[quote=Anonymous]Pushups are really good for general upper body strength. They target chest, abs, front shoulders, and triceps. Start on your knees if you can't do it from a plank position. Keep building reps until you can do a regular set of 12 pushups. Try to do 5 sets. Pullups. You don't need a pull-up bar, just a wood or tile floor. Lay down flat with your arms in front of you on the floor. Pull your body with your arms and hands. Then, push yourself back to the start position. Strengthens shoulders, back, biceps. Do maximum reps 5 times. Weighted unbalanced squats. Hold 5 pounds above your head with one arm, holding 10 pounds in the other arm in your hand hanging down in a natural position. Keep posture upright. Don't lean forward at waist. Do 12 squats. Switch arms up/down and do another set. Strengthens shoulders, lower back, and abs (stability is key to this exercise), plus quads and gluts. Bent over rows will target upper back.[/quote]
