Push ups are perfect for developing fantastic looking arms. tart with your knees on the floor, hands slighly wider than shoulder width apart placed below your shoulders, and back straight. You can start on your feet instead of your knees to make this exercise more challenging. Lower yourself towards the ground by bending your elbows. Keep your back straight and flat the entire time. Stop lowering yourself when you are a few inches off the floor. Pause for a few seconds at the bottom of the exercise to make it more challenging. Return to the starting position keeping your back flat. This is a great exercise involving many muscles of the upper body. Start with 5-10 pushups and try to build up to as many as 50-100 push ups over several months. You can do a few pushups, take a break, then do a few more.
