Target: Chest, shoulders, and triceps
Step 1: Lie on your back on an exercise mat or carpeting, with your feet flat on the floor and your knees bent. Holding a water bottle in each hand, bend your elbows at a 90-degree angle to the floor and your shoulders and upper arms flat along the floor.
Step 2: Slowly extend your arms straight up. Do not lock your elbow joints. Slowly return your elbows and upper arms to the floor. Continue the exercise for two sets of 10 repetitions.
Tip: Your muscles need a full day to recover between workouts, so don’t work the same muscle group every day. Alternate muscle groups or try strength training one day and walking the next.
