Source: Yes, You Can Do Arm Workouts at Home—Here Are Two Effective Circuits to Try

Perform Circuit 1 two to three times with little to no rest between exercises. Rest for 30 seconds, then move on to Circuit 2, which you’ll also repeat two to three times with little to no rest between exercises. Perform this workout before or after a ride to complement your lower-body work. Each move is demonstrated by Levine so you can learn perfect form. You will not need any equipment. An exercise mat is optional.

Circuit 1

Perform each exercise for 60 seconds, attempting as many reps as possible.

1. Hip Hinge to High Plank Walkout

Start in a standing position and extend arms straight overhead. Hinge at the hips to bend forward and place palms on the ground. Walk hands out until you are in a high plank position with wrists under shoulders and core engaged. Reverse direction, walking your hands back to your feet. Return to stand.

2. Push-Up

Start in a high plank position with hands directly beneath shoulders, and body in a straight line. Bend elbows out to sides and lower chest to floor (or as far as you can). Keep abs tight and body in one line; don’t let your hips dip. Hold for 1 second, then push back up. Repeat.

3. Forearm Plank

Start on all fours. Lower onto your forearms with shoulders directly over elbows. Step feet back into a forearm plank position. Draw your shoulders down and back and engage abdominal muscles to keep hips in line with shoulders so your body forms a long, straight line. Squeeze legs and glutes for support. Hold this position for 60 seconds.

4. Side Plank to Thread the Needle

Lie on your right side with legs, hips, and shoulders in line. Prop yourself up on right forearm so elbow is below shoulder. Lift hips off the floor and extend left arm straight up to ceiling. Draw left hand down as you roll shoulders forward and reach below right underarm with hips remaining lifted. Reverse to return to starting position and repeat for 60 seconds. Repeat on the opposite side.

5. Bear Crawl

Start on your hands and knees. Keeping your back flat, use your core to lift your knees off the ground a few inches. Step left hand and right foot forward. Then step right hand and left foot forward. Continue to alternate as you crawl forward, making sure to look straight ahead the entire time. Do 30 seconds moving forward and back, then 30 seconds moving from side to side.

Circuit 2

Perform each exercise for 60 seconds attempting as many reps as possible.

1.Superman

Start lying facedown on a mat with arms extended straight out. Engage your back to lift arms and legs up off the mat as high as possible. Keep your gaze down to maintain a relaxed neck. Hold for one count, then lower back down. Repeat.

2. Burpee

Start standing. In one quick motion, drop hands to ground as you jump feet out behind you and lower chest to mat with hands directly under shoulders. Press through hands to push back up as you jump feet toward hands. Lift hands off floor and explosively jump straight up into the air. Land softly, coming down into a deep squat. That’s 1 rep. Repeat.

3. Lateral Arm Pulse

Stand with feet hip-width apart and extend arms out at shoulder height with a micro bend in elbows, palms facing up. Keeping shoulder blades back and down, raise arms one to two inches, then lower back to starting position. Repeat. Trust us, you’ll feel the burn.

4. Bodyweight Reverse Fly

Stand with feet hip width and send hips back to bend over about 45 degrees. Extend arms straight down in front of chest with palms in a fist. Using your upper back, open arms out wide until they are extended at shoulder height. Return to starting position and repeat.

5. Mountain Climber With Twist

Start in a high plank position, wrists under shoulders, core engaged so body forms a straight line from heels to ankles. Draw right knee in toward left elbow, then return to starting position. Draw left knee in toward right elbow, then return to starting position. That’s 1 rep. Continue to alternate legs.
