Burn, Baby, Burn: The Metabolism-Boosting Superset Workout

Diamond Push-Up

Targets: Triceps and chest

25 percent more sculpting than standard triceps moves, like overhead extensions.

Start on floor in modified push-up position, balancing on hands and knees with arms extended so that body forms a straight line from shoulders to knees; move palms close together under chest, thumbs and forefingers touching, to form a diamond shape on floor. MAKE IT HARDER: Start in full push-up position, on hands and toes.
Bend elbows to lower chest toward floor. Return to start.
Do 8 to 15 reps, then return to the Preacher Curl. Continue alternating sets until you've done 3 sets of each exercise.
