Exercise of the Week - Tricep Pushups

Tuesday June 7, 2005
If you've worked your triceps, you may have done exercises like kickbacks, extensions or dips. But if you really want to work them, put away the weights and try these tough one-armed pushups.

Do it right: Lie down on left side, hips and knees stacked. Wrap the left arm around torso so that left hand is resting on the right waist. Place the right hand on the floor in front of you, palm parallel to the body. Squeeze the triceps and push your body up. Lower and repeat before switching sides. Repeat for 1-3 sets of 10-12 reps...if you can! Check out my Travel Workout for more unique, no-equipment moves.
