Hi, I'm Natalie Jo. Welcome back to Happy, Healthy and Fit. Today, I'm answering the question, can you define your arms without weights or without equipment at the gym? Because I get that question a lot. Can I actually do that without having weights or going to a fancy gym and having all this crazy equipment? And I want to tell you that yes, you can. You can do so much with your own body weight. And I want to show you some of my favorite arm exercises that you could do. Beginner, advanced, doesn't matter, in your own home with your own body weight. The first one is push ups. Now, when you think of a push up, you'll think it's mostly working chest, which, yes, it does work chest. However, by changing the position of your arms and bringing them in closer, you can really get the back of your arms, those triceps. And by putting them wider, you can get more of your chest. And by tilting yourself up, you could even get into working your shoulders. And although your shoulders are higher than your arm, what you're trying to change, if you think about it, if you really can define those shoulders, you're going to make your arms look more toned just from that. My next favorite body weight exercises to really define the arms are tricep shimmies. I love tricep shimmies because you're in a push up position with these. So you're still working your core, you're doing functional fitness, but you're taking this move down, forward and back and you're really working those triceps. And these are challenging. You can do a lot of them. If you can do it, make it intense. If you can only do a couple of them and that's hard, you're still going to get the benefits. The next one is crab walk. Now, we're still working that tricep because that is one of the harder areas on your arms to work. And when you can really get that defined and strong, you're going to see a difference in how your arms look. A crab walk is an awesome move that gets your core but also really works those triceps and gets you challenging them. And you can take crab walks, forward, back, side to side, move all around with them. The next bodyweight exercise I love for arms are standing up and punching. Now, that doesn't seem like much, maybe, but when you really can get into it and you can throw those punches using your back, using your arms, you can add multiple punches and really work that, you're going to get those arms and you can change those punches, not just putting them forward, but changing it into an uppercut where you're taking it up and you start really, really tapping into those biceps. So there you have it. You do not have to use weights to define your arms. Just shows you several different exercises that you could do with your own body weight anywhere that you want. So there you go. There's some of my favorite body weight exercises that you could do that will work your arm without machines or weights. You can do them anywhere.
