If You're New to Strength Training, These Are the 7 Exercises You've Got to Learn

Wesley Brown, ISSA-certified trainer, recommends adding the reverse grip push-up to your strength-training program. This move is definitely challenge, but he likes it because it recruits your core, biceps, and shoulders.

• Start in a traditional push-up position with your hands wider and closer to your waist, and then rotate your hands so that your fingers are pointing towards your toes. Only go as far as your wrist mobility allows; you shouldn't feel pain in this position.
• With control, lower down as far as you can go. Maintaining a neutral spine, push your body up off the ground with control. If necessary, feel free to modify this movement and perform it with your knees on the ground.
