Fitness Tip of the Day: Monday's Muscle Work -- No Equipment Upper Body Workout

This upper body workout consists of all bodyweight exercises.  A sturdy coffee table or chair can be used while performing these exercises.  If you want more of a challenge, take it down to the floor.

The background reminds me of the waterfall hike we did when we were in Hawaii.  Just beautiful!

There are 8 exercises total with various repetitions.  It should take about 10 minutes to complete.

No warm up is provided, please do one on your own.

For the side push ups you'll probably be more comfortable doing this off the side of a couch or padded chair.  If you need more support, you can take your feet farther apart, or put them up against the coffee table if it's nearby.

Remember to keep your head in line with your neck when doing the tip toe planks.

Please finish up with an upper body stretch.
