Step 2 of 9

Sphinx Push-Ups: Great for forearms and shoulders. Get into push-up position, then place forearms on the ground

You'll hit all three components of the triceps muscle with these movements. I will try it out. This is also a great core and chest workout, nice work.

Hi Rehana, I would suggest doing this workout 2-3 times per week for quicker results. I cannot guarantee when you will start seeing results, but you should be feeling stronger after the first week... Probably seeing less jiggle around then too!!
