No gym? No problem! Top 8 body weight exercises.

This is the first of eight body weight exercises you can do anywhere. A simple triceps pushup is one of the best exercise you can do for your upper body. By pulling your arms in close to your sides, you save unnecessary strain on your shoulders. Targeted muscles include: chest and triceps, but the rest of your body comes into play as a stabilizer. This makes the pushup beneficial for the entire upper body. If you arch your lower back when performing the pushup on your toes, drop to your knees and do it that way. Practice a few at a time and take a break when you start to lose proper form. Try to work your way up to 3 sets of 10. Good luck!
