Workout for arms

You might remember that one of my top 10 goals-if-I-was-guaranteed-to-succeed was to get in good enough shape that I could find a partner for pair skating.

One thing I need to do in order to get there is to develop upper body strength.  It's been a touch reality check that I can't do pushups or pullups.  Part of that reality check has been to only tackle one problem at a time.  Pushups are the easier problem to tackle since all you need is the ground below you.  Any workout I've done that calls for pushups from ANY position - knees, plank, or pike - has been modified.  I admit it.  I have to do "girl pushups", from my knees.

This month, Fitness Magazine had a great arms workout.   Even if you aren't looking to learn overhead lifts, the workout will help firm your arms up so the flab under your arms stops waving  when you do.
