How to: Start lying on your left side. Cross your left arm over your chest, placing left hand on right shoulder. Cross your right arm over, placing your right hand on the floor. Press through your right hand to push your body up, straightening your right arm. Focus on squeezing your right tricep. Slowly lower back down to starting position. Press up for 45 seconds. Rest 15 seconds. Repeat on other side.
