Target Practice: Trouble Spot Toning Exercises

Spider-Man Press-Up

Trouble Zone: Backs of arms
Why it hits the spot: By keeping your elbows closer to your ribs than in the typical push-up, you increase the workout for your triceps.

Targets: Chest, triceps, abs, obliques, butt, and hips

• Start on ground in full push-up position, balancing on hands and feet with arms extended, body forming a straight line from head to heels. Make it easier: Do move on knees.
• Bring bent right knee out to side at hip level as you bend elbows 90 degrees, keeping arms tucked close to ribs, so that right knee and elbow touch.
• Press up and return to start.
• Do 8 reps. Switch sides and repeat. Do 2 sets.
