Do you have a pull-up/chin-up bar? If so, I'd get on those, too. You say yourself that you have no arm strength, and that's an excellent bodyweight exercise.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

I do not own one of those but I have weights (like 1-20 lb dumb bells) that I use when doing upper arm strength
I would usualy do like (less for more weight, more for less weight) 5-15 reps of lifting my arms up straight over my head like I'm raising my hands

So yeah. Apparently I'm far weaker and more out of shape than I thought. I'll just be sticking to the every-other-day thing so I can actually function

[Jervill]

Bumped in case anyone forgot.  I do it daily myself, it's not as if I do much physical activity at work.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

I've also started daily exercises based on this
Though slightly modified to make use of weights and muscles I need to work on

[MaximumZero]

Cryxis, if you want to build your arm strength faster, do something that feels really stupid for about a minute, then you realize the severity of the situation.

Take your lightest dumbbell. Like, 1lb or less. Hold it in both hands. Put your arms straight out in front of you, collarbone high, and hold them there as long as you can without letting them droop at all. Be prepared for that 1lb to feel like a ton after a short while.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

That's not all that different from what I've been doing
I've been using 3lb dumbells in each hand during jumping jacks and I hold them out like that when I do squats, also hold my arms out to the side with them and flap my arms like an idiot but makes my arms burn so it ought to be working
As well as the holding them out infront of me

PTW.

I need to print this. I think I have enough space in my room to do these before I shower, I could just never remember the cycles when it was on HabitRPG.

I've been working out for a while now. I decided to try this yesterday. I did medium, and it seemed fairly decent. Gonna try to work my way up to hard mode.

[pisskop]

I did these today.  Recommend.

[Parsely]

Hah! Fools! I already do this every other day in the evening:
25 Bicep Curls
25 Bent-Over Bicep Curls
50 Forearm Curls
Pushups to failure

And on the off days I do my abdominal workout.

[MaximumZero]

Good for you. No, seriously, good for you. This isn't about people who already exercise, though, it's about working out the ones who don't.

Maybe you would take the Mountain-Climber challenge then?   3 sets of 20, with feeling.

Remember that you have to do both legs for it to count as 1.
