This Is THE Equipment-Free Move Trainers Swear by for Sexy Arms and Shoulder

When we surveyed some of our go-to trainers for their favorite move to sculpt arms and shoulders (no equipment necessary), half of them recommended the same exact move—and it's one you're probably pretty familiar with: pushups.

Okay, so maybe we didn't just blow your mind with this exercise you learned in P.E. But hear us out: If professional muscle makers are recommending this move for a toned upper body, why waste your time doing anything else?

The main superpower of the pushup is its effectiveness at targeting your triceps and deltoids, says strength and conditioning coach Mike Boyle, owner of Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning in Woburn, Massachusetts. And bonus: This exercise also engages your core and your chest, says Boyle. Yay for multitasking moves!
