What are some good upper body workouts?

[CurvyLove]

I'm trying to tone up my upper body. I'm wondering what are some great upper body workouts? I want a challenge too.

if you have windows 8 or 8.1 you can download the runtastic pushups app for free its a great challenge and takes it slow at the beginning if you need to.. and builds up quickly... I just did 100 pushups yesterday and it wasn't TOO hard! :D

decline pushups work your back an biceps... so put your feet on about 3-4 steps high to start with aiming for 10-15 reps.. and gradually work your way up to handstand pushups)

do you have access to weights? or a bar (to do pull ups) or any fitness equipment...

Im trying my best to learn the push ups. Lol now the decline pushups i did today and hurt like hell but loved all over it. & yeah but they are at my dads house.

ok then with the weights you've a lot more options...
if your working out without the weights you can use a rucksack filled with bottles of water or books and use that to work your biceps and back...
with push-ups how many can you do?

[CurvyLove]

Lol. Dont laugh but the regular push-ups not the girl ones i just started 4 days ago so maybe like 5

But I've been trying to do the every day or every other day to get the hang of them.

5 is perfect!!! try this next time you workout...
do 2 pushups... then give yourself a 30sec rest... then do 3 pushups,... 30second rest... do 4 pushups...30sec rest...3 pushups 30sec rest... then 2 pushups...

so your doing a pyramid of 2,3,4,3,2 each with a 30 sec rest between... when you've done this... let me know how your getting on... i'm a personal trainer so if you wanna message me I can give your more workouts... if you'd like?
