Push Ups

2. Have your hands slightly under and outside of your shoulders
3. Keep a tight core and lower your body towards the ground until your chest nearly touches the floor.
4. As you lower yourself, tuck your elbows pulling them close towards your body, so your upper arms form a 45-degree angle, when your tors reaches the bottom hold for 1-2 seconds then push back to the starting position.

Triceps Dips.

1. Use a steady bench or chair, place your hands should-width apart on the bench and your feet as far out as you can. Your arms should be straight but with a slight bend in your elbows.
2. Engage you core and slowly lower your upper body towards the floor by bending at the elbows until your upper arms are parallel with the floor. Keep your elbows tucked into your sides.
3. Once at the bottom, contract your triceps and push yourself back up to the starting position.

Dumbbell Curls

2. Standing up straight holding the dumbbells with an underarm grip, keeping your elbows tight against your body bring your hands towards your shoulders.
3. Slowly bring your hands/dumbbells back to your outer thigh.

Y-Raises

You can use an exercise ball, or the floor.
