5 Upper Arm Exercises to Tone and Slim Down

1. Plyometric Push-Ups

The name might sound complex, but it's simple. A plyometric push-up is essentially a standard push-up where your hands briefly leave the ground. By pushing upward with extra force, you create a small "jump."

• Begin in a push-up position with arms fully extended.
• Lower your body down, then push back up.
• As you push up, use extra power to lift your hands off the floor for a moment.
• Keep your torso in a straight line; avoid raising your hips.
• Perform 3 sets of 10 repetitions.
