Upper Body & Abs Day Workout Plan

Pushing exercises, like push-ups, involve you pushing weight away from your body and generally strengthen your chest, shoulders, and triceps. In pulling exercises, like bicep curls (or in our case today, a superman with arm pulldown), you pull weight toward your body, targeting your back, biceps, and forearms. Using them both together, like we are in today’s upper-body and core strength workout, helps us ensure we’re really strengthening our entire upper body—and often, our core in the process.
