]]>A simple push-up is one of the best chest and tricep exercises you can do. If you’re a beginner you can start on your knees, and if you want more of a challenge you can use handles to go even deeper.
Start in a high plank position with your hands beneath your shoulders. Engage your core and bend your elbows to lower the body down in one long line from head to heels in one movement. When the upper arms are parallel to the floor, press straight back up to start. Do 10-15 reps.
Another great chest and tricep exercise in one, you can do it on a mat on the floor or on a bench. If you want to work on the upper chest you can put the bench on a positive incline.
Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor, holding a dumbbell in each hand. Extend your arms straight up parallel to the chest with palms facing towards the bottom half of your body. With control bend your arms and lower them to your sides until your triceps touch the floor. Your elbows should be at a 45-degree angle. Then straighten your arms and return to the start position. Do 10 reps.
You don’t even need a gym for this exercise, just a chair or a coffee table and you are ready. Once you get stronger you can straighten the legs to make it harder.
Start seated in the chair and hold the front edges with both hands. Scoot your butt forward until it’s hovering just off the seat and your legs are 90 degrees and straighten the arms. This is your start position, then lower your body down until your elbows form 90-degree angles. Push through the back of your arms to press back to start. Do 10 reps.

]]>Stand in a squat stance and take the pilates ring between your open palms and straighten your arms in front of your chest. Squat down and squeeze the ring between your palms, feeling the resistance in your chest. This exercise works on your legs, glutes, shoulders, and chest muscles.
For this exercise, you can either put your ankles inside the ring or balance on the outside. Inside will work the outside of the thighs and outside you will be working your inner thighs. Lie on your side, using one arm on the floor for balance, and lift both legs up and down. You will also feel it in your waist.
Lie flat on your back with your knees bent and your feet on the floor, put the ring between your knees and squeeze it a little to keep it in place. Lift the glutes off the floor, vertebrae by vertebrae, squeeze the ring as you go up, and release as you go down. Make sure you are engaging the core throughout the entire movement.
This is a core finisher! Lie on your back with your legs straight in the air, put the ring between your ankles and lower your legs so you feel resistance in your core, but don’t curve your lower back. Lift your head, neck, and upper chest, and straighten your arms to the sides of your body. Pulsing the arms up and down in time to your breath, turning the palms upwards and downwards with the inhale and exhale. So five inhales and five exhales, 10 times and you have the pilates 100!
