Exercise 1: Punches - Jabs (50 Reps)
If you are thinking that doing punches or jabs is only for cardio purposes then you are wrong because jabs also help to strengthen shoulder and arm muscles. However, we won't be practicing them on a bag or on a wooden dummy. We would be practicing them only in the air. Here is how you can do it:
- Stand straight above the ground.
- Fold your arms and keep one ahead of the other.
- Make a fist and punch forward by straightening your arms.
- Move your arm back and repeat the movement with the other arm.
- Bring your arm back to its original posture.
- Keep repeating jabs and alternate them by positioning the other opposite hand ahead.
Once you finish jabs then move onto to the next exercise. Take adequate rest of not more than 15-30 seconds after finishing this exercise.
Exercise 2: Arm Dips (50 Reps)
Arms dips are one of the best exercises for strengthening forearm muscles. Here is how you can do arm dips:

- Bend your arms inward simultaneously.
