Arm Workouts At Home: Try These 10 Exercises

Lateral Plank Walk

The lateral plank walk works out the entire body and increases the heart rate. Start with a high plank position (similar to a push-up). Tighten the core, move the left leg and arm out and right leg and arm in. Take 2 steps in a direction and 2 steps in the opposite direction. Repeat the movement for 3 seconds. Try to perform 2 sets of 30 seconds. People with shoulder or wrist problems should avoid the lateral plank walk. [9]

Farmer’s Walk

This exercise can increase the hearth rate and improve the strength of both the lower and upper body by working out the arms, shoulders, abdominals, glutes, and legs. Start by holding a dumbbell or kettlebell (preferable) in each hand. Go with a suitable weight that does not put too much pressure on the shoulders. Stand with both feet apart and keep both arms at the sides. Lower the shoulder, engage the core, and start walking. Make sure to gaze forward and keep the head up. Walk 20 seconds and reverse to the initial position. Try 2 to 3 sets of 40 seconds. [10]
