If you're looking to strengthen your core muscles as well as your shoulders and arms, here's a great move called the
suitcase walk. Not only is it great for toning your muscles, but it can also prepare you for carrying your suitcase in the airport this holiday season. Here's how to do it:
- Hold a rather heavy size dumbbell in your right hand, between 15 and 30 pounds.

I find it exhilarating to get a new perspective on the world, especially on days when I am feeling a little low energy. Going upside down is great fun and it builds your shoulder, upper back, and arm strength. Inversions can be a little tricky, but this handstand variation takes advantage of the stability provided by a wall.

I feel like the most effective arm exercise in the world is the
push-up and just because you are working out in a pool doesn't mean you have to skip them. Doesn't that make you happy? You can do a push-up variation using the side of the pool.

You all know that I think it's important to have a

I truly believe in the power of multitasking moves. When you are short on time, they provide the needed one-two fitness punch. Here is a great exercise that will target the arms and back, but the core and glutes as well.

I am always looking for quick ways to work my arms. This exercise is great for those commercial break moments, but is also great to do at the gym. It is a great exercise since it works your biceps, triceps and deltoids.
