Arm exercise no. 6: Shadow boxing Do 15 to 20 repetitions each, two to three times minimum.

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, your knees soft, and your core engaged. Punch across your body, 15 reps on each side.
2. For upper cuts, start with your arm bent in a 90 degree angle. Punch upwards across your chest for 15 reps on each side.

Add weights to pump up the intensity when you feel it's time.

The spiderman push ups are a killer! I have been doing these for a month and I see so many results it is crazy! I can carry something that weighs more than 15 pounds and my arms don't feel like wings when I wave hello to someone haha!

I could never do boy pushups so I'm going to start with the knee pushups and hope to take it to the next level. Upper arms def need some toning help

These are great ideas. I wonder what type of "immediate " results I can expect. My arms need a lot of work!
