10 times, alternating sides

Triceps Dips

You can do this workout on the side of your bed, with a bench, or by grabbing on to a sturdy ledge.

• Position your hands shoulder-width apart on a secured bench or stable chair.

Tighten up your belly and improve your balance with the side elbow plank.

Diamond Push-Ups

Work out your triceps and increase your strength with the diamond push-up.

• Start in the plank position with your hands under your shoulders and your body in one straight line; separate your feet so they're about shoulder-width apart to help you stay balanced throughout the exercise. If you can't do a push-up this way, then just lower your knees to the floor.
