Wake up the backs of your arms with a tough-to-do, but guaranteed-to-feel, triceps move. Accept that your first few reps will be feeble or awkward, but you can get the most from yourself and a P90X-worthy triceps workout when you use positive self-talk to stick with it by repeating 'I can do this; I'm getting stronger -- one rep at a time.'
TARGET Triceps
MOVE Single-arm, side push-up
SETUP Lie on your left side with legs together, slightly bent. Rest left hand on right hip and right hand on floor in front of left shoulder.
ACTION Press down into palm to extend right arm to push torso up lifting left shoulder off floor. Bend right elbow to lower torso a few inches from the floor. Repeat as many times as possible; switch sides.
